What defines trolling, and is it against the forum rules? This would be key questions to answer before the administrators consider implementing your suggestion.
The bump score is meant to reduce bumps which are as a result of incentives, or a single user creating multiple accounts to give a thread more visibility (than it deserves)

I could be wrong in this case, but the trust score, could be useful to qualify the general interactions of a user (since flags are now exclusively for scams), be it positive, negative or neutral.

Utility token should have a use case, and should be relevant in the functioning of the platform on which the project is built, this is the only way to ensure profits/revenue accrued in the business would be reflected in the price of the tokens.
But there are lots of nuances to the value of a cryptocurrency, and as stated above, speculation does play a huge role.

I just checked the odds from some betting sites, and many have actually increased the odds of Barcelona winning that fixture, hence giving them a lower chance of winning the game.
This offers the other players a chance to prove themselves and we get to witness an example of Barcelona after Messi.

They have tried four different managers since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, and at least two of the were world class managers. They have also spent lots of money on the pitch acquiring talents and boosting their squads.

The problem may not be the managers or players, the team may be to try a change in management. The board could be the problem with the club.

The forum is already doing a lot to protect newbies from scammers, but it is important to note that not all newbies on the forum are new to the cryptocurrency space i.e. they may not be complete novices.
It's almost impossible to fully protect the public from getting scammed.

When getting into Bitcoin, and when one has actually purchased or earned some bitcoins, they should be able to protect themselves from some basic scam attempts.

I'd still like to see that welcome message implemented, to see how much it improves the firumy

Just like malwares and viruses are getting updated regularly, and we have to also do same to our device protection apps. That's the same way we have to regularly be on the lookout. Scammers regularly change their strategies. As a long term investor or a trader always be up to date with the happening around the cryptocurrency space

P.S; I'd be locking this thread now, as it seems to have run it's course. Thanks to all for the advices and suggestions.

I totally missed it on that thread, although I have seen the post quite a long time ago on the actual board it was posted in.


Some others care, but in the wrong way, some use it as click bait to attract other members to view their project's information offering bogus promises, while some use it to attract users tk their threads (possibly for merit gains).

Would be interesting to see the team selections and match managements from the premier league teams in the UCL (Liverpool, Man City, Tottenham, Chelsea) as UEFA's premier league begins next week.

Fatigue would start playing a part, and you should out that I to consideration when placing a bet in any of those teams going forward.

I think it's the quantity if scam and poorly organized projects which have been created over time. It was very popular during the bull run if 2017 and lots of projects we're carried on hype and FOMO, this attracted lots of scams into the upstart niche and it eventually became saturated.

Now, most investors do not consider it worthwhile to take out their time to dig up the good projects from the multitude of failing ones.

This is unlikely to happen as the buyer was also involved in the transaction and would also get tagged for unethical behaviour.
It is a new system and we may have to give it a few weeks to fully gauge and access it's flaws (if any) and make modifications where necessary.

I have introduced lots of friends and families to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.
I usually get the most interest during the bull market when those looking for a quick bucks try to get in.
But most of my family member have gotten ingrained with the concept and have almost perfected the art of trading and also the usefulness of cryptocurrency.

Adoption is still low in my region

In my opinion, that thread by theymos should be a sticky thread on the beginners and help board or should be added to the HELP option of the forum as a hint for users seeking help on how to properly use the forum posting options.

It's unlikely they'd risk him for the full ninety minutes, he would likely come on as a sub. But fixtures such as these are bound to be very tough regardless of who is on the pitch. Barcelona would be looking to bounce back from their shaky start to the season. And Valencia would want to start the new era with a memorable victory

I don't think it's that much if a crisis as at now. Kompany's departure is not a surprise, and it has been an outdoor quite sometime.
Injuries are a huge part if the game and except a team is lucky, they would have their fair share of it during the course of the season.

I'm just getting to understand the concept of house edge. It seems a little like an insurance policy to ensure a certain amount of profits go to the house.
Do you think this can be implemented in actual games like sports, animal races etcetera? Or those depend solely on bookmarkers who set the odd to reduce the probability (or amount) of winnings based on possible predictions.

This is an underlying problem that the club management has to tackle. A club that has spent the amount of money Barcelona has on sign-ins over the past two or three seasons shouldn't be dependent on just one player (no matter how great that player is).
There are quality players, but not enough quality in the technical crew to manage them.

I never thought I'd see Manchester City being tagged as 'not a real competition' this season. They are still the top team in England, and the caliber of teams they have faced does not reduce their quality. Liverpool have also had a brilliant start (100%). There is little to pick between both teams so far this season.
Man City do not have to go panic spending during the next window. There is no crisis, maybe a defender.

If I understand correctly, you are suggesting that trust should be handled automatically based on programmed rules and guidelines. I am not into tech, but I do not know the probability of that being developed, but I also don't see the necessity. Every aspect of the forum is handled by forum members, hence the human interaction. The system may not be perfect, but there has been much changes recently and that has improved how it functions.

Can you explain further about the relationship between trust flags and the banking system?

The proof of authentication posts and signature applications only contributes a little to the underlying problem. The bulk of the posts made by the bounty Hunter to fulfil tasks (If it's a signature campaign) is what should be the primary concern.
Other users do not go into bounty/ANN threads looking for relevant posts.

Bounty managers should be encouraged to filter their selection process and only select members who have a track record of making quality contributions. And I would suggest a regular audit to ensure users are maintaining their regular standards of posts.

I prefer steady profits with less risk than potential high rewards which comes with a commensurate risk.
Hence I would rather go for the slow moving bitcoin currency that the faster moving and highly unpredictable altcoin market.
As a day trader, you should be protecting your capital, and a part of that is going for the safest investment option.
