Wow so many rules. People are free. Should able to give away whatever they want. I'm unsure how you think you will stop this?
I'll just repeat what I said thousands of times: This is not a community owned online forum as that's practically legally impossible. This is a private discussion forum owned by theymos. He has made rules by which you follow or get kicked out. Regarding enforcement, ummm, well, we just ban those that create on-forum giveaways. Not exactly difficult. |

Hey, I was wondering if there could be some discussion of the bump rule in the marketplace section. I think that in addition to the 24 hour per thread limit, there should be some sort of limit on how often a user can bump multiple threads. This is a problem because some users have 5+ active threads that they will bump at once, leading to a lot of clutter. At times the first 10 topics are only from 2 or 3 different people. I think a 2 thread per 1 hour limit on bumping would be reasonable, since it would solve the problem while still allowing people to have multiple active threads. This rule wouldn't even apply to most people, since it is rare to have more than 2 marketplace threads at once. Another small thing I would like to point out is that the "examples" section under the rule list seems to be misnumbered, but this isn't really a big deal, just thought mprep might want to correct it. Fixed the example numbers, thanks. Added you to the credits as well. As hilariousandco said, it's being discussed among staff, however, many suggestions hit the ease of moderation argument as the more complex the rules, the harder it will be for us to notice them and enforce them, although the bump button did sound like something easier to manage. |

OP of the unnoficial rule thread here. If I'm not mistaken, the server is hosted in US. As such, you'd probably should avoid in-depth discussion of illegal activities in the US. For example, discussion of how illegal drugs affect people physically or mentally in the Off-topic board I guess is OK as it isn't prohibited by law to speak about illegal activities (documentaries on TV and youtube channels, etc. do it, hell, even wikipedia explains it sometimes), however, asking how meth is made would be deleted, if not noticed first by the authorities.
Don't quote me on that as it probably depends on case by case basis and certain things might be open to speculation (like is it actually illegal, is it prohibited to talk about that,etc.). This is just what I gathered from my obervations over the few years I've been here.

hi guys i have a question regarding multipools. in this case its about an official pool of an altcoin. why is there a problem with pool updates every two days in the corresponding altcoin ann? especially if nobody of the coin community is complaining about it? @mprep i just saw you posting here too, to be precise its about the BTCD ann and crackfoo's pool (actually just realize you are the OP  ) Yes, there is a problem. As per the old BadBear's rule, posting any kind of service (pool, exchanges, etc.) in a coin thread would be prohibited, but after discussing with PMing with him some time ago, I managed to allow one post per thread (only for pools, exchanges, block explorers though) about their service (more so a "we're up" message). Unless you have explicit permission from one of the admins, you are not allowed to post more than one of such post per thread. Thanks for the answer. Do you mean with one post really only one post in the thread? ( or would be a update every x days ok too?) One post in total unless explicit permission has been received from the admin(s) to do otherwise. And no, updates of said post every X days is not allowed. |

EDIT: Changed the OP FAQ by creating a new section at the bottom called "Legacy questions (no longer relevant)" and moved the question about the avatars there. Kind of keeping it in case I need it for whatever reason. |
