Naw, I quit ages ago, but then these people brought this up again.
I did not post in this topic. |

If the new forum software succeeds, I think one of the best features possible would be a bot. This bot should do some important tasks: - Assist in auctions. A topic in the auctions section can be put to bot control by the thread starter. The owner sets some parameters, and all posters below must comply with the rules. The bot periodically maintains a list of highest bidders.
- Keep topics clean and on-topic. If the tone of a topic goes too negative, with an increasing amount of insulting or offensive words, or a rapid decrease in post length, or a rapid increase in quote pyramid size, or any other measurable indicator of topic "dirtyness", the bot steps in and reminds users to be clean. It should also report overly offensive posts.
- Help newbies. After anyone posts a new topic, the bot should search for fuzzy matches or keywords in the forum. If one or multiple of significant relevance is found, the bot may post a post containing links to the old topics.
- Perform basic moderation. If a post is a complete duplicate of the previous post, or contains 3 letters or less, it can be assumed that the post was useless and the bot should delete it and send a PM to the user which created the post. If a post looks like a spam-bot, the bot reports (not deletes) the post to the moderators.
- Post news. News from respected news sites such as Bitcoinmedia is reposted by the bot, which also provides a list of similar news stories if applicable.
- Update speculation. The bot provides the latest updates when giant swings occur, with detailed information in the posts. When requested, the bot replys with bitcoincharts.com, bitcoinica, or other chart website charts in a thread (e.g. "Can someone post the 3-month SMA?", etc.).
There are obviously many, many other purposes for such a bot, and those are only suggestions. |

BTW, I'm going to review it and let people use any combination of latin letters longer than 3 symbols as a word in this game in future.

I thought I would snipe this reward on 2012-05-31, but maybe this post will go unnoticed...

One thought I've had as I've been watching this site...
It feels as though "votes" of 0.001 are rather ineffective/useless when several people seem to be voting with 0.1 (or more) instead. I mean, if a single person can give an item 100 votes, then why even vote on anything with my own coins? It'll be ineffective unless I spent like "the big boys" do.
What's the solution? I haven't a clue. You can't really raise the limit, or that just alienates more people from voting in the first place. You could just say that each individual transaction counts as one vote, regardless of how much the transaction was for, but that kind of takes some of the fun out of it, plus people would use sendmany to send a bunch of individual transactions to pop up the vote count anyway. Plus, it would lower the site/author revenue.
Maybe have the payments upvote in an anti-exponential manner? So a vote with 0.001 BTC counts as 0.001, but a vote with 0.009 BTC counts only as 0.003. Or a vote with 0.250 BTC counts only as 0.050. This would discourage higher "spending" to an extent, but not make it impossible for people who really want to push a vote up to do so.
Just some thoughts. I don't know that there's a real good solution to the above "problem", or even that it is a problem that needs a solution, but that's just my observations.
That is a pretty good idea. I might not change the display (it is good to know the exact amount put in), but I may adjust the sorting algorithm for hot to do something like this (anti-exponent). Time is a huge factor right now as well. It is easy to spend a little to get on top of something from a day or two ago. I am surprised that people are spending the equivalent of $1 to put dinosaur pictures up on the home page, but I like it. I was afraid it would just be ads. This is not a good idea. Because it is impossible to prove who owns how many bitcoins, any person can split the 0.009 to 9 0.001 and send those smaller denominations. Unless a method to resolve this is developed, it probably won't work very well. |

It would be kinda cool to see an animation of the charts through time. Not cool enough for me to actually do it though  One can sort of obtain the effect by sliding on the forum page. Sort of like drawing a stick-man on multiple pages of a book...back in the old days when books were common. It would not be that hard to do, but I haven't been consistent in gathering the snapshots, so it would be a mess. Maybe I will do that one day if I see that there is a series of fairly consistently collected snapshots. The formula is posted publicly though, so is it not possible to recurse through the historical data and regenerate the graphs? |
