Prevention is better than cure
Usually we use Report to moderators if we see spam post and that is cure of spam. But in few case we can prevent spam by reporting whole thread especially those thread are include question.
For example : Where I can edit my signature? , OP asked a question. Once I saw OP already got appropriate answer than I report to moderator for locked this thread and it's marked "good". Also thread has been locked. Because even OP got answer few people are repeating same answers on reply those are consider spam. If question is forum related than it's very easy to identify OP got answer or not.

Just just share this experienced because other reporter also can do it to prevent spammer.

346  Other / Meta / Ranked member's involved with ANN bumping. on: September 27, 2018, 09:18:36 PM
I notice many ranked account from member's to legendary involved with ANN bumping with simple comment "great project". Usually I visit ANN thread to find spammer and bot. Once I see any ranked account spamming than obviously I visit his post history. I surprised they are bumping ANN Thread randomly. Of course I report all of spam post.

Just want to know how many good report need to permaban for ranked account? There is different good report need for each rank ? Like newbie need 1 good report for temp ban and 3 good report for permaban (AFAIK). It will helpful for me if I got correct answer. So I can report other spammer instead of reporting whole post history of ranked account.
347  Other / Meta / Proposed guidelines for bounty managers. @theymos pls take a look and help us. on: September 27, 2018, 07:05:46 PM
As far as we know there is no any guidelines or rules for bounty managers. Bounty section became a important part of this forum. Bounty managers almost directly involved with spam. We can see different reaction regarding bounty managers from members. Day by day increasing scammy and spammy activity on bounty section.

Lot of members suggested different opinion to avoid spam and scam from forum. But I think nothing is possible without theymos help. Theymos should publish a guidelines for bounty managers. I write few suggestion (draft) below, theymos could consider some of them if need.  


Best option for me if required Bitcoin for bounty campaign. ERC-20 is useless until it listed on reputed exchange. Since this is Bitcoin forum so forum could require Bitcoin for bounty award. Bounty means advertising on this forum. If require btc payment by escrow than we can avoid scam & spam. At least they will not able to scam bounty hunters. I think theymos will not agree with it. So I would like to suggest to implement some guidelines or rules bounty managers. Forum should not give them freedom to promote scam ICO's.  



  • Bounty manager's shouldn't ask submit report on OP, bounty report should collect by Google form. Proof of annunciation can be post to avoid bounty cheaters.
  • Since scam(upcoming or ongoing) are not moderated by forum, no stake distribution on time frame will consider for scam. If a manager failed to distribution stake among bounty participant he should get temp ban for each campaign. 3 temp ban result will be permaban.
  • Managers shouldn't ask or forced more than 20 post per week for alt coin reward to avoid spam. Or they can pay per post
  • Managers shouldn't accept spammer and spam post on count.
  • Bounty managers shouldn't not ask reply on thread for airdrop, bounty and ANN Thread. If asked than thread should be trashed and OP should get temp ban
  • Thread should be locked after stake distributions.  Because sometimes people's reply even bounty is over.
  • BM should lock bounty, ANN and Airdrop thread if team unable to give appropriate answers against scam accusation.
  • Bumping thread with similar word of "great project" by newbie and Jr. Member is prohibited.  More than 15 comment a day like this will consider paid bumping except constructive discussion. If use paid bumping, thread should be trashed and OP should get temp ban.
  • Bounty manager's should not spend merit on his own bounty thread.
  • If need KYC approval for receive stake BM should mention in bounty thread. No mention means there isn't require KYC in order to get stake.
  • Both account should ban if caught managing bounty with alt account to avoid ban evasion.
  • Bounty manager's could add disclaimer on bounty thread, it's doesn't mean he/she will not get ban if stake isn't distributed on time. Bounty manager fully responsible if stake not distributed for hunters.
  • Duplicate thread are not allowed if previous thread trashed by moderators.
  • Bounty budget shouldn't decrease after end of campaign if there is more than 100 participant on spreadsheet.
  • Bounty thread should made self moderated to delete spam post. ( I am not encourage made self moderated thread for ANN. Because peoples will not able to share true opinion. They might be delete all negative comments. Better option is remove self moderated option from Altcoins Announcement section)    
  • Ponzi scheme should not allow to promote on bounty section. ( All ponzi scheme turn into scam eventually)

There is few question if bounty managed by themselves how it will control. My opinion, let them do it themselves by getting copper membership. At least reputed and rank members are not related with them. If hunters trust them and participate on bounty than nothing we can do.  But rules should applicable for all main poster.

348  Other / Beginners & Help / Your post history is responsible for your unmerited status. on: September 27, 2018, 11:44:17 AM
I was made a post about demoted member's. To be honest your post history is responsible for your unmerited status. After implement 1 merit to become Jr member, lot of people's trying to make constructive and quality post. Then also they are not getting merit. Only reasone is their post history. I am proof of that. I noticed few post deserve merit, but once I visit their post history there are only bounty report and online post. So it's discourage me for send merit to them. I don't know what is problem if you delete your spam post, and participate on constructive discussion. Most of seniors are visiting post history before send merit to demoted newbie and also I think it should be. You can't expect merit just creating single constructive or quality post if your post history is spammy.

Still I will strongly suggest, delete your post history those are spam. Then try to make or perticipate on constructive discussion. Perhaps some one will merited you.
349  Other / Meta / Blaming merit source by newbie doesn't make sense. on: September 27, 2018, 06:12:43 AM
Just realized right now, blaming merit source or an potential member by newbie doesn't make sense. During visit Altcoin Discussion board I was seeking to help demoted newbie. But unfortunately I used report to moderator button instead of merit button. Almost an hour I spend to find someone's for send merit. But most of post less than one line and others are just repeating same thing. That's why I realized why merit source and others potential member's discourage to visit such as board in order to help demoted newbie. Newbie with quality post are deserve merit but how to send merit for spambie. Also I noticed merit abuse on few post. People's still unable to improve their posting behaviour. Demoted newbies just blaming without improve their posting behaviour.

I believe slowly people's will change their posting behaviour in order to make decent forum. I think new merit system almost working effectively to reduce spam. Not sure how long it will take time spam free forum.
350  Other / Beginners & Help / How could we help improve & build a decent forum. Keep your role and help forum. on: September 26, 2018, 09:08:32 PM
To be honest we are all getting benefits from this forum. It could be money, knowledge or experience. But what we are contribute for forum? What is our role to improve forum? Did you think ? You shouldn't help to improve and build a decent forum? I think there is so many option to help and build a decent forum that we could keep our roles.

This post especially dedicated for newbie

I don't know if there is others similar post but everyone have different opinion. So I will describe my own opinion how can we help and build a decent forum;

Introduce new people's:
Somehow this forum introduced to us by others. May be our friends, family or other social media. This forum created by satoshi to introduced and expands knowledge about Bitcoin. So we can help this forum by introducing new people's in order to build a strong community of Bitcoin. Although currently many alt coin board is here to discuses about others cryptocurrency. So by inviting new members you can spread the word about cryptocurrency on the world and build a strong community.

Follow rules & Explain rules;
First we have to follow forum rules for build a decent forum. Once you invite or introduce someone you should explain him/her about forum rules. Don't just invite for earn money, they should meet the rules of this forum. This is the most important thing for this forum. A newbie should know about rules, spam, merit system, trust system and others. It can't possible to make a decent forum without following rules. This is your responsibility to explain all the thing once you invite someone's. You can read all important post    
[GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread, so it will be more easy to explain others.

Avoid spam:
We should avoid spam ourselves, before posting any board we must read pin post. Spamming is the main problem now in this forum. People's just replying unnecessary for signature or for increase activity. Our reply should constructive according to original post. We should avoid relying or posting those think already discussed on this forum. In case if you made a post that are discussed already before and someone mention you, you should locked or delete the topic in order to avoid further spam. If you have any question search before you make post and you should lock thread after got answers. So other people's will not able to spam on your thread. Don't reply if you don't have proper knowledge according to main thread.

Report spam:
You can see there is option report to moderator on right bottom of every post. Use it once you found spam post. If you find any post that are against of forum rules then help forum by reporting moderator. Once you report a post moderators will handle it. Lot of important discussion lose for spamming. You can report easily from patrol, especially newbie spammers. You can follow this post how to report and when you should report. [Guide] Reporting effectively

Report corruption:
Lot of corruption occurring on forum, you can identify them and post on Reputation to take appropriate action by moderators and default trusted(DT) member's. Like bounty cheater, merit abuser, scammer and others which is against of forum rules. Since there are many scam ICO on this forum, you can report it on Scam Accusation board. So people's can save their money from scammers. You can read this thread how to identify scam ICO.

Share your knowledge and Help others:
You can help people's by sharing your knowledge and experience. It's not important a person should have knowledge on every subject but which subject you know best just share it with community. May be someone will learn from you. But it should be crypto related knowledge. Off topic are not much important and you should avoid it. If you want discuss off topic there is a board for off-topic. If if you have best idea to improve this forum you can suggest to meta. But it should be helpful for forum.

Hand over your smerit:
Whoever are making quality or useful topic they are receiving merit from others and obviously they deserve it. So if you one of them(received merits) then please don't hold your smerit, just handover to others by send merit on quality post. If you not found quality post then at least spend your smerit on good post. Holding your smerit is not any benefit for you. So please try to help others especially to low rank.


Default Tust (DT) member selection: *New*
Forum give us opportunities to choose DT member ourselves. As well as you know DT members help keep forum safe and clean, especially from scammers. You can keep your role on selection of DT members if you already earned more then 10 merits. You can vote a person for selection of DT if you earned 10 merit. So if you earned 50 merit you can vote 5 people's. For more details you can read DefaultTrust changes. How can you vote ? It's very simple, just go to your Trust Settings, add the name on empty box taht you like to vote and click "Update". So help forum by selecting DT members whoever deserve according to your opinions.

However, never mind if you are not agree with me. I just share my own opinion.
351  Other / Meta / Theymos should reconsider amount for "Donator" and "VIP" status. on: September 26, 2018, 06:33:38 PM
Theymos start a post get Donator status by donating 10 BTC on August 19, 2011. Post last edited on October 3, 2011 and thread is still alive.

I am not sure, perhaps theymos no need donation for forum;
theymos multiple times said that currently forum don't need donations. They get enough revenue by selling ad slots.

However, there is still  opportunity to get vip and donator status. I believe few peoples encourage to get such as status although any one can donate any amount to show appreciation.

I think theymos should reconsider amount for donation accordingly bitcoin price. On August 2011 bitcoin price was 10-12$ only, That means 10BTC=100-120$.

If you donate 10 BTC (which pays for about a month of hosting), you get donator status:

Most likely theymos calculate according to one month hosting payment. I don't know how much is current hosting cost for a month but I don't think it will be worth of 10BTC. So I think theymos could consider donator status for worth of one month hosting payment.

Quote
I think this is almost became impossible to get VIP status lately. Also theymos should reconsider about it accordingly bitcoin price.

Although theymos no need donation but I think many peoples willing to get Donator and VIP status. Especially I saw few post regarding custom title, few peoples want to get custom title. I think forum will not lose anything if reduce amount but members will get benefit by custom title(whoever willing).

353  Other / Meta / Theymos pls enable show trust rating on Bitcoin Discussion / Beginner's & Help on: September 24, 2018, 10:25:37 AM
Edited post and title:

It's seems enable trust rating on Bitcoin Discussion board become more important. Scammers are targetting that board to scam people's. For example this post. Because, especially new people's will fall into their trap. Also there is disable trust rating. Since Bitcoin Discussion board is most important board, I don't know why has theymos disabled trust rating. I am not sure what is the problem if show trust rating all over forum? So is it not better to remove trust system ? Trust is for prevent of corruption from forum. After got tagged from DT it will reflect on profile. So what is the meaning of hide from specific board ? In fact every one will able to see once visit his profile. But mostly new people's will not do that, and they will fall into scam. It has been happening. So I will request to enable trust rating on Bitcoin Discussion. If possible it's better to enable all over forum.


I don't know exactly why trust rating hide on Beginners & Help board. Also I try to use search before posting but there is no similar thread (I didn't find).

However as far as I know most of newbie visit on Beginners & Help board. I think they should meet with trust system. I can bet so many people's even don't know trust system. Once newbie will see someone have positive(+) or negative(-) trust, I believe they will try to discover it (IMO). I do not want to shorten anyone, just want to introduce trust system to newbie.

Edit;
I want to request show trust rating on local board also. This come on mind just because of this case. Really tag against of corruptions, so if it's doesn't reflect on local board than may be few people's will fall in scammers trap like I mention above.

Especially if any tagged members try to scam on local board or try to promote scam or ponzi scheme than people's will not aware about it. Perhaps people's just check trust rating when they are going to make trade. I have doubts that most if people don't do this. I noticed few people's got scammed by accoumt saller. But saller already tagged for scam. That's means few people's still don't know to read tagged.

I noticed few local board show trust rating like Chinese, than why not show in all local board ?

New title(rank) introduced by Jet Cash called spambie. Thanks to JC for discover new title. Really it's not fun, I realized the title and just want introduce to all. Recently so many accusation or complain regarding new merit system. But if you visit their profile you will realized that they are spambies instead of call newbie. Most of them are one line spammer and they are complaining about merit and meriting post of high ranked account. So I think it's really appropriate title (spambie) for them. Problem is they just want earn merit, never try to change posting behaviour. We are every one was newbie here. But we try to learn first then try to contribute something. Unfortunately current situation is different. People's just join for earn from here, especially bounty. I know it's not wrong. But once they see they need merit to be rank up than they start complain which is not fair I think. So called them spambies isn't wrong (IMO).

Those people's are just made complain instead of contribute something really they are spambie. Few people's are joined less then week and they are complaining about merit and meriting legendary. Actually they are not aware about all of rank and required. They just like to make complain.
359  Other / Beginners & Help / I am not fan of KYC on: September 22, 2018, 05:35:08 PM
I am not fan of KYC. I know there might be other threads about KYC. But I would like to describe myself why I am not fan of KYC.

Main reasone of I am not fan of KYC is fake ICO. How can I trust them with my personal identy even they are fake themselves. Many ICO asking KYC for airdrop, bounty and buy token. There is high risk to provide them my personal details. If they scam and use our identy on wrong way than what can we do? Nothing, we can't do anything with them. They might use it others illegal activity which is harmful for us. Suppose they can launch another ICO with using ours identy than what we can do if we are not aware about it ? But we will victims if they scam again. Also they could sold your details, like you can buy email list of crypto investors. Lot of ICO I have seen they are used others identy. Once we asked real persone than he don't know about that. But unfortunately we can see team has verify some of website like ICO listing. That means they are steal identy of others. That's why I am not fan of KYC.

Also there is chance hack of database. Imagine, if hacked database with KYC details than what happen? Hacker could use KYC details elsewhere. So obviously KYC is a danger system.

Before submit your KYC must know about their background. Some website we can trust like bittrex. But it doesn't mean we should trust all over ICO. Can some one explain why it is necessary to submit KYC for airdrop or get bounty stake? I don't think so it's necesarry. All crypto transactions are anonymous. So why I need to verify KYC.

In my opinion investors should ask KYC for ICO team. Because investors are investing their hard work money. Team should prove themselves they are real. May be team will explain to avoid multiple account they are asking for KYC. I am not agree with that. I can create multiple account even with KYC. I have family member and friends so I can used their identy to verify KYC. So it's not appropriate reasone to ask for KYC.

Be careful before submit your KYC on any ICO website. It might be harmful for you once.
360  Other / Meta / "Backup Phrase" for recover hacked account. @theymos on: September 22, 2018, 05:08:17 PM
How it will work if implement backup Phrase for recover Bitcointalk account? Recover hacked account become impossible for Bitcointalk lately. Not much response from admin for recover account. On current system there is no other option to recover hacked account except admin help. Backup Phrase (12 word) will allow user to recover password himself. Usually hackers change mail after hacked account or hacked with mail. In that case its very difficult to recover account. I am wondering if backup Phrase or similar something implement for forum, it will easy and safe for recover account.

If some one activate backup Phrase and wrote down on hard paper than user could recover account himself even hacker change email address. However, I think there should be something to recover account by user. We can see many account recover request on meta. I would like request to admin please help them (ASAP) who have enough proof of ownership. And think something new to recover account by user himself.
