Not really. People would just buy accounts with activity to use to make the announcement threads, or pay someone to post it with their account.

An activity requirment for ann threads and to post or even limiting posts would make more sense then having a moderator. The alt section has a lot of competition between its users and making someone from the userbase a mod would cause catastrophic damage.

BitcoinEXpress, weren't you the one that DDoS'd the forum a few years back?

But surely that depends on his motivations, which could be bad... or good.

It needs cleaning up but I i guess there isn't many rules inside the alt coin sub forum because it's basically all about alt coin only the occasional moving of announcement threads into the proper sub forum.

He should also disclose all of the accounts he uses on this forum too, along with all websites he owns - to make sure he doesn't try to give himself an unfair advantage by (for example) heavily moderating competitors and not himself.

I agree that the altcoin section needs more active modification. And I also agree that BCX could be good at this.


But BCX, I hope you realise that if you want to become a mod it should be the end of your controversial actions. Here is you earlier this year threatening to kill redcoin:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-user-here-threatened-to-multi-fork-gamecoin-within-24-hours-what-can-we-do-435921

Agreed. A motivated mod could make a difference.

I agree BCX will probably help clean that disaster up...no harm in trying!

I feel, its not bad to make BCX as mod for altcoin section, as BCX suggested "for a month", to see how he moderates.
It's not going to do any harm.

The Altcoin subforum and its child forums really do need a lot of moderation though. Whether or not BitcoinEXpress is the right person to look over that subforum is a matter of extremely contrasting opinions though. Personally, I think his proactiveness is a good quality, but he tends to be a bit too aggressive about certain things, which may affect his/her partiality in deciding what stays and what goes. He/She is also quite vocal, which can be good or bad depending on how one interprets his/her words. It shouldn't be too huge of a deal to give him/her a couple of days of "moderated moderation" though. In any case, the forum could do a lot worse.

Having said that, I think a better solution to solving the "wild west" crisis plaguing the Altcoin subforum would be to prevent anyone with less than 29 Activity from posting there. That would cut down on anonewbie devs posting ANN threads for new scam/crap/clone-coins, shill accounts spreading both hype and FUD, and Chinese accounts posting "good coin" on any thread with "coin" in its title. Why would you want to hear anything about altcoins from a newbie account anyway? Unless you can personally see someone typing the exact words being posted on a forum, then we are all essentially faceless entities behind a screen.

It's the wild west of the forum haha. Seriously though there's a new thread every minute so it's a nightmare to moderate. Good luck to you in your application though.

i got tip off about this comment you made from a birdy and all i can say is WOW
i am *almost speechless... *almost

You call yourself "The Crypto Knight" and now after you said it yourself on one or two topics in the last couple months you are the Sheriff of Crypto ?
Your the only one who called your self that guy lol
I love how guys show up in January and figure they are experts about Crypto and know everything about everyone lol

and i can't comprehend how you think you should be in charge of anything around here based on your track record
and you know what ? i was looking around at your post history the other day and it sure as hell looked to me like you were sucking up in other sections
trying to build some credibility and bury your old drama filled topics and topic comments..
and then low and behold i see this LOL

Staff be warned about this guy.. if you did not notice his conduct in the Altcoin section has been unacceptable.
While debating for example on the Operation Shit coin topic i had debated with lots of people about what to do about clone coins
and his response over and over was to call me names.. and do you really want a moderator who is going to
- hand around calling people names and banning them ? LOL
Straight up he is young, childish, mouthy, offensive and very deceitful.

His core agenda has been to undermine a bunch of us that have complained about scam / clone coins
and much of it all stems from him bending over backwards comment after comment DEFENDING scam/clone coins
on the "Operation shit coin cleanup.." topic created by Muddadufudda
He would sit there and name call people and then he started REALLY taking things too far and started harping on these weird claims..
that either me or BCX or one of us other guys anti-scam coin were Extorting him and DDOS'ing him.

He was so intent on spreading these lies he created other topics making these claims too.. which is simply nonsense !
and just him lashing out and retaliating from the "Operation" topic where he adamantly kept defending the right to MAKE scam / clone coins.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was so militant about them because he was MAKING them LOL
It's all sitting right there in his post history for all to see..
And i can assure everyone i never extorted anyone or ddos'd anyone and i find it VERY hard to believe BCX would even waste his time on this guy.

Sorry i know this is a long one but it HAD to be said.. this guy is a clown i think and i am stunned he even has the nerve to say what he just said. WOW LOL

cryptopaths there is mod's and i ALWAYS know a few of these guys are reading pretty much everything i say here..
i think you figure there is no moderation but there is !
people do in fact get banned and they always encourage people to report issues.. so do so

I reported a guy one time and that was for "advertising" the guy copied and pasted the same paragraph of advertising for his site on like 10+ topics in a row.
other than that i have never reported anyone for anything.. and why would i ?
99% of all comments are peoples opinions and i myself think people are entitled to their opinion and won't cry ban if i don't agree..
reasonable debate on Altcoins is healthy and cryptopaths there has been nothing reasonable about your debating of them at all !
instead your conduct has been out of line and BAN worthy in my eyes.. in that "Operation topic" (where endless amounts of people are debating them)
all you ever did was resort to nasty name calling.. and that is not acceptable for a normal user never mind a mod or "Crypto Police"

Further more.. i don't recall you exposing anyone or anything ..if you did i would give you your props but sorry nothing comes to mind.

I think this cryptopaths in charge of stuff idea would cause more problems than it would solve.
And i always respected the staff here and have tried to not make too much work for them.. even if i am a bit "vocal" lol ...sorry mods
they gave us a forum with few rules and that is a good thing actually.. especially factoring in how much account hopping + coin cloning happens i think.
A guy like me will stick out like a sore thumb because some guys use TONS accounts to Troll with..
How many do you have cryptopaths ? LOL

Altcoin section discussion i think is in my own opinion about discussing altcoins in a reasonable manner.. a debate not name calling !
and considering there has to be around 1,000 coins then i think it's inevitable a lot of drama comes up,
especially when some guys DEFEND making another 1,000 of them like you have cryptopaths..
and bag holders sitting on coins getting criticized.. of course they want more rules lol  

I heard changes might be in the works for the ALT section and i just hope they don't go and impose strict new rules for talk and make guys like cryptopaths a moderator LOL

By the way Max Keiser is BitcoinExpress ? well i seen you post that on another web site and i gotta laugh.. i have no clue how you came to that conclusion.
and i am pretty sure you called me BitcoinExpress before so i think that makes me Max Keiser too LOL
..my 2 cents
i have no problem with either of those two guys.. they both may deserve some criticism (as well as myself)
but i think Max, BCX or even myself would be a better choice for a mod.. simply because i think we'd all be fair about and set aside personal agenda's
and not resort to childish angry name calling outbursts and twisted claims of extortion or hack / ddos attempts..
i also don't think the three of us would actually want to do the job LOL ...forum mod a thankless hard Job i know (not one i want) hahhaha
Note to staff: I don't want to be on my good behavior as a mod.. let Spoetnik be Spoetnik

What do you think is wrong with the altcoin section, and why do you think that you can fix it?

You should report all posts that you think need to be moderated unless a moderator has told you that your reports are wrong. Even if they're not handled, I'll see them on your reporting record if I consider you as a mod.

I'm glad I got here when I did or else I may not have been able to shed some light on the true intentions of BitcoinExpress or should I say Max Keiser.


Note this part right here:  
BitcoinExpress/Max Keiser gos hand in hand it is one and the same. My question to you is do you want Max Keiser pump and dump artist of Maxcoin to be tampering around in the altcoin scene? I didn't think so.

However I am here to propose what I see as an agreeable alternative. I am Cryptopaths I have even been refered to as the CryptoKnight in the altcoin section: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptopaths-savior-of-crypto-currency-the-crypto-knight-557953  This is because I am a fair person with no bias and always act accordingly, I also posses great analyzing and detective skills to deduct the truth. I have created a Crypto Police Department:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=654892.0 and done many things to aid the moderators in the altcoin section. I see this as a chance to increase how much I can help you around with these forums and crypto in general.

I may not be the moderator the altcoin sections deserves but I'm the one it needs right now so consider this and if you see fit assign me as a mod of the altcoin section.

If that really happens then BCX should not be a mod as per forum policy.



I think Mod status is given as per post reporting, not member status. Here u get the latest stat of reported posts => https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7763245

Why do new mods already have a power trip? If you are not a hero member you haven't been here long enough to be a qualified mod! Theymos has to redo the staff of this forum, some people are getting mod status way to easier.


BCX has been here for a while and the ALT coin section is a mess, it is the stepchild section of bitcoin and if he wants to rake thru that muck and fix it, let him. I see no harm.

Plus, we can see e-mail addresses for reports in specific boards. (For me, it's Turkish board reports, for mitzie Greek board etc.)
Hilariousandco is patroller only, he doesn't have dedicated forum, he can't see any e-mail addresses.



If that message for me, I'm here for more than a year, I moderate forum for more than 8 months and I have no power trip.

Only theymos can see that sort of stuff (and possibly the other admin who is about as mysterious as satoshi haha). No IPs or email addresses are revealed (contrary to what it says when you report stuff (unless I'm missing something there)).

Moderators normally (no idea if this forum is different) see email addresses and register/posting IPs of accounts.

I would not like to see someone who openly admits to have access to large botnets having access to both.

If there's the possibility to have moderator status _without_ access to the account's private information I'm fine with BCX....at least he's got the time to do it
