My answer is that I am happy with the current bitcointalk forum and no changes are required.

^The recent change that I noticed is that there is an (OP) text next to the profile name who opened a post thread. But when it comes to software? Make it simple and the forum is fine with the current software. I agree with a few comments above, the forum is fine with the current setup if there are software changes, that would be on the new forum website, the Epochtalk.
Forum Rules may apply and we all know fighting spammers and scammers are the most priority among us here in the forum.
As of now, Bitcointalk is fine, the merit system works fine and it is very effective, additional improvements could be us, or those who are actively reporting posts, we are thankful to the top reporters who deserve to have badges under their profiles.

In the fight against spammers, I would like to have a new rule - 10 or more posts deleted in one week would mean a temporary ban for 7 days, and three such bans would mean a permanent ban. I know there is almost no chance of that, but if a spammer reads it, he might have nightmares just thinking about it Grin

one thing that bitcointalk should do is to stop the Signatures. Whenever there is a debate of removing spam from the forum, the idea of getting rid of signatures is always thrown by a few members.

theymos had it in his mind too. Before the kick off of merit system and months later, he saw that the initial system did not work well so he enhanced it.

Before the kick-off, theymos asked the community with some Ideas for improving post quality?

Quote from: theymos on December 17, 2017, 07:54:08 PM

What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality?

I have mostly ruled out:

- Removing signatures or sig ads globally.
- Requiring payment to wear sig ads.
- Banning account sales.

Enhanced system

There is currently no such thing as a "demerit". I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though.

Quote from: theymos on September 16, 2018, 11:27:20 PM

Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set any signature or personal text.

Do you want to ask for Demerit button in 2023?

Oh wow, we have a lot of wishes from Epochtalk to Reporter badges , mobile apps , 2fa, security and a lot more.

When I started the topic, I had in the back of my mind that there will be people who will come and say, that one thing that bitcointalk should do is to stop the Signatures. Whenever there is a debate of removing spam from the forum, the idea of getting rid of signatures is always thrown by a few members.

Although, I do not agree with this idea, but since no one asked for this change in this thread, so I guess people have changed their minds on

As a big fan of new and modern things, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the updated forum software. From what I've heard, the new version has been in the works for a while now and is almost ready for prime time. It's exciting to think about all the new features and improvements that might be included in this update. I can't wait to see how it will enhance the overall user experience and bring the forum into the modern age. So let's cross our fingers and hope that the release of the updated bitcointalk software is just around the corner.

I will want to see the forum in an advanced way bringing down the effect and roles of spammers whereby if one should be reported for cheating then it shouldn't be coming from the forum here, there should be an advanced measure to increase the sanity of the forum, i will also employ the admin to take a look into the merit sources available on the forum and accept new applicants and remove the old existing but inactive merit source come this 2023.

The classical look of bitcointalk.org has its own swag.
If I want to see something new in bitcointalk.org in 2023 is the alerts like we have in facebook, gmail etc. Right now have to manually check whether someone replied to our post or not. If such feature is added to bitcointalk.org then it will ease out things. Apart from that I dont have anything in mind that I want to see here, as I said the classical look has its own swag.

Being "happy" with the current setup of the forum doesn't necessarily mean that nothing can be improved upon.

If there was to change anything, theymos would have done it already. When the forum admin did not want any changes and think everything is perfect, why do we insist on the changes?

If Theymos didn't want to change anything, then he probably wouldn't have started the Epochtalk project.

Slava Ukraini!

It's simple question, but it's not so easy to answer and I don't know what to say without thinking for some more time. In general, Bitcointalk is stuck in time, without going deep into details forum looks same like in 2010 and probably it's not that easy to implement changes to such old software.
In general, I'm fine with current state of forum. Offcourse, there is lot of room for improvement, like responsive design on mobile but I think it's difficult to expect big changes. In last few years we didn't had any big changes, and in general, what was last significant update. Trust flags maybe?

Maybe because Bitcointalk got so outdated? Since Bitcointalk was launched world has changed a lot and forum got stuck in past.
If it would be so easy to implement changes, probably it wouldn't had taken almost 9 years and counting to make new forum software.
P.S. I'm fine with current forum, but I understand people who ask for changes.

My only wish is to have an update for Epochtalk - a new forum software. As far as I know, since the last update, the new software was mostly done.

Damn, everyone is deadly waiting for this, i really wish it will be available in the next year. But, but I saw the repository's^[1] last commit was way back 2021? So what development happened for this year?
If this is nearly done, announcing it for testing phase^{(on https://beta.bitcointalk.org/)} will be the best thing theymos could ever done for the whole decade ^{(as this development is nearly decade)} next to deploying it.

Notification menu I don't mean it to be like a social media notification alert or anything. If anyone quotes me in their reply, the notification menu bar will show a simple number or sign just like the message menu.

OP wants one wishes from everyone, so I will be happy to see this only change on this forum.

I don't want more changes, but maybe in terms of account security it can be improved. Right now we only have modest security, it comes down to how we have passwords and how we manage them, and apart from all that then increased security is one that I look forward to in 2023.

It doesn't stop there, forum also need to have a few other things like reporting posts with one click. Currently there are extensions that help, but of course when the forum has its own feature, it will be much more great.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain

I’d go along with an oldie (2019): Search engine optimization for local boards.

That, or something along that line, to drive more traffic over to Bitcointalk’s local boards that have a substantial gap between their potential and their factual participation (i.e. the Spanish Local board is extremely lightweight in terms of participation, in relation to the amount of people that speak the language).

Note: It’s rather a complex matter, with younger generations being prone to be less prosaic and more stuck to fast-paced social networks (that normally treat matters thinly), but the gap I referenced before seems something to at least try to tackle at some level.

Changing of Feedback system.

Apply it only for trades. And feedback will be given or exchanged between only the two party who will be involved in trade.

Before a deal, the seller create a topic with the amount he needs. The buyer pay it and update the topic with the trade information. Then a feedback window enable for both buyer and seller to leave feedback for each others. It could be a neutral or positive or negative.

The current feedback system lost it's value.
Forum members do not need an approval of others who will say "This is a good form member" or "This guy is a scammer" or "This is an alt account of mr. x".

I wish to go for this before, but with what you explained, I have a second thought, it can be possible that this can make other members on this forum that are not reporting now to start to report posts and many good posts may be reported which can become a problem for the moderators.

If posts are often reported effectively, I think reporter badges should not be done, theymos can just be making yearly post about good reporers and how they all appreciate their efforts.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem. They need good reporters to get the badges, and if they're reporting inaccurately they aren't going to get them. You could counter this problem by deducting bad reports from the good reports a user makes. The only issue I see with it is it could be short lived. Users will have the motivation in the beginnings to get the highest badge, and then unless we keep adding badges users will stop once they've reached he highest badge.

But, yeah; users reporting inaccurately shouldn't be a problem. We've got enough moderators to deal with it, and it doesn't really effect the moderator much to mark a report bad, instead of good. There might be a few select users that could become problematic if they're just reporting everything, but again that's just counter productive.

Reporter badges Wink

.

Self explanatory, but I think it would help with encouraging reporters. theymos knows this, but obviously has talked about how he wants to implement it correctly, and mitigate abuse of the system. I'd just like to see it implemented even if it's a very basic version. We'd likely have to have some very large tier systems though, as this forum is several years old, and some users have over 100k reports.
