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:#dabbyfinance



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

Oh yes, I can only agree with you...
In the last 24 hours I alone have probably already registered about 50 posts for deletion...

You should really intervene, otherwise it could give a bad picture for your project!

The rules apply only to this board or across all boards?
These rules apply to every single board out there but it's not the complete list...
- Here are the "other missing rules [up to date]" from this thread [outdated].

I asked because some moderators are not "tolerant" in some sections.
To an extent, it could be subjective:

23. When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules.[e]
~Snipped~
23. This rule is meant to prevent users from exploiting possible loopholes in the rules or some interpretations that follow the literal meaning of the rule rather than the meaning of what it truly wanted to prevent.

Still having issues with number 1 and 5
Can you elaborate more?
For #1, refer to the following quotes:

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.

If it's off-topic it may be deleted (depending on the on/off-topicness of the rest of the post), if it's clear they are lying it may be considered trolling, and trolls can get banned, although it's not easy to get banned for trolling.
I'll keep linking this until people stop using the "free speech" excuse:

For #5, read to the following rules from "Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ":

10. No embedded NSFW images anywhere. NSFW content must be marked accordingly.

31. User avatars must not contain NSFL or NSFW content, infringe on copyright or attempt to impersonate a user.[10]

Thanks for this piece of information
It would really go a long way in making users of this platform adhere and know what to do at the right time.
Still having issues with number 1 and 5
Can you elaborate more?

What issues do you have with 1 and 5?

1 says that you are free to say whatever you want unless you swear and/or WRITE CAPITAL.
5 says that you must not post naked images that are unsafe for work.

Hello Guys,

I'm newbie here. Please help with my issue. How we can add our avatar?

Thanx in advance.


Welcome!

To answer your question:

Why can't I change my avatar?

You need to be a Full Member and up to be able to have an avatar.

Full member = (9 X 14 = 126  --- Full Member (4.5 month)

You can find more info here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-forum-activity-account-ranks-and-merit-2766177

Yes....

4.5 months minimum to earn the requisite minimum 120 activity points to be eligible to become full member, if any newbie member stays active with on average of about 1 post per day, and if that member also earns 100 merits during such time.

It may take many newbie members longer than 4.5 months to earn 100 merits, because it takes a while for other members to get to know such newbie members, and members will tend to merit more quality and contributory posts and sometimes will not send merits until they have seen a few good posts from newbie members... and sometimes if new members engage with other members about the topic of their post, those responsive posts are helpful and the posts are largely adding value to the thread or at least to some members who are paying attention, then the newbie member become more likely to earn merits from the attention that they had gotten from other members.

Probably, to earn merits, frequently it will help if newbie members are actually interested in the topics about which they post. Of course, having interest in the topic is not a pre-requisite, but frequently if such newbie member is interested in the topic, then they are more likely to provide value that is based on their knowledge, experience and/or excitement that might be useful to some other members, which could possibly inspire some members to send the newbie member some smerits.

P.s.  By the way, I personally tend to get turned off by any member (whether newbie or not) who refers to himself/herself in the royal "we."  Perhaps it is a pet peeve of my own in terms of not inspiring me to want to send any smerits to such a poster who uses that style of posting, even if s/he or it considers himself/herself or itself as part of a team... .. Of course, there could be exceptions of accounts that are really considered accounts of an organization rather than a person, and maybe that would be in the description of the account being an organizational account, but that just seems a bit strange to me in terms of effective ways to interact with an account in this forum and miachang's use of we:  "How we can add our avatar?"... could have been just a language/culture issue, but still kind of triggers me, personally, in a negative way.

how can I get merit?
- TMAN'S guide to getting merit
- Guide to earning merits

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
 - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
 - Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.

Do not beg for merit excessively.
