By the way, I started the work on monthly overview and it should be out by the end of the week

Bro forgot what he was doing, and started partying.

<...>

That made me giggle.
Above all because I can totally relate to that. Been there so many times, you just want to get the work done, yet you don’t want to feel it like a chore.

Come on Rikafip, you can skip this month and get back to kicking my ass on Friday 5th of January!

Since last month ended up on Thursday, Merit Dashboard was ready basically the first day of this month so I already have all the data needed. I tried to bluff @fillippone into rushing once again to publish his monthly overview and waste his weekend, but I think he saw through my feeble attempt. Grin

I think I won’t ruin my OpSec too much revealing that here in the town where I live is holiday. Tomorrow in Italy is holiday as well. So I am moving to a secret location, away from all my machinery needed to post something as complicated as a board overview.
I usually post from mobile, but that post from mobile is a no go for me.

Local board members await November month status.

Working on it as we speak. With that being said, I have to push the deadline to sometime later next week as I have some obligations during the weekend.

Quote from: Shishir99 on December 07, 2023, 07:04:43 AM

You must be new here. Rikafip usually publishes the stats within the first fifteen days. There is no guarantee that he will do the same this month.

There's no rule really. Sometimes I update it very early, and sometime I am too lazy (or too busy) and delay it until the end of the month. Realistically speaking, my main problem is procrastination and that's something I've been working on for quiote some time with no much success.

Sometimes we need an updated merit dashboard for the most accurate data.

It depends on his mode and the workload he has. But I can guarantee you that he will publish the stats before the New Year Wink

. Kidding aside. Sometimes we need an updated merit dashboard for the most accurate data. Rikafip wants to provide accurate data. Sometimes rushing doesn't bring good results. So, he take some time to combine the data and work with relax mode. No need to rush!

No pressure, my friend. You already were slacking last month, you are becoming old and less performing. It happens even to the bests!

Oh that's for sure. When I started making these overviews I couldn't wait for DdmrDdmr to update his Merit Dashboard (I remember pestering him via PMs, asking when it will be updated) but now I am just happy to finish it by the end of the month.

This month situation is a little bit different because if I don't do it by Christmas, I definitely won't do it this month at all as in that period between Christmas and New Year I indulge myself too much in food & alchocol so I definitely won't have will to do something like this. Therefore I started the other day and hopefully finish it by end of this week, or beginning of the next at the latest.

[Note: What happens to the post when a local thread gets their own board?]

Nothing special happens, thread simply becomes part of the local board. Sometimes it gets locked after creation of local board while sometimes it stays open and active.

The funny thing is, no one even replied to my post when I called them out because they know that they are guilty of wrongdoing. They have insulted me with alternate accounts, so I cannot tell who that was. Cheesy

Some members appreciated me because I tried to fix these things, but surely some of them are not happy with my work!

I could have created a thread on local boards if I wanted to report or tag them. I didn't have to post in our local thread multiple times and request them not to do any abuse. I just wanted to help them.

But in the end it did helped didn't it? We are seeing less and less spam posts in the local thread now. Not only that the copy paste news article source style posts have also stopped. It did decreased the thread activity counts but who cares about quantity. It's always about the quality. Rather than posting like a lazy persons I see newbies (in local thread) making questions on several topics, which is surely a good sign. People are trying to discuss in a constructive manner.

With all the good and bad sides, do you think we can hope for a local board any sooner? New years brings new news, maybe a happy one.

Agbe, I am happy to inform you and Rikafip too that since I posted here in this thread and also posted in fillippone's thread about it, at least they stopped using the forum feature for now and I hope they won't repeat it again. The reason why I did not post on global boards about it is that I wanted to fix things locally. Some senior and junior members also agree with it. If global members start digging into these things, some of my locals will end up having some neutral feedback. I wanted to have a discussion with them in our local thread but it didn't worked for long time until I post this. I am happy to say that things in control for now.

Continue your good work. One thing I believed in my life is, reputation is from the heart. One character display showcase his or her reputation for me. You have done well congratulations for the peace of mind.

Given the Nigeria's population (more than 200 million, 6th most populous country in the world) and more importantly how popular bitcoin is there, its not really a surprise that they are climbing up the ladder fast and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them at the top in the future.

Success of the Nigerian local board should be a proof enough to forum staff that it makes sense to create few more local boards to those who consistently have good numbers, namely Pakistan and Bangladesh as their numbers would most likely grow too if given local boards.

Thank for your complement. I am a Nigerian and very active in the local board and there are times I would visit the board and also surprised to see how fast the board is growing and active. When we create a thread, within 7 to 10 hours the thread would be in the second page of the board. And that is a very good example of a growing board and need urgent moderators, merit Sources and Sub-boards. We will be very much happy to have those things in place so that the board will be very neat and active the more. I thank you all for supporting the board from one way or the other.

They always have been active participants on the forum with lot of recognized members which has helped them to get their own local board but also impressed by how active they are with such good number of posts within a month while some big boards are not having that much forum engagement.

For the first time in the last five months, other Bangladeshi locals were able to beat me. Usually, I was too active in our local thread, but recently, I had to cool down due to massive spam in our local thread. We Bangladeshi people have been expecting a local board for a long time now, and we are trying hard to improve the quality.

But instead, we got dozens of spammers who copy-paste news and write nonsense and started abusing the system. I felt like I should step down slowly from there as some other senior members already stepping down. Thanks for the chart Rikafip.

Smile!! You don't have to step down and if you does the local thread will just collapsed so all what you have to do is to create a topic and list all the chronic spammers that you and warn them that if they refused to stop spamming the thread then you will submit the list in the Spam reporting thread in general board everyone to see. And bump the thread every week and if they continue the spamming habit then you submit to the spam reporting thread in Reputation Board.

Congratulation to the Nigerian Community!

Nigerian Board is running fast!! Congrats!

@bitmover thanks you for the acknowledgement. We are trying in our corner though we are not competing with fillippone (Italians) and Russians and any other LB but doing things on our own way. We are really growing rapidly and that is why we need Moderators, and Merit Sources to complement the board. On behalf of naija LB, I appreciate Rikafip and President fillippone and other prestige members in the forum for their support.

Impressive strides made by Nigeria since the establishment of their local board, propelling them to the forefront of the local boards race.

What is happening in your local thread was what was happening in our local board and we took the drastic step to calm the spammers. And in most time it is the newbies that doing the spamming work. And right now our local board is very neat and clean from spamming. So don't step aside for them to kill the effort you have put in place.

I have warned those members doing these things, but I don't know if it would work.

If you think that they are merit fishing shitposters, you can always leave them neutral feedback so external merit sources know who they are dealing with. With some people you just have to get rough for them to understand what's right and wrong.

It looks good since my warning post. To be honest, I never wanted to mention any names and never wanted to post in public. I have asked them a lot of times, and other members have also asked them to stop. They were avoiding all of us, and I had to post it publicly. I wanted to fix the problem within our local thread, but no one responded to me. I was expecting a promise from them. Since they stopped after my post, I guess they deserve a chance. But if they start doing it again, I will ask some senior members to leave neutral feedback because my feedback won't show by default for obvious reasons.

AFAIK, they don't have a dedicated local board but just a dedicated thread in other languages. So everything they post has to be in that thread alone which is why it is impossible to say which is an off-topic comment also I remember the moderator's comments regarding such copy/paste in other language boards, mods don't consider them as off-topic, and will not delete.

Yeah I can imagine that its harder (or impossibke) to get rid of off topic in those cases, but shitposts can still be removed.

Another thing, if people are spamming nonsense copy/paste news and are getting merit for it, you may wanna warn those meriting them that they are not doing any favor to your local thread as that will only make them spam even more of the same stuff.

I did what I could do at this moment. I have warned those members doing these things, but I don't know if it would work. It does not matter if I stop meriting them or not. They will eventually manage to lure some merit from merit sources who review local thread posts because they cannot evaluate them. And these merits get circulated in a closed circle.

I chatted with one of the merit sources, and he promised to check before reviewing those user's posts. I wanted to fix the problems within our local thread, and I hope they will understand. I have seniors besides me, like LM.
