Can you link the thread you are trying to relply to here, I'm not aware of any general restriction to posting in that board.
Is it possible the thread you are attempting to reply to is locked?

Do we have some section in forum for Defi projects and new tokens listings?
To answer your question, no, there's no specific section dedicated to DeFi on the forum, but it can fit into a variety of boards in the altcoins' section depending on the context of the topic.
DeFi has attracted quite a number of discussions and could have a child board, this however is up to the admins to decide, for now you can use the forum search option to discover posts and replies related to it.
4163  Economy / Reputation / Re: This user was scammed by bitcointalk account seller (Deserve Tag?) on: July 31, 2020, 04:11:47 PM
Buying accounts is technically not against the forum rules, but it's unethical and highly discouraged. It shows an attempt to cheat the system and is most likely a means to simply monetize the forum or attempt to scam other users using a higher ranked account. Also, the buyer in an account sale is as complacent as the seller and getting scammed does not indemnify them.

The users' profile is new but it's difficult to tell if the owner of the account is, it's also impossible to tell the motive of the purchase. Imo, a neutral or negative could be appropriate.
4164  Other / Meta / Re: buying back my account on: July 31, 2020, 03:54:31 PM
I havent had access to this account since 2016 unfortunately and i dont remember having any secret answer or anything of the sort. I have access to the email used to register the account and can verify nearly all transactions/addresses pre 2015
Secret question is not a required feature and not everyone has it set up. When an accounts' details are changed, a mail is sent to the original email address to confirm this change or recover the password, this link expires after a couple of days so it's likely no good now.

Theymos hinted that it's possible to recover an account even without a signed message from a previously posted address, send a mail to the recovery address, preferably from the original email and provide as much information as possible. Good luck!
4165  Other / Meta / Re: buying back my account on: July 31, 2020, 02:39:45 PM
I just want to make sure that noone but me can use that account to post anything further etc.
As the account is banned no one would be able to post through it, however the previous holder of the account who is in control of the valid login details would be able to; access the account on a read only basis, including posts and private messages, and recently there have been cases of this means being used to scam people (users claiming ownership of banned accounts as they can read the messages sent to it).

If you had secret question enabled, you can use that means to lock the account by attempting to recover the password through it. This should prevent any access.
4166  Economy / Economics / Re: US economy suffers worst decline as GDP contracts by 32.9% in the second quarter on: July 31, 2020, 06:19:06 AM
Trump's promises were merely political in my view and a bid to instill voter confidence as elections draw near. So much damage has already been done to businesses and as such there has to be a period of recovery where the market normalises (or the economy ceases to contract), after which, the nation can enter a period of economic expansion. Which is the phase the U.S has been in since the last recession.

The economic decline is the direct result of the effect of a pandemic, so trying to flatten the curve is one of the best routes to rebuilding the economy and not pumping more money into the market. Although this is needed to keep businesses afloat, but needs to be done in hand with slowing the spread of the virus and it also needs to be done holistically; injection funds into select businesses could create a greater gap between classes and further hurt the economy to the gain of a few.

I see it used in such situations where the initial content of the reply or post has been extensively discussed in that thread and quoted repeatedly. Deleting or editing such post may confuse someone reading it later on, a strike through on the other hand would give an idea of the original content which spurred discussion, it would be kind of awkward editing a post which has been replied to based on the actual topic of discussion (deleting topics is not allowed).
This is the practical use I can think of including maintaining transparency, at other times it's usually used for humour.
4169  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: "Signature Campaign" does work for marketing? on: July 29, 2020, 09:43:17 PM
You could organize a test run and see how effective it is by checking how much traffic your signature created for your website. There are many good means of advertising and they are all effective if done efficiently. Some campaigns prioritize quantity over quality, thinking that spamming their signature across the forum would bring more results, this does more harm than good most of the time.
You however can not go wrong if you hire one of the top managers as they are quite experienced in handling projects.

Not sure on the science behind comparing the spread of stuff coming out of your mouth when it comes to face mask / face shield -- though I assume that it'd be more helpful to wear BOTH or just wear the mask.
It will. It's also more about what's coming in than going out. When on a face mask the air you breath is filtered as it passes through it, this doesn't happen in the case of a face shield as the air comes from the openings around it, it offers some protection, but the virus isn't completely airborne but present in droplets when an infected person releases it through sneezing, coughing, or talking before falling to a surface. If one is in close contact with an infected person they could easily breath the droplets around them in.

OP isn't suggesting an auto-lock feature, just that mods would take a look at it.
By automated, I meant a system where a certain number of reports from a certain rank would be a threshold to get the attention of the mods which the OP was suggesting, and as one report could do the job I felt this would be unnecessary.

I don't know if others agree with me that signature campaigns bounty managers are somehow responsible of this issue, as they accept counting posts in any thread.
I agree with this, especially with bounty projects. Most of the current signature campaign managers do well to handle spam by carefully selecting the people to wear their signatures as well as reducing the minimum post requirement. This would lead to less spam as users are not forced to post more then they would naturally do.
4175  Economy / Economics / Re: Global Migration of Millionaires. Can Bitcoin change this scenario? on: July 28, 2020, 06:15:50 PM
Some of those countries with strict laws extended that to Bitcoin with some regulating it and some banning its use outrightly. While most nations in the freer zones are less stringent and has a cryptocurrency friendly environment, encouraging its use.
It's possible for some people to go through the hoops in areas where Bitcoin is restricted but if they are wealthy enough they could rather choose to move to a more friendly environment and live comfortably.
4176  Economy / Economics / Re: Richard D Wolff: Democratize the Corporations on: July 28, 2020, 05:46:29 PM
- One worker, one vote
It's possible to have an open cooperation and make multilateral decisions based off opinions of others. But there exists a core need for a management team to decide what is voted on. They draw up the best possible options based on their experience and expertise. This would also need to be done across various layers; a cook at a restaurant could no very little about the best means of advertising, but would be able to decide on the recipe for a dish.

- Workers-owners
The workers are also the owners of the company; therefore, they get to choose what to do with the profits.
So technically, one would build an industry from scratch with their capital and every subsequent employee would automatically become a shareholder? This would greatly discourage investments; financial and intellectual.

- Not profit maximization
I can agree with a business which isn't entirely financially motivated but concerned with the livelihood of iits community of workers

Do you guys like this concept?
It has some merit but I can hardly see it implemented except of course with some compromise. The problem seems to stem from the higher class doing one over the bottom. If decision making was split across the various levels within an organization with each bringing a representative(s) looking after their interests and ultimately that of the organization we could have a healthy work environment.
4177  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion to reduce MegaSpam threads . on: July 28, 2020, 03:56:27 PM
If you feel a thread has become superfluous you can report it to the mods and if they agree they'll have it locked. Creating an algorithm with a number of reports and rank threshold for that is unnecessary, imo. It could also be exploited
4178  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Masks rule goes into effect in England as Boris Johnson calls anti-vaxxers 'nuts on: July 28, 2020, 08:08:48 AM

Globally people are losing faith in governments, some of these conspiracy theories are ridiculous, but when you consider location and events occuring, there could be some merits to their reservation, which is just being poorly communicated.

Mask rules should go into effect, just wear it. You even get to cover your face from the government watching you. That's something, right?
This is a no-brainer, if you do not want to wear one, then self isolate, this way you reduce the risk of spread. However not enough awareness is being spread on the proper use of non pharmaceutical measures.
In my area for example, most people are now switching to face shields alone, probably for the convenience and that it can be easily reused. This however brings a compromise as it doesn't protect by filtering the air you breath in and can only be effective when combined with an efficient face mask or social distancing. Some of them are also constructed poorly and do not give full covering.

I understand that, by design, the blockchain doesn't work that way.
I guess this part answers the main question. Omitting some information from the transaction data would leave holes and may even give out completely false details, in a bid to make it more user friendly.
I've sent txids to noobs overtime and it was fairly easy for them to understand, to make it easier I usually add a discription, so it is more specific.

Judging from this reply, that feature was deliberately disabled on the forum, so it's highly unlikely the admins would restore it. There are security/privacy implications as well as threads easily getting clogged.

Opening a separate tab is not much trouble and anyone interested in your content would look it up.
