-- i meant list of acronyms not list of abbreviations. link for acronyms would really helpful.

Acronyms are abbreviations formed from words, what's the difference?

Just use Google search for common acronyms, most of them aren't exclusive to this forum.
Like NSFW (Not Safe For Work) ex: Pornographic/Gore/Drugs images.
Also, when replying a followup to your question, use "edit" and mark the edited part as edit (if necessary) for a nicer format. Wink

Is it possible for the thread owner to prevent anyone posting?

Yes, they can easily lock a thread. Look for a lock sign (either in front of the thread title [while viewing a board] or at the upper left corner of a thread):

Direct link of the SS

Also the thread you're trying to post in, might be on a section that limits users (based on their ranks):

Quote from: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/rules-for-serious-discussion-and-ivory-tower-2722359

- You must be at least a Jr Member to post in Serious Discussion, and a Full Member to post in Ivory Tower.

Looking for some help here because I don't understand why I cannot post in a certain topic.

Did you use the Ignore Board option in your profile settings? I'm pretty sure you can't post on a board you are ignoring even though you can navigate to a thread from a link.

Thanks but no, I'm not ignoring any boards. Is it possible for the thread owner to prevent anyone posting? I'm concerned the thread owner in this case is censoring everything to prevent awkward questions.

Is this because the mod locked it down, or is it because the topic creator has blocked me from posting?

I'm not sure how to tell.

Thanks.

Human nature is such that I was on here for 4.5 hours before I found this post. I was too busy digging in. I didn't really want to invest the time to read when there were so many other things. to read.
I see that many people say that the rules should be more defined and clearer and that will help.
But the other topics are very enticing, so you can't expect people to seek them out.

I have said before, Anyways I explain it you still will not trust. So, there's no point explaining to you.
Your problem alleges all of those accounts are mine, that's your right.
If you are a smart person in analyzing something, then you can distinguish between one account with another account. But you are not able to analyze it properly.
I'm also not sure if you only have one account.

I just don't understand why you need so many accounts? What for? Why?

Every normal member has one account and struggling to rank up, and you have 10? One is not enough for you to share your opinion and thoughts or to discuss with people?

I think you need these accounts for bounty and signature campaigns and that is not allowed to participate in one bounty with few accounts, but also not allowed to join 10 different bounties with this accounts. As you know there is always "no alts" rule in each bounty campaign.

I don't care if having multiple accounts are allowed. That's not my point.

I'm saying that you got a negative trust for having 10 accounts in the same campaign and your answer for this is to create 2 new accounts. I'm pretty sure many DT members would tag all your new accounts for this, thus I thought it was funny that you decided to post this here.

Anyways, in the end, you can't just spam to rank up anymore since now you need to earn merit. So I don't care about what you do.

Why do you say I cheat?

Because of your neg trust reference, which connects your old "useless" account (Almasani) with 10 other accounts. And each of of them were participating in the same campaign (which is against the rules of the campaign, thus it's considered cheating). P.S: I really don't believe in your "all the mentioned accounts belong to my friends" bullshit excuse.

You re-read Forum Rules.

Which one exactly do you think I should re-read? Wink

Hi Admin and Global Moderator, I have three interconnected accounts.
1. Almasani ( Full Member) Red Trust.
2. JR-Almasani (Newbie)
3. Trusted By Almasani (Newbie)
Excuse me! I am create a new account, because my old account is no longer usable. Let me use those two accounts. If there is any violation of my bounty campaign, please banned!
Sorry if speaking english is less regular. I just want to tell about the account.
Thanks.

So, you were cheating bounties with multiple accounts and your solution after getting a negative trust is to create more accounts? And post them here?

Not very smart.

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

Maybe a small typo: the rule 9 has [e] for examples but there is no example for the rule 9.

Good catch, fixed.

Quote from: sncc on April 08, 2018, 01:03:08 AM

Regarding the rule No. 33 about plagiarism, is there a consensus for the correct way of the citation? I think the most appropriate way is to enclose contents from other websites/posts by "quote".
[EDIT: quotation for other posts in the forum in the standard form automatically comes with the link to the post, but quotation for external webpage one should write the direct link to the specific webpage near the quotation.]

If the above quotation style is a consensus, it would be good to clarify the definition of the correct way of citation in the rule because some users are making use of the absence of it as a loophole: sometimes people use the contents without "quote" but with small citation which looks like they are trying to hide it, e.g.,

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.33194095
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.32274273

and other users post the contents even without mentioning the original threads, which I think conflicts the rule No. 33, see, e.g.:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/another-way-to-get-merit-3130158
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.32791816

These things are also being discussed in these threads:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/one-way-to-avoid-a-plagiarism-accusation-3255944 (use of "quote" for external webpage with link)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-gained-from-using-sources-3272524 (validity of small citation without "quote")

Since the number of these gray area posts seems increasing after merit system, it would be useful to clarify in the rule No. 33 whether the small citation without "quote" would be bad or good, and the definition of the correct way of the citation.

IMO as long as you can relatively easily discern the fact that the content in question is not original, it should be fine.

I am a little bit confused here, why would you like to know how much it costs?
Unit of evil is shown only when you try to create an account for the first time and is related somehow to the ban recieved by your network. Personally never heard that it is available otherwise.

Quote from: theymos on July 26, 2014, 11:08:57 PM

Currently each unit of evil requires a payment of 4023 satoshi. You only need to pay something if you have 1 or more, though.

Theymos wrote this message in 2014. So I was interested in whether the worth of a unit of evil has changed now.

Thanks for the reply wasn't aware of or maybe i forgot it, i don't remember now.
