Since 2024 started, I have seen changes in discussion behavior in forum which have changed quite a lot compared to 2023. Yes, of course we all know that the most fundamental change is the banning of mixers and all their campaigns from forum.

Maybe I'm still too early to draw conclusions because we are only 6 days into 2024. However, I really feel this change is very drastic, where the bitcoin discussion boards and economic discussion boards which are usually busy suddenly don't have many comments and there is a shift to gambling board.

Are the habits of discussion behavior in this forum only based on the campaign? And all the discussion is just about meeting campaign quotas?
If bitcointalk posts weren't monitized, you would see many people who are passionate about discussing here. But since the signature campaign has become part of this forum, both people who are interested in the money and the people who are  posting passionately are somehow controlled by the money factor.
About post increase in the gambling section, I can say that the gambling section is the only section that isn't boring, especially if you know sports and gambling.

This place is the same as the real world, for example, if I go after people in power/government, in my country, I'd end up in prison, harrassed for the rest of my life or end up dead. While in here the possibilities are the same, only difference is that many people around the world can hear my voice.
Many people in the forum can hear your voice as well, but the difference is that some who hear your voice are as helpless as you are. That's how the system was designed to be.

The “sudden drop” in discussions in the forum is not because of the mixer ban or lack of signature campaigns. Take a look at the calendar. Even bitcointalk members have normal lives. The Christmas and New Year’s holidays are over but many families are still taking a week or more to enjoy this time with their loved ones. I believe things will go back to normal in the coming weeks.

There is nothing good or bad about it, bitcoin's two main purposes are gambling and trading. Roll Eyes
I'm not sure that's the main purposes - but in my opinion, the gambling industry and businesses are just using bitcoin to make a lot of profit. Bitcoin was not created to meet the demands of the gambling and trading industries - both industries are simply taking advantage of bitcoin and the growing direction of its use cases.

OP - I honestly didn't pay much attention to it, but this is a real consequence of banning mixers on this forum. Posting activity may increase at any time in any section of this forum including gambling discussion boards and others - however, this is not due to a ban on mixers. So far I've rarely post the gambling discussion board [at least in the last two months] even though I really wanted to post something about Liverpool in one of the thread there - so I wasn't really aware of any changes there.

Maybe I'm still too early to draw conclusions because we are only 6 days into 2024. However, I really feel this change is very drastic, where the bitcoin discussion boards and economic discussion boards which are usually busy suddenly don't have many comments and there is a shift to gambling board.

Are the habits of discussion behavior in this forum only based on the campaign? And all the discussion is just about meeting campaign quotas?
That is to be expected. The thing is that this has been raised quite a few times in the old board as well. The fact that banning mixers will force the whole forum to gravitate towards gambling discussion, since most of the signature campaigns in the forum right now are from gambling sites and they each oblige every user to post a certain amount of comments on gambling boards.

This could work two ways in my opinion, either it could make the whole forum better, since as we all know gambling boards is one of the least productive and contributing boards in this forum courtesy of all the braindead posts and comments left by some users just to meet their quota. The influx of users that are now going to post in the gambling boards could flip the table and allow the board to be more healthy, more intelligent, and be more inclusive.

The second outcome is gamblingtalk. Since every signature campaign is pretty much gambling-related nowadays, and each of them require you to make a post on the gambling boards, the whole energy of the forum will shift towards gambling and if left unchecked, this could literally ruin the whole forum as everyone would either post on the gambling discussion board to catch the eye of campaign managers who are hiring new participants, or of course, already participating signature campaign members posting exclusively in the gambling board.

I can see the forum gravitating towards the second option, and honestly the only solution I can find for this is to make it just as appealing to talk about other things than gambling. I don't know how the mods and campaign managers will be able to pull this off honestly, but it is definitely necessary.

Yeah honestly m8 I think it is still too early to tell. I don't think singlehandedly the banning of mixers has caused a huge lack of activity on the forum, just like you are saying its only diverted itself into new topics on the forum such as gambling. I think that you're definitely right that activity is shifting, and who knows maybe with time the activity will shift back but 6-7 days in is definitely super early to know for sure.

I do not see a problem with changing the behavior of users unless they are forced to do something. Once you force someone to do a certain behavior that he does not like here, you will expect that the return from that work will decrease over time.
Campaigns do not force users and may not set minimum limits. Those that do set minimum limits, the campaign manager must verify the degree of activity of the member on that board. If it is a gambling campaign, then the campaign manager must search the account’s past to verify the quality of his posts in the gambling board.
