Topic: Forum moderation policy - page 28. (Read 1077802 times)
Its hard to move on if you not knowing what happening about spam. now is the time to make changes to the beginner of this bitcoin rules we need to reading searching wisely.
IKR? I am running a personal forum and DAMN these spam guys have way too much time to flood it with irrelevant stuff. Seem like I need to implement the same policy as you guys. You guys are doing a great job Btw. Keep it up.
Controls are good. Please add this to conditions for newbies like me to read as a matter of compulsion.
I hope the forums are moderated a bit more carefully from now onwards. Spammers and those promoting some kind of ads should be banned absolutely.
Haven't seen any ads here at all, so it's safe to say that moderators are maintaining a good job.

Simple solution: ban signatures. No more signatures, no more signature campaigns requiring umpty-five posts per week to get credit.
I suggest you to start with yourself. Why do you have a signature? Take it off and then suggest such action.
Hlw,Bitcoiners 
I do not quite understand the question being asked here. Can you expand a bit upon this?
I knew this was going to come up soon.
It looks as though whoever originally wrote these questions may not have used English as a first language, sorry about that. I would like to see the wording changed but im not sure its possible now.
I think what this one is basically getting at is, does theymos use trolls and moderation to distract people from the big issues facing bitcoin?
I may be wrong but thats what i took it to mean.
I may have posted the link but sorry i didn't write the messages.

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've been a longtime reader and tried to make my first post here, and I thought I wrote it pretty constructively and tried to raise some ideas for debate but sadly it was quickly deleted and I do not know why as it seemed to have been worded to be very relevant to the forum, not sure how I can contribute or be a part of the community if my posts are just deleted. I tried to click here to understand more on guidelines but couldn't see any detail here that would point to my post being taken down...can anyone chime in or help me out please?
nevermind, I figured it out - there's a very helpful sticky thread here:
Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.new#new
My problem was lower on the list where I got a bit excited and re-posted my same post in multiple places! My bad.
Thank you to the moderators for their hard work and keeping the quality.

As a new user of Bitcointalk, I've been very impressed by the attitude of the moderators. I respect their approach of trying to wipe out spam while not being unrealistic by attempting to ban what is hard to stop (e.g. selling accounts), and not blocking anyone's view as long as it constructive and reasonable. This kind of moderation is generally quite hard to find as it's so easy for people on forums like this to become corrupt or authoritarian.

How many minutes, or messages I need to send or spend here in order to increasy my level from newbie to member? is there a list or reference for this at some place here?
I have been a member for a long time and I am still a newb. I don't think rank matters that much here anyhow because only certain people decide what you can say and each one of those members may have hundreds of accounts that they use to manipulate the discussions. You will see that there are people here that it would be best not to disagree with. I don't say much here-I mostly just read. Rank isn't as important as the information that is available here-just beware what you believe because it seems that the higher the rank and trust level the more apt they are to deceit and they work in teams so be careful with your bitcoins if you have any yet. 
I need help I am a new member but don't know how to post
Looks like you figured it out. You need to wait some time after you have logged in, have posted or send a PM. This time will reduce over time.

This may have been answered somewhere between pages 4 and 19 but I stopped at pg. 4. Sorry, but there are many other interesting threads for one to read here.
Regarding referral links: There are a few sites that I use that offer a reward for posting your referral link in their thread, sometimes its just a user name they want you to post. There are thousands of pages wasted to this, 10's of thousands of posts. I am a guilty of contributing to this nonsense but the bonuses offered really make a difference in their games.
My Question: Does the posting of one's referral link to a specific thread in which the sole purpose of that thread's creation was for the posting of one's referral link hurt one's member status, ranking, or overall reputation as a serious member of the community?

If you think about posting a referal link, I will find you and I will delete you.
Why not answer my question instead of threaten. As a staff member I would expect you to at least read my post. Unless you have a bot that tracks down any occurrence of the words "referral" or "link" and then stack them with your super powered staff threats.I never said I was going to create atopic myself. I was asking about the ones that already exist.

If you consider receiving a ban for spam as something that hurts your member status, the answer is yes. You are not allowed to create a thread for ref links. Put it in your signature and be done with it.
