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:

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.

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

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.

I’m not sure if only the Russian mod does that, but IMO, all other mods should prohibit it as well.

I'll try to translate the local rule about fonts from the Russian section.

Local rules of our section:
1. Do not write messages making them difficult to read (don't use Caps Lock or enlarged font in the whole text; don't use transliteration; don't distort text, with jumping letters for example).

thats exactly what I mean.
unpleasant to read letters the size of the floor of the monitor screen.

Im has complained to similar posts but the moderator can not do anything. The huge font is prohibited only in the Russian section. Why a huge font is allowed on the rest of the forum ? Unclear. And strange.

It mean that on the "local Russian forum" a large font is prohibited by forum rules.(You can write a post in a larger font, but then the post will be deleted by the moderator.)
In so doing, on all major sections of the forum it is allowed. Why is that?

Rules here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--994018

paragraph:
Local rules of our section:
1.

Maybe because it sucks seeing a text that huge? It’s not necessary and it’s annoying. I’m not sure if only the Russian mod does that, but IMO, all other mods should prohibit it as well.

No one wants to see spam with a font size of 198.

Why on the forum bitcointalk.org in some sections denied a large font, and in some allowed? Huh

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=10.0 - large font not allowed

I just made a quick post with a font size of 50 in the board you linked above, it worked, and I deleted it afterward (obviously).

What exactly isn't working?

He was trying size 198 in the Russian board. Let me test it here :

99 is the biggest you can post here

There is further limits on what one can choose as an avatar. That limit is like 100 KB. I've seen some people are able to have an animated gif as an avatar. However, the 100 KB maximum makes this difficult to pull off.

You can't use .gif(original file from Photoshop) for an avatar even the size is under 100kb
I usually convert it to .png (as nc50lc said), I'm using online converter https://ezgif.com/gif-to-apng
I tried editing your avatar

.gif 15,1kb

.png 13,9kb

*click images if you want to download
*dowload .png file for an avatar

Thanks for the hat.

I'll try it on for a little while.

Animated PNG (apng, but has an extension of .png) is the new "in" now and it's more efficient in terms of file size over quality.
This animated png file for example has 60 frames but the file size is only 209kb

Yes true this is an excellent way to have animated avatar under a restrict size limit, but remember IE (Internet Explorer) still does not support animated png

(209kb)
*The image is free for personal use (made by me).

(90kb LQ)

For avatars, a 30-frame image (or 60-frame "jagged") can be made into a <100kb png file which is roughly >double for gifs.

-Edit- (as an indirect reply to the next post)
Who uses Internet Explorer anyways; Personally, I only used it once to install Chrome in my Windows PC.

Are gifs still allowed or did they get banned at some point along the way?

AFIAK, gifs are still allowed. However, if all someone posts is a gif/meme and not anything substantial, many moderators will delete the post as unsubstantial. Also, the linked gif should not be more than 2 MB, or you will get the invalid image tag. There is further limits on what one can choose as an avatar. That limit is like 100 KB.
