Tiberius vision is a huge blockchain project, trust management is about transparency, and what blockchain can offer us. And the platform will be decentralized too, the project is really in the spirit of the blockchain, and its pretty huge, especially for a disruptive concept like genesi vision.

There are other management platforms, but they are intended for the classic stock market. All of them have brokers and have a high cost. In addition, none of them can give a guarantee of protection to investors and traders. Membrama is a platform on the blockchain, where the key component is a function of a documented trust. You don't need to trust your money to a little-known broker with doubtful reliability. With Membrana you can invest your money and be safe from scam.

Besides the Project contents itself I find the Project roadmap very visual.

I also find it a big + that they include the private testing and open testing of Membrana in the roadmap.

I am quite confused in reporting prashadraj205000. Most of his posts are from a website named coindelite, I presume that he may be a paid promotional poster for the website,though he mentions only in some of his posts. Also some of his posts are plagiarized from medium and other news related sites. So should he be banned or given a chance by deleting his plagiarism posts?

A post of his, which are being plagiarized from news related sites. Most of his posts have been given proper reference to coindelite site rather a few.

It was recently revealed that hackers have found yet another way to mine cryptocurrencies. Reportedly, they are employing fake Adobe Flash updates to install cryptocurrency mining malware on networks and user’s computers. This results in severe losses, a significant drop in system performance and increased electricity bills for the affected users.

While Adobe Flash has long been a popular method for pushing malware onto computers. It used to be easy to identify. Hackers have since come up with innovations that allow them to silently download cryptocurrency miners on Windows computers.

Are mods checking for when spam in a thread would become to much to lock it or delete it? Or would it help to also crowdsource that kind of reporting?

Most of the threads generating insane amount of spam are being deleted or locked up if we report them. These kinds of mega spam threads are common in Alt Discussion. Mods would be quite busy in the Alt Discussion, they might have more work apart from locking and deleting a thread as the board is a hotbed for Referral Code Spams, Scams and Phishing Sites.

Hence, it would be better if we report the mega spam thread rather than waiting for MOD to lock them.

Quote from: alani123 on November 10, 2018, 06:51:59 AM

The OPs of the thread and the projects being promoted? Why should the rest of the thread remain up if it is generating so many pages of spam in a day.

You can better check that up by joining the SpamBusters Club. They discuss these sorts of issues quite often.

I have another question:

If a thread is obviously filled with low effort responses, many of which are plagiarized, then I think it would be safe to assume that much of this spam is done for promotional purposes. Those are obviously against the rules, as incentivized posting in a specific thread is not allowed.

Are mods checking for when spam in a thread would become to much to lock it or delete it? Or would it help to also crowdsource that kind of reporting?

Right now I see most of the accounts reported here banned, often in the same day... Which is good. But what about those that actually paid for the spamming? The OPs of the thread and the projects being promoted? Why should the rest of the thread remain up if it is generating so many pages of spam in a day.

Yeah, I just caught him plagiarizing another one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5066518.0;topicseen, which is straight from this article.

Amazes me that people think this is OK and that they're not going to get caught. It's unfortunate because the one I found had some pretty interesting info in it, and Mister99 could have done what Hydrogen does, which is to quote the article with a citation and then provide a little discussion-opener on it.

Bitcointalk really, really needs some sort of style guide, like an MLA Handbook specifically for bitcointalk--not necessarily as a standard of how to write posts, but at least a set of guidelines for citing sources when quoting material that's not your own. Right now it's a hellish mixture of opinions as far as what constitutes proper citation and what constitutes plagiarism.

Thanks for checking it out, and that was my opinion on it from the beginning. I'm not surprised at all that I came across something copy/pasted (that's happened many times before), but I'm disappointed that had that been the bitcointalk member's original work, it would have been worthy of merit and it would have been a pleasure to give merit to a Newbie. As I've said before, it's really sad that you have to check for plagiarism before giving merits to lower-ranked members.

Quote from: alani123 on November 09, 2018, 11:09:06 AM

So long as the biggest part of what a user writes is original, I wouldn't consider including some text from another source a bad thing.
Judged by academic standards, it would be considered plagiarism and unethical if the source wasn't disclosed though. or even if the source wasn't cited correctly.

Eh, I don't completely agree with that. If you're copying words from another site, you should cite the source and ideally should provide a link for the reader to verify it.

It certainly isn't cited properly, and I'm convinced it should be enough to get him banned.

I think that the forum equivalent of critically unethical plagiarism would be disguising someone else's text as your own orignal forum post, where in fact most of the content is unoriginal. And this is the case here! If you look at frozen2017's post history, it's full of articles pasted often 1:1, with just slightly different formatting on occasion.

It's awfully helpful to check a large number of accounts and see whether they're already banned. It saves a lot of time and energy, just don't know why theymos hasn't added this feature to the forum already.

I recently made a couple of posts here including a few accounts that had plagiarized posts.

Even though I see the posts of others after me led to bans, accounts I posted about don't appear in the modlog.
I'm wondering if I did something wrong or anything I could improve?

Also, banned users don't have any indication in their profiles. Maybe those users I reported were already banned?
And since there isn't a full list of banned accounts, maybe the ones I reported were already banned?

Is there any way to check if an account has been posted about here already at least? Displaying the thread in the print to search is already impossible as the thread has become too big to be within the limit for display.
I was thinking, if the profile link of the offending user could be included in posts here as plaintext, it would be searchable via google and within the forum's search. So this way it'd be easier to search here to avoid reporting banned accounts.

A better solution of course would be to either have a public list of all the banned accounts (theymos could help provide one manually for now at least)
AND/OR
Change the forum's software to include a public tag in every banned user's profile.
