Topic: You guys are really fucking up here. - page 3. (Read 4895 times)

 For the newbie's that sounds fine. Great. But this isn't about giveaways.


 Over, and Out-a-here.


 Good Night, and Good Luck.

 So..., you know where I am headed.



Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware!

A revolt, lol. Some of you guys are blowing this a tad out of proportion.

 Some of us have been members of https://cryptocointalk.com/ for quite some time.

 It just needs a little event like this to make a ground swell movement.

 After all we're treated like red headed step children here, and worse!


 It's enough to make me quit supporting bitcoin, if it didn't have such a giant lead.

 They owe some of us. see below:

RE: https://bitcoin.org/ = that https , yea, your welcome. But don't bother saying
thank you for mentioning it, again and again, so we could get our act just a little
more together.


 This will turn into a bitcointalk.org REVOLT. In fact I just started to REVOLT.

Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware!

Have you guys ever moved into a brand new apartment building? Or maybe even a brand new neighborhood? Actually there are a lot of similarities. It often goes like this:

You are one of the first to get your keys, you barely ever see someone when you leave your house or come home. You never have to wait for the elevator. You never hear any of your neighbors, since there are none.

Then suddenly you start noticing it is getting busier. You have to wait before the elevator arrives. It is not by default at your floor anymore. You start meeting people in the hallway.

This is fun at first. You knew it was going to happen, but you are glad you are finally not alone anymore in the building.

After some more time your new neighbors are starting to annoy you. You actually liked the building being quiet. The elevator is always on the top floor, when you are at the ground level, or the other way around. You start hearing noises from neighbors, someone dropped something, someone slammed that door shut a little to hard. That b*tch from the 2nd floor is constantly taking your favorite parking spot.

Some people do not move further from this point on. But hey, maybe you shouldn't have moved to an apartment building in the first place if you want to be all on you own? Most people luckily realize that it's all in the game, and that they knew on forehand this would happen. The quiet period was nice, but actually it was that period that was out of the ordinary. Most people then start to get along with their neighbors, start to realize that you can't blame the guy from the top floor to take the elevator. You actually dropped a plate yourself last night. And that b*tch from the 2nd floor? She actually is an elderly lady, who can't walk that far anymore, so you leave the spot next to the door for her next time.

Let's hope that the people who moved into bitcointalk first belong to the second category of people, not the first.

 I was thinking about heading here: https://cryptocointalk.com/

 This place isn't welcoming.

 
 Post a sticky, give 30 days, then close the alt coin section.
=====================================

 Force the issue. Can't say I will miss much else here since
there isn't much else I desire to bother with except for the
alt. coin section.

 Just remember: there really is a paddle for every ass.

The bitcoin ELITE have become the very entity they thought they were rallying against....i think its sort of amusing to watch.  You can TASTE the hypocrisy.....but that normal....fight the MAN until I GET MINE...then fuck everybody else.

What if someone would have shut down this forum not so long ago cause they believe bitcoin to be a danger?

a lot of people have moved here and its taking off quite nicely.

http://altcoingiveaways.com/index.php

If early bitcoin holders and people 'dedicated' (note: elitist) to bitcoin can't even reign in on their own forums within reason, without throwing tantrums like this, no wonder the 'original' bitcoin fanatics are losing ground to new waves of commercial and profit seeking average joes (such label by itself implies elitism - funny how those idealists are quickly corrupted by their own ignorance and unpreparedness to face the results of their actions).

Reign in on it within reason. Don't bury it in sub-sub forum. You are in charge. Throwing in the towel now and essentially throwing a tantrum by banning such sections is out of question if you want this whole crypto to be taken seriously.

Idea is to take control, or otherwise create venues in such a way as to bring it in line, not go crying to your almighty delete button  whenever you can't handle the task.

Harsh as it maybe, it's the truth. This is a test of your abilities as administrators, and to do otherwise would be a gross negligence and show of incompetence that you can't even keep your own internet forum going, never mind a 'world-changing-movement-of-cryptocurrency'.

I believe level heads will prevail.

I feel more that its time to suspend your account, if you dont like the altcoin section stay out and dont read it.
Its you that adds no value to anything, because a zero cant add value at all.

I am glad the giveaways were nuked. I can actually navigate the forum now, and new topics are not sent to page 5 in 10 minutes.

What I think is cancerous is how people deem any criticism as "trolling" and then start a wave of "ignore" followed by "+1s." Is this really how we get better? Living in dreams?

Maybe we should start moving to cryptocointalk? Not affiliated in any way btw.

many like alt coins... that means more traffic here also... who doesnt like , has the freedom not to read the alt coin section lol

For me, Alt-coins are as valuable as Bitcoins. If someone doesn't like alt-coins forum, how hard is it to go to your forum settings and ignore those sub-forums?

+1

The bitcoin holders are dicks. Bitcoin need altcoins the same way than altcoins needs bitcoin, one has no value without the other. Look at how much the bitcoin world grows from the altcoins users, all the communities, media, publicity, money in the coins, etc, a lot o people meet with the altcoins first and then get to know bitcoin, like the Megacoin publicity in China or New Zeland.

Come on you guys. Would you like it if all governments came along and legislated Bitcoin/Altcoin and stipulated rules on how altcoins should work? NO.

In the same way we don't want bit/alt coins to be managed by the elite, a lot of us would like the economy decide - i.e. let the forum evolve the way it would naturally. If you don't like it you can always log off and read up comments on Justin Beiber facebook page or something. But let the market decide. Crap coins or innovative coins - let us decide.

Being on a forum for atleast a year! Come on. That's like saying "you can only be old, and grey before you can join our club". You might as well say men only.

I don't think alt coins section will be killed...
All that is needed is a good policy, to minimise spams and advertisements.

Not a big deal.

Use my forum. I'm hosting giveaways there. There's a section for people's giveaways.

http://thisweekscoin.com/forum/index.php

The recent changes have made the forums a lot easier to use. They're cleaner, more organised, and there's less crud.

So I don't see why the alt section should be shut down. I'd like to see it stay. It's a pain to have multiple forums open.

Sure there are quite a few crapcoins, but there's also a lot of fun coins. Dogecoin has become very popular and is introducing a lot of people to crypto currencies and Bitcoin. That wouldn't have happened without the alt section here being so popular.

Compare the attitudes of people in /r/bitcoin and /r/dogecoin. Night & day. Some of the light-heartedness and gentle kindness you see in /r/dogecoin isn't a bad thing. And you can see a good amount of that here as well. That's likely a crowd that's good to keep.

But while there might not be a huge amount of innovation, it's not like we're torturing puppies here in the alt forum.

Meh... Whoever's in charge can do whatever they like. But they'll end up driving a lot of people away. Those that hate alts simply don't have to read the alt forum. Is that so hard?

1) It's not the people who view Alternate coins sections daily. It's the senior/hero members, ones who are die-hard bitcoin supporters, those are the ones spreading FUD to cause such an incident.

2) I love these alt-forums, but if the owners and whoevers ideology is going to cause a shut down, then there will always be another forum to take its place and traffic revenue.

3) There is no reason to shut down these forums. The problems can be solved in 2 minutes, if so the owner chooses.

I think (not really me) what people wanted was a giveaway section to promote alt-coins. Just create another child forum here and the problem will be solved.


Lastly, The alt-forum has increased in quality of posts, so the intention of the owner has been fulfilled.
