Topic: There Must be child Board With the Name of "Location" in local boards. - page 2. (Read 336 times)

Bitcoin talk forum allows users to protect their privacy and anonymity and you will not want to tell other members where you are living in. A nation is enough and a location like a province, city ... will like more risk to dox you.

Bitcoin talk is not a social media platform like Facebook, Twitter to show your check-in locations and lose your privacy forever. You can like this idea but I believe most of users are against this idea.

These goals are far from the reason for using the forum, as it is a cryptocurrency forum and not a general forum, and Twitter and Facebook are ideal places for such events. I can say that the best alternative to your idea is to create Meetups like this board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=86.0, within which each person can talk about events related to Bitcoin in his area or city. This will be easier to familiarize yourself with Bitcoin and track local events by creating a topic for each city.

That will be very first time suggested and i dont think its necessary. Boards or Child boards name vary the topics of most or all the threads inside, not the the users location ^{(except the local board name)} as you suggested. Besides its not good for privacy.

I think I understand what you're trying to say - but how is that possible if you don't have your own local board yet? Your request doesn't seem urgent - so I think you should just focus on convincing admin to agree to your new local board request instead of the child board you intended.

The idea of local boards is to carry each and every member of the forum along, irrespective of their language, ethnicity, and religion, because the forum's general language is English and not everyone in the world can speak and understand English. That is why local boards were created so that there will be communication about bitcoin across the world.

I don't also think creating a child board that signifies location on various local boards is necessary because it can divide the audience by their particular location instead of sharing knowledge that will benefit the general audience.

It is when Pakistan has been given a local board that you can now ask for a  child board. If your local board hasn't been created, it will be impossible to have a child board. For example, a man without a arm can't put on a wrist watch because he needs his arm to put on his wrist watch on his wrist. This it works too in school you must have a department before the courses. Hope for your local board first before you can think of having a child board. My country has a local board but we don't have a child board yet and we are hoping that Theymos will grant us that request.

I'm pretty hopeful, until the end or in the coming year with the ETF approvals we'll get the Board approval as well haha Happy Bull rally. .


Yeah, well there's a point and I would like to mention to the OP, that creating such topics for whatever purpose doesn't necessarily need a special child board for each, if a user wants to discuss something in his locality he can create a thread, In his local board as we have by the name of Pakistan*.

Anyway, I would be seeking more light on the topic of why he got up with this idea maybe there's something unique as well.

It's not going to be any helpful my friend. The local boards are accepted only based on someone's language and the Pakistan local board is for Urdu language speakers and if gets accepted then the people from Pakistan will be able to create Urdu threads in their own local board.

It's not good at all to create sub-boards in a local board where people from specific cities can talk about the events that are going to take place in that city and such child-boards can help spammers to create the threads which aren't even needed in a local board.

The first thing is that the Pakistani people haven't got their own local board and I think it's important to have their own local board before they can post a thread in Meta to ask for any child-boards. The Pakistan's local board has been in exposure for sometime but still it isn't accepted by theymos and once it's accepted then it would make sense to create child-board request threads.

The local boards are for the locals of a country who speak the same language and if Pakistan's local board is accepted then anyone from Pakistan will be able to create threads on their local board, but still most of the threads will have to be related to Bitcoin or crypto-currencies unless the local board also gets an off-topic child board. 

It's good that your thinking ahead and trying to see means to draw users in but, I feel this would result in the opposite of what it's hoped to archive.

Firstly, I vital part of the cryptocurrency idea isn't just in having to have an alternative to fiat thatcan be used across borders and serve more purposes but, its anonymous nature.
Most users and not just on forum would like to keep it that way which defeats the idea.

Also, we have several groups existing on the forum and though, it's just jsernes we use here, some users becoming to certain local boards are yet to identify fo various reasons. How will you expect them to unmax themselves in an event.

Again,I don't think using physical locations would be a good means to organise any local board.

Like you didn’t read my post well also, local Board aren’t mean’t for different cities or different countries but rather for other languages. Take a look at the Arabic local Board all countries that speak that language can fit in there. So there is no reason to create a child board of different locations. You just discus in the Local board language.

Thank you for putting your thoughts into it, but honestly, It seems unncessory until we get our own local board, nor I think it is doable. So, let's hope we get our local board as soon as possible.

Buddy You didn't get my main point. I suggest here a child board with the name of location and then this child board will contain the name of cities in the form of thread. There will not alot of boards in local Buddy You didn't get my main point.  just have to create one child board name with location that's all what i wanna say. Rest of that i think you did not read my post carefully.


As i aforementioned that my main purpose not to request local board here again because it is already requested here. This idea i present here for others board for now and whenever we get our own local board i also would like to see it there as well. Hope now you will get my point more clearly. Many Thanks 

Firstly, I think you’re missing the whole point of local board creation and mixing it up as something that is an individual country thing. The reason for local board is just to cover up for other languages that are not English which is the forum general language. This local board help members that aren’t fluent in English to understand and communicate well in the language they understand.

So the suggestion that there should location child board will simply imply that every country should also have their own board too which is not the point of the local board in my perspective.

You don't have your own local board yet, but you are thinking of having some childboards. The child board you suggested isn't necessary. By creating those childboards, you are dividing your people and your community into certain groups. Do you really want that? The best would be one board for Pakistan so that everyone can share their knowledge, their ideas, and their opinions in one place. My suggestion for you is to focus on getting a local board first.

Imagine if everyone thought of creating child board based on their location like usa, russia etc. Do you realize how many child board will there be if that were to happen? It will only cause unnecessary mess.

I myself belongs to Pakistan community. In usually, We don't have our local board for Now but Hoping to have it Sooner.  Our Senior members    shahzadafzal , irfan_pak10 , Hamza2424 Leading Us very well. I am sharing the request link of local board where you guys can see our every months reports which is now is impressive rather than before.

Re: Request: New Local Board for Pakistan (Urdu)

But, this idea can be implement in other local boards for now until we get our local board. Many of here may ask why i am saying to create chlid board with the name of location. So, the reason is that if there is child board with the name of location we can create threads in it with the name of cities; Like in Pakistan

Threads name be like in location child board in Pakistan....

1. Lahore
2. Karachi
3. Islamabad
4. Faisalabad .....etc

These cities name may vary location to location according to the country name in their local board.

By creating these threads in chlid board name with location we can held collaboration concerts or events by doing some announcements in these thread like where we want to held any coming event and maybe helpful to announce some important News in the cities thread related to coming events. This May be very helpful to increase the audience by inviting many of the people on these events. Where seniors will educate other people about this forum who have no idea about it like how much positive potential have this forum.

I Myself really like this forum very much because as a joiner on this forum i get to know alot of ideas and knowledge from other member and even from other boards as well.

So, for now this idea can be implement on other local boards by creating child board with the name of location. This may bring a massive audience on this forum and bring it up. Hope you guys like my idea. Many Thanks!
