Topic: Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements - page 16. (Read 41495 times)

I fully support the changes you've made, and think that t has been a bit overdue (lol, spoken as a Newbie hehehe).
I have been on the Bitcointalk forums for a while now, but rarely posted anything because I thought I didnt have anything constructive or informative to say regarding certain topics (it was probably covered by a more senior member account or some information people could find on Discord or just plain googling), and I'm really really against posting something in the likes of:
"nice project, going places, will watch closely etc. etc.",
as that kind of post has nothing to say, nothing informative or constructive about it, and made just so you have a higher post count and activity count.
I am happy to pay for a Copper Membership, as I have used the forums for information and education for nearly a year now as a member, and a few years as a guest, and can say the fee is symbolic (in my point of view) and such a small price to pay for what I get from the forums; Also, very much deserved by the admins and moderators of the forums.
Again, I fully support this change and am looking forward to earning my right to post and take part in this amazing community that we are

Thats realy good News about !

Thanks for that , hopefully this will be reduce a little the Spam !  

But i guess a lot of Crying Babies coming now and want a pacifier !  LOL  

Realy awesome work theymos , and there is now more hope for a clean  Forum !

Without a doubt I agree in some point that getting merits even though you are making good quality post is too hard for the most of us here. In my opinion, there are reasons why a certain person doesn't receive any merits because:

1. He is not that famous here in the forum, I mean based on what I observed on this forum, most of the members that gets merits are those who have higher reputation in this forum, well I guess that can't be help since they are really making good quality post, but I think getting merits depends on how much we appreciated that certain person, if we know that he is making good quality post, let's say for example we read someone's post but his name is not familiar to us yet the quality is good, we will have a second thought if we are going to give him a merit, unlike when we are in the situation that we see a post from a very famous people here, and automatically we give them merits without hesitating.

2. His post has always been buried in the previous thread because of the spamming post made by the shit posters, making it hard to be find.
3. Most of the merited posts are in this thread, if I'm not mistaken, I rarely see post on the other threads like Bitcoin Discussion, Economy and Altcoin Discussion that has been merited by someone. I know you'll say that there is a lot of spammers in those threads, but there are some who are making good quality post too.

Again, this is just my opinion.

Day by day bitcointalk.org Forum becoming more stable and secure... For extra flexibility, security forum admin changes its rules... Such kind of rule is Merit system. Merit system reduces the scamming activities, more scammers involve themselves in unfit garbages Post which make forum badly.By newbie restrictions and requirements rule by theymos will reduce scamming, cheating. As a result forum will be more stable, secure and safety. I deeply support this moderation.. I salute the perfect man '' Theymos"".

The new policy is really good, it helps reduce spam and has many quality posts

I read that one member was working during 6 months on a signature bounty for nothing (he now must beg for his job being considered).

P.S. I copied all of the signatures and personal texts before wiping them from the demoted users. If bounty managers need info about this, send me a PM like "Please send me a list of all demoted users who had '_______' in their signature".

"Bla-bla", this is an abbreviation so that there is no wall of text. Nothing personal


Datum is a good project. Keeps on the market at this difficult time and the team is actively working

Sorry for the bla-bla.

Datum - interesting, I invested in their ico, sold already, anyway.

When you come to another country, a good habit is that you live by the rules of that country.
When you come to the forum, it is very good to live in the ecosystem of this forum.
What is the problem, man?)

The forum was not built around the bounty and signatures. Moreover, the main idea and the core of the forum revolves around bitcoin, not alts and shit-ico.
Can you set the right priorities?

The ability to read from you was not taken away. Do not like the forum, the Internet is full of them, but a little smaller in size, but you'll find something that you like
