Topic: The Complete List of Replies to Stupid Meta Posts (or, the FAQ) (Read 1852 times)

You're right, that's what I get for posting while still half asleep.  I think my reading comprehension is at a 2nd grade level for the first 30 minutes after I wake up.

No, neither. That's a completely different question to what I asked and what is asked here all the time. Unless (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ is meant to mean something.

You're either blind or spamming for posts:

Why is there no y can't I change my avitar? Thought this would be the first FAQ.

Merging is disabled for the most part, but there is a way to merge topics and I do use it occasionally, usually when someone makes duplicates of threads in different child boards and they all have replies that I don't want to delete. And yes, theymos knows about the workaround I use to do it.

I stand corrected, then. Maybe its not possible they are doing this. I know there's an option for "Merge any topic" that can be set for Moderators, but it might not be as easy to "undo" as the "Split any topic" option. It's also probably far more common to need to split a topic than merge due to the misunderstandings that can come from merging in a comment/post to an existing topic.

Not sure if theymos or justmoon ever use this feature, but for mods it is disabled. But we do split threads from time to time.

Whoops, just noticed I made a grammatical error: (fixed it in my post, might want to fix in the fourth question down in your list)

Also, I did just remember, mods might move some topics to "Meta" as I indicated or also "Off-topic". They also merge threads occasionally. They occasionally do delete, but it's very rare and if they've deleted your post, it's one of three things: completely nonsensical, a duplicate post of something that is already heavily under conversation and has its own thread (which you should have posted to), or it's a thread you should have known better than to post (abnormally troll). I'm often surprised by how *little* they delete.

Added!

What about the Can We Get Prime Dice Spammers Banned threads? Seen a few of these about lately  .

Two thumbs up in a "Z" formation. 

I like this list, I have a few changes, though:


Alt A: You can edit your post and uncheck "Notify me of replies" under "Additional Options". Alternatively, there should be a link in the email you received.


Alt A: Or it might just be moved to a forum like Meta!

Q: Why isn't my activity increasing?
A: The way activity is calculated:
Code:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes.

Q: 'You have to wait 360 seconds before posting again'?! [or: PLEASE FIX THESE FORUM BUGS!!111!ONE!!!]
A: This is a newbie limit. The Bitcointalk++ script by jackjack adds a button for saving posts (read: no more CTRL-C!)

Q: How do I remove posts from "Show new replies to your posts"?
A: You can't. Use the Watchlist instead (see newbie readme).
Alt A: You can edit your post and uncheck "Notify me of replies" under "Additional Options". Alternatively, there should be a link in the email you received.

Q: WTF?! WHY IS SELLING ACCOUNTS ALLOWED?! THIS FORUM IS SO BAD IMMA CRY
A: Calm down. If the forum were to ban selling accounts, then they would have no way of enforcing it; it would be pointless...

Q: OMG i getted -trust moderetors plese remove im not scammer i swear
A: The trust system is not moderated. Deal with it.
Alt A: The trust system forces accountability. If someone find you untrustworthy, you should talk to them directly about it. You might be surprised to find out how reasonable those on the Default Trust list actually are.

Q: 'Show unread posts since last visit' is clogged with scamcoin announcements!
A: Ignore the alt-crypto board: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/praise-g-d-for-the-ignore-boards-preferences-settings-400656

Q: How do I change my avatar?
A: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Alt A: Stolen entirely from a Google search:


Q: Some stupid question about the trust system not appearing/working
A: You have to trust someone's trust ratings to be able to see them under 'Trusted replies'.

Q: What do these shiny coins under my name mean?
A: That you're an idiot and didn't read the sticky.

Q: Why does this: happen?
A: Like it says, it might just be an invalid image (images must not be larger than 2.5 MB)

Q: Why isn't my activity increasing?
A: The way activity is calculated:
Activity is updated every 30 minutes.

Q: WTF mods?! My post got deleted?!?!?!?!?
A: It was probably offtopic, or you might have posted in a self-moderated thread.
Alt A: Or it might just be moved to a forum like Meta!

Q: I want to be a moderator!!!!1!!one!
A: If you want to be a moderator, report many posts with accuracy. You will be noticed.

Q: How many ads does [insert name of company here] have?!
A: https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo

Q: Can you please add [insert feature here]?
A: No, but the bitcointalk++ userscript might be able to or might already have that feature.
