Topic: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity - page 31. (Read 18450 times)

Whoever edited this photo, forget to blur these sections. Watch carefully, You will know everything.



Well, I agree partially. But, I believe personal documents should not be allowed to share. Even if it was shared before on the internet. This will spread it more and it can be used for bad things.

Who exactly was doxxed here?
If that is some image picked up from internet/telegram showing random guy that has no links with any profile in this forum than I don't think this is the reason for ban or deletion, if post was made in Politics section like it was.
I would never post something like this in bitcointalk forum, but that's a different story.

How can you read full name and other personal information from that documents when everything important was blurred, except maybe his address and date of birth?

When the response to someone breaking the rules is urging forgiveness, do the rules really matter at all?  It seems more like virtue signaling to me while pretending to allow free speech when in reality the forum is heavily moderated for things like cryptography usage outside of Bitcoin.  It's really sad to be honest, but I understand that it's a big job to keep bad people from making inappropriate posts that violate the rules.  It's easier to just take this route of making excuses and continue censoring what you want while allowing members to be targeted and harassed under the guise of free speech when in reality it's just pawning off the responsibility on the community using the trust network, which is empowered by politics and heavily manipulated, not to mention does nothing to stop the underlying abuse and instead causes more abuse to those who stand up and do the right thing.

In general, we consider doxxing to be linking of a pseudonymous identity with a real-life identity:
If that ID was claimed to belong to some forum member, then that'd be doxxing. But because it stands alone, we don't consider it doxxing.

Separately, it's not allowed to post things that are especially security-sensitive:
If those images contain info which would be very useful in stealing that person's identity or committing similar fraud, then perhaps they should not be allowed under this rule. I don't think they contain such info, though I'm not 100% sure.

Also separately, if info about some person is posted with the implication that some sort of violence should be committed against them, then that would not be allowed because incitement isn't allowed. For example, this would be too much like incitement: "Here's a bad person's photo. Maybe someone should do something about them." I read (via Google Translate) light_warrior's post as (disappointingly) hateful, but I don't read it as incitement.

So I don't think that the post should be deleted.

But how did these guys get that information!?
If it wasn't published by yourself, it's clearly breaking the rules! They must be erased.

The point is that as long as users don't violate forum rules with their posts, no one touches them. Formally, showing hatred is not a violation of the rules. The only thing is that if there is a specific call to violence in the post, such a post should be deleted and the user may get a ban.

Since Russia's war against Ukraine is illegal from the point of view of the United States, such statements on the forum should be deleted and users can be banned.

For example:

• "Russian military: go bomb Ukraine!"
• "You should go join the Russian army to help the war against Ukraine."
• "You should attack Ukrainians."

But such statements (even though they are wrong) are allowed because they do not directly call for violence:

For example:

• "The war against Ukraine is justified."
• "It would strategically be a good idea for Putin to bomb Ukraine."

Specific incitement to violence is forbidden on the forum.

P.S. My post is based on a consultation with theymos.

We have similar situation in Croatian local board, people write there from all surrounding countries (Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro...) that speak same or similar languages.. and we still don't have our own moderator.

How many active local moderators you have in Russian local forum board?
I was taking a look and it is showing xandry and Xal0lex, but I have no idea if both of them are active now.
It's sad to see that some people are fueled with hate and they are using bitcointalk forum as platform for spreading hate to others... nobody replies to them, but they keep posting...

Ratimov, I completely understand you, but obviously nothing can be done or changed about it.
It would be logical for people to discuss crypto topics on a crypto forum, but it is obvious that external circumstances strongly influence people’s emotions and thinking.
Political topics should still be kept where they belong, in politics, and the crypto part of the forum should be free from political debates.
Everything else is freedom of speech.
I want you to soon reach a level where political topics will no longer be important in your lives.

Sorry to hear that, but honestly I am not surprised that's going on in your local board considering the situation and the fact that both Russians and Ukrainians share one local board. Add on that very lenient moderation here when it comes to trolling, hatred and swearing (even though it sucks what's going on in your board I wouldn't like this forum becoming like some others where you can get banned just for saying someone that he is lying piece of shit or something along those lines) and you get this.


Is all that stuff at least contained in one child board, or its all over? Anyway, I hope things calm down soon and people focus more on what they have in common rather than what divides them, but realistically speaking I don't think war is ending anytime soon, meaning neither the chaos in Russian board.



While it sucks what's been going on there, I am not sure that it would be a good move long term. This forum is one of the rare places where you can say what you think (excluding death threats) without being in the constant fear of getting banned, and if you start making exceptions it might become one.

This is very unpleasant. It looks like there is a kind of cold war ongoing in the Russian board. I noticed it when some Russians started making topics in Meta calling theymos to close Russian board, some called theymos to create a Ukraine board.
I think this is the time for moderators of the board to sit up and regulate the board by deleting anything that will instigate hatred and division in the board.

Excimer has about 8 topics in the first page of the Russian board. It seems he has a motive, I know his activities may not be welcoming to some Russian board users. Some might have ignored him.

This is unpleasant. We cannot forget that this forum is not about politics, nor about social issues, in a generalized way. It's to debate independently about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Of course, we can talk about issues that affect society, but this should be done in a moderate way, in order to avoid this type of situation.

I hope better days for the Russian local board.

That shitposter and troll indeed made 375 posts in Russian local board during March, as in that table of the most active users I count only posts written in local boards. His total post count for March is 427 so yeah, he's been active all over the place.

Not just yours but probably everyone else's there as I can imagine how inconvenient is to write about everything in one topic. Nothing else to do other than remaining active there and hopefully one day you get your own local board


He is a troll that became especially active ever since Russia invaded Ukraine and that explains his high post count.

Nigeria*
Uchegod-21 [21]

I made 21 posts last month, not because I wanted my post to coincide with the numerical suffix of my name. It is because the Nigerian unofficial local board is like gambling discussion threads where several discussions are happening in one thread. Most times, at my leisure, I will want to make upto 5 posts in my local thread but I will end up making one because I will have to wait for another person to reply before I can post again to avoid spamming. If Nigerian Local Board was to be a full board with child boards, my post count will be higher than 21.

Excimer[375]
When I saw this, I rushed to his profile believing I have seen a high rank high quality poster. But I was surprised to see that he is a full member and has about -7 tag from DT members. Ratimov raised a flag against him and many others supported the flag. So, are the 375 posts not a problem to the Russian board or is he a good quality poster?

Hah yeah, that troll was spamming all over the place so no wonder that he ended up at the top. Nevertheless you still did great!


Looks interesting, I haven't thought about these kind of combinations but might as well play a little bit with it. Cheers!


Yep, chart looks good and I will certainly think about doing something similar in the next overviews, if I can implement it properly.

Don't you think it's an excellent chart? It would be nice if you could gather up more charts in one scenario. But, If you put a lot of info on a single image, Sometimes people can be confused. Still, this chart looks acceptable to me. I am not asking Rikafip to follow these methods Because if you can brief as many details as possible (Which you are already doing), That will be easy to understand. So, Respect to both of you guys. Well done.

Wonderful work @Rikafip!
You even added a few nice charts to your post, which surely tell another part of the story.

I piggybacked your numbers and produced this horrible chart:



It represents the number of total posters on each board and merited users (note that the Turkish number was missing). Trying to complete the analysis, I also plotted the ratio between the two numbers.

Another good month.
This time I didn't come first, we know why. But it was a lively month, in general.

I think April will be a little calmer in general. We'll see.
Good post to everyone.

To show that last month was not a fluke, here is another monthly overview of the local boards that is released in the reasonable time frame. As always charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space. Thanks guys for your awesome tools!

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards. Not yet at least.

Post activity per local board during March 2022

After few months of decline, we finally have increase; during March 2022, 19044 posts were written across local boards which is 7% increase compared to February. I honestly expected for this decline to continue but I am glad that I was wrong. As always, Russian board is far ahead of the other and that number is even more impressive when you take into consideration that in order to access bitcointalk from Russia you have to use VPN. Rest of the top 5 consist of standard names: Turkish, German, Indonesian and Portuguese boards, while similar situation is at the bottom that is also occupied by usual suspects.

When it comes to biggest gainers, only 2 really stand out, and they don't even have their own local board, Pakistan and Nigerian. While in February  Pakistan post count was already impressive 301  in March they had 696 that is 130% increase that puts them at very high 6th spot. Regarding Nigerian, their increase is impressive as well; from 191 in February to 348 in March so that makes it ~78% increase.

Number of posters per local board during March 2022

Even though there was a decent increase in the amount of posts written, that was not followed by the increase of active members as during March 1359 users wrote at least 1 post, while February number was slightly higher, 1396 users. Given that fact, numbers are very similar to the previous period whihc is kinda expected anyway as new members don't easily come and disappear but rather people increase or decrease their activity.

---

Post/user ratio per local board for March 2022

Due popular demand and suggestion, I am introducing new chart that shows post per user ratio across local boards. As expected, more active boards tend to have higher ratio as it makes it much easier to enter into discussions if you have more different users.

---

Merit shared per local board during March 2022

The increase of number of posts was followed by merit increase; during March. 6981 merits were shared that makes it approximately 10% increase compared to February during which 6340 merits were shared across all local boards. When it comes to ranks, no surprises there: Russian is far ahead followed by Turkish, German and Italian. Top 8 is almost identical to February, with only Indonesian board dropping few spots down.

When it comes to biggest gainers, three  boards that stand out are Pakistan and Italian. Italian board increased merit shared by ~36% (from 539 to 736) and that is  a very good result for such a big board, while Pakistan board had the biggest increase, from 130 in February to 200 during March and all that while not even having their own local board. Worth mentioning are also French and Nigerian who also had decent increase but imho those numbers could be even higher.

Regarding decrease of the merit shared, the only local board that stands out is Indonesian that had 322 merits shared during March, which is almost 40% decrease compared to February and 536 merits shared.

Merit senders/receivers per local board for March 2022

As always, pretty straightforward chart. The only difference I may make in the future is to sort the boards by total amount of senders/receivers and not based on the amount shared like I was doing for now.

---

Merit/Post ratio per local board for March 2022

More or less the same names are at the top, with Dutch board kinda screwing up the chart. Such a high merit/post ratio tends to happen with less active boards as its very easy to affect it by reltively small amount of merit shared. like it happened in March. That's why I introduced the 12 month average part so it gives a clearer picture of what's really going on in the local boards and to negate these amplitudes.
