This is a good question indeed. Maybe a mod could take a look on this topic and let us know about what's going on with thus user, from Staff perspective?

But besides this curiosity, there is something else I don't understand. This account may (or may not) be a bot. Bot or not, it should be controlled by someone. How is it possible for this person to not notice at all that all the posts are deleted? I assume the account owner didn't notice the posts deleted, as the account uses the same posting pattern. Otherwise, I believe that a rational person would change the posting pattern.

Unfortunately, rassaf33 did not bother even to read the topic's title, which states clearly the eligible members: " [Open] ▄■▀■▄ 🌟Bitvest.io🌟 - Plinko Sign Camp (Member-Hero Accepted)".

The main problem is the following: as a Newbie you are not allowed to wear a signature inside this forum. Since you can't wear a signature, it is actually impossible to participate in a signature campaign.

Furthermore, if you'll rank up at some time, you should pay a special attention to the forum rules, to the campaign rules and to other particular rules. Without taking the rules into consideration there are high chances to not be taken into consideration in any signature campaign.

I will be watching this thread for an opening or will try to get into a full member.

Unfortunately, as a Member, you can't apply for a Full Member position, if that's what you meant. To be more precise, you can't apply for a higher rank position. The opposite works though: if you have a higher rank but there is no position for your rank, you may apply for a lower rank position and hope that at some point you'll get a spot for your rank, if such position will become vacant.

Now, in your situation, you can wait until there will be a Member position available. Otherwise, you should earn 88 more merits in order to become a Full Member and apply then for a Full Member opening, if there will be any such position available.

E destul de greu de spus daca este un strain care a folosit Google Translate sau un roman analfabet. Inclin totusi spre a doua varianta. Spre exemplu, o data foloseste termenul "proiect" si apoi foloseste "proect". Nu cred ca Google Translate traduce o data intr-un fel si apoi in altfel.

Si limbajul propriu-zis ma face sa cred ca este unul care habar n-are sa acorde subiectul cu predicatul. Si, din pacate, sunt o multime ca el.

In plus, si numele pe care il foloseste pare romanesc: bekli, cu trimitere (probabil) la Becali Smiley

If you are fan of Alien series, you can try Alien Isolation, which is a very good survival horror game launched in 2014 and available on PC, Xbox One, PS3 and Nintendo Switch.

Besides, there is also a mobile game named Alien Blackout, launched in 2019. Unfortunately, this game is very short. This one is available for Android and iOS.

- Who better to be displayed as moderator ~snip~

In order to reflect the reality, there should be no moderator displayed, as there is no moderator for these sections. As others suggested as well, these developers should be displayed as "developers", or with any other name, but not moderators. Some had mod privileges, although they were not moderators and some were real moderators, but moderating activity can't be done while being offline, can it?

Also you think "most likely" Mike Hearn in not moderating that section ? Really ?

Yes, I am absolute positive that someone who was last seen online 4 years, 2 months and 4 days ago is not moderating any section of the forum, unless he does it while being offline. Not sure if you were joking or serious though.

Who else to put as a moderator in a Bitcoin forum other than one of its biggest opponents aka Mike Hearn? Good job with your suggestion. Roll Eyes

Lol, that was a great addition!

I really don't know how their payment works, but I am not addressing this aspect in the OP (although it is an interesting idea Smiley ). I was just suggesting to have a better reflection of the reality by updating the obsolete mods. However, if they are paid, I doubt that theymos would still pay Mike Hearn (for example) for moderating services, given the fact that he is not active since 2016. But not the payment is the issue in this case.

I observed recently that on several boards and child boards are mentioned some members as moderators but, in fact, these members are not staff members anymore since a while ago. Therefore, for having a more precise view over the boards and over the mods which are really moderating the respective topic, I'd suggest to make the following updates:

- Bitcoin Discussion \ Press: remove jgarzik from moderators list, as he is not part of the staff anymore; besides, he was last seen online on November 8th, 2019
- Beginners & Help: remove MiningBuddy from moderators list, as he is not part of the staff anymore; besides, he was last seen online on April 4th, 2018
- Development & Technical Discussion \ Wallet software \ Electrum: remove ThomasV from moderators list; although, according to tranthidung's topic List of the forum's admins/ global moderators/ staffs, ThomasV appears as having mod privileges, considering that he was last seen online on March 21st, 2019, most likely he is not moderating this section
- Development & Technical Discussion \ Wallet software \ Bitcoin Wallet for Android: remove Andreas Schildbach from moderators list; although, according to tranthidung's topic List of the forum's admins/ global moderators/ staffs, Andreas Schildbach appears as having mod privileges, considering that he was last seen online on February 13th, 2018, most likely he is not moderating this section
- Development & Technical Discussion \ Wallet software \ BitcoinJ: remove Mike Hearn from moderators list; although, according to tranthidung's topic List of the forum's admins/ global moderators/ staffs, Mike Hearn appears as having mod privileges, considering that he was last seen online on March 29th, 2016, most likely he is not moderating this section
- Development & Technical Discussion \ Wallet software \ Mycelium: remove Rassah from moderators list; although, according to tranthidung's topic List of the forum's admins/ global moderators/ staffs, Rassah appears as having mod privileges, considering that he was last seen online on February 9th, 2020, most likely he is not moderating this section

E posibila si varianta asta. Fiind vorba de un roman insa, ma gandesc ca poate are vreun interes mai "neaos": sa iti faca o vizita mai mult sau mai putin oportuna la domiciliu, pentru a-ti decripta la tine acasa respectivul portofel. Ca se mai poate numi si talharie sau jefuire, asta e altceva.
3972  Local / Romānă (Romanian) / Re: Cumpără Bitcoin fără KYC: ATM-ul Bitcoin din Milano care respectă anonimitatea on: May 30, 2020, 09:26:38 AM
Aveți vreo experiență de raportat?

I did not use any ATM recently. For cash-in / cash-out operations, we have 4 providers in Romania: ShitCoins.club, Bitcoin Romania, BitMahavi and Prohashing. As far as I know, none require KYC. But I observed recently that some cash-in ATMs started to require KYC. For example, the Qiwi machines, which allow now the aquisition of BTC only through SpectroCoin, which is a service asking for KYC (the discussion is held here (and the posts below): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3257241.msg54485802#msg54485802).

Regarding the ShitCoins ATMs, there was a post inside this topic, stating that Germany took position against KYC-less machines:

Vesti proaste dinspre nemti: https://news.bitcoin.com/german-bitcoin-atms/

Cica au inceput baietii de la BaFin sa inchida ATM-uri "neautorizate". Si cum nemtii sunt principalele modele de urmat pentru ceilalti din UE... cine stie ce se va mai intampla si pe meleaguri mioritice

However, if any Romanian member has precise information about the ShitCoins.club ATMs, please let us know Smiley

I think the discussion regarding badges was determined by an old idea of theymos - Seeking reporter badge images.

He was thinking to award badges for 300 / 1000 / 5000 good reports, but the idea never came alive. While this kind of incentive would be appreciated by a lot of members, I think many others just want to keep the forum clean.

Am fost azi iar la aparatul Qiwi si are in continuare optiunea de achizitie BTC. Prin SpectroCoin.

Macar am elucidat misterul. Deci pe site-ul Qiwi nu este informatia corecta, dat fiind ca lipseste BTC.

Mai departe insa, este nerecomandat, deoarece solicita KYC. Voi incerca si aparatele din hypermarket-uri, cand voi mai ajunge in Cora / Auchan / Carrefour.
3975  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion for improving user experience when reporting posts on: May 29, 2020, 08:17:13 AM
I know moderators probably get sick of my reports too, which is why I inserted my priority system for better filtering.

I totally understand you lol. I think it is a great idea this prioritization.

Since OP suggested few changes, there is one I would like to see and might make reporting easier for those that are just starting - to remove that requirement of 300 good reports in order to get access to report history. If it's not matter of some tehnical reason why it's not available for everyone, why make such restriction?

I thought about that too, but, somehow, I forgot to add it in the OP. I also don't understand the 300 good reports "barrier".



Additionally, I remembered also another suggestion which I forgot to mention in the OP: maybe there should be more resolutions for the reports, not just "good" and "bad". For easier understanding of the bad reports, maybe these could be classified in more types: one of them could be "duplicate". Another status could be "will not handle" - this can be used for those reports which, for one reason will never be handled.

Besides, maybe the mod's username could be added for each solved report. Thus, in case of bad reports, the reporters could ask the mod why the respective report was considered as bad. This way, the reporters would also understand why some reports are considered as being bad.

For example, I reported several shilling of some members and all the reports were good. Then I reported the exact type of posts of other members and all were marked as bad. Thus, as a reporter, I'm wondering: why was post X considered good and post Y was considered bad, if both have the same pattern?

In addition to cyrus script which suggested above by Rizzrack, you can use the script made by suchmoon. (Visit the link below.)
[HACK] One-click mod report, not for the faint of heart

Thank you, hosseinimr93, I didn't know about this script as well. I'll try it!

There is no bug.
The post you open is shown at top of the page unless the post is located at bottom of the page(usually one of the last three posts of a page). It's impossible to scroll down, so such post shown at top of the page.

Uhm...this may be what happened...but I am not sure though. I'll keep investigating it, but thanks for the tip.

You're welcome. Use it wisely tho...
Most of the times context is essential and there is a clear lack of it just looking at the post history.

Yes, I fully agree with that.

Hai ca azi am avut ceva mai mult noroc Smiley Functiona aparatul de cafea! In prealabil insa, am cautat numarul de telefon pe Google. Astfel, am aflat ca tine de firma NTS Pay (https://www.nts-pay.ro). I-am sunat dar nu au raspuns. Pe site-ul lor am mai gasit un numar - 021.269.01.67. Din pacate nici aici nu au raspuns.

Navigand pe site insa, exista o harta a aparatelor (din pacate insa nu este optimizata nici pentru desktop, nici pentru mobil si nici nu se mareste la click).

Din ce vad insa, aparatele de cafea sunt destul de raspandite in Romania.

Dupa cum spuneam mai sus, aparatul functiona astazi. Achizitia de BTC se face tot prin SpectroCoin, si, din ce vad, aparatul de cafea are soft-ul Qiwi.

Nu am mai continuat, intrucat nu aveam timp sa stau pentru a face cont.

In pofida ploii torentiale, am ajuns si la aparatul Qiwi despre care scrisesem in postarile anterioare. Surpriza, acesta avea un blue screen (BSOD) de Windows XP, daca nu ma insel, astfel ca nu am putut fotografia meniul. Insa meniul aparatului de cafea, pe partea de achizitie de BTC, este identic cu cel al aparatului Qiwi, pe care l-am vazut acum cateva zile. Tot prin SpectroCoin se facea achizitia. Din acest motiv scrisesem anterior ca s-ar putea sa fie o eroare pe site-ul Qiwi, unde nu (mai) apare Bitcoin.

Am sa incerc sa mai sun si maine la firma care detine aparatul de cafea, poate prind pe cineva la telefon pentru a sugera listarea pe CoinATMRadar. Sau macar sa faca interactiva harta de pe site.

Sper sa fie de folos aceste informatii Smiley

Recently (since a month or so), I started to get involved in reporting useless posts to moderators (spamming, shilling etc.). Given the fact that I reported a lot of posts lately (for example, I reported once ~1500 posts in less than 24h), I also encountered some difficulties, therefore I'm suggesting some improvements of this process, as it follows:

1. It would be nice to add a "Report" button in the page where all the posts / topics of an user are displayed

Why is that? Well, if you want to report multiple posts of a single user; then if you open the link "Latest posts of XXX"; then if you click on each post of the respective user to open the posts in different tabs, a bug and a problem may occur. When a post is opened in a new tab, it usually is the one from the top of the respective tab. However, this doesn't happen in all cases (this being the bug): sometimes, the new opened post / tab is not the one from the top, being instead displayed at the middle of the page or anywhere else. If such situation occurs, you may report the post from the top of the new tab, although this is not the post which should be reported. In some cases (if the post is good), then the report is bad. In other cases, the report can be bad for for other reason: for reporting a duplicate post (this being the problem, but also determined by the bug). How this can happen? Imagine that inside a topic an user has multiple posts and each one should be reported (e.g. continuous shilling of a site). In case multiple tabs are opened for each such post, if the mentioned bug occur and the posts opened in new tabs are not shown at the top part of the page, then you may select to report the post from the top of the new opened tab, but this post could be actually a post opened also in another tab. This situation (caused by the bug), may lead to have your report flagged as bad for being duplicate. So you report a shilling post (which should be reported); but you get in the situation of reporting it twice, although you didn't want this to happen.

Besides, this report button added to each posts / topics of any user would also make the reporting process more convenient, as it would be easier to directly click on a report button listed under each post / topic, compared to opening each post / topic in new tabs.

2. The reporting process is identified as posting and it follows the posting rules

When you open multiple posts in new tabs in order to report them all, you will be hindered by the time limit for consecutive reports. As I can understand, this message is the same for posting consecutive posts, and it is governed by the following rule:

Code:
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
        waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

However, this is a reporting process, not a posting process. Thus, if you are could be really fast at reporting multiple posts in a given time frame, you are stopped by the above mentioned code, which for some reason applies also during reporting posts, instead of being applied only for posting. Of course, the amount of time between consecutive reports gets higher, if the reporter's activity is low. In my case it is set at 8 seconds. And I received the respective error message many times, as I could make reports in a time lesser than 8 seconds. Now imagine how much would have to wait a member with 100 activity points or less. [/i]That member may have good intentions and help keeping the forum clean, but if he has to wait ages in order to report 100 posts he will not do it anymore.[/i]

In my case, to be more precise: for reporting all those 1500 posts in less than 24h, I needed 1500 (posts) x 8 (seconds between each report) = 12.000 seconds (200 minutes). Of course this was only the calculated time. In reality all becomes more slower due to various external aspects (change the message for a report / you close a tab accidentally then you have to reopen it etc.).

What I'm trying to say is that: if there was no time limit between consecutive reports, this entire process would be more convenient. Or, at least, if the restrictions would be decreased (e.g. 3 seconds between reports).

3. More mods are needed for analyzing the reported posts

As far as I could see, the mods can't keep the pace with the reporting process. I finished those ~1500 reports a few days ago but I still have almost 1000 unhandled reports. I believe there are too few mods inside the forum and they are overwhelmed with all their duties, which don't include only analyzing reports. This forum has over 2 millions of users, from which, if I remember well, more than 100.000 active. Even if all these users would make 1 (just one) report, the mods would be flooded with 100.000 reports. I'm not sure how many mods are there, but I think they are less than 30.

And, as I can see, they are too few for all their activities. For example, when I was in the frenzy of reporting, I was contacted by 3dOOM which kindly asked me to not report all the posts of each user, although all should be deleted, as I am opening too many reports.

That being said, I'd also suggest to increase the mods number.
