Topic: Forum moderation policy - page 22. (Read 991908 times)

I don't think there is one. What words or abbreviations are you confused about? I'm sure somebody could help you out or write one up if there's demand but I don't recall seeing many native to here so a quick google search may be all that's needed.

Can you please refer me to thread that spell out all the short words or abbreviation that is regular used at bitcointalk post?

We all know that thousands of posts are being uploaded every second and then it becomes a difficult job for the moderator to cope up with the situation well.

I think the best policy that  is worth following in this case includes the consideration of following contents as inappropriate one such as personal information regarding any one, use of foul language and uploading the content that is highly sensitive such as  link for any website or so. The moderator can do his job in the best way only showing the content related to the topic and avoiding all other.

No, you're right, they are posting shit but probably not because they know the thread won't get deleted. A lot of them will be using bots so maybe it just chooses the top thread and a lot of them are just copying posts from earlier in the thread as well. I nuke both instances.

Does anyone else get the feeling that a lot of noob shitposters--probably account farmers as well--are posting garbage in these stickied threads?  I'm thinking they've learned that their posts get deleted in the spam threads when the whole thread gets nuked, so they're posting on ones they know aren't going to be.  Or maybe that's just my cynicism and paranoia speaking here.  Still, I think the theory has some validity.   I've recently reported a few zero value posts from stickied threads. 

Look all the stickies especially in Meta board and also Unofficial rules. And as you have limit in searching, you can use external services like Google, just use site:bitcointalk.org after the word/line you want to search, eg: Unofficial rules site:bitcointalk.org

When there are several posts every second - how the moderator will manage to review if post is meaningful enough and well written?

What about low content posts with the code in the signature

Referral spam, yes. No need to have to make however yet another subject about a service just to encourage your referral link.

how do we outline spamming or flaming...

An easier solution is that you take English classes or find an English speaker and spend as much time with them as humanly possibly so your "sense" isn't complete nonsense and also has SUBSTANCE.

Okay in that case they should regulate it and stop them from requiring members to post in the forum so that everyone is free to join

Then those threads are breaking the rules and if spotted or reported will be trashcanned.

Well some Token require to have forum post of each member who wants to join a specific token. If they delete it nobody will meet the requirements.

Why don't you read the rules and the sticky in the bounty section? They're being deleted for being utterly pointless spam:


Those sorts of posts serve no purpose at all other than people trying to rank up their accounts.

Almost all of my comments are being deleted by a random Mod I don't know why.

My comments are just like

Thank you for the airdrop!

I will support the token , success.

Something like that, why is that being delete?

I heard something wrong is going on with the current threads being escalated here and there.
Is this thing stiill going to continue or we should wait for its clean-action?

I have reported several topics that have been deleted.  This is not an issue of free speech.  This is an issue about speaking the language of the forum at hand well enough to make a point that is of legitimate substance.  Too many on this forum cannot do this even with Google translate helping them.  In other words if you post nonsense moderators will delete it or other members will report it to be deleted via the discretion of moderators.


Example...even though your sentence technically properly formed in English, it is nonsense.  It registers in the mind as if I was to type asdfjk;/ asdfjkl'; asdfjk; asdfjk;l;/ asdfjkl;.  Most that know how to type can figure out where I get the pattern too.  Just because they can understand it doesn't make it any less irrelevant to any given topic unless someone is asking for typing patterns.

I don't think the moderators want a forum here called "Look at me!  I can write in (barely) comprehensible complete English sentences!!"

But that is all most of so many people on this forum are doing.  Nonsense aka shitposts are pushing users of this forum to crack down on it once it really spirals out of control.  I live in a country where people who barely speak English ask me about doing BTC campaigns.  I tell them "NO!" since I know where they will end up spewing nonsense.  Enough is enough.

controlling topics of quality discussion is a good thing, anything that is not desirable in the post should be removed in order to reduce the accumulation of a discussion that does not get a response from members of the btc forum. so the window of discussion is not so dense with the title of discussion that is not desirable.

not safe for work like any nudity or violence.  kind of vague, wish they can elaborate on it so there's no misunderstanding.  forums definition across the web are subjective to what is nsfw and what is not nsfw.  but to be safe, don't post anything you wouldn't want your kid should not read or see.
