The scam accusation section is enough to report scammers in my opinion it's better to add the scam accusation at the gambling section so that whomever that wants to visit any casino or gambling site can easily finds it there and then be very cautious of the one to get started with. There are some users who doesn't discover the accusations or regularly visit there to know what casinos that has good reputation to gamble on. Additional subforum can either makes it complicated whereby there may be some section where they won't visit at all, just the above user said of the investigation board I can't remember when last I have posted there or even posted there before. Although is a nice idea anyway.
Didn't think about that.
Possibly a separate board about gambling scam accusations under gambling and all the others in a generic scam board since it does look like 75%+ of the scam complaints are about casinos.
There is one sub board under scam accusation called investigation, which I do not visit.
Look at scam accusation board now:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0Since today has almost ended, remaining just 6 hours and 50 minutes, only 7 posts has been under scam accusation board.
If I should answer the question, becuase of low posts on scam accusation board, no need for sub board.
I disagree With you. The scam accusations board had
1331 number of posts last month from
235 posters. The Board is not as quiet as you may assume, and having a sub-board for easy navigation will be quite helpful because frequently, posts about scam projects and loan defaulters are buried for complaints about casino scams.
That is part of the issue, the sheer amount of casino scam accusations causes everything else to get buried.
Scam Accusations -> Exchanges
Same with exchanges, if you don't gamble you may miss the issues that started happening with your favorite exchange since it buried within all the other posts.
Just a thought. Would not require massive changes to the board in general, just more of a cleaning up thing. Might make it better, might make it worse.
You are a Tidy person, who wants everything to be in place. I like that, I also like things to be arranged in a manner way. Well, I have tracked each and every big section including the Scam Accusations and from the last 2 months, I can tell you, the number of new topics created in Scam Accusations is too low, then how can you say the important scam accusations about exchanges are buried under others. Okay, I got it, when a person makes a reply, the old topic goes up and the good ones, go below like to 3rd or maybe 5th pages.
But, won't it happen even when we make all the boards? Like if we make a sub-board of exchange in scam accusations, will good topics/accusations will not be buried under the new ones? They will, but I really liked your idea as things will be more arranged.
A messed up board is the one, nobody wants to visit, the best practice, if we want to know about the accusation of some exchange is to search about it, on ninjastic or using the search box.
Heh, I don't think in the 50+ years I have been alive the word tidy has been used to describe me.
The problem with the search here is it's far from perfect so someone doing a quick search might miss it and going to ninjastic or someplace else although good for the users in the know, others who don't use the forum as much and don't know about that or Loyces post scraper either will never see some things.
Maybe this is a good idea, but I think that in reality it only complicates things further. Many individual scam accusations do not even have the basic form that is expected in order to have an easier insight into where the problem is. Even many have not presented relevant evidence, especially newbies who just came to present the problem and ask for help.
Perhaps a more straightforward solution is to write on the subject of the topic for example [Casinos], [Exchange] etc... But even that would be too much, because hardly anyone even emphasizes [Solved], which is much more important because it directly affects someone's reputation.
Perhaps harsher moderation might be needed. If it's not in the scam report format:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scam-report-format-use-it-to-make-scam-reports-properly-260073 or something close to it the mod has the duty to delete it and tell the poster to try again. Kind of like messing up an assignment in school and having the teacher tell you to do it again.
Might be a bit harsh, but it could clean up a lot.
