So ok...  What would happen if one of these players catch the bug while in training or during a match?  Shut the league down again?  

I mean...  It could happen.
It depends of the scale of the infection tho. If a player was infected outside of the stadium, most likely he will be excluded for 2-3 weeks or more. At the opposite if a horizontal transmission is spotted between players of the same team which can affect that team performance, or between +2 teams then this could definitely be a reason to hold everything again and of course cancel the Liga...

No matter how that player got infected as long as it happened on a league game the whole league will be suspended again. Just take a look at how the NBA suspended their league due to one of their players not feeling way and that time there was no confirmations yet if Gobert was positive of the virus. The same thing will happen in the league since symptoms doesn't show up just instantly you may never know if that player had catch it during his last game or two so everybody here is literally affected. Even if they had increased their medical security and everything I think this will be their procedure once a player got tested positive during the resumption of the season.
Let's hope that players will respect instructions in this case and don't gang celebrate after a victory in crucial game  Undecided
Now imagine a crazy player or staff in a team near the relegation zone and afraid to see his team downgrade trying to be infected  Roll Eyes

Forcing many rules and sanctions aren't the best way to solve things imo.
I support having a sticky topic containing advices, encouraging the use of template/format but not forcing the use of GOOGLE report format for example...
1 post per user per topic (bounties) that will be edited whenever necessary. But you cannot ask members to not post applications in a bitcointalk topic while you don't offer them an alternative, third party ones should remain optional but encouraged.
Holding the funds by an escrow or a manager was requested before even in signature campaigns AFAIK but it wasn't considered.
Many rules and one color topics remained me of communism
Best remedies is to stay away from that garbage called bounties.

Some small teams already started a small sessions of training like SPAL.
Inter Juve Lazio should start on 06/05.
Yes teams started training group of ~6 players with ~20m distance between each player for some teams, but full group training, which is important, will not be possible before 18 May. Overall it is good as a start and hopefully by June resuming games will be possible!
6985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: May 05, 2020, 01:05:44 PM
Nothing official yet but it may be possible to begin training in the third week in May and games in the middle of June + playing in half stadium only. They are waiting directives from prime minister..SkySport

Many people don't realize that after the corona virus crisis ends there will be another disaster waiting. Almost all countries print money,
and its effects will be felt after the crisis is over. The government will definitely raise taxes, because it's the fastest solution to make
the economy stable again.Therefore it is better from now that we collect bitcoin or move all our wealth into bitcoin. Because only bitcoin
which is not taxed.
Reducing army spending can cover all the damage caused by the coronavirus disasters, but no one will do it!
Some countries who don't produce oil are profiting from its low price and the reduce of its consumption due to confinement, but they will keep the profits aside...
I am not an economic guy but rich and businessmen are getting richer while normal citizens are sinking. Taxes may rise but for sure everything will be paid by the hardworking gentlemen... BTC can be an option to avoid some harassment but people will rarely move an important part of their savings there...

I don't know what's the relation between your post and the economic section but I recommend to contact the Google/YouTube team to recover your videos, although it may be difficult to recover 16 years old one?.
If the videos were very important then normally you stored it somewhere in CD or USB disc? Re-upload it if that was the case...

Good, bad, unhandled and somehow "classified" (no action taken which is usually the case), of course adding such thing will just put more unnecessary pressure on staff. Just said something come to my mind and realised its consequences while writing!

Support it.
The account is not banned.
My testbuddy was locked but according to BPIP is not banned.
https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?id=2797510

Here is a guide how to lock your account where i used my alt. /jk

It has been disabled for many, many years IIRC, it was because of a vulnerability in SMF that allowed hackers to obtain a database dump with the unencrypted security questions.. So if these questions were left as they were, the hackers could have used them to attack accounts, so Theymos disabled the feature.

The Security Queston featute is still ON!
Only the help link is disabled.
I just tested with a fresh accound and got it locked when I tried to recover it!

And wonder know why someone would proceed in "locking" his account after reading that warning message!!
6990  Other / Meta / Re: Top reporters! on: May 01, 2020, 01:51:25 AM
My report history. 728 posts reported with 100% accuracy. Why my name is not in the top 50 reporters list?

https://i.imgur.com/3e6YWqC.jpg
The list in my first post, which contains the names, was quoted from theymos post ~4 years ago, ~3 years before your registration  Wink
Iasenko has quoted a newer list, without names, posted ~1 year ago, which I found sufficient but not interesting.
BTW I don't see why someone would like to hide his name for something that should be proud of it but personally I respect his wish.

6991  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion: don't say "you are banned" on locked accounts. on: April 30, 2020, 01:56:33 PM
I agree and I think that locking an account the way it is actually done should be removed... (it is related to a hack done 5 years ago tho)

Less than two weeks (~12 days) from the halving and the price is rising near $9k which is good imo, the essential part is to maintain this progress until the halving. Such thing could keep as much miners as possible...

If there are four positive test in a row for Dybala, the official website of Juventus should confirm about it. I don't believe in news in this dull time. Unemployment pandemic is around us and fake news are born to help them keep their jobs and income.

The virus has not yet been fully understood but from what we have known till now, infected people tend to switch from normal (mild or assymptomatic condition to severe or critical condition from week 2 to week 3). If not switch to severe or critical, infected people should recover.

Usually yes but you can have some strange cases.
https://tg24.sky.it/cronaca/2020/04/24/coronavirus-bianca-dobroiu-modella-positiva.html

Here in Italy, for example, we have a 23yo model even if she seems in good condition is positive for more than 60 days.

Again, the news for Dybala can be fake is not confirmed yet.
The coronavirus test may continue to be positive in a person long time after he recovered or in case of re-infection which is possible too.
I don't know about the model but generally those people have a weird diet to maintain or lose weight so basically they can lack many vitamins and minerals, so the result is that they may be venerable, just like obese patients even if they are young.
Now if this turn true and he is still positive then it will be a major problem for Serie A...
6995  Other / Meta / Re: View forum on mobile on: April 29, 2020, 04:00:14 PM
After agonising research in the past, the best solution i opted in mobile was UC Browser (+3 years tho?). There is a scale option whenever i zoom in or out. It may look awkward the first days but once you get used to it, things gonna be ok. I just use it for bitcointalk and it is safe.
Cons: Chinese?

Hi theymos, can you update the top reporters table, it was long time since you did so tho.
I know this will not be considered probably but maybe top reporters by section too?
And what about the snitch badge? Tongue
Thanks Smiley

Here are the top 50 reporters by total good reports.

Thanks to everyone who reports! Even one good report is helpful. But massive thanks to those in this list: without you, moderation would be basically impossible.

Although most people in this list have very high accuracies, in general there's no need to worry about accuracy too much.

The saddest part about all this recent development of cancellation of other leagues is that, the clubs that were leading the table aren't been declared champions, what's the fate of Liverpool then, will the premier league follow the footsteps of other leagues?.

Quick reminder;
Belgian Football League cancelled
Dutch Football League cancelled
French Football League cancelled

English Football League ??
My guess still stands on this season getting cancelled for the EPL, if it all goes to the worst. But that will also depend on the decisions from the 3 other top leagues (Bundesliga, Seria A and La Liga) which i already feel can easily get cancelled as there were no clear-cut league leaders.

If Bundesliga, Seria A and La Liga got cancelled, there is no way EPL would maintain course.

I do hope the Liverpool Fans' dreams do come true thou.
With all respect to all leagues around the world but I can't compare Belgian, Dutch or even French leagues to EPL, Serie A, La Liga +/- Bundesliga.
This may influence the decision to resume or not games but if one of the major leagues is cancelled then it will have a huge impact. Still hoping to see EPL resume...
6999  Economy / Economics / Re: Mining: Halving will destroy the half of us. on: April 28, 2020, 04:21:40 PM
So to sustain the current mining profitability, the price has to double as the reward will be halved. But if large number of miners go out of the business - no one will escape the suffering! Expect increase in fees and longer waiting time as an immediate result of upcoming halving.
Like every halving there will be casualties. Small miners will stop their activities. Immediate price rise is unlikely to happen and even if it did, it will be less than the double tho, so yes mining fees risk to increase from now on and in the next upcoming years it will be harder for miners.

Basically this is what happened these days.

The Prime minister set the green light for the 18th of May for team training.
Papers are trash and created clickbait articles to get money for the hype generated from a possible restart.

The president of Seria A sent the protocol of what they want to do to play football with every possible security precaution to the minister of Sports.

The minister of Sports said, "this is not good enough".
The president of Seria A is working on a new protocol to be ready for the 18th of May.

To be continued.
Step-by-step, slowly, but it will happens eventually. With a nice decrease in the number of new cases and deaths by coronavirus, resuming training then games will be a matter of time, ~month!
