But what to do if moderators ignoring that situations when couple of persons attacking some projects with huge pictures of FUD, bulling other people, using really harsh words because nobody can stop that? Admins, could you please protect your forum from troll bulling?

That is just one example of the messages from one of couple of people which bulling Minexcoin and Republia projects. Actually there is Hunterwolfie, JollyGood and YuSK

Both the size of the backlog and the number of reports coming in every day is massive. To quote what I've recently mentioned in another thread:

Quote

A report might also linger around the queue simply because there's always a crap ton of new reports coming in, to the point that I barely even remember the last time my queue went down to less than a hundred reports.

If a report wasn't marked as bad or good, it's still in the queue. Sooner or later it should be handled.

It's not the right place for your post.
Start your own thread and describe the situation.
Perhaps the Reputation board is the best place for your content.

Thanks mate. But there already someone created topic for main fudder. but as you can see nobody from BTT admins acting to that https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5049155.20

When posting on the forums, what should be the topic to be up rank?

There's no such thing as "a particular topic that makes you move up the ladder (rank up) by simply participating in its discussions".
- Read the following thread: TMAN'S guide to getting merit.

Thanks for the reply. Lightlord keeps paying, with delays as usual, but he pays.

Could those rules be clarified a bit in the OP?

My understanding is that bumps would be when someone hasn’t replied in 24 hours or more but I’m not sure, and that “old bump” means someone replying to a thread when it hasn’t had any replies for a long time.

Am I wrong?

Bumps are usually just for your own thread and they're mostly only concerned with marketplace threads. As long as those posts claiming the giveaway follow the rules of that giveaway then I don't see anything wrong with that. If they're claiming multiple times within 24 hours even though the giveaway only states once per day then that's probably spam and should be addressed.

Can a moderator have a look at what we were discussing on this thread?

Rules 13 and 21 are not clear to me or to anyone on that thread. I guess those rules were implemented for the marketplace mainly but don’t necessarily have to be strictly applied on other parts of the forum.

Thanks.

They're not bumps and there's no rule about removing posts in giveaway threads. They're either just bounty hunters just trying to claim bounties and/or farm accounts in the process. People have used that giveaway thread to farm hundreds if not thousands of accounts over the years. An example here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.23917004)

I'm not sure if it's even paying anymore. Litelord doesn't care either way. Games and Rounds probably shouldn't count towards post-count/activity and that has been discussed before, but it probably doesn't matter that much anymore with the merit system as just activity alone is useless to move up ranks.

Sometimes I find really good content in the English thread, while in the Russian one the situation is not so good. If I translate someone's content with refering to the original source will it be conseidered as plagiarism?

If you link the source, I don't since so.

And one more: shoul I always ask permission for translating someone's brilliant thoughts in case I mention great contribution of the author and that it's just
translation, not an original post.

Yes. Always ask the author if you can translate it to your board.

It does'nt mean that I intend only translate and not participate. I just want the Russian speakers could read good-quality content, as some topics really worth attetion.

Added a bit more content to the rule 15 explanation's quote (thanks to xandry for the suggestion) and adjusted the signature styling restrictions for newbies in one of the FAQ questions as per https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/enhanced-newbie-restrictions-requirements-5030366.

9. Discussions in the main boards must be in english. All other language discussions should be posted in the appropriate Local board.

This rule seems to me had other text earlier? Now it kind of allows to communicate in English in local boards.
And, I think, we need to add clarification to rule 15 that it is forbidden to participate in onforum altcoin giveaways also.

None that I recall. As for English discussions in local boards, it's not completely prohibited if one of the country's national languages is English (e.g. India). In addition, the word "appropriate" kind of covers the requirement to post in the language(s) the local board(s) was / were created for.

Hello,

I have a little question

How many times in my own theme I can writes word "reserved" ?
How many messages with this word(reserved) can be under my theme?

Thank you.

There's no hard limit but I personally usually allow 2 and delete the rest. They also have to be posted at the start of the thread. I may make an exception if I see a valid reason for having more.

Hello,

I have a little question

Can 'Members', 'Junior Members' & 'Newbies' put such a ⚡ character in their signatures? Sorry, but I cannot test it on my own.
It seems it's possible but I'm wondering, because it's filled with a color and I'm not sure is it excluded or not.

Best wishes.

Since emojis are part of Unicode, I'd assume they're treated the same as regular characters when it comes to signature restrictions. You can always make an alt account and test it out.

Thank you very much for an answer,
I would love to merit it but I'm out of sMerits at the moment :-(. Thanks again!

Best wishes.

I am looking for the rules relating to just opening a Bitcoin Forum account

Briefly there are two types of rules that you should take into consideration in a case like that:
1. Rules of the bitcointalk.org forum. These are listed here, in the starting post of this thread, and their observance is monitored by bitcointalk.org forum moderators. If something isn't mentioned here as prohibited, then it's not forbidden and doesn't imply forum ban or another "administrative" sanction.
2. Rules of particular bounty campaigns. These are listed in threads of specific bounties (or somewhere on their project's sites) and their observance is controlled by project creators and/or bounty managers.

So, regarding the forum account restrictions, we talk about first type. According to p.18 of these rules, on bitcointalk.org you can register (and use) as many accounts as you want:

Quote from: mprep on July 21, 2014, 12:27:51 PM

18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed [...]

(But you'd better not violate the other paragraphs with these accounts if you don't want to capture the attention of forum mods.)

While regarding the "multiple" participation in one bounty campaign, we talk about second type - and plenty of accounts according to these rules indeed is not allowed. But, if you'd break them, you'll be expelled from specific campain only, not from entire forum or whatever else "worldwide". ~~Though you can also receive the negative trust for this, but that's a social rating and a different story.~~
