Thanks for this list - it helps me understand what happened with my first post-attempt which ended up being multiple versions of that same post and hence DELETED. Now, I can say, I get it.

How to start bounties through bitcointalk without breaking any rules .
Should the address be send through PM ?

Regards,

If you are going to pay those bounties in altcoins and the bounty requires users to do something low effort (the bounty reminds more of a giveaway than providing an actual service; e.g. post a single or a couple of tweets, follow, like a Facebook page, etc.) then the signup for the bounty should be either off-site or via PM.

It looks like theymos has added a new rule regarding the sale of invites/accounts:
Quote from: theymos
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hacked-invitesaccounts-are-not-allowed-1785577
You are only allowed to sell accounts/invites that you legally obtained yourself or through legitimate trades. If you did anything illegal in order to obtain an item, then you can't trade it on bitcointalk.org. Anyone found breaking this rule will be banned.

Added clarification in regards to one of the FAQ questions (as I'm tired of repeating myself in PMs; change highlighted):

There are so many rules!

But extortion, blackmail, and mob rule, is fine here. So why care about rules?
If you feel someone broke the law, contact your local authorities and file a police report. We're neither judge, nor jury, nor the executioner when it comes to enforcing laws around the world.
It could be reasonably argued, thats exactly what Lauda should have done, instead of acting as the threatening executioner.   
It does seem so, though let's keep this on topic. The ethics of a user's actions should be discussed in it's own topic.

For example, if in a 14 day period you post 14 posts, you gain +14 activity.
If you post 2 posts in a 14 day period, you gain +2 activity.
If you don't post at all in a 14 day period, you don't gain activity.
However, if you post 15 or more posts in a 14 day period, you still gain only +14 activity.

So there is a cap on how quickly your activity can accumulate, 15 posts per 14 days to gain 14 activity per two weeks max?

Fixed it.

Also how about losing activity can you ever lose activity?

Yes, if all your posts for an activity period are deleted you lose all 14 points of activity.

It says if you don't post at all you don't gain activity, but can you lose it?

There is no decay over time, no.

Hello, may I ask why Spotniek is still around? He's broken nearly all of the being rude, trolling, posting irrelevant rant rules. If MPOE was banned for it, why is this dude still invading every thread in existence?

He might have a good opinion, but hes absolutely rude, belittling, and I can safely say that I see him in too many threads to say it's good for the public image of bitcoin. I've not once seen him be nice or respectful & quite frankly add anything of substance to any thread I see him post in, he just rehashes the same thing over and over.
AFAIK he's been temp-banned for his behavior (primarily blatant trolling) several times. If you see more of such behavior, feel free to use the "Report to Moderator" link to inform the staff. However, being rude, unpleasant or posting rants isn't a bannable offense on it's own.

Terminated.
You mean, appearing to promote another consensus implementation, other than the currently running/adopted one, is not allowed??
Consensus implementation (e.g. Bitcoin Core, Bitcore) != consensus breaking implementation (e.g. Bitcoin Classic). However, it would not get removed but just moved to the Altcoin section or something. It's more on a case-by-case basis.

Does the post below constitute spamming or can it be posted?
-snip-
I do not understand the exact context of that thread. PM me a preview with the section that you want to post it in.

If i wanted to posit an opinion about Core, where on this forum can i do that, without the post getting deleted?
As long as you do not FUD (strong and reasonable criticism != FUD) or try to promote potentially consensus breaking implementations, then Bitcoin Discussion is the section for it.

It will be moved to the alt section.
