Tried to make a self moderated thread before and it seems to not be allowed on here anymore, was that just a fluke or is there a new rule here?
It would be a welcome new rule if it is one. ...
I’m curious if you mean in terms of just this sub or btalk as a whole. ...

I didn't think about it much.  Given your fairly good points, my answer would be just this sub, or if there are any other kinda deliberately off-topic and which people who think they are 'clever' can try to promote a particular brand of propaganda.

Maybe on some of the 'announce subs it also makes sense for there to be no self-moderation since the announce thread often becomes a rather valuable source of community feedback on the real-world operation of a particular effort.  It would suck for a scammer to get away with scams longer because he moderated out complaints.  But then anyone could start and [service ann]-UNMOD thread for the general community to discuss a service I suppose.  Maybe it happens.  I kinda almost exclusively scan/troll the politics+society one these days for general non-BTC related entertainment since I don't indulge in any other form of social media Smiley

It would be a welcome new rule if it is one.  Normally 'self-moderation' is used by people who have an agenda of some sort and who want to control others so that they don't interfere with the hidden planning and scheming.

More and more people are shocked and chagrined that they cannot just present a particular viewpoint or 'fact' and not have it go unchallenged.  'self-moderation' is the most obvious solution to this 'problem'.

Generally speaking, someone who wants to self-moderate is better off with their own web-site.  Hijacking someone elses' more popular platform and taking full control of a little piece of it (e.g., 'your' thread) is kind of pathetic.



I’m curious if you mean in terms of just this sub or btalk as a whole. Theymos and that Flying Hellfish fellow know what they’re doing in that regard I can assure you. I also can assure you Self Mod topics can be extremely necessary in some boards ( collectibles and general discussion for example ). Some posts aren’t meant for the masses / opinions  ( or more likely sig spamming aimlessly off topic ).   This board is more for open dialogue/opinion than many others, rendering it less needed. IMHO anyhow.

So B1tUnl0ck3r is basically making this forum unreadable.  The majority of threads are started by him, all incoherent and mostly 0 responses.  He also invades most of the rest of the threads with irrelevant anti-semitic rants.

+1 on this.

I've ignored him, but even with that I have to see all of his topics saying that half of the threads in here are ignored.

Is there anything we can do to stop that sort of spam.

As a reader, reading very long trails demotivates me and loses my interest to be honest.

Hey!

As a newbie around here I'll try to do my best on this board  Cheesy

But I'd like to know, should off topicness be reported?
Problem for me is that when going into political debate, if you manage to do something a bit constructive, that should more or less look like a battle of arguments. Each argument being potentially supported or challenged by others... Each of those others by again others...

Like for example on the thread I oppened on the subject of banlifting of weapons possession in Europe, someone answered about the 3d printing of weapons and someone about the American constitution. Each of those arguments could lead to international copyright or internet censorship or electoral systems... While still being LINKED to the topic but by a far far faaaaaaaaaaaaaar extend.

So is off-topic something even possible on the P&S board? Is it something you should report?

Hello FH, first time talking to you so first thanks for your work on the forum.

I've spent a quite long time in P&S cause that's what I love. But I've ran away and I don't think I'm the only one.

Welcome back to the board!  I hope you will feel like joining back in some of the debates going on!

You raise a number of concerns and I agree it can be a challenging environment at times!

In simple terms theymos' vision for the forum is to be "as free as possible".  This philosophy allows all of us to spew our shit on the pages!  What comes along with being allowed to spew any old shit we want, we also have to deal with others spewing any old shit they want.

I assume that this freedom draws in more of the extreme fringes of society as they can say many things here they can't most other places.  Having any kind of engaging audience just gives them more reason to be here!

I agree certain users are here to push an agenda no matter what.  Along with giving us all the ability to spew shit because of theymos' vision he also gave us a couple of tools to use to combat those we feel are not worth our time.  Putting a user on ignore is one such tool and will allow you a bit of freedom from any user you choose!  The other option is to start self moderated threads, this allows you to delete any post you want, for any reason!

I don't personally have anyone on ignore, it's kinda hard to moderate if you can't read posts hehe.  I do have a couple of self mod'd threads and I encourage debate but there are a couple of users that are not welcome in the thread no matter what they write.

I hope this helps and you will join in the debates again!

Hello FH, first time talking to you so first thanks for your work on the forum.

I know you talk about lengthy posts here, but I think it's a bit as talking about a last stage cancer and saying "ok we need to do something about your nosebleed". The nosebleed is a problem but that's definitely not the main problem, it's just a consequence.

Deleting posts CANT be a long term solution. Apart from the huge amount of work for you it justs doesn't affect the rats swarming this place.

I think everyone will agree on the fact that a few people are responsible for maybe 80% of this section pollution and that's why I left. Getting different opinions and sometimes... Bizarre personalities and theories is perfectly fine, especially on this section. For example I don't think there is even one thing in common between my opinions/vision of the world and the one of Spendulus. We disagree on pretty much everything and sometimes the arguments were a bit... hot but never utterly stupid or repetitive.

Problems come with people who are not here to discuss but to vomit their agenda. Do I have to give the names of BADEcker or popcorn1?

And honestly when you get Spendulus, Techshare, Pocorn1 and Badecker on your thread (like this one https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/why-are-some-people-still-skeptical-about-climate-change-4666163 )... Man you gotta be motivated to even continue the discussion...

It's not a question of political agenda, it's just a question of keeping the debate open. It's not possible when you encounter 4 or 5 aggressive trasher at the same time. It just makes people trying to discuss go away. Though I don't have a solution...

Since the mods love to delete my posts that I spend 15-30 minutes researching and typing... I'm done here

I can't believe they let the trolls on this forum like BADecker, Spendulus, TECHSHARE, CoinCube, B1tUnl0ck3r, etc., post whatever the fuck they want... little 1-liner insults... multi-posting... off-topic nonsense all the time

But, if I post information to debunk their bullshit... my posts get deleted... fuck this, I'm out

Enjoy your trolls

Of course your post are awesome and perfect while theirs are trolling.  I don't think I have ever agreed with one of the trolls listed above and they have all accused me of censoring their posts as well.  I have removed MANY MANY posts from the "trolls" above.

You on the other hand have reposted the same thing that IS WAY OT 4 times after I have deleted it and tried to PM you about it, now you have sand in your pussy about it.

Honestly I fucking hate those retards as well but theymos has made it crystal fucking clear they are allowed their opinion just as you are, as long as everyone follows the rules.  I get it you don't like how I apply the rules because I try to apply them evenly and not to suit your benefit I am not perfect and I don't see every fucking post from every fucking user.

TECHSHARE has accused me of being a rapist do you really fucking think I am protecting him beyond the rules I have to enforce....

Sounds a lot like you're a fucking troll as well...
TECHSHARE has accused me of being a rapist   and i believe him Grin.. It was good on here before you come..WHY DON'T YOU GO AWAY?

WHO ARE YOU? Cheesy   no body likes you you are a shit face  Cheesy..

Yes i agree ..I think it's because they tell lies  Wink Cheesy Cheesy..

Cannot seem to except 9/11 was an inside job  Hmm maybe they had moves on the stocks from the inside job information..

Trump warns that Google and other tech giants 'better be .  https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/28/trump-tweet-google..
You carry on deleting me and you be next  Wink.

Welcome back how was the "holiday form the forum"?  As soon as you follow the rules like EVERYONE else I will have nothing to delete.  You are as dense as a fucking rock you moron.  If you had half a brain cell you would know that I give zero fucks what content is in your posts.  

Say whatever the fuck comes into that tiny little brain of yours. If you're to stupid to learn how to use the edit button and continue to ignore the rules then ya we're gonna have more problems.

We can play these games all day long asshole, remember though one of us has a delete button and the forum rules on their side.  In case you're too stupid to figure out which one of the two of us has the delete button it's not you!

If you weren't so fucking stupid you would have figured out long ago after being informed politely of such that all you have to do is 1 simple thing and I will not delete anymore of your shitty posts.

You have exactly 2 ways to get me to stop deleting your posts.  I know your too stupid to be able to figure them out so I will explain them ONE LAST time for you.

1- Stop breaking the rules (learn to use the edit button, you're not the only one on the fourm asshole, think of the readers for once shithead)
2- Take it to Meta and convince theymos to remove me as moderator.

Can you tell me which one has a 100% chance of success and which one has a much much lower chance of success.

Can you see where I am going with all this.  I am done being polite to you as that is ineffective, I had PM'd you out of respect to your rank letting you know about the rule violations.  When you ignored that and began raving like a lunatic again I sent another PM warning you.  You're not special shit cunt, you don't get to follow the rules you like and ignore the rest.

Cheesy^^..Now you got rid of my amazing posts again  Angry..I will batter you next time CHIP SHOP STYLE

You're not special shit cunt, Cheesy< WELL I THINKS I AM  Wink even if you don't Grin..

Man  I spend 2 hours typing and you come along and get rid of my post ..And say off topic   NO your off topic my topics are about politics ..
So stick that in your pipe and smoke it..BYE   warning WHO GIVES A SHIT Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  YES FUCK YOU TOO..

You're posts were not deleted because they were off topic they were deleted because you were polluting multiple threads with sometimes 3 or 4 consecutive posts.  I asked you twice politely to use the edit button but you are essentially an unreasonable user that responded the way you did instead of just following the rules like everyone else.

I was just asking for clarification on why some threads were moved and not others... it seemed to me that several religious themed threads were moved, and that was the motivation...

I see by your answer its simply arbitrary based on whether you feel it belongs there... so, basically I have zero rules to guide me, and only your personal decision on what you think belongs here... great... good times

How exactly do you decide that a thread called "Evolution is a hoax" where some idiot just argues nonsense about why he's religious and hates evolution... is more relevant to this section than a poll about religious beliefs... one has to do with politics and society (my poll about religious beliefs is society), and the other is 100% off topic (Evolution is a hoax)

The level of discourse on this forum is quite sad anyway... most posts appear to be made by children simply to increase their post count... I don't know why I even bother
