Topic: Things to do to keep Bitcointalk safe and to improve its reputation (Read 313 times)

I agree with you. Maybe your experience has been a long observation and research to summarize some of the points above into a concise and clear unit. Forum residents may only see from the interaction that thread updates. I think it's interesting to be material and concepts that designed before making posts or threads that are ready to be discussed. It's a good form of effort to become accustomed to being a good user and the discussion forum is of better quality

This forum has had about a million registered members or there about since its creation. It's not an easy job to curtail it all. The forum has been beneficial to those that want to learn and acquire knowledge from crypto.
The rules and regulations governing this forum are second to none, it prohibits those that refused to adhere to them, no matter the rank.
Any account that follows up with the stated information you passed through here will gain a good reputation in the forum.

Someone is already doing this but since there's a lot of users here, it's really good to have more sources especially on giving tips on how to become more successful in crypto market and here in the forum. We should all serve our own purpose, though everyone is welcome here especially to those who wants to learn more about cryptocurrency. This is indeed a good suggestion, I hope to find my purpose here as well.

OP. very good suggestions on how to improve this forum, congratulations.
However, in recent years there has been a clear decline in interest in this forum. Active members and posts are decreasing and I think this is a trend that can't be reversed.
Younger people no longer read Internet forums, but use Telegram groups and social networks much more.
I think that soon the reputation of this forum will not be too big of a problem for us, but rather a sharp decline in activity on this forum.
I don't see a solution to this problem.

That will be a great idea for raising the forum's security and standards as well. However, I have faith in this site because even if an account is hacked, there are always ways for forum users to notice differences in posting styles, meaning moderators are already on the job. However, the 2FA will be a great advancement in account security for consumers.

Apart from this I would like to mention a few more

6) Stay away from FUD, bitcointalk is not only filled with bitcoin lovers there are also lot of haters are here to spread wrong information about crypto currencies and trying to bring down its reputation along with price.

7) Too much of information is not good, we can see lot of threads created in the name of techniques, strategies, guides but they are actually doing it without proper knowledge about it because they want merit so trying to pretend as a good poster.

8-) Use the DT system for good reason not for their own personal benefits or hatred.

OP you’ve really put an informative post together. All these you mentioned will make to keep the bitcointalk safe and improve its reputation.


This point is very important to me and am more interested in it. I often go to the technical board to see posts there and how questions about the technical aspects of bitcoin are been attended to by top legends in this forum. I’m amazed by the way they give possible solutions to questions been asked there. I just wish to be like them one day. Still learning about bitcoin gradually, hopefully soon I will be able to provide answers to questions at technical board too.

I'm more interested in this one. I've seen some guys go to great lengths to create personal websites with their own domain to share bitcoin information because the Moderators every once in a while delete posts or move them to archival where they may not get views, I've seen NotAtether with one incredible one and there is this particular one where you can estimate the sats you will be paying when making transactions to p2pkh, P2sh, and Native segwits.
There is this gentleman that manages the forum activities and events on his Youtube channel in order to reach out to people, such as the voting that took place earlier this year, and also, the bitcoin wiki has been an outstanding support medium for the forum so far.

I fully agree with the OP. One important note is that the forum's cleanliness and security begin with the user himself. If everyone avoids the things the OP described, it will improve the reputation of the forum. I can say that it is helpful to evaluate the forum as one of your homes. Do you never let your house be a mess?

Therefore, do not be lazy to press the report buttons for moderators and do not be indifferent. Then we will create a place with a lot of unique information and an attractive place for new users.

Nice input and indeed a good summarize of what should a user should do to make this forum clean and neat. Also while doing this, and contribute to the general welfare of members here, you can also gained reputation by means of trustfeedback for doing a great job in here. There are plenty of users here and so far only few doing such thing to help forum.  Like simply reporting spammers can help moderator indentified irrelavent or redundanr post. Simply like that you already helping in here.

What could also help go a far way in safety and reputation improvement would be if the site would implement 2FA.  Something like this would cut down on accounts getting hacked by at least 90% as it could save your ass in the case of some mistakes because another layer would also need to be solved.

I appreciate your time and effort for posting these important reminders, OP.

Generally, this forum is already big as it is considered the biggest cryptocurrency forum to date. Since this is the case, some people take advantage of this medium in order to create various scams and hacks in the forum which prompted some of our users to personally report all suspicious projects and/or links to certain boards for immediate action.

From my experience alone, I could say that you must really remain curious and vigilant in order to keep yourself safe from all the potential scams that constantly lurk here.

The information forum need to be ok is information that is profitable and benefit table both the newbies senior people, the forum need a place or someone that have the knowledge to solve or bring solution to a problem, And it's built for exchanging of knowledge from one person to another person, secondly another thing forum need is to be formative for any construction of words a sentence. The forum don't like plagiarism, copy and paste work. If you avoid this, you be a friend to the forum

Of all that is contained in OP, I think these two are in existence on the forum and they do the most as, they could earn you a ban and like that you have virtually zero chance to polluting the forum any longer. The forum has so graciously patterned a system that ensures its smooth running and its users uphold a certain standard that is second to none.
The ranking pipeline, the merit system, trust system, plagiarism and spam post checks amongst other policing that is done on the forum have been some formula that upholds forum integrity and encourage users to discuss only that which is sure to enrich the forum, it's law abiding users and grooming of the next generations.  Rules do the most here and they work just fine to its preservation!

You have done well OP by bringing this into remembrance to all members both new and existing ones, I believe the whole summary of it all is to go by the forum's rules and regulations and every other things will be equal, if everyone adhere strictly to the guidelines created there will be no reason for much emphasis on keeping the forum in sanity and the likes.

Nice Op what you wrote is the other way of improving the reputation of an individuals. Reputation here in forum is not only how many trust feed back you received but on how you manage, socialize with others or how you express your goodness here in the forum.  Helping the moderators find scammer, spammer even a shit posters is good contributions and a good way of building reputation.

Well --you have good input and thank you for these reminders.
While reading this in my mind I have 2-3 additional suggestions for them and I think, reading the official rules ^[1] would help anyone to avoid that possible mistakes. There are too many factors to consider to build your account here and become a well-established member, the relationship between users and other users is a good start to achieve it. All you have to do is respect each other or most especially those higher rank than yours.
