Bitcoin Forum

I was banned for bumping posts too much, I had been posting news stories from BitcoinNews.com in a single thread with each story as a single post. I put tons of work into this and the thread was gaining steam, and I think it's a big shame if it remains locked like it is now...

I think a good compromise is if this thread is restored, and then I batch all the articles from a day into a single post. So instead of about 7 new posts a day there would just be 1. Sound good?'

Any chance the thread can be moved back to Bitcoin Discussion too? I thought it was more appropriate there. Regardless, as long as it gets restored I'll be happy, and then I'll only make 1 new post a day.

There is the press board for news stories and notable ones worth discussing are posted on the main board. But posting every crypto related links (own website) on the discussions board is kind of spamming, even if it's restricted to a single thread.

The thread has around 3000 views, but there is no active discussion, 98% of posts are your own so IMO locking does make sense.

Edit: You can't create a single thread for all news stories on press board, one thread for one article, no duplicate content.

Actually, at least 5 people said they loved the thread and bookmarked it because they could go to it for all their news in one spot. That makes it a good thing for Bitcointalk.

In regards to the spamming concerns, I will batch the posts for a day into one post, so only one post a day. Can you link me to the press board? If the news thread I started is going to remain locked, I'll start a new one there.

I am sure that you have already been answered above to your request. Do not create your own rules. On the forum have already formed their own. Listen and stick. Then there will be no blocking.

I just want an answer from a mod on what to do in the future, basically a clarification on the rules, and perhaps some help to restore this thread, since I won't bump it more than once a day.

So, you have been banned for bumping and in this thread you're back to bumping 3 times in a row in 3 hours? Clever move!


He has 1000 posts in 3 months, 10 new topics in the already full if duplicates and clickbait press section ?  :'(

I haven't posted anything in the press section, or anywhere but this meta thread, since I came back.

I'm re-reading this thread, apparently I could post these in press section? That works for me... will wait a little longer to see if a mod can come by and clarify. I'd like to hear this from someone official.

Banned for breaking the rules, doesn't read the rules, wants moderators to let him break more rules, and then breaks the same rule again in this thread. Amazing.

That entire thread is/was pointless. Not only were you breaking the rules by multiple posts in a row (since barely anyone else commented at all) and multiple bumps per day, but the thread served no purpose other than advertising your website. There was no discussion and no conversation. We don't need every article you publish posted here - if people are interested, they can just bookmark your website.

The press board is for notable Bitcoin press. The articles that you link to, such as "Investor Insight: Dogecoin (DOGE) and Reddcoin (RDD)" and "Steem Blockchain down a Week Before Hard Fork" are neither notable nor about Bitcoin. Spamming the press board with such nonsense will likely get you banned again.

This is actually the only way to contact admins or mods it seems, with a meta thread, and I'm having a conversation here trying to figure this out. Responding to posts in this thread cannot be considered breaking the rules.

Thanks for the clarification on how posting articles in the press section would get me banned. Exactly why I need a real admin to contact me and tell me how to exactly follow the rules. Once again, I have not posted in the press section ever.

I am not proposing to break the rules in any way, I want an admin or mod to tell me how to post articles without breaking the rules.


Can I get some people in here who actually want to help, instead of trying to make me look bad? This is an innocent question: how should I make a news thread and post in it where I won't be breaking rules?

Certainly there's a sub-forum on Bitcointalk where I can make a single thread and a single post per day without breaking the rules???

No, but posting three times in a row is breaking the rules, which you would know if you had read them.



That would be Bitcoin Discussion. However, a thread that just serves as spammy advertising for your website, with no discussion or original posts, would likely be locked again as uninteresting and low-value.
