Topic: There Must be child Board With the Name of "Location" in local boards. (Read 381 times)

I don't see this idea as useful at all, as it will cause a lot of useless subboards within the general local boards.

Local boards exist to contain mother languages, not countries or cities. For example, in our Arabic board, if we wanted to divide the board into sub-boards according to each Arab country, we would get more than 22 sub-boards, and each board would mostly have one member. What is the benefit of something like this? Partition that has no practical benefit?

Lol, he is jumping the gun there just a little.  And you're quite right about the divisiveness of having a country's local board further split up into sections by city/state/whatever.  Even if it didn't have the potential to cause a level of tribalism, I just don't think it's necessary--I'm trying to imagine if there was a board for the US and it was divvied up by state.  People would probably not want to be associated with a geographic location that they could be tied to.  Anonymity is still a thing in the bitcoin world, is it not?

Not a good idea, OP.

We can't expect our requests to be put on action because we think it's going to make the forum better or convenient to use. That isn't how it would take shape or else the forum would've changed before.

If local boards were started it wouldn't make sense to add cities as subs. They aren't following the practice now so why'd they do it later if it doesn't bring benefits.

Adding location is not something that will help the forum, in fact it will divert the attention of the local board members to focus on their location and stop sharing their good knowledge and experience to the entire local board members, and this can reduce the forum members anonymity this because if location is added, defiantly people will look look for ways to see each other in real life.
Furthermore, there will be much spam in the sub sections which will result to general discussion and not bitcoin or cryptocurrency .

So you think OP doesn't know about it, I'm damm sure he's well aware that without having a board we cant have a child board, The whole idea was not about the Paksitan if you ask me seriously, I'm sure 50% of the poster haven't read the OP's full post even it was not that complex to understand.

I know local boards were meant for something different from what Op's talking about, but OP is saying that if we set a child board by the category of locations and in that sub-section we can create threads by the name of their cities to discuss something creative like meetup, public campaigns etc etc. It sounds non-practical but if you ask me having such locations can really help in promoting the agenda #Bitcoin.


I think your post is more ridiculous....

In which direction you're going bro, like really counting it with Racism and religion... wooo What the heck? A newbie idea of just exploring effective educational ways is getting worse, or it's just post quota.


A very good concern, but who wants to get involved in public events like this and promote something, I'm sure He's / She's less concerned about privacy.

You should first concentrate on achieving a local board first not a child board, because when you look at all this numbers of local boards I don't think that they have a local and when they are making a request of theymos given them a local board they did no include a child board.

Even in the request of a local board from theymos its the reputable members of the country that will make post of request concerning a local board not a member rank that is not up a year, you need to know the cranium of the forum first before making a request from a local board.

While op contradict both local board and child board it's because it have never acclimatised with the rudiments of bitcointalk and that's while the tune of op request go that way.

Not me, buddy. OP wanted childboards based on some location, state, or city. Hiding your location is crucial when it's connected to the Internet. I won't want any part of my virtual life to mix with my actual life. Yeah, you are right. By creating location based childboards, OP is basically disseminating people from his country. There will be fewer and fewer participants from Pakistan as there aren't enough active members, like in Russia or Nigeria. If I'm correct, according to Rikafiq's post, the Pakistani board/thread had 42 active members and a post count of 610 in September 2023. That's very little when you compare it with Pakistan's population. If you think from a mathematical perspective, they'll be considered lucky if they get their own local board.

Unnecessary and scary, I don't want you people knowing my general location because you know what region/city where I'm at, that's too scary and not to mention that those child boards would definitely not be an active boards anyway as you get closer on a location, it's definitely going to be less and less user that will reply there but I get OP's plight, OP wants to connect with those that are close to the region that OP is in but someone has to think of the implications of that suggestion.

It is not about the problem or useless, but it will make many children's boards that are inactive, because I am quite sure that from every country people who are in this forum are not so much, especially in the calculation of the region, so adding locations to the local board It will only make our Local council narrow without activities in it.

Adding location is not what is needed and does not become something very urgent in all local councils, make a submission for logical reasons and submissions are things that should be needed by each local council.

I'm confused about why city locations have to be added for thread names because it doesn't have benefits. If there's a local board does it have to have cities for subs? I haven't seen any local board getting cities in subs so why should there be exceptions made for your board it doesn't make sense.

Long story short: Boards or childboards whatever that is should be created based on language not location.

Language boards are meant for those who aren't as expert in English. So a language board helps him to talk and engage with the forum's local users more comfortably. You may not understand English properly, you may confuse with English sometimes. But if were to question the same question in your local board, wouldn't that be easy for you to understand? Your own people can answer to your question. Even now I don't understand why you want city  or state based childboards, what are you trying to gain? There is a option to add subject when posting. You can just mention your Location when you are posting. That way you can tell others where or what region of people you are trying to spread your news to.

OP, yeah, it's your special idea, but I don't think everyone needs that. Well, members who have local boards can already decide reveal their location among each other through PM, but doing it publicly is something I don't consider security-wise. Of what help would it really be to the forum? The local board is where people from the same country can identify themselves, and if you feel the need to extend a relationship to someone in your local board, you can private chat with them with whatever your intentions are, and I believe that's how it has been working for some people for the time being. Anyway, it's just my opinion.

Your local has not even gotten their own local board and yet you are suggesting child boards to be created. With the current activity of your local board, if those child boards are created, you will be surprised that for a whole week, one child board might not have a single activity.

Again, the essence of the local board is not to track the location of all the users in your local. If you wish to expose your location, go ahead as Lovesmafamilis advised. Leave others who wish to remain private.

Dear snowpega I'm sure you know that we don't have our local board and you might have confused our this lonely thread (topic) Pakistan with other a boards.

Ok first I think t's important to clarify how Bitcointalk's board structure works. We do have local boards, but they are categorized as "Languages and Regions", not specific to cities or regions within a country. For instance, you'll find boards like Arabic, Italian, Indonesian, etc., under this section.

The section you're referring to as "Location (Local)" is not intended for child boards representing cities or regions within a country. It is more about discussing Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in one's local language.

First we want to have a dedicated board for Pakistan (Urdu) and should be created under the "Local" section, where discussions can take place in Urdu, for example. Once we have our own dedicated board, then we can consider requesting child boards, if necessary.

Regarding the idea of city-based child boards, it may not be practical for several reasons. First, it depends on the number of speakers of specific local languages within those cities. Then, it also relies on the presence of Bitcoin users within those language communities. For languages like Sindhi, Punjabi, or Pashto, it might not be justifiable due to the relatively smaller user base compared to languages like Arabic, Indonesian, or Chinese.

In summary, while city-based child boards may not be the right approach, we do need our own local Pakistan (Urdu) board to discuss topics in our language, اردو.

I hope I'm able to explain and thank you for your understanding.

A country is already a small enough group, breaking that off into specific locations will lead to less and less discussions and presents a privacy risk for the users.

The focus should be on getting your local board approved, then working out the most needed childboards to include in it.

Local boards mods can request @theymos to create more sub-boards as needed, but in general, there need to be at least 20 topics about the new sub-board before its creation is approved, otherwise it will dead because there will be no activity.
if you search in all LBs sub-boards, you will be unable to find 20 topics among the top topics each month talking about city or "Location". This doesn't just apply to your "Location" in local boards request.

If you don't value your privacy, why don't you, in your Pakistan section thread, tell all users where you live and encourage them to meet on their own? Why tell everyone where and how they live? Give yourself a signature with your location, and encourage those who want to communicate with you offline to write you a private message.

You can make one thread to post about such events, and it'll just fine job for what you are asking.


How many approximate events do you get in a year in your country? Probably not a lot. And then You wanna divide those in cities. I feel your suggestion will just make dead boards.

Just create a thread on your local board and use the city name as title for discussion. This will solve your requests. There’s not much discussion on each specifics city related to Bitcoin or crypto.

Like the current thread of some country that doesn’t have board. Create a thread like that to use for the discussion of specific location within the country.

I think we should have boards for race, religions, generations, monthly salary etc because different race, religion, generation and monthly salary will have different perspective.

Race: Asian, Black People, White People.
Religions: Christian, Catholic, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, and Atheism.
Generations: Baby Boomer, Gen Z, Gen X, Millennial.
Monthly Salary: $0-$100, $101-$500, $501-$2,500, $2,500-$10,000 etc.

It's not make sense when I talk about Jesus, but you're an Atheism who not believing in God. It's not make sense when I complaint about how insane to acquire an own house when you're an old generations who can buy house easier etc.

After all it's a sarcasm, your request are ridiculous.
