The policy to not remove anything worked when the forum was small. Now that we have thousands of posts a day, we can't afford 50% of them being junk. The moderators are now instructed to be less tolerant of low-value posts.

Some guidelines:

1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content

I feel like I am addressing crucial historical preservation issues and yet I am facing opposition. I am presenting receipts, data, and information related to the creation of Bitcoin, yet I am being ostracized on the forum.

Why I am offended and offender post is not removed?

My defending answer to his post was removed, but his insults not.

WTF is this?

Why double standards?

where is introduction section ?

We don't have one and there's is need to introduce yourself either. If you have any questions that you need help with when it comes to Bitcoin, you can use the Beginners and help section: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-it-possible-to-create-a-signed-message-with-binance-resolved-5495119

Otherwise, there's the Altcoin discussion or the Service Discussion (altcoins) boards for non-bitcoin-related stuff.

Is offensive included as an impolite word or sentence?

Please what do u mean by referral code?

Type "what is referral code" in Google.

First answer: A referral code is a unique identifier made up of letters and/or numbers that businesses give to customers or users so they can share it with others to receive rewards. Referral codes are usually part of a refer-a-friend program, where customers get rewarded for referring new customers to the business.
https://referralhero.com/blog/referral-code

These type of posts are forbidden in the forum.

For example you can discuss a gambling site but you can't share your referral link in the post. You can use your signature space for that though.

I due appreciate this level of details explanation because it make it more clear for everyone to understand, because for me I felt that many who complained of removal of their post or they received message of their Post been deleted lack understanding of the some rules guiding the forum , because as clear as these statements just as you stated one Falling victim of it I may not considered it as ignorance but intentional act and failure to give attention to detail.

So I think yes, reporting these posts is the way to go and all moderators should delete such content, even of the forum rules are "unofficial", and you are totally correct that these messages can harm the forum (but not if they're removed consistently). Such announcements pop up every now and then in (mostly local) sections. I would report them even if they were related in some way to Bitcoin (e.g. someone selling hacked CEX accounts).

I reported the message to moderators (writing in English this time to underline the "global relevance" of the issue).
It was gone in a few hours. Even if I don't know who materially deleted the posts.
Apparently, it was the right thing to do.
Thanks for the feedback.

In the Italian board appeared a message that is plain illegal:

This case is clearly covered by the following forum rule:

In the Italian board appeared a message that is plain illegal:

Basically the user wanted to see bank accounts, opened by figurehead or fake identities.
This is illegal on so many ways, but this is not the point.
The point is such illegal activity, totally unrelated to bitcoin, can be detrimental to the forum itself.
After some thoughtful considerations, I reported the message to the moderator, and it is now gone.
I don't know which moderator removed it, but apparently reporting it was a good choice.
Any thought about this?

Forum is a very popular site now. This site now has 3-4 thousand posts per day with many people working on it. So now we have so many of their posts well seen by moderators or encourage them to do more. So that they become more motivated in this work, their work will be better. So we should give good instructions in the lower posts.

while doing these things we should also refrain from lower posts and use politeness in every post. So that he can learn a lot from us in the morning. There is no money to invest here, there are no fraudulent opportunities here, we have a lot to learn from here.

Report any kind of incivility here to the moderator) (By doing these things we will get social knowledge and civility among us.

What should we do as new members? Of course, we are sensitive to the forum's policy. We are obliged to abide by the policy. But the policy towards new members should not be too strict. So that they can survive here.

As a new member you must follow the rules of this forum no irrelevant posts can be made. Can't be scanned in any way. You should try to give good quality posts so that the quality of your posts will improve a lot. Try to be active in the forum regularly and try to give good quality posts so that your positivity increases. If you post in a wrong place then surely he will always sit to find the post wrong so try to create good quality post so that your positivity increases.

You make some fair points about netiquette that people should try to follow on forums. But we also wanna let folks speak freely here as much as we can. This place aims to give members room to share views openly and debate stuff. Sure we got some basics in place - cant have anyone harassing others.

We need to strike the right balance between keeping things respectful but not feeling too strict neither. People should feel welcome to say their piece, even forcefully, so long as they dont get personal or nasty. Some arguments gonna happen but we trust members to police themselves mostly. If things go over the line, mods can step in.

would this moderation not deter new members from growing, everyone started small at some point, I hope that the new members would be given more consideration! Undecided

That’s truly great news, except moderators not answering defamation and false acusations, it’s not allowed to just abundant make up information about users or associated users with projects that they simply developed.

Please self—moderate your thread and you can moderate it how you like.

What i notice so far about some users in this forum is: the forum perspectives already gives rooms to users to communicate, discuss, informate on Bitcoin structures and revenue services but why will some users who are already getting too greedy on this site are mostly blasphemy new users.
