Topic: Forum moderation policy - page 29. (Read 973854 times)

It's not a bad idea to remove junk and spam messages. But I would like to know about how post quality is determined and I would be glad to hear about all the factors that makes our post spam.

Me to. We don't need NSFW content in this forum. Whithout that content this forum chat is still running. And its more safe for kids.

Intervening when people are generally being unloving to each other is always a good moderation policy. Violent and angry communication will never lead to a clear assessment of any topic so why encourage it to begin with.   +1

I recently heard that if your company make fault or weekly maximum for comments, for example in my campaign it is 35 comments max per week, it's better to not stay exactly 35 to make as much money as it possible, if you hit the maximum you gonna have negative trust, so better to stay like 30 or even less to not be banned.

It's better if a member who started the topic locks it rather than a moderator. This will avoid restrictive moderation policy and will ensure free speech at all time. a moderator can then encourage such voluntary locking as and when required

I very well could have, but since I just joined the forum...I wanted to make my first post. Had to do it sometime so why not ask a stupid question. It seems others do it. Also, others ask nonstupid questions that a google search will provide answers for.

Not Suitable For Work. Couldn't you have just taken a couple of seconds to google this? Will make you look a lot less like a newbie with a stupid question.

Okay, I know I'm a newbie here in these forums but that's okay. My first question and perhaps it is a stupid one...what exactly does "NSFW content" mean? Thanks.

people only respect people when they are doing what they want, if they are getting moderated, then the respect stops, it will always be that way

Please respect the moderators. Their job is to keep the forum safe and constructive so that everybody gets to have his or her fair say. God Bless everyone!

I see this guidelines as fair and should be followed.I just want to ask what does NSFW content in the section number 5 mean, i cannot grasp its meaning hope you enlighten me please.

thanK you for that information. It is indeed a fact that many would like to hack accounts due to the daily earnings here in bitcointalk. But this kind of phishing is deceiving since it camouflaged as a support. This information is appreciated to combat account thieves.

I agree with majority of the guidelines except Guideline #3 which is no pointless or uninteresting threads since it is very subjective because what might be interesting to and to other people might not be interesting to you and what might be interesting to you and to other people might be pointless for me so I guess and suggest that we must be clear with this one so there will be no gray area

Nice guidelines but I just have one question:

How do we evaluate a thread that is "uninteresting"?
I think there is no standard to it. Because interest relies on the person reading it.

You can't have an avatar until you become a Full Member. You can post images once you're a Jnr Member. See the stickies in Meta for details on user ranks.

I cant even figure out how to get my photo / avitar onto a page can someone email me a link?

Phishing proof... from Kraken
 "We know that some of you have accounts on bitcointalk.org and we wanted to let you know that a phishing attempt was made on bitcointalk email addresses earlier today.

If you received an email with the subject Mtgox.Claim assessment process, delete it and do not click on the link it contains! This email did not come from Kraken, but was spoofed to look as though it came from our support email ([email protected]).

For more information about the email, see this post on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4m3op0/psa_phishing_attempts_reported_today_kraken_re/

We do not know how the bitcointalk email addresses were obtained, however the bitcointalk database has been compromised in the past. You can be assured that this incident was not the result of any breach in Kraken’s database and your personal information with Kraken is safe.

Even if you did receive the email, you are safe so long as you do not click on the link (just delete the email and you will be fine). If you did click on the link and are concerned about it, please contact us at: [email protected]."

what do you mean by this statement, do you have BTC? if so, how many and where do you keep them?  did you like the Nazi's? you mentioned gestapo....i was just playing with you and i realize it is a pretty useless reply, but sometimes you gotta loosen up a bit.

there are way too many threads on here to really stick them all in one category of "probing" or "scamming" or "phishing"

sometimes i hit the forum here just to read about the tech and what people are doing with the same code to produce new effects.


think about the original satoshi code, nothing in that set of scripts was new or is new, crypt hashes and cracking them, network protocols sending to multiple "servers", storing the full data in the stream and on all servers was a little new, but much like the way that the cell carriers first started moving sms and email data....all mundane boring bits of code that had been used for years, combined with the virtual currency thing, which never caught on with the social sites other than within the site itself, mix it all together and it created a brand new completely self-contained, self-reliant and even self-updating of sorts system of security and currency creation and exchange. 

and now, look what people have done with that original concept and code, new forms of crytpo, new algorithms forms and a brand new way of doing business that will one be the main form of currency whether each person likes it or not, all from a handful of separate boring code libraries

i even think some of these altcoin/community based currencies have breached new forms of self-enhancing commerce, where bitcoin was and is a pretty straight forward, value based commodity for open trade.

it is like looking at the world and only seeing the bad stuff, this forum has some pretty annoying people, pretty useless and annoying threads and some downright evil people straight up using it to steal from others, but there are also new concepts that would have never been found if not for the thinktank conversations that a forum of this size and nature can produce., just saying

I used to post on this forum... now it's too heavy handed.
What is with all the threads asking questions. It's like some kind of phishing scheme. No other forums have nearly this many probing threads.
Have fun with your gestopo... off to a better experience
