Topic: What’s wrong with Gambling Discussion board - page 2. (Read 515 times)

Perhaps the answer could be making sure signature campaigners do not post vague stuff is the responsibility of the bounty managers. And even if EVERY post was made to be productive, there would still be too many posters. So I think the issue is either setting stricter signature campaign limits or by setting stricter regulations on who is allowed to advertise/join such campaigns and how they should conduct said campaigns.

But a few moderators might also solve the problem, as you said.

Probably just needs a another dedicated moderator that isn't a global moderator. Although, that might not be true I don't see how many reports are being made in the section, so without those reports, it might be fighting a uphill battle.

I've seen pretty much across the entire forum though that the attitude has sort of changed towards reporting. While, we used to have quite a few dedicated reporters, we've seem to have lost that. Now, that might be because they don't agree with how their reports are being handled or even a partial amount of them, but there's definitely been a attitude change.

I'd like to see us get back to the levels we were at before, but we probably need to make a few changes before that. Mainly, more moderators or at the very least having a few more dedicated moderators to sections that don't have them.

Gambling Discussion is quite wild at the moment. Reminds me of 2017 in the Altcoin section. I bet I could probably report 500-1000 reports a day there, and not make much of a dent. The spam has quite frankly got out of hand. The problem with it is there's a ton of vague posts there that if you aren't familiar with the sport might seem legitimate. For example, I don't watch basketball, and have no clue about it. If someone reports a post there that the user is just being very vague, and probably hasn't even watched the game, it's not always easy to tell if you don't watch it yourself. I see this a lot with the football threads, and boxing threads.

It got them confused probably to what you are doing    First, you wanna send XRP or Doge to a Casino and withdraw BTC going to another casino account. It branches out to holding your coins in the casino wallet which they would react to it.

It's true though those campaign participants are up to achieving the number of posts required to get paid and could end up straying the topic elsewhere.

It's often difficult to get relevant answers to questions that don't have a clearly defined structure. It is obvious that there is also a language barrier, so in the future try to be more direct and specific in your questions, and also try to use simple language. This will help you get better results.

If you ask a question in a way that doesn't make sense, then you're going to get an answer that doesn't make sense.

If you feel that a reply to your post is off-topic, it's okay to report it to the moderators so they can delete the comment. The moderators are there to help keep the forum clean.


This is true most of the time. Just keep in mind that the Meta board is reserved exclusively for forum-related questions and comments.

Welcome to Bitcointalk, whereby over 50% of the responses on almost every thread are just repeating the same thing(s) over and over for the weekly quota. You'll get used to it, not just on the Gambling Discussions subforum.

But just to give you an advice, you might want to avoid converting cryptos through casinos. After all like you said, you'd have to wager the deposits and you might not be so lucky to keep your balance intact once the losses start kicking in.

If you wanna take advantage of the markets, keep the coins in a cold/ hardware wallet. Only gamble with the funds you can afford to lose.

This topic was started on 24th November which is yesterday, and was last edited today, I believe somehow that through the edit you did today, you changed some phrases to make the post better understandable, I do not know what the initial post was like, but I go with what stompix said.
The way you phrase your words in a sentence really plays an important role on how users will understand your post and what kind of comments they will chip in, though this does not rule out the fact that low quality posters will still spam, but in the situation where the OP fail to phrase the post in a way that it will be easily understood by everyone or atleast, the majority of reader, the OP shouldn't blame commenters for posting comments that are outrightly out of point.

In a post where you know most people will have a hard time understanding what you mean, to help them understand what you mean, you give illustrations, like an example that will help explain what the post is all about...
This is how you help your readers understand you and give you better comments that are on point of the topic..

And like I said above, doing this does not mean that low quality posters won't still spam, they will, but the spams will be insignificant or even unnoticeable if the majority of readers clearly understand the OP.

The gambling board is a spam fest but just look back at how you asked people for help with your problem:


Nearly anyone reading this would identify you losing your money while gambling as the problem that needs to be solved, not how to dodge the fees you're losing in transferring coins and how to avoid withdrawing fees. Common, that board has far more problems than one which could have been easily solved by asking directly the question, not going through really confusing details, you basically locked the topic with the message that would have been the first.

Adding local rules and/or make it a self-moderated topic will keep spams on your threads.

About your case, it's the same how i usually do. I always use xrp or any other alt/token cheaper fee the is supported on both platform i used.
To be honest, i don't have any or tried other alternatives ^{(if there is any)} besides it when avoiding fixed a bit expensive fee on exchange.

For your safety, i will avoid sending funds directly from an exchange to any gambling platform because of legal reasons that connects your exchange fund to gambling.

I made a topic(https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5422966) yesterday about asking help to find alternative way on my current method of dodging high withdrawal fee for Bitcoin on exchange using casino. I know how complicated is this if you are not aware or didn’t know the actual experience so I understand if there will be a lot of clarification post but instead I keep receiving a general or repetitive post that is not answering directly the main question.

I’m just so upset that if this post is made on other board. The normal response should be ignore the thread if you don’t know the answer but the response is different on the gambling discussion board. Out of bunch replies, Only less than 5 people actually understand the content and answer on topic while the rest is just really not helpful. 


Self moderated topic is a must in there.
