'Bitcoins are like gold bars with wings' - T.W.
I may be taking a wild guess here, because I've proudly stayed out of shitcoin bounty projects for some years; but back when I did participate in a few, the translation used to include both the ANN and the Bounty thread; not sure why, but that's what you got paid to do (if you ever got paid at all). I doubt things have changed much in the last 3 years. The only "reasonable" thing you could tell your local bounty hounters is to post the bounty post as the second reply on the ANN? Most won't ever listen tho (and of course, report any shitty translation)

Yup, that's true. They were a part of the requirement for bounty hunters to get paid.
I know threads like these don't contribute to meaningful discussions but neither do 'Ferran Torres is a great defender' posts in gambling boards.

Both are written so people would make some money and I'm ok to tolerate it both as long as bounty managers do. I'd just like to remove all these bounty threads (or delete them - hunters already got paid for all of these I guess) so our altcoin section is finally discussion only. Doesn't matter that the other one is called ANN, we all know it actually means 'spam'.

I'm sometimes known as "miniadmin"
Ok, but they are not announcement threads, actually, I am not sure what was the purpose of translated bounty topics in our board as most (if not all) of these bounties had that "post 10 times per week in altcoin section" requirement. Someone could have easily created topic and write something like "there is good bounty for X project, if anyone is interested here is topic in altcoin", and, we already have 2 years old topic dedicated to bounties. I don't know, but somehow bounties don't fit in neither altcoin or altcoin announcement, well, I would personally trash all bounties from that section but that is just me  Grin

Well, thank you for the notice. I am not shitposting here for I am just expressing my thoughts about your concern. For your information your threads belongs to bitcointalk.org but you only were the one started it and based on my understanding with due respect all members can posts in someone's thread except if there are rulings applied in that certain thread.

Now, I had fully understand why admin for now did not answer your concerns. Tsk...

Would you please do me a favor and fuck off from topics which I started? Spam your signature somewhere else. "Thank you very much."

I'd definitely move it, it's the same thing as the ANN threads.

The idea of a dedicated altcoins board was to make it easy to navigate and start meaningful discussions and bounty threads do not serve that purpose.
I know, right?

I suggested to add on OP about who are willing to accept task in moderating if ever a certain board you ask for will be provided. It should be voluntary so that the admin will not obligate to pay moderating a small section of board. Hopefully OP, you can reach out the admin regarding with whom will volunteer to moderate without pay. Moderating will be an extra baggage in the part of who will going to moderate.
This is not how mod system works, you can't just say "I am willing to work for free, make me a mod", and you get one. I highly doubt this is a matter of payment, but whether admins think we need local mod or not, based on certain criteria like number of spam posts and possibly overall board activity. We have another topic in meta about the same subject and another one in Croatian local board so rest assured we are doing what we can.

Regarding your previous suggestion that you mentioned, iirc that post was deleted so you should see it as hint not to talk about stuff you don't know much about just in order to fill signature quota and yet again you come with the same thing.

I'd definitely keep the option to have them - you never know if bounty craziness will return. But they belong in the ANN part of the local.

Thanks for creating new boards, I have little question about something. The thing is, Croatian local has "altcoin" and "altcoin announcement" board, but there is larger number of bounty topics in "altcoin" board and it looks ugly.

Should they be moved to "altcoin announcement" or left in "altcoin"?

Greeting! I completely agree with the older members of this forum that the order should be inserted between the theard.
I am new here and I can say that it is quite difficult to deal with so many scattered post Undecided

Any progress here? We're getting a lot of new members recently and local forum is congested and hard to navigate even for older members.

Please update, we're not that small as a community - Croatian local is for 5-6 countries that speak the same language.

Indeed.

Although putting the translating users on ignore helps with the visibility in the Altcoin section, it's not the solution.
Those are good translations and those are good users (egetrorx, dkbit98,denis-z12...)
We just want a seperated ANN section from the usual Altcoins section.

A lot of us are not interested in ICOs, but are interested in altcoins.
Some are interested in ICOs though.

Both of us suffer in this sort of section division.

I would like to know if it is really so hard to make special board for ANN topics.

Our request is really simple:
1. To have ANN board
2. To move all ANN threads from Altcoin board to ANN board
3. To have our local moderator who would keep order and move threads to board where they belong

I agree with all suggestions.
Please note that we are already very long time without moderator and have a lot users in our local, Croatian forum, even from other countries like Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia.
We have a lot activities and need someone to moderate all content and take care about spam.

In last few days all altcoin related threads that were on main part of the forum were placed in Altcoin section.
Finally some progress  Smiley
Now altcoin threads are mixed with ANN threads and it is almost impossible to find altcoin related thread that you want to read.
Good, it was impossible to find any bitcoin related topic in main board.
You can bookmark them, you can use search button and you can spend literally 1 minute to find thread you followed.

Or better - as you indirectly said that you don't want to read announcement threads, put these guys on ignore and you will easily find altcoin threads which you like to read because altcoin section will look like this:
----

 Wink

There are too many topics to bookmark every one of them, and also new topics sink to page No.2 very fast and it is hard to keep track of the new posts coming up.

Also adding people who translate ANN posts to ignore list isn't the best solution for me, because they also participate in forum and are part of our community too.

The best solution in my opinion is making separate ANN board, so the people who are interested in new projects have dedicated place to explore new ICO's. And in the same time altcoin discussion board can stay clean and easily readable.

I also think that we need moderator fort our croatian forum.
Someone has to make order there.
Now, it's really difficult to fund some threads, nobody controls spam etc.
We also expressed our opinion about possible moderator through pool so please consider it.
Thank you.

Let's face it, there are many new altcoins and ICOs out there that have uninteresting and/or worthless ideas and only want to suck money out of the market. However, this in itself is not reason enough to completely remove the local Altcoins child board.

In my opinion, the best solution is a separate child board for announcements just as the main 'Alternate cryptocurrencies' section is divided into 'Altcoin Discussion' and 'Announcements'.

In the following image, you can see all the Bitcoin related threads in the subforum in yellow.
All the others are mostly altcoin related.

They will. But they get warned and banned if they persist as it's against the rules to post alt coin threads in boards that don't have an alt coin section.
Is it allowed to post altcoin threads in local board which has altcoin section?


Conclusion:
-As reported altcoin threads haven't been moved to altcoin section, it is allowed to post altcoin threads in local board and there is no need for new child board.
-As only posts in altcoin section are ICO announcement translations which no one reads, there is no need for altcoin section.
-Altcoin section should be trashed and every altcoin thread in local board should be trashed as well, but as long as altcoin section exists, altcoin threads are allowed in local board
-moderator is not needed in Croatian local because moderator will waste his time moderating Croatian local

On side note, I am selling contradictions, send me PM for price.
