Topic: Bitcoin Talk has made me a bit sad today. - page 3. (Read 2025 times)

That's true. And Sir Jets even spending money to pay for the domain and host of the website just for those members who really wanted to learn. But the problem is some members still can't find it helpful as they were focusing to earn.
I feel you Man. The same feeling I always felt when visiting my local board. There are also several members in my local board who were fighting against massive amount of spammers. One main problem is we don't have any support from our Mods (but not so sure if Mods already had taken any actions, it's been days since I became inactive and I don't have any idea about what's happening. I'll take a visit soon).
I hope so too. I'll be back for the service in Fittotalk once I've finished my personal goals hehe. (once again, hoping to graduate soon).

Definitely what happens in my local board too. Fighting them is a bit tiring as I have to wait 7 seconds before I can report another post. Luckily there is an alternative for that, but the amount of unnecessary images, blockquotes, and so on is definitely annoying. Most of them don't care about anything except money, I can feel what you feel (at least that's what I think).

I'm getting desperate to fix my local board problems, there is only ~5 members who're actively fighting the spam, compared to 300 members who keep spamming every day, cheating bounties and etc. Unless they got red trust (read: can't get money using their account) they won't learn and don't care with the rules.

Hopefully, you won't stop doing what you've done, we need more members like you.

IMO, you're trying a bit too hard, that's what I felt. No offense whatsoever. When you try too hard and don't get the desired results, sadness is obvious.

The Fit to Talk project is a really good initiative and like theymos mentioned in a post about courses and educating, it's contributing and let the one's who want to learn, learn, ignore the other's.

Your topics were very good and I am sorry that they didn`t receive the expected response from the majority of forum members. But your actions motivate me personally to find interesting discussions. A huge amount of spam on the forum is very disappointing and there was a period when I didn`t want to open BitcoinTalk, because I knew that I would see a huge number of garbage posts here. But then I saw that you begin interesting discussions, raise important social issues and take care of the future of this forum. Particularly I was fascinated by "Should Bitcoin mining be legal in Venezuela?" and "How can we stimulate Bitcoin Talk?" topics. Thank you for not letting us forget about the real mission of this forum and supporting a spark of interest.

You've been putting so much efforts since from the start for these projects that will help new members and that's great. Actually I admire you Sir Jets for doing such things as I really wanted to do the same. But if these Members won't see the importance of those projects then it will only be a waste of time. I believed that some of the new members registering here really wants to learn about cryptocurrency world, yeah I still believe in that. But because of these twitbook spammer, they are influencing new members and encouraging them to be one of twitbook spammer. It's also because of greediness, all they think is EARN EARN EARN and EARN. Actually if we will just conduct a survey and ask these spammers "What is the main purpose of this forum", the answer we'll surely get is "to earn". It means they also didn't even know the importance of this forum.

This also happens even in our local board. Seems like more members are more interesting in shit topics than those educative one and helpful one.

Oh by the way Sir Jets, I'm sorry for being inactive in Fittotalk. I'm getting busier and busier each day IRL and can't spend a lot of time even here in Bitcointalk. Whew, hoping to graduate soon

Sad to say but some folks are just really here for incentives and maybe that is one of the reason why they are not showing interest on your projects.

I am always quite annoyed aswell when somebody quotes infographics.

Maybe I could help you this might be a little step but i will try to encourage some of my folks in our local section to try one of youf project which is the fit to talk english. And of course will try it myself as well.

Some newbies are interested in learning and not in making fast money. Some may be interested in learning as well as making some money. But what’s the percentage? 0,1%? For me, it’s not surprising that most of them don’t pay attention to your good projects.

Thanks for your efforts, by the way.

It looks as if my Jet Aid initiative to help encourage good posting is dead in the water. I've closed the thread in beginners, and I've put the whole board on ignore. They seem more interested in talking about TwitBook spamming, getting merits without working, and teaching newbies how to bounty spam.

There seems to be an increase in infographics and other annoying ( to me ) images, and these large blocks are often quoted, which magnifies the problem. If you can't understand a concept by reading a bit of text, then what chance have you got of understand the concept of crypto, of course this assumes that posters can produce a coherent description. Images are handy for statistical graphs of course, but there is no need to keep re-quoting them throughout a thread. This seems to be indicative of a drift towards a schoolroom posting community. There would also seem to be a belief that creating amateurish infographics is a way to earn merits.

I seem to have started quite a few projects, and most have a pretty low level of activity, but they can still take up quite a lot of time. Also, I am paying for domain names and hosting, and if they are not of benefit to members, then I should probably close them. Later today I will list them, and I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how they can be improved, or if they are no longer required.

The Fit to Talk English project is one example. It does seem to be getting a few views, so maybe I should open it up to a wider audience than just Bitcoin Talk. I'll check the server stats to see what the traffic is like.
