It depends on financial statuses and the ease of transacting in Bitcoin is ones home country. If I spent my income regularly and there is very little I can get in actual BTC currency, I would prefer to be paid in fiat or a portion in fiat and the other in BTC, rather than having to convert to fiat whenever the need arises.

My decision would also lightly depend on the organizations' relation of salaries to fiat, i.e, if salaries are permanently and averagely fixed in BTC values and would not be adjusted during a pump or a dump, I may consider getting my payment in Bitcoin.

This answers a part of my inquiry. The original trust system was intended for trades only, but with the creation of flags, it now covers much more than that and post on reputation board also now covers more than that, making trading discussion look like a bad fit for the child board.

I don't think a sub board is necessary atm, it would confuse a lot of things, putting it in Meta is also a bad idea in my opinion, would bring too much drama. I would go with making it a board of its own.

I have been contemplating the most suited section for the reputation board for a while now, for several reasons I feel it shouldn't be a child board of Trading discussions which is in the economy section.

The board is meant for threads related to [account] reputation, and it is much broader than the Scam accusation board imo.
Most of the threads in it are not directly related to trades and are rather about forums stuff, such as merits, the trust system, account trades or use of multiple alts.
Also every so often, posts meant for reputation are posted in Meta, until the OP is advised to move it to the more appropriate section.
So basically, Meta is meant for discussions about the forum, while reputation is meant for discussions about the members of it.

Should Reputation be a child board of Meta?
Or should it be a board of its own?
Or is it perfectly fine where it is?

I personally think the all have the same odds, give or take as long as they are virtual games, in which the results is controlled by the service provider.
They may require a bit if intuition from your part, but ultimately follows a pattern which you can not predict or control.
The safest for me, which puts most of the odds in your favour are real life sports and races. There is a little presence of match fixing and elements of cheating in animal races, but I consider it the safest bets for a gambler.

There are a couple of situations that are not stated explicitly to be breaking the rules of the forum, but which you are likely to get an investigation for and possibly a ref trust because you were deemed to be engaging in unethical behavior.
One situation is, account sales and the other is using multiple accounts in one campaign.

The former is not against the rules of the forum at all but poses a problem which the majority of members consider worthy of note and most of the time a red trust. The same rules apply to the latter is most cases.

Don't act on emotions when you lose or win in gambling. Most people get frustrated when they lose and try desperately to recover their loses. This is hardly a strategy and there is a very little likely hood of the gambler profiting.
If you're confident of your next bet being successful then you can double your wager, this should surely be dependent on your assessment and not the desire to recover your capital.

For people like me who are mostly into real life sports, it's a period of break, as the only available options are virtual sports and dice games.
Does anyone know of any indoor sports which can be played safely even during this period?
There are many sites where you can gamble online, some which are not already listed on this thread include; Bustadice and Roobet. Gamble responsibly.

IMO, the entire thread should be thrashed if the original post does not pass the objective threshold quality level of the moderator of that thread, a strict policy in this may not be possible, but mods can be given guidelines on how to act. While, a thread should be locked if there are quality discussions in it, but it has already run it's the course.

As regards legitimate posters who may drop replies on these threads, a notification could be sent out, as it's done with deleted replies, notifying the user of the thrashed thread and by extension deleted post. Normally they should not have more than one or two replies on such threads a week as they are sometimes fairly easy to spot, and they'll be able to cover up if they are on a signature.

Also, probably a typo, but your topic reads 'threats', instead of what I think you meant to be thread.

The cryptocurrency space can survive even with the pandemic, it's a digital age and everything can be done without a gathering being necessary.
But the Covid-19 is real and it's impact is also real, it has claimed lives and a couple of technical personnel would be lost to it, furthermore, except the use case of a project is directly linked to the promotion of health and safety of the globe it would not attract much attention. Majority of the world now would not be bothered much about the intricacies of the financial market, they'll simply want to have cash in their pockets to get their daily needs.

How about you hire a marketer who would handle the publicity of your new token? That way you'll be getting professional service for your project rather than random replies from other members of the forum. You can use the service section already linked on this thread to scout for someone to fill that position.

This has been suggested before now and I remember a comment then drawing attention to how this can become a loophole which can be exploited by spammers and scammers:

A user can create a post and use an alt account to report it for a very vague reason which is most likely to be ignored by the moderator (except they chose to personally look for possibly issues with the post). After they've reported the post, the option is removed and other users can no longer report the post, so it likely remains up. Also other users may think it has been reported already by a well meaning member and not look deeper.

Viewing the first page allows you to read the original post and the general idea of the thread from which the other discussions flow, so it is only fitting you view that first before any other page, especially if it's your first time reading that topic.

Also, you can jump to the last page of any thread with multiple pages, by clicking in the last number on the title layout in the board. I use this feature on topics I frequent inorder to follow the latest discussions on it.

I do not have think a stricter policy is necessary. Theymos when discussing the rules of the forum left a but if wriggling room for the moderators, especially when they are handling borderline cases were there is no clear rule regarding. So I do not think the mods are restricted by the stringency of the rules as they can take actions as they can take actions based on their own objective assessment of the situation.

As has been mentioned, don't beat the matter too hard, such services can not be curbed entirely, just do your bit by reporting and messaging where you think more explanations may be necessary.

Hi mOgliE, I also hope everything will.be alright with you and those around you. Stay safe, we'll all pull the through.

I'll throw in an extra one merit just for the effort.

OP, Use the search function more to help you word you post better as you can read about the ideas of others in relation to that topic and it also avoids duplicate posts.
Going through your recent post history there are a lot of redundant questions and rehashed posts. Put a little more effort into reading and you would see your post quality improving.

I have been caught up in situations like these, were I see something online and eventually put it out as a post on this forum only for other users to debunk it. It's a harsh learning process but it allows you to know which knowledge to accept and which not to and it teaches you that not everything you see online is completely accurate.
I consider this better than holding onto the wrong notions about a particular topic.
One shouldn't make guides on topics they do not know much about though, but the fear of mistakes shouldn't hold one back from learning. I make it a habit to indicate that I am open for discussions so more experienced members can either approve or correct the ideas I put out.

What should make an investor bullish is a project with an actual real world application and it not being a duplicate of an already existing project. Anything beyond these, the project can only survive for so long before it starts to go under.
Project developers can use any of these methods listed as a means of attracting investors and yet still creating a useless coin.

I would advice everyone to stay away from ICOs, STOs or IEOs, a very huge percentage of them turn out to be scams or poorly organized projects.

The priority now should be restarting the league in the best conditions to prevent the spread of the the virus. Restarting next season early enough should no be a major factor in that decision.
Football is great but the survival of humanity is far greater. Restricting matches to be played behind closed doors would reduce a major spread of the virus but would endanger the players who can not work from self-isolation conditions. Until the pandemic has been effectively defeated, there should be no discussion of restarting the league.

This is a helpful reminder but we can't make a post in Meta whenever someone breaks the forum rules.
Reporting to moderator is the most consistent way to ensure the rules are being followed religiously. Majority of users do not open the unofficial rules or if they do they fail to read between the lines and miss some of the vital rules
In no time this particular post would be buried under new ones and we would still be facing the issue.

If a huge number of community members report posts that break the rules it would go a long way in clearing such posts.

There are many reasons to encourage one to hold stable cryptocurrencies especially during this period of crisis.
It facilitates the transfer of relief funds to areas where they are needed, this includes international transactions. It can also be used a a payment option should the traditional banking sector collapse or begin to lag. For now physical cash should be completely rules off if we hope to contain the spread of the virus.

The speculative value is still a criteria to hold, but not many people are thinking long term at this point. So any measure to drag the world through this pandemic would be very welcome.
What currencies (crypto or fiat) do you think will survive at the end of this period?
