Yes it is. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1489846.0edit: sorry I forgot to say I used the Unicode "combining long stroke overlay" (U+0336) to get the strikethrough. I'm pretty sure BBcode is not enabled for topic text on this board. edit#2: If you can't figure out how to get the Unicode characters via the alt+ method, here is a website that will create it for you. Clever workaround.  Text do look a bit smaller, and it may not be supported in all browser/OS. I had those issues when I was designing a signature. Edited. |

Just saying you can't take a loan and say I will only repay the principal because 0.1 BTC = 0.1 BTC  Exactly how are donations comparable to loans? They're not. Because both of them involve money. The time value of money (TVM) is the idea that money available at the present time is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. This core principle of finance holds that, provided money can earn interest, any amount of money is worth more the sooner it is received. Lauda's point is that fiat value is irrelevant (I agree), mine is that time factor(/opportunity cost) should be considered.
Changing the required amount at this time would be unfair to the people that have previously donated. Exactly. if I already knew bitcoin then and part of this forum and bitcoin was only $10 I would have donate 50 btc because it's worth to be a vip of this forum but I guess it's almost impossible to donate $50 now..
Why would it be impossible to donated $50? You can donate any amount that you want, just don't expect things in return. He probably meant it is impossible for him to donate 50 BTC now. |

Why? If the quoted post is not insubstantial or breaking any rules, it should not get deleted.
You're asking the wrong question. If you quote post A (i.e. directly reply to it) in post B, and post A gets removed, then post B would be replying to something that does not exist. Similar things happen when people reply to spam, the only difference is that the bots get nuked. As an out-of-context example:
If someone signs a message, I quote it (so it would stay even if he edits/deletes the post), he deletes it, my post gets deleted too?
That's a special case example.
As a example: If you just deleted the quoted post, my post would not make any sense at all. It absolutely would. The content of the deleted post would still be there in your post, so anyone reading it will be able to understand and make sense of the contents. If I deleted the post, your post would still make sense and the OP and any other who are interested in this topic and are reading it will be able to understand that quoting a post that later got deleted could get deleted too. I still don't see why it should be removed just because the quoted post was deleted. It could also imply that if an OP is edited as to suggest a significant change in topic, all the posts on the thread (especially the ones quoting OP) will become irrelevant and should be deleted  (Well all the posts would be off-topic, so it could be justified than the above case but do mods actually do that?) Update 1: It wouldn't. Keep in mind that I've used the word "might" in my initial post.
It would. It isn't like we are the only two persons in this forum. The content of the deleted post could be useful to anyone. I am taking "might" to mean most of the time, such posts can be justified of getting (/deserve to be) deleted. |

Why is the VIP still available for 50 BTC? Why is inflation ignored?  If he had invested the 50 BTC elsewhere, he would have had more. It should be accounted for. Theymos will not change the pricing out of respect for the people who have donated previously, because 50 BTC = 50 BTC regardless of the fiat equivalent. In other words, if those people had not donated back then, they could have 50 BTC today.

If you quote a post and reply to it and then that quoted post gets deleted, your post might get cleaned afterwards because then you're replying to a non-existing post.

I think letting those who report know which ones were marked bad is a good idea. (Higher reporting efficiency, Less work for mods, Less bad reports) And a message that goes "This post/person was reported 10 seconds ago" so mods don't get too many reports on the same post(/person with reference to Beta). What would be interesting is a tracker of how many of your posts have been deleted by mods.
Yes but they would already get a PM that the post was deleted, which post was deleted. That would suffice as a warning IMO. Otherwise a per cent would be better |

I wouldn't trust a legendary I don't know. I wouldn't trust someone with 100000 green trust I don't know. so a dark green legendary should be worth around 0.05 or so to me. |

Kind of like asking my business needs a new board Edit Donating 100 BTC to the forum to have a sub-board under the same board might work. 10 BTC for renewing every year. |

ndnhc,
Not quite.
Let me build on your logic.
A and B play with a 0.01 bet each.
B gets disconnected... or disconnects itself it does not matter - this is an automatic retreat.
The retreat saves player B 50% of the bet - 0.005 and player A wins the other 50% - 0.005.
At the end the result is:
A: + 0.005
B: - 0.005
The results have been recorded and accounted for properly by the system.
No issue whatsoever.
That is not what happened both the times I observed it. A: 0 B: -0.01 |

It would end up pretty complicated.
Is it? Yep. Suppose theymos comes up with an algorithm that beats Google's that groups all the low-quality users and adds the feature, and a low-quality user clicks the button, will he ignore himself?
Ignoring himself sounds a bit silly, IMO. Low-quality users can still participate in any discussions, but neither of us can see their posts. It's like they are invisible around the forum, and discussing all the matters by themselves( or just ban them altogether). We will have weird looking threads with disconnected conversations. Better to launch a nospam.bitcointalk.org on invite-only basis for good quality posters like me. Will it be like he is banned forever or will he not be able to unignore himself?
FTFY. Either Both of them sounds good.  FTFY How will ignoring himself affect his Real Life...
Real life will start ignoring himself as well. Doesn't sound very encouraging... What if all the low-quality users end up meaning all the users of the forum?
Well, then there is no reason for this forum to exist anymore. Will the forum self-destruct?
Perhaps. For the survival of the forum, we should dump the concept. Spammers will be unemployed. Too many questions. I think we should change the topic. I think you missed out the main question(s). How do we define high-quality or low-quality users? By that master algorithm. |

In turn can we get a button to ignore people that fill this way about signatures? Would not want to waste their time or my own having to respond to each other in a public forum,when it would just be rubbing each other the wrong way. Feel free to add me to your list.  Okay. Two forums - one with sigs and one without. but I still prefer this one. Sig haters can choose to block signatures through settings but the posts will still be there. May be it is possible to come up with a feature that removes the post along with the signature - but won't the conversations be disconnected from each other? |

I just checked a couple of posts* on random pages, and the posts look genuine.
Yobit campaign have the worst ever policy of judging constructiveness by length.
Given that they have barred you from participating in their campaign, just move on. Find another one if you like. Threads like this only make things look worse.
*the ones that are still there if some were deleted. The rest especially the character policy comment holds.

If you literally ignore everyone, you can only go through your own posts, right?
I'm pretty sure he is looking to find a way to ignore all the low-quality users. That would be a nice feature, lol. That's if only it's possible. It would end up pretty complicated. Suppose theymos comes up with an algorithm that beats Google's that groups all the low-quality users and adds the feature, and a low-quality user clicks the button, will he ignore himself? Will it be like he is banned forever or will he be able to unignore himself? How will ignoring himself affect his Real Life...

Hello, Was testing out your game and I went head to head with another player, I won but did not get the 0.01 credited to my balance. I contacted support, hope it gets resolved. It is the bet I highlighted in blue.  Was it an afk issue? The other side got disconnected? Cause then you would not win the pot, you would simply not lose. Hence the statistics shows it as a win... I don't think you understand. A and B are playing with a 0.01 bet each. B gets disconnected. A gets 0.01 back, B gets nothing. I am hoping this is a bug. |
