Bitcoin Forum

Post your view about bitcointalk ,
For example I love bitcointalk

It has seriously degraded in the quality of posts. Too many trolls, too much FUD these days.

And to many fake-same accounts

I think Bitcointalk is a great place for learning about BTC and get latest information about BTC.

Probably only 12 of us here on the site.......all talking amongst ourselves....

Can't really trust anyone anymore in trading with all this account trading.

There is an extremely low level of censorship here and you can freely about almost anything, oh and the mods here aren't total dicks, though I do find my posts occasionally go missing for being off topic. Trolling and FUD is a very small price to pay for having this much freedom of speech.

bitcointalk.org is a great place to earn bitcoins just for posting. You must however make sure your posts are on-topic and long enough to not be considered as spam. Sadly this practice does appear to degrade the quality of the forum overall with people posting boring gibberish, mainly in the off-topic sub-forum, just to complete their posting quota.

That's what an ignore function is for and if they're getting past that then they can be banned because they're trying to hack the forum software itself as for people actually posting stuff that other people find insulting, no you either have absolute freedom of speech or none at all, for example if you think certain things are okay to post about and certain things aren't, then you're for censorship.

With all the newbie accounts created I'd have to click ignore about 90% of the time if I wanted to end up with a "nice experience" so in fact "it is not a nice experience" but would instead become a "full-time job clicking ignore" for every stupid "ad-sponsored" posting forum member (and they seem to be growing in numbers).

Your idea of "freedom" seems to be to put everyone else into "slavery" having to "click ignore all day". ???

Here's an idea - the forum pays me to click Ignore and people can "link to my ignore list" (to save themselves the same hassle) - then I might "bother with doing that work".

Nice sir

Even I haven't had to ignore that many people, maybe you're just too easily offended or annoyed.

I don't bother with the Ignore (from memory I only have one person on that) - my point is that if I wanted "to rid my eyes of all the rubbish" then I'd be using it for most of the forum members (as most now are just ad-sponsored rubbish posters as has been discussed in another topic).

I am not "easily offended or annoyed" but it is "tiring to bother reading topics that just have posts with *no purpose*" (as I am very sure will start happening with this topic as the ad-sponsored posters start adding their effective "+1" posts).

Then don't read them! lol! :P

Yeah - very funny (not).

Some people think "freedom of speech" actually means *freedom to be a dick*.

*facepalm*

Stop being a *dick* then (you might think you're *terribly clever* but everyone *adult* here does not).

Cool down man

Ahaha ;D , freedom has some rules ;)  ( You're right ! ) .

I'm not angry at all - just trying to point out that the line "just hit ignore" when you see post after post of crap is "not very useful advice".

You are a legendary member and very experience and trusted person ,you have apoint

I agree with CIYAM for the most part. On the other hand there are staff and legendary members with adds in their profiles. You can't put all advertisers in one basket.
I really don't think the quality of my posts would change if somebody decided to pay me for using his logo. The best solution here would be for the staff members to identify spam accounts (ones with a history of short, off topic posts and ban them. Maybe hire some dedicated people to clean up this mess.

They are very easy to spot and I regularly report any spammers I find, I can understand hating those wankers but demanding that the whole forum change just because of them is a bit ridiculous.

Agreed and there are mods trying their best already to "clean up the mess" but their job has been made very hard by the ad-sponsored posts (this was all discussed in another thread - maybe someone would be kind enough to find that and link it here).

I am not against "freedom of speech" (i.e. would never try to people stop posting because of political content that some governments might not like). I just don't think "freedom of speech" == "freedom to spam".

I am in HK now and man walking down Nathan Road (yes - poor choice of location I'll agree) is a bit like reading this forum (at every corner some guy trying to hassle you to buy a watch or some other thing).

Too many alts spam all over the place then try to sell their accounts to make $10.. A shame its gone down to rubbish :(

Great place to cure me of gambling with real money... Now I just lose bitcoin.

I agree with you.
To much SPAM and it's not easy to find many good quality post anymore.

I am here to learn about BTC. So I think Bitcointalk is a great place for learning about BTC and also altcoin.

Everything seems to be about gambling and other alt coins now with a bit of newbie loan scamming going on.

Practice what you preach. Most of your posts are crap in off-topic. The rest aren't up to much either  ::).

Great forum, you get a lot freedom here, and yes, scammers will use this freedom in their benefit.

Great as well that you can earn BTC with sig campaigns, but that results in mega spammers to bump up their rank and eventually sell their accounts.

Off topic is a place were you can post anything not related to bitcoin .

What has this got to do with anything? Seems a bit... off topic  :D.

I love bitcointalk :) see, that wasn't so hard to say.

 I really like this forum , you can learn a new thing every day and the  community  is awesome !

Thanks bitcointalk :).

I hate newbies that post senseless topics only rise post count.

It is my only con here

I like bitcointalk because i have learnt so much just from some helpful members here and the link are manly always good, saves sorting though google crap just to find a good article.
Also where else could i have gotten pizza and a roast dinner for bitcoin  ;)

i like bitcointalk, and it should stay the way it is. i hate any kind of censorship and i think they have a good balance here between censorship and freedom of speech, although sometime i do wonder why they delete the odd post of mine XD. never mind

keep it the way it is a forum with no spam is no forum what so ever, and in fairness some of the spam is pretty funny :D

if they wanted to stop spammers they simply ban ad campaigns that would very very quickly get rid of alot of people and just leave the dedicate people aswell as some dedicated trolls, sadly trolls and spammers are part of the internet and if you dont like it then turn off the computer and read a book
