In a world of peaches, don't ask for apple sauce

Quote from: ?? on ??

Hello,

Quote

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]
Examples:

1. Such posts as "SELL SELL SELL", "I agree", "+1", "Support", "Watching", "Interesting", "LOL", "SCAM", "LEGIT", "FAKE", other one word posts, posts consisting mostly of swearing, quote pyramids, useless introduction threads, threads about a topic already recently discussed in several other threads.

Here are links to users posting exactly this:

1. mosprognoz: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52093485
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52094535
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52092932
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52091206
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52091371
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52091452

2. gorbal: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52092760

This isn't where you report posts. Use the "Report to Moderator" link on the bottom right side of said posts (if you haven't already) if they break the forums rules and wait. Sooner or later someone from the staff team will take a look at your reports.

Hi everybody,

I would appreciate if you could confirm is sex proposal for BTC, threats against Girfriends and wives, accusing.lithuanian to be Mazzis, and insukts and explicit sex.proposal are supported by the rules of the forum?

Hi Together

JimmySlander made a good comment here. There is one person with several accounts insulting people badly! Even with some insults ready to be investigated deeper! But moderators keep deleting our posts with facts (Offtopic) but the Insult posts of mosprognoz are still there?

This actually looks very bad to the Forum and makes it questionable!

Read the OP before you post next time:

Quote from: mprep on July 21, 2014, 01:27:51 PM

Q: Do you moderate/delete (possible) FUD, accusations and untrue information?
A: No. We don't have enough time to check every single piece of information and verify the validity of the sources. Also, just like scams - too much room for bias and abuse.

However, trolling isn't allowed. If a user is habitually posting obviously false nonsense ("obviously false nonsense" to an outsider, NOT to someone who follows or is involved in the discussion) just to stir up trouble, then it's considered trolling, which is prohibited. Such cases should be thoroughly documented in the report though (There are tons of reports that just say "trolling", but moderators don't have time to look through each user's post).

Q: Someone insulted me. Why aren't you deleting his post/thread?
A: Possible (since we don't have the time or resources to check) insults are also allowed as long as they contain any kind of constructive opinion, info or something else substantial and aren't off-topic. For example, posting something like "you are dumb" will be deleted as it contains no meaningful content. However, if the post is somehwere along the lines of "You are dumb. This is wrong because this website/thread/etc. has explained it's not right", it's in most cases accepted.

Please update the list.

The examples you listed are in Service Announcements (did they get moved?)

No, my mistake, they were in Service Announcements in the first place. Had to many tabs opened Embarrassed

Quote from: suchmoon on July 15, 2019, 10:18:32 AM

Also:

Quote

Service Announcements
New services and significant information about existing services. Do not create excessive "announcements" just to advertise your service.

At any rate, the threads seem to be spammy and redundant, report them and let the moderators apply their discretion.

Lol, this is one embarrassing situation after another, I checked that section twenty times for a sticky with the rules but never read the description.
Off to increase my report numbers!!! Let's see how many mistakes I make with those.... Embarrassed

I'm curious about the rules that apply in Service discussion

The examples you listed are in Service Announcements (did they get moved?), which is under Marketplace, which has this rule:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13800200

Quote

5. Reasonably similar* items must be listed together

*at moderator discretion

I'm curious about the rules that apply in Service discussion before I start hitting the report button.
So the only rule I can find that comes close to this case is:

12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).

So, technically this user bankdex (and many others) are not breaking the above rule but it's clear the multiple topics they've started are a clear abuse:

BANKDEX SMART SIMULATOR SYSTEM
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51830227

BANKDEX OFFICIAL CHAT
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51830181

BANKDEX AMBASSADORS
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51819841

“CRYPTO TO CRYPTO” & “FIAT TO CRYPTO”
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51748183

"BANKDEX LIFE INSURANCE"
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51737936

And he's not the only one:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=2515714;sa=showPosts

Bottom line, should I report them Huh

Why is this report marked as bad:

Quote from: ?? on ??

Where can I see more news about this project? I see, that the team is working. Some results and updates are available. but I want to be aware.

Only thing Mariia wants to be aware is to make as many posts she/he/it can (I said "IT" because I am pretty sure some posts which are reported look like they are posted by a bot).

It is post burst:

I am having hard time to understand why this one is bad and all others are good.

Before I start making post on here besides this one I have a question in regards to Rule 4 of posting 4. No referral code (ref link) spam. [1]

If you are the OP and the crypto program or content that is being shared is this allowed if it has not been posted before? Or is this not allowed in any way shape or form? Thanks in advance..

It’s not allowed. I believe you can only do that if you’re the owner of the website being announced and you want to track which clicks came from the forum (for analytics purposes).

Some typos in the Guidelines I spotted Wink

Quote

Q: Someone insulted me. Why aren't you deleting his post/thread?
A: Possible (since we don't have the time or resources to check) insults are also allowed as long as they contain any kind of constructive opinion, info or something else substantial and aren't off-topic. For example, posting something like "you are dumb" will be deleted as it contains no meaningful content. However, if the post is somehwere along the lines of "You are dumb. This is wrong because this website/thread/etc. has explained it's not right", it's in most cases accepted.

Quote

Q: Why do I get the "The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago." error when I haven't posted today?
A: Logging in, sending PMs and reporting posts to a moderator will also be counted as posting and extend this limit back to 360 seconds. Don't worry: as your activity increases, the 360 second limit will decrease as well. Here you can see the algorithm how the posting limit is caluclated based on your activity: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4131557

Good catch, fixed both. A user PMed me about the second one a while ago but I didn't get around to fixing it until now.

Ask theymos (see rule 24's explanation for details).

The updated Trust (as well as Trust flag) FAQ questions are still in progress. Might take a while, might not - really depends on when I find the time and energy to sit down, research and write them.
