If users (from old-era to new-era with cutoff is when merit system began) keep obeying rules of the forum, and give their hands as small contributions to help to build up the forum as shitpost-cleaned as possible, the head admin and the community will feel much happily to stay here.
It is important for themselves, and for the forum. For themselves in aspect of risks of signature disabled (there is risk to see it happens). For the forum in aspect of preventing users leave and join other forums.
No one can be perfect when they are born or join any forum, but over time they should improve themselves and contribute more.

Excellent feedback and we will ensure that all images are timely moving forward. Though we were aware that some had retired in the image, we thought the image was a very good image for the article which was a general article on how to bet on football (soccer). We wanted a legends of soccer image which this also is not because this article will be accessed for many years to come.
Your explanation help me to catch ideas and intention of PlayBetr team behind the usage of legends who already retired for the site promotion. There are likely misunderstandings but now I think I thoroughly understand why you decided to make that image. Once again, your reply and your explanation shows that you as a member of PlayBetr team is very open-minded to community's discussion and contributions. |

555- Hoping
You got that figure but it did not last for too long. There are people spoiled it, includes me. My next figure of merit that I aim at is 444. I already have 333, then now I am hoping I will get the figure of 444 very soon. Hey, @tbct_mt2 the Merit Counting within the past 120days using the bpip seems to be not working.
I see. There are more problems with BPIP after recently move between services, but what you discuss happened before the service switch recent days. |

Edit: So after many people still actually spamming and not being banned, my guess is Yobit took on too many participants and now many are being banned at random to get the numbers down.
This is not a randomly ban on participants. A ban, if there is, comes from bad posts of participant and from strictly management of manager to check post quality, time between posts. Randomly bans mean outstanding posters can be banned randomly and arbitrarily. It does not make sense and not what the campaign under yahoo's management will go forward. The previous campaign of Yobit went like this. Bad posters who wear Yobit signature and made spam, low quality, off-topic posts, then were reported by community, would consequently temporarily banned with disabled signature, too. Only made bad posts and reported, if not they were fine (without bans). Self-spam, then indirectly self-ban.  |

Is really surprising to see China at 6th place only with 327 full nodes because I was sure that the biggest amount will be in the biggest mining farms, but to be honest I don't know if mining is actually allowed there or not because China banned and unbanned BTC and mining so many times that I don't know what is the real situation there?
Miners don't have to run bitcoin full nodes for their farms. They can do this or not, this is not a must for bitcoin mining farms. From my understanding, China has biggest mining farms globally, but they are not the leading nation in blockchain technology, and it makes sense after looking at total bitcoin full nodes in China. From that perspective, it is reasonable to see top nations are leading ones in crypto and blockchain technology, the USA, Germany, France, Netherlands. |

Grammar plays an important role in a post but I think the substance and relevance is what matters most. Mods know better and have deeper reason for deleting a post and not depending on grammar alone.
Seriously English-broken posts deserve delete by moderators because no one have ability to understand such terrible ones. I know, many of us here are from countries where English is not the native language so we cannot blame them for having poor grammar construction. But, that is not an excuse to keep oneself from improvement. Besides, there are already tools online which allows us to check our grammars. We should make use of that kind of technology and be always open to make ourselves better.
There is no one blame posters for their English-broken posts. In contrast, posters themselves might not blame on their bad English grammar knowledge. They have to learn and improve their grammar first before thinking of making posts in English boards. Nowadays there are many sources to learn English, for free, from websites to Youtube channels or free courses on Coursera, Tedx, Mooc, and so on. I have my collection on some good books to learn English, in vocabularies and grammar. Collections for someone who would like to improve English skills |

The geographical distribution of bitcoin full nodes that visually presented by the image, gives us the fact that China has much less impacts on bitcoin, technically (at least). What we saw on social media, news that China has significant effects on bitcoin (positively or negatively depends on different periods) are very incorrectly.
China obviously has some of biggest bitcoin mining farms but technically impacts on bitcoin is much smaller than what we usually thought.
In the top ten nations: 3 come from Asian continent, 2 come from American continent, and 5 come from European continent.

I raised my opinion weeks ago, in the match between Manchester United and Leiceister City, with Harry Maguire still wears shirt of Leiceister City, not Manchester United's. In the above image, there are some football stars already retired, including Arjen Robben, Andrea Pirlo. Next time, I think Play Betr should edit images a little and only new generation of football stars. |

Temp ban or not, and how long temp ban lasts will depend on which rules of the forum they don't obey, and how severe of rule disobeyment they did. Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign)There are lots of rules which spam-/ shit-posters don't obey, such as burst posting. Burst posting happens with many campaigns that are not managed by good managers. If participants of other campaigns don't get temp ban for burst posting (I think some of them are temporarily banned, but not all of them), and their corresponding bans depend on their speed of burst posting and how many burst-posts they did. Days ago, I saw someone complained about 30-day temp-ban as consequence of spam PMs ( Sorry BitcoinFX, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages). That temp-ban period is very different between cases, depend on themselves and moderators who are responsible for those cases. Hhampuz, months ago, was only temporarily ban for 7-days. 23. When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules.[e]
There are likely some special solutions, what we already saw months ago with Yobit campaign, when theymos made temp-bans on Yobit-supporters who were reported from their bad posts. Not sure what will happen this time with Crypto Talk. |

This is forum etiquette, and makes the forum cleaner. Staff members only tend to delete posts when they've quoted to an obscene level, and even then they're far more likely to edit the quotes out rather than outright deleting the reply. Moderators only edit replies when removing excessive usage of quotes (otherwise known as quote pyramids) or for merging double posts together.
Onto the issue with grammar, unless its inconceivable garbage its likely not going to be removed. You could speak in "leet speak" if you wanted, and it would likely not be removed. Although, please don't because I'm pretty sure the majority of the forum would not appreciate that.
There are only two types of pyramid posters: - Newbies: who don't read rules and guides and don't know how to quote and edit their quotes. I also experienced it, did not know how to edit my quote. Fortunately, I joined Meta and see decent posts from users (that I knew they are very good posters, months later). I see their posts are very neaty, with or without quotes. Then I clicked quote button to quote their posts and see how they do that. I learned from them and made my topic below. Honestly, I did not know how to use hr line to separate answers to different users if my posts are multi-replying to others' posts. - Old users: who know how to edit their quotes to avoid pyramid quotes, but they are too lazy to do it. They are mostly shitposters. By the way, I have my topic: [TIPS] to avoid pyramid quotes (for Newbies) |

I think the problem is when your english becomes completely meaningless is when mods try to delete that post for poor grammar. We all know majority of people on the forum are Non-English native so you can't expect a fluent and grammatically accurate english.
Trying to learn English, practice and double check before click on Post. Grammar is important, but it is not hard to learn and manage basic grammartical things to write understandable posts. English is a fluid and forgiving language. Even on a pretty global forum like this, I only rarely see English so bad that I can't understand it at all. As long as you actually have some ideas to express, you should be fine. You should keep in mind that poor English is more difficult to read, though, so if you know that your English is imperfect, it'd be courteous to keep your text to-the-point, and to do some extra checking to minimize errors as much as possible. (I do the same when writing imperfectly in my second languages.)
I think the problem would have been with the post itself. It would have been a post with zero importance to this forum. Or it might have been a topic about which there was already a mega thread going on otherwise just faulty English doesn't calls for post deletions.
The forum born and actively run so far as a place for idea discussions, and everyone have their rights to deeply think of creative ideas. Then, if they have creative idea, they can bring it to the forum to discuss for help, for expand more, for business services, whatever. Idea is most important component of a good post. This forum exists to provide a platform for the free (but ordered) exchange of ideas. If you have an idea to express, then it is probably possible to do it here as long as you follow the rules.

They finally hired a good campaign manager to control the major spam. His job is to check what the users are doing and ban these that are abusing the system to f*ck the forum and earn while doing it. His list of banned users: List of banned participants in the Cryptotalk CampaignThe definition of ban is different from normal ones. Ban means people who keep wearing signature of CryptoTalk.org and posting won't get payments for their posts after getting ban from manager for whatever reasons (spam, burst posting, eg.). Those people won't be banned by the forum, if they don't violate any rule of the forum that cause to bans. Those people can be able to keep posting while still wearing signature of Cryptotalk.org, that potentially will probably result in complaints that CryptoTalk.org feeds spams (after hiring a good manager). On the other hand, as we see, most of participants join that campaign (since beginning) are shitposters, and they make posts only they get payments. If they banned by manager, I think most of them (shitposters) will stop posting. There are already some of participants banned by rule violations: copy & paste, for instance. futureofbitcoin - Copy/paste

@ yahoo62278 I think we should ask Yobit to treat participants equally. Allow/count all posts in local or disallow any.
Second option, that is no local boards, should be our choice as it will drastically reduce the amount of possible spam.
There are so many local boards, and if there are new rules to accept posts over all local boards, how will yahoo62278 be able to check post quality? It is very easy to count posts made in local boards, that can be accomplished by Yobit's bot, but post quality need to be checked manually by experienced manager. This is very important reason why posts in local boards (except Russian - I am not sure, but if people told the truth about it) have not yet counted by now. If all posts in local boards checked and accepted by bots simply by taking post length into consideration, it will result in another spam issue. |

It is helpful if you can add a section that guides on how to get expired days of Bitcoin futures on different platforms, CME, CBEO, Bakkt. I do believe that Exprired days of Bitcoin future contracts have very big impacts on bitcoin price around those days. Price can move upwards or downwards considerably around expired days.
Honestly, I have still not known how to get Bitcoin future contract's expired days. I much appreciate if you or anyone else can help.

Vitalik said 1000 ETH initially but you can join a pool with a lower amount. After sharding Close to 10 ETH. But I think individually it will be tough to get ETH from POS. ETH founders & devs holding over millions of ETH. Big exchanges holding over 100 millions of ETH, Pretty sure they will stake their ETH too and then comes the big mining pools so it will be even tough to make a fraction of ethers from staking.
I would rather join a trusted pool. it will not worth it unless you have a heavy load of eth bags.
The point is how to secure investor funds if they decide to join staking pools? There are lots of scam Proof of stake/ masternode coins and scam masternode hosting platforms, GINcoin eg. which scam-exited without a single line of announcement of platform shutdown on their website. Ethereum is a long-history and good reputable coin, with good supports from its own-built feature, smart contract. Anyway, I think investors have to take care of their small funds and read scam preventive mechanisms of any pools they want to join and put their funds in. |

I just used this thread as an opportunity to highlight some disadvantage you should definitely consider before joining any campaign, If you can handle posting high number of posts without spamming then you can go ahead.
It is max post counted per day only, and participants must not fullfill exactly 20 posts per day to be paid. There are always two types of posters: bad and good. Good posters will do know when they must stop posting, when they don't see reasons to make posts. Personally, if I don't see interesting topics or interesting discussions, I will not make posts. The key thing is good posters are able to handle their greediness to hunt for maximum money with max post number. There are some campaigns that have max weekly posts at 50 or 60, and I saw there are many participants don't fullfill max posts. This thing can happen with Yobit campaign too, especially from now on posts will be checked quality before being eligible for payments. |

I see no problem with 20 posts a day. This forum has being dying due to people moving to another social media outlets. More posting here gives this forum more action.
If what I remembered is correct, months ago, Stake.com run their campaign with high daily or weekly post cap too. Then, lots of people complained about that campaign, but when their team publicly gave spreadsheet and posts made by their participants, total posts made are not much as people complained. I don't argue that 20 posts per day is overwhelming for lots of users, if campaign requires non-spam posts. From Stake.com, I have feelings like when people have bad feelings (from past experience) with companies or campaigns, they might have incorrect feelings. Now, Yobit took voices and community ideas into consideration by hiring yahoo62278 to check post quality. Why do we not halt all complains for at least one week to see how the new campaign managed by yahoo62278 goes? If in coming days, bad posters banned from the campaign, and only good ones left, I do think it is time to stop complaining that Yobit-backed campaign results in spam posts. At least theymos has not shown problems with Yobit's bids for forum ads: Round 284: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5170052.msg52098153#msg52098153Round 285: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5173717.msg52206520#msg52206520Only this topic locked (that I agreed with): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187840.0For the rest ones: discussions have likely kept going, and it seems perfect ones to write long posts and get post counts.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187843.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5133809.0I saw this campaign around 18 hours ago, but only joined two hours ago after it was taken by yahoo62278. I think the campaign will run well (only if theymos does not have issues with this one - promote other forums inside the forum). I suggest to lock all those topics, and bring all discussion about Yobit campaign there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5188047.0 |

When massacre comes, diversification of portfolio, even with good projects does not make sense, as the above image shows. From my time in crypto, not too much, Bitcoin is the King of crypto, and we can not deny altcoin season each year, but if we look at the whole year period, over years so far, investment in Bitcoin will always be the best. Altcoin market is more diffcult to forecast, and when bearish market comes, altcoins usually fall more dramatically compared to Bitcoin. What we witnessed in 2018 and three quarters this year prove that fact.
