I just received an email that offers 1500 BAT tokens for installing brave browser.


There is google form for claiming reward that contains address of a fake website.
According to whois.domaintools.com, the domain has been registered just 10 day ago.
The official website of Basic Attention token is https://basicattentiontoken.org/ and any other link is fake.

Be aware of these scams.

I don't think the implemention of your suggestion is difficult. Because now there is a same thing in "report to moderator" page. After you click on "report" button, you navigate to the board containing the reported post.

We need more clear rules.
All of us know that plagiarism will lead to permanent ban. But the rules regarding spamming, multiple posts in a row, insulting, etc. are not clear. Unclear rules can lead to different behavior from different admins and moderators toward different users.

The rules should be clear.
X times multiple posts in a row = Y-day ban
If X % of your Y last posts are deleted you will be banned for Z days.

I posted a new topic regarding how to quote posts in topics that are locked. Hope that is helpful.
For this purpose, you should quote a random post in a topic that is not locked and follow two simple steps.

First method:

Use the code below:

X: the username of poster
Y: Click on the post you want to quote and copy what exists after "topic="
Z: Use epochconverter. Enter the exact time the post has been created and copy "Epoch timestamp"

The problem of this method is that you have to make the original post again and it's too time-consuming especially when there is a photo or a complicated code.


Second method:

Quote a post in a topic which is not locked.
Then you should change the url.
Change the number exists after "quote=" to the number you see at the end of the url of the post you want to quote. (Don't change the number exists after "topic=" or you will get error.)


Using the new URL, you can quote the post in the locked topic. But the problem is that clicking on the quoted post will navigate you to a wrong page.
For solving this problem, change the number exists after "topic=".


Using this method there is no need to change the username of the poster and Epoch timestamp


Using the second method I could quote the post made by Theymos in a locked topic.

As it is already said, the house edge guarantees that the gambling website is profitable. The house guarantees that the house beats gamblers in the long term. Besides, Gambling websites consider a maximum amount for the profit a gambler can earn in a single bet. As every single bet is independent form other bets, a gambler might bet a huge amount which is more than the amount the house can afford to pay.

You are right. I changed the subject to "ANN threads that are probably using bumping services"

However the new bumping system has caused spammers to no longer be able to bump the threads, there are still many newbies spam ANN threads. Project owners are trying to have an active thread and there is no doubt almost all of them are scammer.

It's very difficult to cash out at a certain multiplier manually and as you said cashing out at 1.01 or 1.02 is almost impossible.
If you want to cash out  at 1.01, 1.02 or any other specific multiplier, you should use auto cashout. This is what many of users are doing at Rocketpot and cashing out at 1.01.

Is this the new kind of abusing freebitco?
If you don't visit the website in order to becoming eligible for claiming that bonus, you are an abuser. In this way, you would abusing freebitco's generosity.
Freebitco gives that bonus to attract those who have forgotten freebitco, not people like you.

I am in favor of enabling quotes in locked topics. But you can use epochconverter for adding the time of quoted post.
Enter the exact time the post was created and click on "Human date to Timestamp" button. Then Epoch timestamp will be shown.

Here is the code for quoting the post you referred to.

I don't agree with you. I think minimum number of posts requirement is needed.
Assume that there is no minimum posts requirement. What if there are many users who make only 1-2 posts per week while the campaign needs more active participants?
Be sure managers will likely remove such participants as they have the right remove anyone. So it's better to more clear rule.
I think the better solution is to have a limitation on maximum number posts. (the maximum number of posts that are payed cannot be more than X.)

Consider moving this thread or the previous one to "Bitcoin discussion" or any other related board. The thread might get more attention if you do so.
But, it might be needed to make a new self-moderated thread to delete the posts that are made by junior members and above ranks. Because there are many spammers in "Bitcoin discussion" that will probably make posts without any attention to being a newbie requirement.

Merits should be given to posts without any attention to username of the poster, the rank and number of merits the user has already earned.
If a legendary member makes a post and receive certain number of merits, equal number of merits should be given to a newbie if that post had been posted by him.

I had made a topic in Gambling discussion board regarding Different odds for a same bet in sportsbet.io
I asked about the odds that have same outcomes but have different odds.
For example, Romania and Sweden will face each other tonight.
The odds for draw are 3.20 while for "Any to team to win? No" are 3.05
The odds for 0-0 are 7.40 while for under 0.5 are 8.91

I posted that here so that thread might get more attention.

Posts are deleted usually because they are off-topic or considered as spam. But there are some other reasons too. I checked the thread you posted in. The post you have replied to has been deleted by moderators. So your post should be deleted too.

When a post is deleted, you receive this message. "Please avoid posting things that need to be deleted."

I suggest avoiding reply to the posts that need to be deleted too.

Yes, that's normal.
"Service Announcements" is one the four boards that have been affected by new bumping system. So, in this board, the topics are sorted by their bump score as default. You can If you want to see the topics sorted by the time of their last post, just click on "last post" column header.

The hourly faucet is not 100 satoshi. That's very lower for new users. They can get only 23 satoshi per hour.
With wagering, the amount of free satoshis you can get per hour increases. That's why you are now getting 100 sotoshi per hour. If you wager, the amount of base hourly faucet can increase up to 19 times.

Generally an overall approach shouldn't be applied to all the threads. This should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Most of the times, it's better to open a new topic. Sometimes you should reply to the previous topic (Only if you think that cannot be discussed in a better place and you have something worthy to post)
The decision on whether to post in the old thread or open a new topic should be made base on the discussion.
As steamtyme said, sometimes it can be a good idea to pm a user when the thread have been inactive for a while and you want to reply to a certain user for asking a question or answering to a question and you think there aren't any other user interested in your post.

I don't think it's a good idea to make a post in a thread and make it visible for getting old spams deleted. It's not worth moderators time.

Also, I think that the forum want users to avoid inactive thread as much as possible. When you try to reply to a topic that has been inactive for more than 120 days, you get the following message.

"Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.

The house edge is 1.5% or less if the jackpot is taken into account. If the jackpot is not considered the house edge is higher. As I was calculating the probability of hitting 1.00, so I didn't consider the portion of house edge that goes to jackpot.
As far as I know 1-1.5% of the house edge goes to jackpot.
