# Inclusive DT selection system

I think OP ought to exercise his self-moderation powers on your post, since you don't seem to have read or understood what other members have already written.

Yeah maybe it looks like repetitive there.But i beleive recent DT selection process is inclusive enough. Where previous one was centralized and new one is decentralized. We are able to put our vote to elect our favourite member

Most of innnovations of the forum during the last 12 months have been mentioned above.
Therefore, I don't repeat them all here.
For me, I found two innovations:
1. The cost of Copper Membership will raise considerably
- Higher fee will help reducing Copper Spambies.
- Additional payment gate added, in Grincoin, and the rate will be changed and set manually by theymos. The innovation mentioned in previous post, but the post did not mention about the manual set-up rate in Grincoin.
Current rate:

- At BTC rate:

Code:

0.00675676 BTC

Full details are there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote
- At Grin rate:

Code:

2.252253333 grin

Full guide is there:
DO NOT POST SESC LINKS

2. [New Feature] "Last edit" to be shown as text on mobile. FIXED! 10x Theymos:)
There are difference to see editing time on mobile devices and desktop computers/ laptops.
For the later ones, readers will see editing time when they move their computer mouses to the publishing time.
The new feature is much helpful to detect scam efforts when there is lack of archive sometime.

- 1 Merit rule to Rank up

You forgot two things:
- A wave of demotion aimed at Junior Members in September last year (2018).
- A new structure of Trust system.

That wave of demotion is exactly what Lafu mentioned above. It was the 1-merit rule. In addition, the trust system changes have been mentioned by TalkStar:

There has also been innovations in the forum interface, a MORE option was added to compile helpful links and support and make it easier to access for the community. It contains three links now:
Buy a copper membership
Support for hacked/lost accounts
About donations
I predict more helpful links will be added as time goes.

Bottom line, I think everyone should take a step back and appreciate the forum is trying to push forward, adapt and grow in a way that doesn't make it self implode.

I must say, the forum is growing very fast and the innovations are been appreciated by those who truly understands the uses of those additional features. Guessing theymos next option now is to look into enabling self-moderated thread on meta and giving us an official guidelines to leaving trust feedbacks. These are the two hottest topics right now and doing justice to them will go a long way.
I must say the implementation of the merit system has the highest impact on forum (from my view) and that's my fav of all the innovations and my least is the minor selfmod enhancement. (although it's too early to judge so I'll give it sometime)

I think Theymos did a great job by adding the merit and new DT system. It might not be perfect and some things will probably be adjusted but it feels a lot more decentralized and community driven. All the current DT/DT2 'issues' will work themselves out eventually.

OK, the 24-hour limit is now in place in the sections that people mentioned.

I've made a video of the bots bumping : refreshing the Ann thread every 2-3 seconds old posts get deleted new posts appearing nonstop :

I think this rule he is referring to is not on the Altcoin board, but in Services and Bounties (Altcoins) board.

Once you made a comment there, you cannot delete it for the next 24hours, to prevent bump.

Some users were bumping the thread and deleting old bumps..

Well, it would be nice if Bitcoin Discussion could be reclaimed too.

Yep, and we've discussed this before and never could find a solution that didn't include Theymos hiring more mods who'd be more aggressive in deleting shitposts, which would be a difficult job anyway even if mods were added. The garbage comes in at a rate such that you'd need mods working around the clock to monitor all the new posts for quality. Either that or by implementing some serious sig campaign reform.

This past year was kind of crazy in terms of new things being done here. I'm hoping the insane trolling dies down in Meta and that the numbskulls learn that they have to obey local rules regardless of what section it is. A better solution would be to allow self-moderated threads in Meta, because it's way too easy for a single troll to derail what would otherwise be a productive thread. How many times have we seen that in the past month? I haven't read any reasons why members shouldn't have the option to moderate their own threads in Meta.

Yeah forum is trying to push forward and its growing fast. But its really annoying when we see some common faces trolling everywhere. Its true that no one wants to get tagged but we can't let anyone to do scam or inspiring others. I think DT members are not feeling so good to tag someone. They do this to keep the forum scam free.

Basically its a common habit for some human that they ignore to accept their mistakes. Everytime they do mistakes and think its fare. Thats the reason why they are making meaningless arguments everytime.

Forgetting all these we got many new improvements..

There are many more small changes and innovations, that If you put together you actually see how much work was done by theymos just for this one year:
Here are those I remember:

- new report history stats accessed after 300 good reports
- hompgraphs are converted automatically to Latin, so plagiarism cannot be missed.
- captcha fix for logging using tor( bypassing)
- no signatures in the Ivory tower and serious discussion
- forum segwit support
- some new data dupms
- some new moderators
- "last edit" for mobile devices
- the 24hour-no-delete rule in the Altcoin section

... I'm probably missing some other ones but those are enough

I suspect that some of the problems have been caused by the current state of the crypto market. Sideways movements are not very exciting. There have been a lot of innovations in the market, and the Brave browser is one that interests me. I suspect there will be a bit more activity and price movement in the not too distant future, and that could cause an increase in "real" posting. Another side effect is the reduction in the earnings potential from signature spamming, and hopefully that will continue to decline.

It has to be said that for all the bitching in Meta and shitposting in altcoins and penny scamming in digital goods, life goes on in the boards that actually matter, like Development & Technical Discussion or the more "upscale" parts of Marketplace. Well, it would be nice if Bitcoin Discussion could be reclaimed too.

It's almost as if the forum has split in two parts, with the garbage part serving as a self-imposed newbie jail, minus the few smart newbies on the tech boards.
