This thread will be a project to see if we can get some quality Altcoin discussion going. Here are some examples of what could be posted:
- Overview of technology offered by an Altcoin - is it good, bad, unique, or a copycat?
- Price predictions (on a lesser scale than the Altcoin Observer, and also with no shill spam such as "DOGE GOING TO THE MOON!!!!". All predictions need evidence)
- Updates to an altcoin (may only be posted ONCE. A repeated post which only says "this altcoin just got this" a second time will be deleted. A repeat post must have a detailed overview of what it means).
- Recent major issues that arose with an altcoin (premine discovered, bounty fund dumped, etc. Must have 100% positive evidence or it will be deleted. No FUDing with some crap evidence you found on a FUD thread).
Here are my rules, too.
- If I delete something it was for a good reason. Whining about it will result in a thread ban. Posting past a thread ban on a self-moderated thread can get you banned from the forums. Need proof? This is a PM I had from a global mod: [...] if you have a self moderated thread, and someone continues to post after you delete their comments repeatedly, you may verbally tell them that they are no longer allowed to post in your thread, if you tell them and they continue, they will be banned. [...]
- No FUDing (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt). This means posting insults or bad things about an Altcoin without 100% amazing proof that can not really be disputed. Saying something like "x coin is going to crash, SELL SELL SELL" is FUD and will be deleted on sight.
- No shilling. This means hyping a coin with no hard evidence behind it (see above), sometimes while insulting coins that are "rivals" to the coin you are hyping. Sure, if something really great happened to the coin, like you donated a few thousand dollars to a charity, post it. But only with undeniable proof. Else it will be deleted on sight. And like I said above, only once, after that if you're going to continue talking about what happened to x coin you need to give an overview on what it now means for the coin.
- No trolling. This covers anything which is just there to piss people off, insult people, etc. Instant thread ban.
- I don't care what your signature says. It's the substance in your post that matters.
- If you're going to quote a large post (>=300 words) then you need to cut out some parts to reduce it to under 300 words. Use [...] to show where you cut out parts of the text.
- I may add any rules to this at any time and I reserve the right to delete posts or thread ban for any reason at any time too.
I will try to stay mostly out of discussions on this thread, but I may chip in on things such as new technology offered by an Altcoin every once in a while. For the most part, if I do have views (like/dislike) for an Altcoin, they will be kept out of this thread.
If I delete your post 3 times in a 2 week period, you'll be thread banned. I'll keep track. Let's see how this goes, eh?
