If theymos wants to socialize bitcointalk little more, he should create an official btt account on instagram, right now its the best place to grow a community, but of course the account needs to be active for that.

Yeah, a youtube channel isn't gonna go anywhere,  not unless the content is really good and attracts people. 99 bitcoins started theirs, and I can't tell if their channel helped people or not. Youtube is more or less starting to become hmmm.. old-fashioned, as some would say. 

To add on to what others have said, there should definitely be one very elaborate explained thread in the mining and hardware section, because there seems to be a lot of confusion over there. I know, this thread exists, but still a more detailed explanation for the apparent heavy moderation there should be explained a lil more, don't ya think?


Global Mod btw. _{jk don't ban me pls.}

Has the ban rate gone down or up in the recent months? , you know instead of keeping the important or rather suggested threads on top of the board, why not keep on the side. Something similar to what reddit does.

Oh speaking of suggested threads, can that be implemented? Like the most merited threads could be sorted by that, or something that separates the shitposted fuckfest threads from the genuine ones?

Posting quality means in one way, you contributed to the forum, and besides, it was a sarcastic remark. 

Not really. If these are going to be rare coins, might as well make it count!

Just so you know, almost 95%(Ddmr Ddmr/LoyceV, you can correct me of course with the right stats) of users registered in 2010 aren't active, and they *left* the forum.

My say is that the coins should go to those who deserve the most, for the years of contributing some people have done here, the least they could get is a collectible. 


UM ME TOOO!!!!

It'd be cool , if we all chipmixer participants have a collectible coin of our own too, to remind us of how much we have tortured the scammers, nae the faint-hearted.

Oh me likey likey!!!!

So basically only Chipmixer campaigners get it? 

Features:

Each coin to be specially designed as per each user's UID and have their UID engraved in it. Or even better, engrave the user's avatar and name on one side, and a default bitcointalk logo, or anything that exclusively defines bitcointalk on the other side.

How about THAT?

Also if possible, load the exact amount of satoshis/ ubtc/mbtc equivalent to the merit/post count of the person receiving it?

Post count doesn't matter anywhere, so even if they are spamming, it won't fetch them any merit, and besides most posters there are bots, and no matter what you do,its gonna end up being useless. And like others mentioned, more and more fucktards would come to meta and fuck up words, not to mention that they'll start meowing at Lauda.  

Besides reporting posts that are a bannable offense, report the posts of users, that have their profiles more or less active in the last 3 months, otherwise its just a waste of time and effort I reckon.

Don't go too much on reporting old posts, it doesn't really help the forum, but its your decision.

Have you tried using firefox? It works just as fine for me.

Chrome works well for me as well. What's your hardware and software spec list?

idc about your stupid rule, but please tell me you're NOT leaving this forum.


Ik you're probably sick of how bad things are, and how annoying it gets, but just wanted you to know that things happen for a reason.

I strongly suggest you to talk to someone, either a therapist/trustworthy friend/family member, about anything, and figure your shit out. Take a break, stop caring A LOT, but don't just quit things.

Take care of yourself, and I'll have you know that, a lot of us here love you too, and respect your decision.

Trust issues, personal agendas, different community perspectives et al. That's from the dramatic side.

Scams, pyramid schemes, other illegal activities that have been prevailing here, has caused the community to grow this way. What else do you expect, when some of the most trusted people here(example: Master-P), just scam innocent people for a few pennies.

Most people come here for money, and only that. As much as I hate saying this, Bitcointalk is no longer a proper home for community projects, its very rare to see some actual initiative.

Can we not just have an area dedicated to this whole file, as in when we go to the trust page, we could see the table content of who trusts/distrusts who?

Won't it make things easier? Im a dumbhead, ignore me if I am too stupid to understand things.

I like this idea, it definetely needs to be tweaked here and there, but I would like this idea be a real thing.

Just like how VIPs and Donators have access to a special board, we could actually keep a board for discussions that's helpful, that's more or less diverted to guiding things for anyone who's looking for new information or to debate about something real.

My view over this idea is entirely different, and I quite don't really know how to explain it. I just want this forum to be a place to actually ask questions around ffs, and less of drama. I have read more about DT and merit in the past year, than what I have of bitcoin. WHAT THE FUCK EVEN!

Right.  

I still don't see a good enough reason for why one needs to give more than 5 legitimate feedbacks, let alone 10.

I see things going two ways:
- The trust mod abuses his power, and until things get resolved, the whole forum would be upside down.
- The trust mod does his job, and some people would just create a fucking myriad of accounts , try to defame him in every way possible, and one mod won't be able to handle every single scenario instantaneously,people will start raging.  And besides, he'd act based on his opinions, and a lot of people won't like his judgement regardless of the fact that however fair he is in terms of trust moderation.

NOPE!  BAD idea, very bad idea.

This place will become into a absolute shithole if that ever happens, because of obvious reasons.

Didn't he delete some spam-feedback a while ago?

There have been instances where shills log in every day, just to give spam-feedback to those who they despise so badly. So your idea might not really end up working.

They don't go away, AFAIK.

Nope its different, technically. No one has ever been banned for this, from what I can remember.

I think Lauda's idea to limit the number of feedbacks is more than enough, besides, people can delete and repost their feedbacks anyways. 

Rather why not change the whole format of the file?

Maybe a proper constructed table like this maybe? .

|	User_ID	|	User	|	Trusts	|	Distrusts	|
|	35	|	theymos	|	xxx yyy zzz	|	aaa bbb ccc	|
|	03	|	satoshi	|	xxx yyy zzz	|	aaa bbb ccc	|

This quiz thing might be helpful for a lot of people who don't really know a lot about bitcoin, at least in the technical aspects. I like this idea, and would love to see the idea taken into implementation, in some way or the another.

I'm not sure about the whole idea of the knowledge point thingy, but i'm sure a lot of us would be down for something new around here.

Mods don't really need training, cause all of them know their shit all too well. The mods were only appointed after their year(s) of experience in reporting, and there are hardly any new mods, the last newly appointed mod was Welsh and he was modded months ago, it must be at least 6 or more months since that happened.

You're wrong about it this, Speculation Board isn't really a spam-fest. A lot of good posters post there, and the spam isn't(comparatively) bad. You could just unignore the section, if it bothers you so much, or don't bother creating topics at all.

Threads like these could be locked, yes, but its pointless knowing the fact that only more threads pop up.

So what would you do? Just keep locking up threads? That is not going to stop users. Even banning them won't. We should really make signatures an earnable thing after you reach a certain rank or whatever, and not a free privilege. That might possibly help out, who knows.

Thanks.

Like suchmoon said, bad idea. It'll fuck up things for the worse. Scammers would have a better reputation and will seem more trust-worthy than the scam-busters, if such a disaster were to happen.

Yes, but very few of them are aware of such links, and there's only so much of bookmarks that you can possibly have in your bookmarks list. Idk, just thought it might be worth mentioning, maybe not.

Is it possible to create a script that provides a checkbox option in a thread which allows to report multiple posts that fit under the same category?

This is going to be SOO FUN. Especially for people like me who aren't on either side of it.  God love me some nice drama.

Part of me wishes somehow some dumbasses get into DT1 and cause a whole chaos around, just to see how the aftermath of it would be.

There is? Is it the every monthly thingy?


Okay, here's the thing. DT members don't tag users for their opinions, at least most of them don't.

There's a reason why people use fake accounts to tell stuff:

- Either because they are scared that someone would go through their history, find any links that could their other accounts, and make their whole basement life a massacre.
- Or because they want to lie about DT members and try to ruin their reputation, using a fake throwaway account makes things easier.
- In the past, there have been many circumstances where people couldn't explain their issue properly to DT members, and in  the journey of making things better, they did things like retaliation and what not, which some DT members don't take it easily.


There's so much more but sometimes just common sense is all you need, ffs.
