Bump. Removed the question marks from a few rules as I encountered enough situations for me to fully confirm that those rules are still active. The list/thread is somewhat complete although good suggestions and new rules as they come out will be added. Made a few minor changes to the text (removed or changed) to reflect that.

Do you happen to have a list of changes? Improbable, I know, but I have to try Wink

. It's for updating the spanish translation.

Yeah, would be nice for the german translation too. I can see there are no question marks any more.

That's a slippery matter. As I experienced, most of the threads in Reputation is to allow users leave feedback. As this is focused on the negative aspect and aimed at one situation rather than reputation in general, I think that Scam accusations somewhat fits. If any other mod thinks otherwise, he'd move it.

Threads in 'Reputation' are about positive feedback but a few negatives are also there. I don't think it is mainly focused for feedback but it all we can see.

It was first posted in 'Meta'. When I reported the post, IIRC it was moved to 'Reputation' but then it was moved to 'Scam Accusations'. I don't think this was done by one mod. Thanks for replying!

If any other staff/mod see this, I would like to get a reply on this. Different persons may have different opinions/views. Thanks!

What about posts like these^[1]? Shouldn't it actually fit in Reputation? It's not like a 'Scam Accusation' but more like about 'Reputation'.

Bump and I also have a question. I am not sure if posts like these[1] should be in scam accusation, but rather in gambling. I could not find a definite post about this, but isnt scam accusations about individuals and not about services, casinos, etc.?

[1] https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unbelievable-999dice-fixes-their-system-and-sneaks-in-a-new-scam-tactic-971447

I think it fits in Scam accusations as it highlights unfair and unethical methods used by the owner. Gambling is for gambling site announcements and general Bitcoin gambling discussion. Positive or semi-positive threads about gambling sites should go to Service discussion and the negative ones to Scam accusations.

Is there a rule that threads like these should be moved to the archival board?

Depends. Some threads that might not have any replies would just be deleted while those qith several replies get moved to Archival. It also depends on the mod that handles the situation.

Partial yes. Some posts are moved to Archival rather than deleting for public proofs.

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.

Perhaps you and any anyone else could add it to yours?

Sure, hopefully some people will benefit from it, I just thought it would most be effective among the staff.

Personally I think it should be stickied. I think adding a link to this thread that gets sent along with the deleted posts urging people to read the rules would be a good idea also.

Perhaps it would be a good idea for staff to add a link to this thread in their signature as well.

Added in rule 26 with an short explanation:

Quote

26. Local thread rules, if stated properly when the thread was started, specific enough and don't conflict with the forum rules, have to be followed.[e]

Quote

26.

Quote from: theymos on January 10, 2015, 10:10:58 PM

Those were mostly replaced by self-moderated topics, but local rules can be enforced at the moderator's discretion.

Added Quickseller to the credits.

EDIT:

Added an FAQ question, suggested some time ago by dserrano5:

Quote

Q: What about deleting DOXes?
A: Nope, we don't delete them either as long as they are on topic. Why? Because doxing is just compiling information about a user already available publicly, often via search engines.
