That's the link to the original article, is it the vice versa? Coindesk Author(s) have copy-pasted a content from Bitcointalk?
In my opinion, if they do, the forum doesn't have the authority to accuse the website, only the member who've posted the original contents can file an accusation since he's considered the Author of that post.

If it is the usual copied from that website and pasted to a Bitcointalk thread (no sources/quotes), use the "report to moderator" button to perma-ban the user.

How it was posted? Like copy-pasted the article without any links to the source or a part of it quoted with a link to the website?
If it was posted like the poster's claiming that it is his words (no source link or quote), that's plagiarism and falls under rule #33.

This quote is self explanatory:
33. Posting plagiarized content is not allowed.
-This includes both copying parts or the entirety of other users' posts or threads and copying content from external sources (e.g. other websites) and passing it as your own.

Dear moderators, please, explain to me one thing about the rules of our forum.

For example, we have a topic where users discuss about the Lightning Network. Interesting and important news about Lightning Network appears in the web and somebody's posting it in this form (in the thread about Lightning Network):


Is it a violation of the rules in this situation?

That's great, thank you! I've also spotted some modifications that could be made to the Wallet software description, like adding Hardware wallets and removing the part about Multibit since that's already an archived section.

Also, a minor one is that the Technical Support section has been renamed more specifically to Bitcoin Technical Support.
Fixed, thanks for the heads up.


I just completed hindi translation of this thread and posted in local Indian Community. Link are given below..

So, I can post my referral code as long I'm not aiming the referral itself and not displaying the code there.

But, how about if I forgot to hide the referral code from my post. Is it possible to my post got deleted by mods?
It's not about hiding the referral code, it is about not being a spam and the post must abide by the rules.

Example of insubstantial posts:
  • Thread displaying list of faucets and each link comes with a referral link - those posts belongs to micro earnings board and only one thread per site is allowed and it's highly likely that the faucet owner already had a thread there.
    If you post it somewhere else, that'll be off-topic.
  • Replies (Not a thread) that contains referral code - constructive or not, it will be deleted.

It is allowed if it's not a spam like the rule said,
one example is freebitco.in's  thread which has wetsuit's referral code "?r=4" in Huge text-link which has been posted there and still active for 6 years.
Why? It's a legitimate post that "advertise" the site, not off-topic and the main purpose isn't the referral code. (only one post per site is allowed in gambling board)

Does this means we are allowed to post Ref links as long as we don't spam it?
No, share your referral link on your post/thread absolutely is not allowed.

If it is a one-line or long spammy thread with a sole purpose of displaying the referral code, it will be deleted (mods and patrollers can easily spot obvious spam).
Some DTs will Tag you for displaying referral link(s).
And worse, if there's too many referral-link posts and threads, you'll get banned by a mod.

Tip: just use your signature space for those purposes as long as the site isn't a scam (that's an issue too).

I realize people do post their Ref links and their own website/blogspots
For the people who have posted a referral link, their post/thread will not long lasting in the forum. Moderators will delete it as soon as possible if they found it.

But, you are allowed to put your referral link in your signature code.

Wanted to ask Regarding on
4. No referral code (ref link) spam. [1]

Does this means we are allowed to post Ref links as long as we don't spam it?
Because over the year, i always thought Ref links are not allowed, but after browsing through forums for quite some time
I realize people do post their Ref links and their own website/blogspots

It is allowed?
Kindly solve my doubt

Thanks and regards,

Actually, mods aren't capable of searching through the whole forum to find all off-topic or NSFW posts, they must be resorting to user reports most of the time;
that's why I underlined:

Probably off-topic
I have to defend myself somehow against speculations and accusations and address all questions in that thread.

I read the thread and the deleted post actually addresses the bogus accusations that the OP was making against marlboroza. I don't think it should have been deleted when other posts that are not "off-topic" where not deleted in that thread. It appears the moderator just read about "vibrating panties" and assumed it was NSFW and off topic. However, that is what the OP of thread is accusing marlborozo of stealing.
I thought that too, but then I used search button to find something and:

dildo
glowing dildo,
glass dildo

Is it NSFW?

Can someone educate me why moderator removed this post https://prnt.sc/my1dvm from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5118852.0;all ?

Is it off topic or any other reason?

Probably off-topic but the main reason is:
Someone must have used the "report to moderator" button to your post and because of being off-topic (despite of the number of other off-topic replies), it got deleted.

Changed "Alternative clients" to "Wallet software" in the "Guidelines for threads".



Hi there,

We've just made a Romanian translation of this thread (3dOOm and I) and posted it here.

We'd be grateful if you could add it to the OP  Smiley

P.S. - it was already verified by Cyrus.

All the best!
Added, thanks.

That's great, thank you! I've also spotted some modifications that could be made to the Wallet software description, like adding Hardware wallets and removing the part about Multibit since that's already an archived section.

Also, a minor one is that the Technical Support section has been renamed more specifically to Bitcoin Technical Support.
