Did we get clarifications from the admin on multi-posting?
That thread continues to grow (25 posts from him yesterday)...
Well he is still getting paid from the sig campaign(Bit-x) , so yeah a sufficient amount of sig spam right there. It was there since ages ago, I thought I'd report it when I saw it on the Bit-x campaign thread(when he was complaining not getting paid and then later said he wouldn't spam and all and got paid) , I thought it would be quite obvious to any moderator and he'd be banned soon. Kinda forgot about it since then

isnt that breaking this rule:
13. Bumps, "updates" are limited to once per 24 hours.[2]

or is this only valid for marketplace (lol...just noticed it even is in Marketplace/Gambling)?

Is making consecutive posts acceptable?
There was a discussion on this here, but I would like this to be clarified.

An example is this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1066885.1780

The last 100+ posts have been made by the same user.
Multiple posts in a single day....

That's fucking ridiculous. He has over 250 posts all in a row talking to no one but himself and he's already nearly made ten posts today alone. It's clear nobody is interested in his tips and is likely only doing it for signature payment but there's no reason why the daily updates can't all be in one post. I've notified Marco but at the very least I reckon it's spam and violates the one bump per 24 hour rule but not sure how that should be handled as there's a major clean up needed. I've asked the admins for clarification on double/multi-posting but in my opinion it's blatant spam and completely unnecessary (and same goes for others double/triple/quadruple posting when there's no apparent need for it).

Urban dictionary is not a creditable source. Anyone would know that. It is basically like wikipedia which is an online source made by everyone, for everyone. Ask a teacher who has been a teacher for several years in the art of journalism. They will tell you the same words I'm telling you. You'll need a creditable source such as Google or Webster.

Google is a credible source? Please tell your teacher they need to quit their job. Anyway. No they dont need a credible source, in fact the staff here needs no source at all. They can just define spam in the way that is to be understood here. It might be confusing for some, it might even be irritating for some, but there is no need to have credible source for the rules of a private forum.
Please refrain from belittling teachers for doing their jobs correctly. You do not have a degree in teaching journalism, so you have no right to belittle any of the teachers I know of.

In fact I do, have a right to belittle anyone that I deem fit to be belittled. Teaching Google as a credible source would explain Fox News though.

This is not a private forum if it is open to the public for anyone to sign up.

Still private, even if the doors are open.

Therefore, it does not belong to one single person.

Thats not a requirement for private property, what you have in mind is personal property.

If it did, only one person would log in, which would not make it a forum. When describing Bitcoin or Bitcoin forums, refrain from terms such as "private" in order to avoid this currency or this forum having a very excluding image. We need diversity, and we need a large community.  We need people to join, and not feel intimidated to do so. That is how the currency grows.
Private, personal. Not identical, but both quite similar. Okay. If you want to, I suppose you can belittle someone's degree.

Have a good day.

While 'refraining' mode is on, how about you refraining from posting tendentious crap at every opportunity?
Your mixture of fantasy and facile opinion is boring and contentless, the true definition of spam.

In all honesty, I don't really believe you understood the nature of the comment.


It is not something that can truly be answered in a sense. As for trolling and spamming, there is a set definition on the internet.

I'm not completely sure if I even understand the official unofficial rules. In my humble opinion, it seems as though they were not well thought out.

The interpreted definition of spam and trolling is incorrect in the OP. It also doesn't sound very professional to post documents of someone without their consent. That's a breach of privacy. For example, if you repost a photo from someone's Facebook, that's fine because they clearly don't mind sharing their photos as long as it is a public Facebook. Anything that is set private, but posted publicly is a breach of privacy.

I'm not completely sure if I even understand the official unofficial rules.
Unofficial list, as in not made by the admin. Official rules, as in rules that apply in Bitcointalk.

Also, see notice on top of the thread:
In my humble opinion, it seems as though they were not well thought out
These rules were gathered by me from various, sticky threads, advice from administrators and other moderators and my experience as a Bitcointalk moderator.

There is no incorrect definition. It's the definition that applies here (not everywhere in the internet), in Bitcointalk.

It also doesn't sound very professional to post documents of someone without their consent. That's a breach of privacy. For example, if you repost a photo from someone's Facebook, that's fine because they clearly don't mind sharing their photos as long as it is a public Facebook.

Q: What about deleting DOXes?
A: Nope, we don't delete them either as long as they are on topic and the information can be obtained legally (no SSNs for example). Why? Because such doxing is just compiling information about a user already available publicly, often via search engines.

Multiple posts in a single day....

That's fucking ridiculous. He has over 250 posts all in a row talking to no one but himself and he's already nearly made ten posts today alone. It's clear nobody is interested in his tips and is likely only doing it for signature payment but there's no reason why the daily updates can't all be in one post. I've notified Marco but at the very least I reckon it's spam and violates the one bump per 24 hour rule but not sure how that should be handled as there's a major clean up needed. I've asked the admins for clarification on double/multi-posting but in my opinion it's blatant spam and completely unnecessary (and same goes for others double/triple/quadruple posting when there's no apparent need for it).
I understand double/triple or even quadruple posting in one thread (in very rare cases) if you were replying/responding to multiple people/posts/concerns/points, however I cannot think of any good reason why someone would legitimately need to post 200x in a row in the same thread.

That person's relationship with marco is very strange as IIRC marco had said that he had lent ~1BTC (why I don't know) to that person when he was asking a loan a few months ago.

I would suggest that an immediate best course of action would be to lock that thread as there is fairly clearly no conversation going on in that thread despite it being bumped multiple times per day/hour.

That thread could be trashed and nobody will be any poorer.  Wink
Once the admins clarify, we can add this to the list of rules.

What is NSFW images ?
 give detailed definition please Huh

Would you want to be looking at that image at work and would it cause you trouble if you were caught doing so? I'd say yes, so it's NSFW.
