Do you think it would be considered plagiarism if:
I recompiled this list of posts, using an "open source" model, in the sense that anyone could replicate this list without being dependent on a single user?

As long as there is explanation of the recompilation, say, OP is not active anymore, not updated, etc., reference is also present, i don't think it's plagiarism.

Random question/suggestion: it would be better if there is an optional dispute to remove all the merits received of the OP if the content was deleted. Because in general term merit is given to quality post, and worth reading. If there's nothing to read, then it opposed to what merit is for.

Yes, unfortunately, this thread was deleted by Ratimov himself, and no one knows the real reasons yet since Ratimov himself did not respond to this thread to explain his reasons.

Have you heard of the term "bruised ego"? This is exactly what affects at this time a person who has deleted his own topics that were previously considered useful (according to users). Have you witnessed the drama discussed in the reputation section? If not, then read on to understand the reason for the behavior of a person who deletes all his topics.
What has recently been discovered by users as the disappearance of topics only proves that one cannot blindly trust those who position themselves as people who give their soul to the forum. Take responsibility for finding information on your own, which is abundant on the Internet, and do not trust those who create self-moderated topics. Sometimes, adults return to childhood and destroy their sand houses, so others do not get them.

Honestly, I've never heard the term "bruised ego" before, although I expect I understand what it means, so thanks for letting me know.

I don't visit the reputation board regularly, so I wasn't aware of what happened there. I was surprised that this was not the first time that Ratimov had deleted his topics, and I saw the members' reactions, most of which were angry at these actions.

Whether these actions, as described by the members there, are childish or evil or psychological acts, I believe that the forum administration has the right in such cases to restore deleted topics, because the materials published on the forum become the intellectual property of the forum and the administration has the right to dispose of them.

Of course. He managed for years to steal the intellectual property of many authors, why couldn't he do whatever he wants with his intellectual property (assuming that was his intellectual property)?

This is shocking if it is becoming true. I have seen such a thread linking Ratimov to plagerism. I didn't pay much attention to the thread. I have thought it was a mere trolling. This could be the right time to pay attention to the reputation threads.

This isn’t a topic for meta,

I think it is a meta topic. If someone feels they discovered a system error in the forum, meta is the right place to discuss it.

Quote from: robelneo on November 08, 2023, 05:56:06 PM

... someone should really create a thread like that as a reference for the community to use, we have a lot of users who are capable of duplicating the information on that thread and add fresh inputs, this is serious work but it can be done again.

Should the interest be creating a topic like that by someone else or knowing the reason the one created was deleted.

Who bruised the ego? Forum members or admin or moderators.

I am even surprised that such a great thread was self moderated. Even at that, anyone can delete their own posts even if not self moderated.

I wanted to visit Ratimov's encyclopedia but I found this error:

How can you call that an error? You should know that it was an edited post where the OP deleted the entire topic, and if you really read that thread, you can see that some parts of the topic were being quoted in some comments. You can decide to edit your topic and delete everything, leaving it blank, but you can't delete the comments of other members. That's why you are seeing a blank page because the OP, edited and delete everything he wrote.

It's like this is no more about the action on what experienced from the encyclopedia content rather than himself not knowing what that should mean after being on the forum for a while and yet not knowing how a post can be edited out, someone can do this for any reason being personal to him since he's the OP to that thread, just as you can also make a post and fo ahead to edit, but ninjastic thread has the record of everything and can fish them out for you.

And speaking of which, pretty much every old guide from a few years ago has been absolutely ravaged by image errors and also buried in search results too. Somebody's gotta collect all this stuff and store it in an easily accessible archive like Bitcoin Wiki (yes, it's cliche, I know) where it will not break randomly.

What was your specific idea? We already know that if the OP doesn't edit these images, there isn't much that can be done.

But, honestly, just as I had the idea of creating TalkImg to avoid these types of problems, I'm seriously starting to think about something that could minimize these situations a little. Of course I don't want to "plagiarize", but to do something for these lost. Of course I don't want to "plagiarize", but to do something to counter these losses.

So, what did you have in mind?

There's something I need to understand. Was this topic deleted by Ratimov himself? I mean the famous Beginners and Help Encyclopaedia? That topic is too good to be deleted by the autor. The information therein is superb. I mean, what must have prompted the deletion of the thread? Could it be because the thread was not pinned by theymos or something relating to that.

Yes, unfortunately, this thread was deleted by Ratimov himself, and no one knows the real reasons yet since Ratimov himself did not respond to this thread to explain his reasons.

In any case, it is really unfortunate that this exciting encyclopedia, which was very helpful and useful to beginners, has been deleted. Nothing can be done about that because this is Ratimov’s intellectual property and he has the freedom to dispose of it, but fortunately it can still be accessed through ninjastic.space.

Oh well, now I see there's a tiny dot.

Are you sure if the @OP was the one who edit it? because he mostly change his title and message using few characters.

I hope his account is not being used by any other person, because this behaviour is really worrying as he is an asset to this bitcointalk community as he came up with a lot of good topics and compilations of different topics like his encyclopaedia topic, etc.

Signs of changed hands:
1. Change email and password.
2. Using different language and sudden quality post change.
3. He ask the campaign manager to change his address.

There's not even one sign in his account, which mean there's no way his account is changed hands.

The compilation of information on that thread is worth a lot and a big help for the community you don't get this number of merits if it's not, someone should really create a thread like that as a reference for the community to use, we have a lot of users who are capable of duplicating the information on that thread and add fresh inputs, this is serious work but it can be done again.

This isn’t a topic for meta, you should know quite well that what you experienced wasn’t a glitch in the forum system. It’s obvious the OP made some modifications to the thread, you can see the OP was last edited in November 6, so what’s the confusion about? There are already a couple of threads on reputation regarding Ratimov recent activities. If you have something to say about Ratimov, you should say it in any one of those threads.

Ratimov edited it and changed it to what you are seeing, it is not an error. Ratimov behavior these days is worrying and not appropriate. That is one of his self-moderated thread, I will not be surprised if he deletes all posts on the thread as has been doing to people recently.

I have also observed that, like in the recent case in which he deleted his replies, another member's post got merged as one, and after asking, that member has to face some difficulty too. Of course, merging reduced the number of posts to 1, which is also a loss in terms of signature count.

I hope his account is not being used by any other person, because this behaviour is really worrying as he is an asset to this bitcointalk community as he came up with a lot of good topics and compilations of different topics like his encyclopaedia topic, etc.

And you are right, it is not an error as the OP can change the title whenever he is making the reply under a post. Even the member can change the title of the post other than the OP's one, but in this case, the post is the original one, so it can only be changed by the OP, so I don't know what the reasoning behind it is. Maybe he doesn't like the title and wants to change it.

I wanted to visit Ratimov's encyclopedia but I found this error:

here the whole content of the thread and it's title is missing from bitcointalk website and on browser tab too.
I pasted encyclopedia's address to other browser but facing same issue there. I don't know if it is forum related or something else.

Like everyone else said, that's not an error but a conscious decision by the OP of the thread. We can blank our own threads but we can't delete them ourselves and if I'm not wrong then only moderators are allowed to delete the threads of a user. In the above case the OP erased his post because he might have thought that it isn't needed anymore.

I don't know what's going on but I have seen many members of the forum find the actions of Ratimov unacceptable. I don't know what's the matter but I think Ratimov is among the reputed members of the forum. But, I'm not here to take anyone's side and would love to stay away from any clashes that are taking between some members.

Something extraordinary must have happened. I do not believe that anyone could put such an effort to create that kind of topic and out of vexation deletes everything. This shouldn't be accepted. I think the admin has the power to restore such a topic. Well, it is the intellectual property of Ratimov, maybe he has the power to do whatever he wishes with it.

if the post is edited then why ninjastic.space shows this "No edit history was found for this post."

does ninjastic doesn't count or index updated posts with small dots?... or something?

Because ninjastic doesn't check edits after a certain period of time.

Quote from: TryNinja on September 03, 2023, 11:21:22 AM

My bot scrapes every post two times: once when it is posted and another time after 5 minutes. If the post was edited at that point, after the first 5 minutes, the changes will show up on the edit history. That’s it.

If you edit a post 10 times, or edit a post after 1 day, 7 days, … there is no way for me (and my bot) to know since keeping track of every change is impossible.

Tryninja would have to have a hell of a lot of computing power to check all the bitcointalk posts all the time.
