Topic: Question about forum moderation - page 4. (Read 3306 times)

Indeed quite some people here have been suggesting to remove the whole altcoin section in the past, IIRC.

According that statement, the Altcoin section should not be present in that forum...

Imho, developing the altcoin section will benefit that forum, cause Bitcoin and altcoins are connected. Conflict BTC vs. Altcoins is not the path we want to follow.

This site is "bitcointalk.org", not "insertaltcoinheretalk.org". I'm working on a solution for communications regarding alternative coins, but it's not done yet.

Well, as our dedicated language "corner" is a single topic, it is not quite amazing that is is undeveloped. A lot of the Cryptocoin enthusiasts in our country do not speak very well english. Therefore, they have to jump into alternative forums due to the lack of understandable information or rely to friends to help with translation. I hope you agree, that the current format (single topic) is quite uncomfortable not only for us, but for the other "single-topic" language users.


I don't have the impression that the other translations are "pro bono" Anyway, if the dev of the coin agrees to pay for that translation, I don't see a reason that deal to be interfered by any form of authority.

Imho, it is a discriminative to restrict any translation just because the forum administration consider a language as "irrelevant". And "irrelevant" because the users of that language haven't been given with equal to other languages conditions to develop their language section. If the translation has been placed in wrong section, it is totally agreable to be deleted. BUT... there is no section, where these translations are allowed. This is a kind of Catch 22.

All this inequality is not in a benefit of the crypto community and definately does not help for the popularisation of the ideas behind the crypto currencies. Well, at least by this forum.



Altcoins exist and their market share is growing. So dedicating a space for them will decrase the spam in the BTC sections.

This is the only real solution, using the only Bulgarian thread here on a Bitcoin forum to promote altcoins is not reasonable, but then again neither is cluttering up Other with a ton of threads for alt coin translations for a ton of different languages (many will do it for the bounties, even if not you or the OP). It's still a Bitcoin forum. Bulgarian thread only has 9 pages since it's conception in 2012, so probably not worth it for that. Some of the countries you mentioned already have dedicated sections as well. There may be a better solution we haven't thought of yet.


That doesn't change anything, you may not be the translate for bounties spammer type, but others are.


Because they have an altcoin section within their respective forums already.  

We aren't trying to limit anyone from talking about an altcoin, we're trying to limit the altcoin spam in Bitcoin sections. Look at the big picture instead of rushing to play the martyr. If we let you promote altcoins in the Bulgarian thread, then there will be many others who do it as well since they'll be getting paid for it. Same for posting in Other or English Alt Currencies, except 20 times as worse.

We have subforums for altcoin discussion.

Other languages/locations board should be used for Bitcoin discussion only, as you said this is Bitcointalk forum.

Well, in that case, on behalf of the Bulgarian comunity in that forum, we would like to have a dedicated section.

If the forum administration consider that as inapropriate due to a low count of members, then a Slavik languages section could serve the Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Croatian, Check, Polish, Slovenian, Slovakian, Macedonian, Montenegrian, Ukrainian, Belorussian members of the forum. And of course, it would be appropriate to create a sub-section for every language plus a moderator crew, having a clue of these languages.

The comunity from the aforementioned countries is quite bigger than the e.g. Portuguese speaking one (Portugal, Brasil, Mozambique, Angola, Macao, Goa), the Hebrew speaking one, the Greek one etc.

Consider this message as an official request.

Satisfied Mr Moderator who hates cyrillic letters?

All the best. Moderate to live.

So.
No post, no problem
This is simply nazi-way of solving the problem.

Where can I post about a new coin, here is these forums?
Are you saying, that for Bulgarians, posting about new coins is prohibited, because we are Bulgarian?
Why are you NOT deleting post about new coins from Russian?
From Greeks? From Turkish? From Romanians?
Are you implying that these are BETTER and so they are allowed "to spam" ?

I have no problem posting on different forum. But I want to post here, in Bitcointalk forum

Please clarify if moderators of Bitcointalk forum prohibit Bulgarians about talking for new coins?

Ah, you don't even care about the coin, you just want to collect the bounty for translating it. Yeah, definitely spam, knock it off, and stop reposting deleted messages.

If there's only one Bulgarian thread you shouldn't be cluttering it up with altcoin content.

Is there a place where one can ask for moderation of a moderator?
Recently a new assigned moderator is deleting posts written in the only bulgarian thread in the forum claiming they are offtopic
So far this moderator never wrote anything in bulgarian, it seems he is deleting posts only because they are in cyrillic.

It seems there is no place where bulgarian can write and post about new coins in this forum. If we post in the ONLY bulgarian thread, a moderator who has NO knowledge of the language, deletes our posts.
Should we troll in the russian or serbian forum then?
Or Bitcointalk forum has special (ethnic based) treatment for bulgarians?
