Topic: Do not post off-topic replies - page 2. (Read 262774 times)

Its ironic that the post removed is not given any context when stated as deleted usually.    I'm just trying to understand why a little better, so I'll repost here the mistake I made that required moderation and maybe its obvious to someone.   Maybe its someone just hammering report but I doubt its that simple.


The OP thread title is 'Re: What will happen if the all countries convert to cryptocurrency?' and the OP post is:


I responded:

My reasoning was SDR and the IMF head has discussed use of blockchain as an alternative to national currencies.   Its just talk right now but failure is rarely planned, it could happen.    It would not be proper crypto as its centralised but most people would associate and consider it relevant to the OP topic I thought.   I could have posted a source alongside my post, do I need to do this more to justify my opinions perhaps.

The only national cyptocurrency I've heard of really is Venezuela and its a country under sanctions and press restrictions, I didnt mention it as its an opaque situation sadly.



Another topic I have no context for, I posted and had removed this post and again I'm not sure of the mistake.   I dont care about arguing the point especially but if anyone sees my mistake so I dont repeat it I'd appreciate the detail:

I think notifying people about there off topic replies is still good, so that they'll know where they give irrelevant suggestion to the topic been discuss. Deleting their post without notice, will still make them repeating the same off topic replies

I have been reporting off-topic replies once in a while and been proud with my 100% accuracy.

However today as I was about to report a clear off-topic post, I noticed that my accuracy has been tarnished.
It maybe an oddity as I have 10 reports with 88% accuracy, it would have been okay if it says 90% as that would have made 1/10 to be inaccurate but 88%.

Thank you.

Deleted posts affect Activity. If Activity would be less than required, member's rank will go down.
For example, a former Full Member korner deleted all his posts himself and became a Newbie.

If a mod deletes your post, can it affect your member rating?

can be deleted and manipulated if you wrote here something which is true and has a 100% evidence on a thread you not moderates your self. 😂😭😭😭

edit: typo edits

This will help to the other members with more care to their posting, because I saw a lot new members here just posting for the sake of their bounties and their posting off-topic replies to some thread that can be useful to others and useful for them if they read it carefully and take it deeper.

A post can be deleted but you should be warned first, I suggest.

Picture this,
JakElips is a newbie on this forum but has been a blockchain enthusiast for a while and he identifies a problem that needs addressing; now he mightn't know that scalability is already being discussed somewhere else. [the way this forum is designed makes some topics and i don't mean boards uneasy to find]
So he thinks that his project has some potentials and then talks about it on a thread trying to get people to share what they think.
If a mod already knows that it has been discussed somewhere else, why not make it known in a reply or something so that JakElips and a few others that we should assume have never given scalability a thought can have a chance to explore. It could be possible that JakElips could take a cue or two from there to improve on his own project.
It shouldn't just get deleted without warning; think of the number of users that could have either learnt something or contribute their own knowledge to the post that got deleted.  Not everyone has intentions to scam!

Honestly, most times I really do not understand the rules in this forum; it always seems like a dictatorship to me.
Maybe because I am a newbie is why my voice and thoughts do not seem relevant to the bitcoin community.

I usually spend time on the technical discussions because I love technical topics; most time if I reply to or quote someone's posts, the moderator achow101 or gmaxwell, i do not know who usually does that will just delete my post without warning.  I try not to advertise or insult anyone and i always make sure that my posts are never off but it just gets deleted. This really discourages me from posting or even sharing my thoughts and you guys know how that looks on my badge profile.   

A list of official rules should be made and pinned somewhere where everyone at the index page could see and refer to.

Another thing, if a newbie quotes a higher-rank member's quotes that contains links, it really looks bad to see "suspicious link removed" meanwhile you just quoted someone else on the same board.

I believe we are all here to add value in own our little ways; blockchain has big potentials for the world. I come from a place where access to computers isn't luxury and I and a few others are trying to see how we can utilise technology to improve lives around here. If this forum has such strict procedures, I wonder what we are actually trying to achieve.

Mods, please take note. Thanks!!

The post-off-topic replies are creating many of the problems for the newbie especially they cannot get the correct information and will result in spreading wrong information. So I think it must be deleted.

An off-topic reply can be just one of many reasons for why a moderator deleted your post. It's possible that someone reported your reply as low quality since most of your posts are bounty related. Or maybe someone found your post to be inaccurate because scalability is already being addressed by so many different projects now so it's not that much of a problem today.


Either way, i respect what the moderators are trying to do with new rules and trying to reduce spam. I've had posts deleted as well but do you see me getting angry? Anyway, if you want to leave you're more than welcome to do so but just keep in mind this forum is moderated and it's a privilege to be a member. So they can delete any post that doesn't belong here because they want the forum to remain useful for many years to come.

Hey Legendary peoples. I have a question what if one of my posts is deleted by moderators and according to me it's not at all an off-topic post? What can I do?? Please someone give me a reply over this.

Really welcome step.  If I post some question; and get reply for the other; it is of no use.  So  this step will motivate members to write to the mark.  Reply to the question really asked ; and not just post two lines for the purpose of fulfilling signature campaign requirements. 
Already merit system as done a great for the forum and I think now this decision will further add to the quality of the forum discussions .

You deleted some of my posts - and they weren't off-topic. Maybe I just had a diffenrent opinion to yours?
I am really angry atm and I think to boycott this crappy forum in the future. This is censorship at it's best.

Just to give you an example. There is a new blockchain project that tries to solve the problem with the scalability.
I said that I think that scalability is the biggest problem of nowadays blockchain and I hope that the project can solve it.

The post was deleted because it was off-topic?
This is just BS.

Please don't go to a thread called "Do not post off-topic replies" and post an off-topic reply...

You'll need to follow these instructions: Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords

Help! Please let me know who I should contact regarding regaining my old access to cryptomommy. I no longer have access to the old email. Is there an admin I should send this request to?

yes its true when there is an off topic reply, when people are looking for some serious reply and they find non interesting and not-related posts, its not actually good for the moderator as well the post user.

I sympathize with the idea because when we reply we should not go far beyond the problem of the article but instead focus on the question we asked in the post, avoid stray threads and drift posts so that people can focus on the ching content of the question

The reality is that, I do not know where to write the first message. (Therefore, I write here).

I want to report about beginning of travelogue on the forum. Hello world!

I also wish to join in your words

When can we expect to see some new rules to clarify the uncertainty? The problem of spam/farmers (bounty).

Honestly posting off topic has turned a big challenge here  in the forum as many members just come to spam the forum I guess maybe they don't read the rules because many of us here are beginners so deleting post that are off topic will be a good move thanks for this great and motivating idea.
