Topic: Proposed guideline changes for new coin ANN (mods please read) (Read 642 times)

Any mods read this ?

There's too much traffic in the altcoin section to shut it down and they all have ads so it's in bitcointalks interest to keep it up.


That's unnecessary, the algo should be right in the ANN threads, some of them are just too lazy to add it..

Even just a separation from the ASIC coins and GPU coins would be nice.

good luck  IMO i think the altcoin section should be shut down, isnt this bitcoin related forum or altcoin dumpster ?

Hey people,

I'm reading a lot of new coin announcements and it is getting seriously worse day by day. You can't find relevant info without scrolling through 2-3-4 pages of people asking to reserve bounties/translations. It would help everyone, including those who seek bounty for translation/sharing/signature campaign if we had a separate subforum just for these kind of things. Those who want translators/social media sharers could easily look up the sub forum and pick their choice without spamming in the main announcement thread. Also those who care about the coins function/innovation/vision only, they can have a pleasant easy to read ANN thread.

All you have to do is open one sub forum for translation, where all new coins would make a separate thread for their own coins, stating what translation they need, how much they pay and so on. Also a second sub forum for altcoin bounties, for everything else (facebook sharing, twitter, signature campaigns, whatever you wish).

This would help everybody, even with only one sub forum for ALL kind of bounties, especially those who seek bounties every day and it is somewhat of a part time job for them.

The punishment for asking bounties/translations in the main ANN thread would be something like: 24h (1st), 48h (2nd), 96h (3rd) and so on, user/IP bans for those who don't follow the guideline. I don't know how to ban people without making thread self-moderated other than mods constantly banning but that would be a very labor heavy job for mods, some kind of community down voting would make that easy (if that's possible here).

Thanks for reading and please make this happen !
