Title: Why was my post deleted? Post by: taskly on January 23, 2019, 04:16:51 AM Quote from: Bitcoin Forum A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. Quote I'm curious to see what people think about this. That was the final sentence at the end of a post. I'll repeat the post here, I have it saved because I thought and wrote about it over a period of days. Quote Where should we focus for 2019? No matter how you look at it, 2018 was a horrible year for the entire cryptocurrency scene. Bitcoin was at the forefront of all of this. Frankly, it doesn't matter what top 100 market cap coin you're invested in. The price movements between the coins correlate massively. You can see this by observing the entire market cap. There is no such thing as pure diversification in cryptocurrency. The events of 2018 have destroyed the trust of many. There is apparent manipulation. There is a lack of spending within the cryptocurrency economy. There is a lack of production within the cryptocurrency economy. The price movements have been entirely driven up due to manipulation from a select few. This speculation is foolish and it has done no good for the cryptocurrency community. In what ways are we actually better off from the substantial rise in price? We've seen companies refuse cryptocurrency as a payment option. People have stupidly bought into the hype. There has been losses attributed to cryptocurrency. The news coverage has never been more bleak. It's easy to blame external forces. Blame the government. Blame the federal reserve. Blame what you want. It does nothing to solve the fundamental problems that cryptocurrency has. I believe the problem isn't with the government. The issue has everything to do with ourselves and cryptocurrency itself. In its current form, to call cryptocurrency a 'currency' is a stretch. There was a $600 billion speculation on the entirety of cryptocurrency. The actual exchange of goods and services using cryptocurrency wouldn't even be 10% of that. Who is actually using cryptocurrency as a 'currency'? Let's be honest, nobody but a dedicated few. Most people are in cryptocurrency to make a short-term profit. So much for Bitcoin taking over the world. The people who use cryptocurrency want to sell out for USD, the allegedly doomed currency. The increase in market cap was entirely down to speculation. We're supposed to be against stupid bubbles. Bitcoin was itself a response to the 2008 Financial Crisis caused by the pumping of the real estate bubble. The boom and bust cycle does nothing for real growth. Indexed, we're only marginally better off than we were in 2008. In regards to the cryptocurrency economy, the same applies. The responsible way to develop the cryptocurrency economy is to look at the fundamentals. People are too focused on unrealistic and frivolous projects to grow the cryptocurrency economy. I embrace the knowledge economy wholeheartedly, but not at the expense of the production, resource or service economy. These basics have been overlooked by the cryptocurrency sphere. Why do we need 50 coins (forks) which do the same thing? There are plenty of coins pegged to a USD in the CoinMarketCap 100. There are plenty of coins which do the same task as Bitcoin. In what way do these so-called projects increase the practical reach of cryptocurrency into the lives of people? We have to be realistic and practical about the issues cryptocurrency faces. The ideology of sitting on your thumbs, doing nothing, has failed us. Passiveness is a failure. By no means am I advocating for central-planning or economically authoritarian measures. I'm advocating for fundamental capitalist principles. Supply and demand. The needs of consumers. The development of an economy. The richest economies on earth are capitalist, yet they have rules. By no means are these countries a failure. If we want a reasonable increase in market cap, cryptocurrency needs to accommodate for goods and services. It needs to function like an economy. Fortunately we have solutions that already address the issue of goods. A good example being OpenBazaar. The issue of services is more mucky. I believe we need to prioritise services over goods. Most goods sold aren't done on a business-to-consumer basis. It's largely business-to-business. Where cryptocurrency can gain its own value is by service creation. Service creation is a no-brainer for cryptocurrency. We can improve the value of cryptocurrency by simply expending time and energy to create utility. People will request services, they will be rendered, this will increase the value. As the quality and category of work improves, the value will too. As jobs will require more knowledge and effort, we will see this reflected in the overall price and size of the cryptocurrency economy. This doesn't require the flooding of dollars to pump up the market. It requires ingenuity and the hard-work of others. The resource that the cryptocurrency will be fundamentally based on is people. This will make it independent and stronger than currencies like USD which is heavily dependent on debt than resources or manufacturing. Not only does rendering services create value, it will inspire people to better themselves to create quality products. They will utilise skills the have and offer them. If you can do the job, you're part of the solution. The type of work needs to be based in the real world. The digital gig economy is severely limited in categories and scope. Where can you find a person to walk your dog? Where can you find someone to mow your lawns? Where can you find a mechanic? It's most certainly not on a website like Fiverr or Freelancer. It's not even an option online, aside from some classified boards. When applied on a global scale, services and cryptocurrency has the fundamental power to change the economy of the world. People will have a chance to offer what they're good at, at competitive prices, to a wide range of customers. Not only will workers earn, they will also be consumers for other products. As spending increases, and more services are rendered, the overall economy will increase and this will be reflected in the market cap. Again, you don't need to speculate to grow. This is fundamental basic economics. I'm curious to see what people think about this. This is censorship. If that last sentence was irrelevant, why not just edit it out? Deleting the entire post and the other paragraphs does nothing to improve discussion or spread ideas in the marketplace of ideas. Ridiculous performance from the mods here if you ask me.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0 Take some time, read through the rules and continue using the forum after you understand them more fully. Title: Re: Why was my post deleted? Post by: YOSHIE on January 23, 2019, 06:15:12 AM Rules:
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e] 2. No off-topic posts. 3. No trolling. Forum and Mod, because posts are often deleted by factors, judging that there are some members in the Bitcointalk discussion forum. do topic posts which are considered topics and ordinary criticism. But the forum judged to be out of the rules and ethics of the existing discussion forum. Example: It's easy to blame external forces. Blame the government. Blame the federal reserve. Blame what you want. It does nothing to solve the fundamental problems that cryptocurrency has. I believe the problem isn't with the government. The issue has everything to do with ourselves and cryptocurrency itself. There is no such thing as pure diversification in cryptocurrency. The type of work needs to be based in the real world. The digital gig economy is severely limited in categories and scope. Where can you find a person to walk your dog? Where can you find someone to mow your lawns? Where can you find a mechanic? It's most certainly not on a website like Fiverr or Freelancer. It's not even an option online, aside from some classified boards. You can just make a topic or criticism. (Originally not SARA). But it should not be continuously that seems 'at length, a little but meaningful posting'. Topics and criticism also have limits. as long as the forum value is not feasible, the forum has the right to delete any posts. Please criticize or discuss the topic in the forum, which the forum needs to know is not allergic to criticism and topics. Moreover, by giving certain 'designations' or 'calls' to other members, the forum judges that it is very inappropriate. ethical norms can be different, but forums also have ethical norms that should be safeguarded especially Meta, bitcoin, economic, local discussions etc. Maybe that was one of the post factors removed. Hopefully this can be a lesson for everyone to keep including me. Title: Re: Why was my post deleted?

Advertisements (including signatures within the post area) in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful." My post fits the definition of having substance. It identifies a problem, explains it, provides a solution. As I said above, all in proper English (UK), correct spelling, grammar and convention. Title: Re: Why was my post deleted? Post by: tmfp on January 23, 2019, 11:58:40 AM I read your original thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5100034.0) and appreciate that you have put thought into your project and wish you well. It's not completely clear to me whether your long post was in an existing thread titled ""Cryptocurrency Needs a New Direction" which has been nuked, or was that thread started by you with that post? Whichever, it's clear that mods are generally deleting threads which have the potential to become spam magnets on generic psuedosubjects and I guess they thought that qualified as such. On reading your main thread over the last few days I did notice that you were breaking the no bump rule by regularly adding small posts within the time limits allowed. So, I'd suggest that your multiple deletions have two reasons; the majority of them for bumping and the long post for being in a generic thread, as is indicated by the times of deletion. https://i.imgur.com/dBS8KAv.png I can understand that you are upset, but don't get paranoid. The old guard are censoring our posts. They don't want to see cryptocurrency succeed. They don't see the utility of adoption and cryptocurrency economic development. Good luck.

Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. Quote I'm curious to see what people think about this. That was the final sentence at the end of a post. Why have you snipped this bit out? Was that in the original post or another post added right after it? If so, then that's why. If it contained the advertising link as suggested above then that's probably why. I haven't snipped it out. That was the reason for why it was deleted. https://i.imgur.com/X2vXGhi.png Then if it was posted directly after the op then it was probably removed for either being a consecutive post, an illegal bump, or just pointless/unnecessary. I don't want to talk about something that is entirely irrelevant, but it's legal to go a few kilometres above speedlimit (in the range of margin error). That renders the one-mile over the speed limit logic invalid. It's wholly relevant. Then what if that person goes one mile over the allowed margin of error? Instant ticket with absolute no chance of getting out of it? What about the sport example? One referee (or moderator) may think something is ok whilst another may not. Whether something is a foul in a sport or not is down to the referee. Some are clear cut and other's aren't. From one angle something may look like a foul but not from another. Spectators sometimes have a better or worse angle than the referee and as such may also disagree. Mods are people and not a connected hive mind and enforce the rules as best they can. Sometimes they make mistakes and sometimes people don't like it, but that's life. Anyway, regardless of any analogies (relevant or not), your post was probably removed for one of the reasons I stated above so it's best to read the rules to make sure this doesn't happen again.

@Tasky your post deleted may have things for forum security or something else. Try to see what i found? Link: https://medium.com/@taskly/cryptocurrency-needs-a-new-direction-41df9ac6aaa6 Where should we focus for 2019? No matter how you look at it, 2018 was a horrible year for the entire cryptocurrency scene. Bitcoin was at the forefront of all of this. Frankly, it doesn’t matter what top 100 market cap coin you’re invested in. The price movements between the coins correlate massively. You can see this by observing the entire market cap. There is no such thing as pure diversification in cryptocurrency. The events of 2018 have destroyed the trust of many. There is apparent manipulation. There is a lack of spending within the cryptocurrency economy. There is a lack of production within the cryptocurrency economy. The price movements have been entirely driven up due to manipulation from a select few. This speculation is foolish and it has done no good for the cryptocurrency community. In what ways are we actually better off from the substantial rise in price? We’ve seen companies refuse cryptocurrency as a payment option. People have stupidly bought into the hype. There has been losses attributed to cryptocurrency. The news coverage has never been more bleak. It’s easy to blame external forces. Blame the government. Blame the federal reserve. Blame what you want. It does nothing to solve the fundamental problems that cryptocurrency has. I believe the problem isn’t with the government. The issue has everything to do with ourselves and cryptocurrency itself. In its current form, to call cryptocurrency a ‘currency’ is a stretch. There was a $600 billion speculation on the entirety of cryptocurrency. The actual exchange of goods and services using cryptocurrency wouldn’t even be 10% of that. Who is actually using cryptocurrency as a ‘currency’? Let’s be honest, nobody but a dedicated few. Most people are in cryptocurrency to make a short-term profit. So much for Bitcoin taking over the world. The people who use cryptocurrency want to sell out for USD, the allegedly doomed currency. The increase in market cap was entirely down to speculation. We’re supposed to be against stupid bubbles. Bitcoin was itself a response to the 2008 Financial Crisis caused by the pumping of the real estate bubble. The boom and bust cycle does nothing for real growth. Indexed, we’re only marginally better off than we were in 2008. In regards to the cryptocurrency economy, the same applies. The responsible way to develop the cryptocurrency economy is to look at the fundamentals. People are too focused on unrealistic and frivolous projects to grow the cryptocurrency economy. I embrace the knowledge economy wholeheartedly, but not at the expense of the production, resource or service economy. These basics have been overlooked by the cryptocurrency sphere. Why do we need 50 coins (forks) which do the same thing? There are plenty of coins pegged to a USD in the CoinMarketCap 100. There are plenty of coins which do the same task as Bitcoin. In what way do these so-called projects increase the practical reach of cryptocurrency into the lives of people? We have to be realistic and practical about the issues cryptocurrency faces. The ideology of sitting on your thumbs, doing nothing, has failed us. Passiveness is a failure. By no means am I advocating for central-planning or economically authoritarian measures. I’m advocating for fundamental capitalist principles. Supply and demand. The needs of consumers. The development of an economy. The richest economies on earth are capitalist, yet they have rules. By no means are these countries a failure. If we want a reasonable increase in market cap, cryptocurrency needs to accommodate for goods and services. It needs to function like an economy. Fortunately we have solutions that already address the issue of goods. A good example being OpenBazaar. The issue of services is more mucky. I believe we need to prioritise services over goods. Most goods sold aren't done on a business-to-consumer basis. It's largely business-to-business. Where cryptocurrency can gain its own value is by service creation. Service creation is a no-brainer for cryptocurrency. We can improve the value of cryptocurrency by simply expending time and energy to create utility. People will request services, they will be rendered, this will increase the value. As the quality and category of work improves, the value will too. As jobs will require more knowledge and effort, we will see this reflected in the overall price and size of the cryptocurrency economy. This doesn’t require the flooding of dollars to pump up the market. It requires ingenuity and the hard-work of others. The resource that the cryptocurrency will be fundamentally based on is people. This will make it independent and stronger than currencies like USD which is heavily dependent on debt than resources or manufacturing. Not only does rendering services create value, it will inspire people to better themselves to create quality products. They will utilise skills the have and offer them. If you can do the job, you're part of the solution. The type of work needs to be based in the real world. The digital gig economy is severely limited in categories and scope. Where can you find a person to walk your dog? Where can you find someone to mow your lawns? Where can you find a mechanic? It's most certainly not on a website like Fiverr or Freelancer. It's not even an option online, aside from some classified boards. When applied on a global scale, services and cryptocurrency has the fundamental power to change the economy of the world.

Your very first bump was made within ~12h and I wouldn't be surprised there were others that have been deleted. tmfp noticed another one earlier in this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5100034.msg49344779#msg49344779 We're talking about another thread. Not the one you refer to. Don't call me a liar until you have your facts straight. Speculation from non-staff users isn't a definitive staff answer. Hahahaha lol ok so you dont know ! :D :D :D Good luck with that. Why do you think I asked in the first place? Read the replies. Many possibilities have been given. If the post contained a link at the bottom then the thread was possibly considered advertising spam. I don't care if you write a thesis, if you've only posted it to put your link there then it's probably an advert in my opinion. Speculation from non-staff users isn't a definitive staff answer. It can't have been in the original post. Staff can't snip a bit out and then delete it and you get a notification about it. In the screenshot you provided it's just the "I'm curious to see..." part that has been deleted: No. It was at the bottom of the post. There were no bumps. I never saw any replies before it was posted. Maybe the staff are gaming the algorithms to manually weed out posts they dislike. Therefore, if you posted it straight after the op then it was likely either considered a bump within 24 hours or unnecessary. You don't need to write a post then immediately ask what people think about it.

Just take everybody else's advice and move on. Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary here. This is an invalid thesis as I didn't do that. I am an alt of a staff member. See my trust. Nobody other than the person who removed it can tell you for sure why it was removed and I'm still even confused as to what the problem is here because what do you mean it was at the bottom of the post? It can't have been. Staff can't take bits of your post and remove that bit and you get a notification about it. They can remove the post and that post that is removed looks pointless or probably breaks one of the other rules, but until you clarify I can't help you. Where was the "I'm curious to see what people think about this" posted? Are you saying that little bit was removed from a bigger post, or that post was removed from one of your threads? Was that post removed from this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5100034.msg49337995#msg49337995 Good to see staff here for once. I'm saying that sentence was apart of the original post. So you're saying staff can't edit posts, only remove? It was removed from an other thread I started. Title: Re: Why was my post deleted?

It was removed from an other thread I started. It was a part of the original or apart from it and in another thread? Can you post here exactly what posts you originally made and what they were supposedly edited to because I'm still confused as to what has happened. Staff can edit posts, but are you saying that a staff member must have edited your entire post then deleted it but the only bit that remained of your original was "I'm curious to see..." (but there was much more originally). So to get this straight, you had a big post, a staff member edited it so the only bit that remained was "I'm curious to see..." and then deleted it. Are you really sure that you're just not mistaken and that "I'm curious to see..." was posted after the op and not in the same thread? Title: Re: Why was my post deleted?

Not the one you refer to. Don't call me a liar until you have your facts straight. The facts show that you did "do that", i.e. bump in less than 24h. Give us a link to the "another thread" because it's not clear what you're talking about. You have only two threads: this complaint thread, and your ANN thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5100034 Most of your deleted posts (and there are many) were in your ANN thread, except one reply in "The Failure of the Internet Economy" thread, which no longer exists: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5100691.0 Did you create the "failure" thread? Go to your drafts and reconstruct the whole history so that it makes sense. Title: Re: Why was my post deleted? Post by: taskly on January 24, 2019, 03:27:39 PM Good to see staff here for once.

Are you really sure that you're just not mistaken and that "I'm curious to see..." was posted after the op and not in the same thread? Firstly, thank you for actively trying to understand the situation. I made a big post a few days ago. This post was removed, with the quoted part being the "post". I recall this sentence being at the very bottom of the post. I assume that by quoting that part, they must have taken issue with it. It wouldn't make sense to quote a part that isn't a violation of the rules! I'm trying to understand why they would delete the entire post instead of just editing that part, if that was what they took issue with. |
