Theymos: "Approximately 1 year from now" XP
Uh oh. We're nearing "2 years from now"! Has Theymos given us an update on the new forum? I literally can't wait.

For example, if I was a moderator and I genuinely thought that posting about other cryptocurrencies that are not Bitcoin was against the rules, I could just ban everyone that makes such an action.
Moderators do not ban members, it is usually done by either BadBear or theymos. You're welcome. For example, if I was a moderator and I genuinely thought that posting about other cryptocurrencies that are not Bitcoin was against the rules, I could just ban everyone that makes such an action.

Number 25 really needs to go.
Why? Its the only reason a ban has a lasting affect on persistant spammers.
For example, if I was a moderator and I genuinely thought that posting about other cryptocurrencies that are not Bitcoin was against the rules, I could just ban everyone that makes such an action. There needs to be a set of rules to follow, and number 25 is implying self made rules created by moderators, and not rules that were made in agreement of the entire community or staff.
As for Lauda and their contradictions, I have updated my post in my "PSA: Lauda: a staff member's contradictions".

It should not go. Anyone who is evading deserves such a punishment.

Just read the whole thread and it was a great source of information. I am now sure what to do and what not and it will be absolutely important in my stay on bitcointalk.org to follow the rules.
Thank you so much mprep, for this post.

My point was actually that because a lot of terms (i.e. altcoin, cryptocurrency, etc.) do not have a direct (or official) translation in most languages that it would be difficult. I was actually spending more time figuring out how properly add things like 'FUD'. If you understand German or Croatian (doubtful), you could use those for help (I did not check the other two translations). I usually left links explaining some terms that have no direct translation or have one that I'm not aware of.
Well, we can understand it better if terms that were used are either Taglish (or mixed Tagalog and English) or pure Filipino. It's true that there are some words that cannot be translated directly into another language, but mixing local and foreign words into a sentence to create context is always a good workaround with these kind of translations. Word for word translation isn't that much needed as long as there is context among what is written.
-snip-
For the parts of the german translation I helped write I tried to add a bit more info to translate the spirit of the rule. I think it also helps if several people work on this as its easier to keep it updated (there are a few changes from time to time) and understandable. Maybe you can get someone to chime in.
I might look on adding some extra details on a certain part of the OP wherein it is a bit complex to understand in our own language when translated. And you're right, it is better to have someone who can help me start with translating. Doing this alone would require me a lot of time (though there isn't a need for it to be rushed.)

One quick question, if this is just an unofficial list of all the forum rules, then where is the thread for the official forum policies?
There is none, and do not ask me why. I couldn't answer that properly (have never bothered to look into it).Thanks for answering. I've tried to look it up but to no avail.
EDIT: Fixed some errors.

Thank you. Time would not be a problem that much, as it will be our break from university this week.

Since I have been seeing a lot of activity in our local thread (Philippines/Pilipinas) can I translate the whole OP into our own language? I must admit that most of us aren't that proficient in English, so translating the whole OP might help my fellow countrymen to better understand what is already stated in this post.
Simply put, yes. Read the bottom of the first post. There have already been 4 translations. A little heads up, translating will be hard and will take some time.Quote

Thank you for posting a compilation of the rules, as a newbie of the forum it has helped me to understand this forum tremendously and I am very thankful.
Spent the last 10 minutes reading these so hopefully they're embedded into my brain for future posting activity.

It used to be when there was no dedicated moderator.Quote

No, such posts are not allowed. Also, it's physically impossible for every post to be checked in the altcoin forums due to the sheer volume of such content and that's where user reports come in.Quote

Yes. Jump to:
