Topic: Why are half the threads here completely ridiculous? Honestly. (Read 2610 times)

This is what the forum needs... 
As it won't be anything without these stupid and silly talks, so not much surprising, but yes it's much ridiculous when it comes to asking the same question again and again instead of checking the forum just by using that search box above...

Arrogant much ?

Your own personal tastes and beliefs decide whether or not a post is nonsensical.

What are you looking at?  I registered like 2 years ago, I just lurked.

Thanks for this.

Weird if you reward people for quantity of posts rather than quality the overall quality goes down and quantity of drivel goes up. If you've got capitalist ideals that's great but there's no need to be fundamentalists either. It'd be great to have the main forum here, Bitcoin Discussion, signature free.

50% ridiculous, 25% meaningless. The rest is meaningful. That is like most other forums. Hard disk is cheap.

I don't think we could credit all the stupidity to sig spammers. That would be overlook the greatness of stupidity in our world.

As George Carlin would say, "People are fucking stupid!"

Just get used to it and move on.

I completely agree with you, However, you should be complaining about millions of spammy threads that we can find all over the forum. The administrators should be worried on finding and erasing these threads and scam members.

Lol unfortunately it got hacked a few months ago when BCT had a security breach

Not sure if you're trolling.
You have registered in this forum in june this year if I'm right.So you should know where to find what and whom.
You're complaining about the quality of many threads.Regarding this I assume you have read all those threads.If this should be the case you also know that we have some really competent members here around who post as often as possible.
These guys could be a good source to contact for having a good and serious, maybe more deep discussion if you're really interested.
You just have to pm them! Or ask for skype contacts if you prefer talking instead of writing.
Shouldn't be that difficult right?!
PS: I'm not one of those competent guys!

You can join Danny Hamilton's anti-signature campaign. It is quite a different experience - about 80% of the posts are hidden. Check my signature.

That's the downside of this signature campaign, some will create a thread just for the sake of increasing post count, even if the topic was asked and answered already. Some would even create a loan thread with ridiculous interest rate, amount of loan or no collateral even when user is not that has no trade history yet or newbie just for the sake of increasing post. Some would even ask the obvious.

Yes thous should be in Meta because topic is about the forum.

Yes?

If half the threads here are completely ridiculous, are the other half not as ridiculous?

I think this thread belongs in meta.


Sure there are some bad, useless threads, bit there are also good ones. The mods are doing their best to filter all the bad posts out, give them a break.


Why ARE you in YoBit? You're not begged...

And most of all it means that bitcoin is now the cryptocurrency. Apart form litecoin there really is no competition left. And litecoin is not even actual competition but more like a complementary currency to bitcoin. Point is that it's easier for newcomers to know what to buy. You buy bitcoins (and litecoins if you feel like it) and that's it.
The world of cryptos seems more united in the eyes of newcomers too.

At least that's how I see it.

altcoin at that time were so strong that signature cmpaign was useless, for earning

earning with altcoin was the best thing at that time, but right now the opposite is true

as i see it is the natural step of the evolution

You have partially right.

Have right because the problem you mentioned in your main post is true. To many threads are ridiculous if we see what they treat, their thoughts or their comments. But not only the authors of the threads. Even to many of them who comments on those have the same "nerve", the same "beauty" the same level of expression or thoughts. And i want to add even something else. Most of them are the most long ones.

And there where we are with your partially right. These threads cannot be and don't need to be deleted. If there are people who comment and this kind of threads are very long mean that most of the people who write here find themselves in that kind of thread. You want to exclude them from the right of expression. Cannot be made. Not everyone may have a bachelor or may have a master or more. Most of them are simple people. But with someone strong which make them important (everyone of them) for our community: their love for bitcoin and their desire to be bitcoiner. This is enough to be be fully respected in their being. In the way they are made and exist. If you don't like such threads you simply don't enter on those. If you want to comment in their threads (I made this almost always) you can try to give them something from yourself in order that the next time they create a better thread or make another better comment. Or even kidding with them: especially with them who think that are superior (on their being "stupid").

So help, acceptance and jesting and not exclusion or/and penalization. We want to be more and more and not less and less.
 

I am quite unhappy with the quality of posts on this forum nowadays myself.
Maybe getting rid of the option of signature campaigns would help to bring it back to the level of 2013.
