[Question] What Areas are lacking in the forum?

[robelneo]

How about creating a brand new account level so every newly registered account will be redirected to a sub-board name: New Member introduction where there is a pin thread about forum rules and he will have to follow the right format in introducing himself and part of that format is asking if he read the forum rules once he posted his first post which is introducing himself the whole section will be opened up for him.
So new members are all aware of the forum rules.

Just my two cents of opinion, that you can ignore.

I'm still quite new and this answer doesn't directly come from Bitcointalk's community so I may be wrong with my answer, but even then it's still good to find a grasp of what commonly happens whenever a forums section pops up.

Going generally off other experiences on forums and game communities it's always the Languages sections and niche sections only a certain group of users on the website would be interested in that are often the most lacking, in terms of activity and community. I know that Bitcointalk has these Language sections but I never stepped foot in these communities so this answer may be very easily wrong, especially seeing how huge Bitcointalk's community is.

Fun Fact: It's always the 'General' 'Marketplace' or 'Off-Topic' subforums in communities that seem to ALWAYS thrive. People always want to talk about the [topic/game/website], people want to make money through the use of marketplace and people always love to talk about things unrelated to the [topic/game/website], so they use off topic. And so far I'm quite right about the marketplace section here. Bitcointalk does have tons of sections here and I've barely explored them all so sadly I can't give out an accurate answer even though I want to. Hope this has made you learn something though


If we're talking about the issues as a whole I honestly don't like how they would rather ban trolls but not scammers. Like what? Why not just ban both.. Scamming is farr infinitely worse than just some harmless trolls trying to get a reaction out of people.
