The problem here is because you're expecting people to value quality over quantity in the forum. For the vast majority of signature spammers, they probably just hit the quote button, think up some bullshit from their stream of consciousness which then spills into their fingers, and hit submit.

How many users do you think have the "new post warning" unchecked? I can bet that a large number of the ones who do are the users who are going to have their names on the "last posted" spot in consecutive threads on one of the spam boards.
Undeniably what you say, it's so true, spammers never care about the quality of their posts, all they need is to increase the number of posts. Their posts may be long, but it's pointless  Roll Eyes
About "new post warning", I've used it before, but right now I've dropped it, to be honest, I don't know when I dropped it, but maybe I should turn it back on now, in part, it's good for us  Wink At the very least, we don't need to edit our posts too many times to reply to those above  Cheesy

Ironic post: gave me a good chuckle.

I had made this mistake several times and noticed it just after publishing post. Offcourse, then I edited my post immediately.
I use preview function sometimes, mostly when making quotes, especially when making multiple quotes. Quoting on mobile is headache, especially when I want to snip quotes and remove irrelevant parts of texts. Sometimes I leave not needed quote tags or remove it when I don't have to do it. So, preview button is helpful in such cases.
It also helps when you want to post other content like images, tables and etc. For example when I post image, I click preview to see, is it displayed properly or do I need to resize it.
Of course it is useful, not a feature of this forum is not useful at all. It is this usefulness that is why it exists until now without being modified. However, not everyone uses the useful features of this forum, many don't even know how to use the citations feature (I saw an article asking about it before)  Roll Eyes Images are what we need to use the preview feature most, because many images may be corrupted and not displayed. Anyway, this is a great feature, I hope everyone to use it to have the perfect post.

but even if you don't use the preview feature I'm sure you will see your actual post after you posted it, by that you can edit your posts if anything's something wrong.
If I somehow made a mistake though, I immediately see the error. Not sure about those dudes in your samples.
it's probably just a mistake and forgot or too lazy to fix.
...if you actually care about what you have posted, the only way I see this error from happening is from people after writing their posts will just hit the "Post" button and do other things in the internet after that. This is their mistake on not caring about what they have posted and not reviewing it afterwards.
Well, even if I don't use the "Preview" feature if somehow when I posted it I found it wrong then I fix that the moment I see it he must have seen that the moment he posted his reply or he is really that lazy that he slips it away. One thing if he wants to reply on a post especially on the intended user above as per the example I would have clicked the "quote" instead so that he may not have to get that mistake.
It is exactly what I mean. They are not responsible for what they write, they don't care if it's wrong. I'm not referring to the guy in the picture, but I'm talking about many people in this forum who are participating in signature campaigns. Some people never care about what they write, they don't care about errors, they just post-to-earn  Angry This is just a typical example, I see a lot of people go into a certain article and say nonsense that is not related to the problem discussed above, it makes me feel uncomfortable. So recently, I reported more articles and had a fairly high accuracy rate  Cheesy

Now I use the Preview button probably more than 5 times for every single post. I want them to look as close to perfection as possible.
It is also a good habit for our writing to be perfect, me too, so sometimes I spend a lot of time writing  Roll Eyes

Anyways, I think that's a minor issue and a pm and quoting his reply will do as well on that topic he may come back on it again if he's been informed.

I use previews depending on how much time I have online during that session. If I happen to be battling with poor network or some other inconvenience I would likely be in too much of a haste to use it. And would also likely not view the post after it is published as it would take too long for the page to load. Only happens a few times however. A large percent of my posts would come out fine even without the preview feature barring typographical errors.

I honestly committed this mistake several times already and although I don't use the "preview" button often I always try to look at the post I made after it has been published so that I can edit grammar errors as well as incorrect quoted messages like the ones in your example. I believe that the rank has nothing to do with it but it is more related in your posting habit and if you actually care about what you have posted, the only way I see this error from happening is from people after writing their posts will just hit the "Post" button and do other things in the internet after that. This is their mistake on not caring about what they have posted and not reviewing it afterwards.

I mostly see this misquotes on newbies but rarely on high ranking members. it's probably just a mistake and forgot or too lazy to fix. it happens to me from time to time but I always fix it. also, I agree with bL4nkcode, a simple PM can probably fix the problem.

When I first started using BTCTalk, these kind of mistakes happened pretty often. I didn't know shit about BB Codes and the code for reply quotes looked like rocket science to me until I found out how to properly edit a message.

Now I use the Preview button probably more than 5 times for every single post. I want them to look as close to perfection as possible.

Laziness I guess? Quite rare, but once in a while I make similar mistakes like having misquotes and missing closing tags and such, without even using preview(unless I'm making a long-ass topic with tables and such). I'm personally just confident enough that I'm not going to make such mistakes to not do a preview. If I somehow made a mistake though, I immediately see the error. Not sure about those dudes in your samples.

I always use preview button to check my posts, this is something completely normal for me. I don't think forum users do not know "how to use it", but some probably consider it a waste of time.

I have seen examples of posts listed in the OP many times, but I can't say whether it's just hastiness or ignorance that the post is being edited properly. To make the post look right, it had to be edited in the prescribed manner in a way to remove two quote in the middle, so it would look like this :

If it was that easy to crack the passwords, would you think Bitcoin would be so valuable ? Wouldn't everyone would be cracking the passwords and getting hold of bitcoins. Stop dreaming to get the bitcoins by this way. This is old trick to get the password of wallets which never belongs to you.  Angry

I agree however I don't know what happens but this is what I get on cracking the hash wallet.txt on line 1 ($bitco.......61.....) : line length exception.
no hashes loaded.

When you post something here on the forum, you have two buttons, post and preview, so you can easily click on the preview and see how it will be looking for your answer. if you do this you will not post useless post anymore.

Targeted to your topic, first, you need to prove that is critical wallet your and is under your control before any compromised situation.
when you dole it out we can talk about further deinterleaving of the situation.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.
There must be a miss quote from the newbie posts and when quoted by someone same thing happened to their post, but even if you don't use the preview feature I'm sure you will see your actual post after you posted it, by that you can edit your posts if anything's something wrong.

Also, with that post, you can easily pm the user to notify to edit their posts if you mind.

I believe this is not the first time we've seen posts like above. I have seen a lot of posts done negligently, the content they write is in the citations, it creates a completely useless post. Normally, I would not bother and ignore them, until today, I see both such posts on the same topic (above). It may come from a newbie, it will not be a problem because this user is new, he may not be familiar with how to use it. What about the legendary member above? He has been active for 6 years on this forum since the beginning, but look at his post, what the hell is he creating? It may be a minor bug in the post, I mean, people may be confused, but why doesn't he use the preview feature? We have a preview feature here to check our post before we publish it, LOL I bet he didn't use it. And when he published, he didn't even bother with his post, he didn't realize it was in error. A poster is not responsible  Undecided

I just posted this to talk about the preview feature of the forum, how many people use it? how many people care about their posts? There are many such posts on this forum, they only post to be counted for signature campaigns, regardless of the content.
