Dear Lutpin,

Inactivity is a kind of spam ?

Yahoo manages a list of inactive users and merging it into spammers list and finally you are adding them into blacklist.
He is a manager he has all the rights to have his own list.

I just want to confirm whether SMAS covers inactivity ?

Can you just tell us what you really want?
I am not the right person to suggest any change here.
But I just started this topic just to ensure whether we are traveling in a right path as per founder's wish.

Signature campaigns were not around when satoshi was here so we have no idea what he would think of them or what his wish would be so the admins/staff run the forum the way they feel best. I'm still not sure what you want though. You want people to give people who don't know much about bitcoin or can't speak English very well a break and leave them alone?
You mean to say we are on right path ? Okay, lets wait and watch the survival of fittest.

One simple example : Nokia was too successful just 5 to 8 years back. Due to their ignorance to listen to the demand of changes, they faced their fate.
False analogy fallacy.
Seems you didn't get.

Name one forum which has even 10% of the bitcoin related traffic compared to bitcointalk ?
Yet to born. You argue not at all possible ?

To talk about bitcoin, hence the name bitcointalk.
Just to time pass ? To talk for what ?

No, we wont. We'll lose a forum poster. One that wont be missed. This forum is not the entire bitcoin ecosystem; it's a tiny part of it.
Yes bitcoin may not. But this forum may lose.
The rise of other forums and their success may get triggered with your aggressiveness.

The only other option is to ban campaigns entirely from the forum
This must be a right solution and permanent too if I agree with you. But I wonder after that whom you are going to moderate ?

Simple: 1) Either you can contribute, thus you participate. OR 2) You can't contribute, thus remain in read-only mode. There's no need to justify shit-posting.
Is there any history of non-bitcoiner turned a full node running volunteer ? Your read-only mode suggestion may kill the adoption rate of bitcoin. If you disagree, that may mean this forum is not contributing in convincing new people to adopt bitcoins.

There's no need to justify shit-posting.
What is your standard for shit-posting.
For example, I do see when a newbie asks what wallet he starts using. You simply lock that thread and move to thrash. But I prefer giving him exact answers so that he will be encouraged. I believe, for that encouragement only we are here.

See, government knows alcohol is injurious to health still they permits factories for that. Low quality posts are just part of this forum. Because worldwide people are not speaking one single language and you can not expect new people talks about higher end topics always.

If you do not agree this, you can make entire "Beginners&Help" section read-only  Grin. Almost every doubts were covered. Just a search function will be more than enough there  Grin

This forum does not even represent 10% of the Bitcoin user base.
From where you got the exact user-base of bitcoin ecosystem ?
Even a newbie of this forum has more than 10 bitcoin addresses (obviously with some satohis from faucets) in their blockchain.info wallet.

It is probably impossible to stop the spam but it is definitely getting better.
Spam is different and low quality topic/post is different.

Moving a topic after 100 pages of discussion into off-topic is completely strange. Suddenly a good discussion becomes off-topic. Moderate posters become spammers.

That is why we have Local boards!
You cannot understand the pain of non-English speakers. I came to know my local board after years.

It's not fucking loose! IT's lose!! We might fucking lose a possible Bitcoin adopter!!
My OCD is kicking in.
Corrected. One good example how non-English people SPAM HERE. Still you understood what I tried to say there.

Why Satoshi has created this forum ?

I agree with spam contents we cannot spread awareness of bitcoins to new people.
But we cannot expect non-native English speakers to participate into higher end discussions.

Just imagine a non-English 20 year old boy joins here and enter the general discussion board, if he finds a topic bitcoin is money or investment, he will try to say something but if he sees ONLY discussions like high technical subjects for example about segwit, he will probably close the tab and will open facebook.

In long run we may lose a possible bitcoin adopter.

If bitcoin is only for native English speaker then we can have higher standards for topics and posts.
(still I doubt they will be ready to talk for tech topics)

Obvious spammers/ copy pasters must deserve their ban. No second opinion on this.

I view this forum is doing similar role of block rewards. Those who got possibilities run mining farm and earn rewards. Those who got interest to write about cryptocurrency, join here and earn bitcoins. But we need to note here that both are just bitcoin adopters without adopters there will be no life for bitcoin system.

But recent changes seems a heavy deviation from motto of this forum.

That is your point of view but please place it in the right place sir not here. I only am looking for a job and if those high level campaig managers won't hire then thats ok . I would still continue to promote my work until someone gives me opportunity that's it.
I am sorry for any possible off-topic.
Still, if you fail to learn a lesson from that, definitely this forum does not need you as a manager. When you learn something, you will not find my post off-topic.

This forum does not really require more managers
No. Certainly needs more managers (yes, obviously quality mangers) just to reduce the dominance and to get rid of the attitude of 'thinking themselves as God'.

See here: http://archive.is/xs8FD how a campaign manger runs a campaign consciously.

You are caring about others quality and inactivity but you have forgot to do your responsibilities actively/consciously that too for two weeks ?

I only just noticed now, but it appears that you hadn't updated my rank for the past 2 weeks. This weeks payment for me should be 0.042 instead of the 0.0399 for a Sr. Member. Sorry I didn't catch it. Thanks!



There's a total deficit of 0.00392 across the past two weeks.

It's a small amount, but I'd like my rank to be updated for next time Smiley
