Topic: [REQUEST] the wall observer thread should be pinned. - page 2. (Read 969 times)

you are correct. and that was worth some merits

Congratulations JayJuanGee you are now officially a member with the five digit merit count. I guess I will definitely wait for Your next milestone hmmm I'm probably guessing a binary combo of 11111.

Thanks for the shoot phil 

This was my point exactly in my first reply. For a user to send merits, he definitely must have earned some so he has the right to send it in what ever way as long as he is no breaking any rule like account farming. Except of course you are a merit source and besides most merit sources are nice contributors with nice merit history. I've visited the Wall observer thread a couple of times I I noticed it's not a merit spree thread like most people emphasize it is. However everyone is free to their opinions plus everyone has a different standard to determining a merit worthy post.

My main point like I said before is the Wall observer is such an epic thread on this forum that it deserves to be pinned even if it usually appears at the top.

The WO thread is an outstanding one, so there is no need for it to be pinned, because that is where the old Gs in bitcoin investment do use to encourage themselves to keep on hodli, and to have fun that they are proud to be long term hodlers.

I don't think there is any wasteful spread of merit, because the receiver will appreciate it, and merits add value to a user's account.
Where else do you expect those users that the WO thread is only their area of interest here in the forum to give out their Smerits. This is why merit flow is inevitable on the thread. No matter how shitty a thread is, as long as high reputable, and high knowledgeable members comments on it, some comments will be educative.

Seriously, bro? I bet even if ChartBuddy is disabled, there are actual real users who are keeping it alive and pinned to the top.

To name few philipma1957, JayJuanGee, El duderino_

The way you people go about that thread is like anybody who post there will definitely get merit, it only takes those recognized members to give and get merit over there. That place is for those who matters (like I said before) and pinning it is like stopping the fun of the bigger boys and they can't help but do their thing over there. Let's say getting that thread to be pinned is successful don't you think that they can open another thread and maybe name if WO_Version1.2 and it will stand so whatever goes on there stays there and you can't  kill the fun elders of the Forum are having, after all they're not violating any of the rules, the merit is theirs to give out to whoever.

Thanks for the boost.


Almost like a birthday party.  Thanks.

10001 now, to celebrate 10000 

but I saved your screen as a souvenir.





I don't know what people like to complain about the wall, it's one of the coolest places to stay. The little time I spend there is very interesting mainly because of the knowledge that can be acquired.

nice job JJG 10,000 merits look good on you

did not forget you mia you now have 410

It seems a lot of persons here don't support the idea of pinning based of nice reasons they have mentioned.
The Fact is a topic of that mass must definitely have some off topic discussions and posts but that doesn't make the thread ineligible for merit distribution. Even at that if you look closely you will definitely still find a couple of posts worth meriting.
However though a lot of users have made their points, my reason for the creation of this thread was simply based on the reputation of the Wall observer thread here on Bitcoin talk and not because of merits so let's try to keep the discussions on point with the topic.

Pinned or no pinned merits can't stop flowing there because merits can be given anywhere any place, so pinning doesn't mean that WO will gain more attention because already it's a mega thread with lots of attention given from reputation members here. A lot of people love posting over there because they always get the latest information concerning bitcoin price and so on, somehow if you looked at wo you would see that it gains almost 2 to 3 pages per day and that's show is active thread.

You are probably referring to one or the other of the below two related threads, which should largely help you to figure out for yourself that the mere fact that something is alleged (dramatized and/or whined about) does not cause it to have merit.....

....but hey, whatever, you are free to believe whatever you like.

Request: Disable merits in the Wall Observer thread

Request: Disable JayJuanGee in the Wall Observer thread

I know that merits can be spent anywhere as it pleases the giver but it's kinda concerning the way it's being spread in WO thread. Although I can't find the particular thread, I think a user complained of how merits were thrown around even to posts that weren't deserving in that thread so for me it's pointless pinning it when all these( constant updating by Chartbuddy, excessive merit gifting) make it stand out already.

Well since you've pointed out the obvious, I'd rest my case.

merits can be spent anywhere which is why I gave you 3 and gave the milfster 4

There used to be some exchanges that has a "troll box" in which members could live chat, such as BTC-e, and so I mostly was labelling the WO thread as a "troll box" in that kind of a sentiment... just to say the thread could be considered as a place where almost anything goes, except active members in that thread do not tend to be very tolerant of pumping shitcoins in that thread, but if you participate in the thread for a while, there will be deviations into topics (that are not really directly related to bitcoin price tracking) that might go on for days and days or even weeks or months..

I personally tend to prefer to stay mostly on topic of the thread, but I am not innocent of my own sometimes deviations from the thread topic.. and maybe even exaggerating a bit more than necessary.. especially in that thread.... and yeah, sometimes current events might ONLY be tangentially related to bitcoin price movements, yet they can also sometimes end up having some relation to bitcoin's price movements, since nearly everything is likely somehow related to bitcoin in one way or another... even as a bit of a stretch, shitcoins.. hahahahahaha


I was going to say something.. but then I decided to restrain my lil selfie.. .... but you make a very deep and profound point, vapourminer. #justsaying

no

It really doesn't need or deserved to be pinned. It's only the most popular because it's auto-posted in multiple times a day by ChartBuddy, and given that fact it's usually always at the top anyway.

I think someone who would consider you a troll or having to participate in any troll box should try matching your quality or bringing much insights as I see you do in several arguments the much I’ve had to read from you anyways. You often come with volume and postulates that speaks facts with logical conclusion to each statement.

---

With that being said, though I’ve only been seeing that topic of recent, I must say, it’s got a lot of activities on it and there is always constant price update. The community definitely need such function since we really concerns ourselves with what is Bitcoin doing. Maybe they don’t get to update the whole topic as some of the informations it Carrie’s would not be relevant in the form of being directly instructive. This is the idea I find the few pinned post I’ve read to be about but, I think it would be a plus to the community to have a price update on the home page of the forum, just like a digital clock.

 It's not necessary. You pointed out that it gains enough attention already so pinning it would seem as if you want it to get extra attention more than Chartbuddy is making it get. The question one should ask is if this is done, although it's a suggestion from you, will it stop the somewhat wasteful spread of merits there?.

Probably some of us consider the WO thread as the troll box of the forum.. or the forum's main chat thread....and maybe some forum members don't know that?    Even though a newbie might get beaten up verbally if joining the WO thread as a beginner, no one can really stop anyone from posting there about any topic, even though you will likely get beaten up if you try to pump shitcoins in that thread...

I think that it is good if newbies come into the thread, especially if they have actual ideas that they are able to back up and to comment upon current happenings in bitcoinlandia..

This is the likes of what  I actually meant before I created this thread. We on this forum all know that the wall observer is an epic thread which also servers as a discussion thread for some our biggest whales and hodlers on this forum. Of course I agree to the fact that it has always found its way to the top of the speculation board based on frequent discussions and the chart buddy bot.

Let's not forget the fact that you can use a Few sort buttons on the board which would make the wall observer thread seem not to be on the board. However if it is pinned no matter the kind of sort used on the board it will still remain at the top.
