Is there a way to unsubscribe from threads you have posted in; that is, to remove those threads from the "Show new replies to your posts" function?

No, but you can use the "Watchlist" option instead (last option from the list, upper left). It gives you the ability to sub/unsub.

I'll give that a shot; thanks.

Looks like the spam problem still exists, is there any rule regarding "Locking Topics"?
As an Anti-Spam measure (not as a rule), I'll leave a link to my thread here: Lock Thread(s) After Getting Enough Replies.

I saw that most of those spam threads' owners doesn't even know how to close the discussion, I have sent a PM to some of them requesting to close their threads.
....Hopefully, most will respond.

Can I have a referral link in my signature?

Your signature is the only place on the forum you can put referral links. You cannot, however, put a link in your signature until you gain the rank of Member.

I see this occasionally in the altcoin section and have never known what to do so have left it.
If the post is substantial (as in more than a few lines and is actually something new / not rehashing old ideas / arguments / content / etc.) and doesn't rely on the deleted post (e.g. a rebuttal, using it as context, etc.), it can stay. In most cases, I delete any discussion stemming from a deleted post.

Is it worth adding something to the guidelines on this? Something like if you see an offtopic or spam post please do not quote it but use the report to moderator function instead. This was something I had to learn by having a couple of posts deleted.

What's the forums policy on posts that are quoting a message which has been deleted? For example, when reporting posts and they have been deleted, occasionally someone has already quoted that message and replied. The response may be constructive and isn't a reportable offense on it's own.

For anyone wondering: going to add (and change a few) FAQ questions on the Merit system once everything cools down and theymos stops adding additional features to it.

Goodbye, Z.

Theymos said there will be a public merit rating history for every user added tomorrow.
Wait for it and there should also be a link added somewhere to directly access it.

Can you see your merit history in this page?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit
If it does, you can add the link along with the information about merit system in the 1st page.

I'm going to update the Translated - Filipino Thread as well.

And this part:

Also, remember when PMing the signed message, send it in [code ][/code ] brackets (just without the space at the end). For example,

You can remove the space without activating the code header using the "[nobbc][/nobbc]" tag.
example: [code][/code]

Added 2 more FAQ questions, modifed an old one and added guidelines for the 2 new boards:

Quote

Q: When will I be able to add an avatar to my account?
A: Once your account is ranked Full Member or higher.

Quote

Q: Why aren't I receiving any messages from newbies? / I'm a newbie and I can't PM other users
A: In order to mitigate spam, messages to and from newbies have to be opted in. You can do so here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=pmprefs. If you are a newbie and can't seem to reach a user who's buying / selling goods and / or services, post on his thread about it.

Quote

Q: How does activity work?

Serious discussion - "More serious discussion. No advertising of any kind. No junk posts. ". Unlike in most other main section boards, altcoin talk here is OK. You must be a Jr Member to post in this board. Posts in this board do not increase your post count.

Ivory Tower (child board of Serious discussion) - "Even more serious discussion. [Full] Members and above only. No advertising of any kind. No junk posts.". Same as Serious discussion in terms of altcoin content. Posts in this board do not increase your post count nor do they count towards your activity.

No. You can be a newbie and still be able to post in ANN threads.

Hi,

I came across an article on Cointelegraph, stating that in order to post an image rich announcement in the "Tokens (Altcoins)" section, the author needs to have at least 30 activity points. I have read the above rules but I can't find any mentions regarding this issue. I would really appreciate if someone could confirm if its really the case.

Thanks!

Yeah. You have to have 30 activity points, which equates to being a Jr. Member or you can pay to be a Copper Member which gives Newbies some extra privileges (image posting and reduced limitations on PMs)

Taken directly from the FAQ:

Quote

Q: I can't post / embed an image and I'm a newbie. Why?
A: Embedded images have been disabled for newbies due to abuse (see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/images-in-posts-disabled-for-newbies-1172918). You'll be able to post images when you become Jr. Member or if you pay a small fee. See more: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbies-can-now-pay-a-small-fee-to-enable-images-2385104.

With the recent explosion in altcoins, the altcoin boards have become the most frustrating forums to read as they are loaded with nonsense speculation and buying "advice" that is more than likely fuelled by self interest.

If there were to be one thing I'd love to see added to the rules, it would be a policy of disclosure. That is, a moral obligation to state whether a coin that is referenced by a poster in a post is held by that person.

Of course it couldn't actually be policed, but people have a moral obligation to disclose their ramping and the forum has a moral obligation to help readers to discern between what is independent/thoughtful posting and what is self-serving blather.

If anything, shills should be red tagged. This would be similar to how the forum 'deals' with scammers (and to a lesser extent, spammers). People should be able to tell between legitimate advice and obvious shilling... and if you want some form of policing then it is very much possible to either tag the accounts yourself or send details to DT members to view and tag.

The latter would take some time and I'm not sure which ones would really be willing to sink in that amount of effort just to tag shills in the altcoin section: most DT members remain in the Bitcoin part of BCT.
