The user interface of Utrum.io looks very good, but I don't know that your site only lists crypto projects, or it also includes crypto-related platforms, like casinos, but it seems there are no places for casinos on your site.
In addition, can you give more details no rating algorithm used for your site, please.
Reviews
There are some strange projects that have 10/10 points (maximum), and I would like to have how those ratings calculated.
Lastly, your site shows errors if I visit through Tor, with this message:

Good point, forget about those past things that happened but instead focus with the future and how will you able to catch up and maximize your benefits around this market, learning what will be the best options to attained good success from this industry should be your focus, investors who's willing to step forward will no longer think about those missed opportunities but instead will find things that will be helpful for the great success that they can have while working around this market.
I disagree. Investors have to remember what they did in the past, success and failures, in order to prevent such stupid mistakes happen again. If they did great things, big succes and profits in the past, they should look back to withdraw more important points that caused past success. In contrast, if they don't care about mistakes and learn from them, they will do repeat same mistakes and get losses again. Financial investments, generally have very common things: Don't be greedy, and then you will be fine with good profits. Over greedy will lead to losses or bankcruptcy

If you visit his profile, you can see that he got a 2-year-long signature ban:

"Banned from displaying signatures until February 02, 2021, 08:16:07 PM".

I think some unbanned users ended up with shorter, 12-month-long signature bans.
No, I thought that he got permanent ban, than get reduced with what you mentioned. But, as he confirmed, he has never gotten perma ban, just 30-days ban, that leads to my another question: "Did he got 30-days ban without removed signature?"

Moreover, I agreed that I only saw users get reduced bans (after successful ban appeal from perma-ban), that mostly are combination of:
- Signature ban (one or two year)
- A temporary ban (30-60 days, e.g.).

So, I guess redsn0w did not explained his case completely.
I still guess he likely got 30-days temporary ban (without posting) + 24-month signature ban.

Sorry, I checked. He got 30-days ban + 24-month signature ban at the beginning.

There's been no policy change. redsn0w wasn't permanently banned due to several factors which made me think that permabanning him would be a net negative for the forum. Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.

If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.

I was never perma-banned, I got a 30 days ban.
Btw nice signature  Grin (just joking).
Really, @redsn0W?
Does it mean that signature will be removed with 30-days ban?
I ask because @Hhampuz still was able to wear signature with his 7-days ban.
I have an assumption that signature will only be removed if one banned due to plagiarism, for rest reasons (non-plagiarism) and different temporary bans (from 7-days, 14-days to 30-days), users can still wear signature.

Mine is different it's not about buying the right coin, but not selling the right coin at its all-time high, I have a good number of Kucoin and it hit an all-time high of $15 I bought Kucoin when it was only at $1 level that could be the best time to sell, but I control my self and tell myself that it could go $50 in a short period of time.

That's the worst decision I take one week vacation in a place where there is no internet, hoping that when I came back it will be worth $50 but tyo my surprise it went down to $2, I should have sold some when it hit $15.
It is why I have my personal approach like that:
After identifying good coins that I have big interests in, and buy it for my portfolio; I will set up my sell orders for at least 50% of those bought coins.
This way, I will not have to struggle with my own feelings and emotions when price takes off, then I don't know which price to sell. People has basic greedy instinct, so without detailed plans to take profits, we usually hesitate when price hit peaks, and over-expect that it can move much higher. I learned this lesson from altcoin amazing year in 2017; then I changed my profit-taking strategy entirely.

Whenever market looks like sh*t, as temporary one, it is good time to think of how to enrich our balance. Investors who miss opportunities to enrich their balance within the rest 4 months till the end of 2019, will extremely regret when they look back, around May of 2020. I do believe that the manipulation game of whales on altcoins have nearly finished, and we soon will witness a new season for altcoins. It is difficult to forecast how far altcoins can recover from now, but I do believe they will rally at least 40% to 50% from bottoms.

@ tbct_mt2, You don't need to doubt that @masulum did it, it is native to Indonesia, without using Google Translator. It works well everything looks neat.

Thank you for stopping by to Indonesia.
Just to make sure my topic is not abused and turned into trash one by Google Translator. It is good to see my topic well translated to local language, Indonesia first, but I hope more locals will translate it. The more translation my topic has, the more recognition that I made a good topic.

I will contact @masulum if I updated my topic.

By the way, have a good weekend, everyone.

I agree with you when you say "don't plagiarise".
You are a very interesting case from which users asked for reasons why you unbanned, then with sudden permanently banwave, global moderators had new rights to unban users and make signature ban as reduced alternative ban.
I'm not sure that you are the first user fortunately unbanned from perma-ban or not, but based on that topic, it seems you are the first one.

3129  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: {Beware}: Google accused of giving personal data to advertisers on: September 06, 2019, 02:38:30 PM
In other news.. water is wet.

Bloody good investigation by Johnny Ryan though. Not only did he fire shots at Google, along with it, it's also a great low-key promotion for Brave browser.

If anyone's interested more on the accusation, I grabbed a screenshot from the cover of Financial Times.

We have been all warned that Google Chrome browser and G-products are risky, because there is assumption that Google has shady intention to sell their users' data to companies that pay acceptable price. Whatever it is FUD or real discovery, it is important to look at it as another higher-leveled warning on risks of G-products, including Google Chrome. Two years ago, I watched a video on Ted channel that what we use on Internet collected and connected to give overview on who we are, what we do, which we prefer, all of them are potential risks for our privacy and security.

If someone wanted to boost their reporting score, they could just pick a 100 page spam megathread from the altcoin boards and report almost every post for being spam.
I believe only tech-savvy can do this by scraping data and using plagiabot to find plagiarism. I don't believe that we can have time to manually check plagiarism. Report after plagiarism found is very easy and fast, but finding plagiarised posts and proofs of plagiarism are very difficulty, especially if we don't have tool to do this.
By now, we've not known who created plagiabot and how it works, but since the release and actively operation of that plagiabot, we have seen thousands of accounts banned permanently, and there is no exclusive rank.

Basically, you only need to put the email if you wish to receive promotional information from us. Otherwise the email is not needed.
Does it include withdrawals?
As I asked, I created, and unchecked email address carefully after typing, so I typed it incorrectly (one figure missed). If the BSpin.io does not ask confirmations when users withdraw, I do not have to change my personal info (incorrect registered email address). Please confirm.

I do agree with you that the team should be active here and post updates but I guess they prefer to just post updates in their Discord and on Twitter. This is why I try and help get the GTM community informed on here as I am on here regularly. I am seeing a lot of projects now days not post as much in this forum anymore as they prefer to use Telegram, Discord, Twitter and Facebook to keep the communities updated on the latest news.
In my opinion, only big projects should leave the forum, when their projects have already big and strong enough to communicate with their communities outside the forum. There are some projects, that have their own forums, like Ethereum, Monero, DASH, and their developers left the forum, their team actively communitcate in their own-built forums.

For small projects (sorry for this word), like Gentarium, developer team should actively communicate and update fundamental things in Announcement thread.
3134  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where I can see the newest coins added in the market on: September 06, 2019, 09:35:35 AM
There are few sites that give newest coins, but honestly I would prefer to stay away from new-born coins. Nowadays, it is very easy for tech-savvy guys to use available source codes and create their new coins. This is the fact, that reflects on total 'old' coins, that sum up to thousands. Most of them are uselsess, no usecases.

If someone are newbies in crypto, they should only choose to invest in bitcoin or expand their portfolios to top altcoins only.
Remember that coins in top on coinmarketcap.com are probably shit coins too.

I don't know anyone knows about the shit coin, namely RET, that boosted weeks ago, and jumped to top 100 on coinmarketcap.com. The algorithm used to rating on coinmarketcap.com has so many drawbacks, and I hope with coming upgrades on rating algorithm, CMC's ranking system will change, and be able to give investors more precisely and neutrally overview on altcoin projects.

How do you guys currently feel about ETH? I bought around 18 ETH when the price was around 225 but now the has dropped a lot.
Be strong, my friend. At least, you did not buy at $1500, so you are fine for many others. Secondly, there are two time in the past, altcoins witnessed such terrible months, and they (good altcoins) recovered from that and had their bull year, like what we saw in 2013 and 2017. So, be strong, and believe in Ethereum as well as other top and years-old altcoins, which already survived over two terrible periods. They all will not make you dissapointed.

I have seen users were punished because of a sin they have done 3+ years ago. I think it was plagiarism. I am not against punishment but once a user establish themselves worthy and contributing the forum from long years the forum owe them. Punishing them for a sin that was done years ago is unfair.

I too think when reporters are reporting, they should deal with recent posts and when mods are moderating then they should not go back for x amount of time. I understand people will have different opinions.
Most of permanent bans come from plagiarism, and most of recent months ban appeal threads closed when proof of plagiarism found. More details about plagiarism in my topic, and there are a few contributive factors for second chance after permament bans because of plagiarism.
[TIPS] to avoid plagiarism
You actually can take your second chance with temporary ban and signature ban for one or two years. You can get it or not, depends on your past activities (things presented below are not mine, I describe perspectives of global mods that I read during the banwave in many appeals). There are some factors:
- Total posts that you plagiarised.
- Percentage of plagiarised posts / your total posts (more than half - 50% - will wipe out your second chance, surely)
- Time points of your plagiarism (before or after the rule on plagiarism applied in the forum)
- Your past contributions.
Globals can now issue sig bans so it'll happen more often but isn't going to be a let off for everyone (so if half your posts are copy and pastes then forget about it but people who are getting banned for one or two posts from years ago will likely be shown some mercy).

.
If you still haven't clicked "Post" or "Preview", and the browser crashed/PC shut down unexpectedly, there will be no draft for that particular post.
Drafts will be saved after you've clicked either of the two buttons.
Exactly, that is what some users incorrectly understood. Drafts will be saved in Draft page if users click on either of two buttons, Post, or Preview.
Some users think they have to click Preview, before clicking on Post to save their posts in Draft page.
Quote
If you click "preview" once, there will be an immediate backup of the current version of you post (good as backup).
And another backup of the final version after clicking "post".
This is what I did not think of. Thank you.

Both of you are right but it still safe if we don't use any 3rd party extension in chrome browser if you use the browser mostly for Crypto(safety is our priority). I'm sure this extension are stealing personal information so for me this is not recommended to use.

Also, I noticed someone telling that this extension is a scam they have many bad reviews about this extension so I don't recommend to install this on your chrome.
Agreed with you about third-party extensions, but personally Chrome is not a safe one to, because it is a sort of G products, and you know Google will use user data for whichever purposes that we never know.

They can collect user data from their browser, connect users' dots and over time they have significant data; then someday sell them to get profits at acceptable deal, only Google knows. It is a serious potential threat by using Chrome. I would prefer to use FireFox or Brave browers, instead of Google Chrome.
