I hate this forum

[botany]

Between the sig campaign spam and the idiots I just want to leave and never come back. It's really disappointing

There have been some measures taken to combat the signature campaign spam, the most notable of which is direct action against campaign operators.
About the idiots, you really can't do much. 

[Lauda]

It's really not that bad. You can turn off signatures in your settings. And if there were no idiots, no one would have time to talk on the forum.

Also do check this out because you may be interested in this - Signature Adblock Script [0.5.0]

Hiding the signatures doesn't solve anything. The spam is still visible.

OP, you have a valid point and people like Lauda and DannyHamilton has started doing something about it.

By DannyHamilton you mean their ignore list, or have I missed something?

Yet another thread about the problems this forum is facing won't help anything.

Indeed. There were plenty of threads about this.

It's niggrish

OP, this forum mirrors the typical internet society, just like any other forum. There are trolls, people who post drunk or on drugs, antisocial basement dwellers... and there are those who want to help and explain stuff to others. You can find a lot of useful advice on this forum, so don't be discouraged. You just have to learn to weed out and ignore.

No, it's not like you thought. I still depend on it for learning bitcoin or trading and I can get more earnings from this forum.
ofcourse, There are some problem occured in this forum but not much. I love this forum  and thanks for it.

[minifrij]

Based from my experience, this forum and reddit are the best place to talk about bitcoin even though there are some spammer.

snip

The majority of that paragraph applies to Bitcointalk too (I have no idea about the Reddit; I don't go there frequently).

In other forum, people freely can share scam/ponzi investment, they don't care if other users lost money because him/her

Similar to here. Bitcointalk has a board specifically for posting scam ponzi websites.

They also don't care about bitcoin future at all as long as they can earn money from it.

This likely applies to a large portion of the signature spammers here. They clearly show disregard for the forum its self, so it wouldn't surprise me if they felt the same way about Bitcoin.

Furthermore, moderators in bitcointalk.org is one of the moderators that i've seen in long time.

Did you miss out an adjective here? Best? Worst?

In other bitcoin forum, most moderators don't care even if their users scamming, fighting or manipulate each other.

This is the same here. Providing you don't make too much of a mess the mods don't involve themselves if a user is scamming or if a dispute is going on (bar personal reasons).

[Joel_Jantsen]

At least, the moderators in here is neutral and do investigation before giving negative trust or ban a user. In other forum, they simply ban all users who looks like the bad guy or totally ignore it.

Yes,I have to agree on it.Apart from stackoverflow forums,I've not came across such well organized mods elsewhere.Take HF for example,the mods are too quick in calling you a rookie and give negative points if your opinion differs from theirs.While on bitcointalk,after banning a user the moment he creates a new thread asking  why were they banned,hilariousandco genuinely writes a lengthy message tolerating the trolls.

Looks like a 'try-hard troll' to me. I could be wrong.

Negative trust has nothing to do with moderation. While better in many cases, the forum policy could be stricter with some other things (e.g. ponzi's, signature spam).

While on bitcointalk,after banning a user the moment he creates a new thread asking  why were they banned,hilariousandco genuinely writes a lengthy message tolerating the trolls.

Bitcointalk gives its users quite a lot of (underappreciated) freedom. A fine example of a 'negative side effect' are people who claim that participating in a signature campaign is a 'right' not a 'privilege'.

Yes I understand we are on the Internet. But I think it's a special group of people that Bitcoin attracts because they think it's some get rich quick scheme and not just money... Thousands of posts on how do I make x btc per day; the answer is get a fucking job then buy Bitcoin.

Isn't Bitcoin quite of the get rich scheme ? Started from $5 now we at $1024 , not "quick" obviously but you get the reference.It's completely okay to make bitcoins through the forum as long as you're not getting scammed or scamming anybody.Being a freelance programmer here,if I spend most of the time on projects I got through bitcointalk,I can easily make my living working from home rather than "getting a real job".

[barrysty1e]

sometimes i dislike this forum, but then i remember that at least its not reddit.

reddit is full of obnoxious, opinionated faggots; who feel they can request literally anything from the bitcoin team, or programmers in general.
having an opinion is fantastic; however if you have no skills or talent (or means), then shut the fuck up until someone else with the same opinion does it.
not to mention the 10000 shill accounts, or the headlines which just piss you off (<insert some vaguely irritating statement here>, then in the post itself <some meaningless opinion or farrrr paranoid thinking>).

then, the worst part, if someone is given a good answer that disagrees with their thinking, regardless of proof, they will just post some wordy, know it all, 'im not listening' to you response.
reddit does not control bitcoin or its future, i dont know where this thinking started, but its gotta go.

What you say is correct, but many did not know of bitcoin before the massive increase in price. The people who are treating it like a quick scheme were definitely not those early adopters. You are actually practising a skill as a programmer, Bitcoin and bitcoin forums are just additional ways for you to capitalize on a a real job. "A freelance programmer working from home for btc" is included in my categorization of "a real job" as Bitcoin is only a payment method in your case.

Some topics are really funny here 

[Actualiteit]

You can turn off signatures in your settings.

Oh damn, thanks mate. Pretty much half the space on every page was taken up by sigs, this is great!

[iram3130]

I don't think its that bad. You can take off the signature's if it bothers that much to you. There are some old folks who come here just to teach or learn some things.

[Jet Cash]

Just ignore any thread that has more than about 50 replies ( unless you've been active in it of course).

What? Really man.. we really apologize for what we have done to make you this mad find it in your heart to forgive us. Well i would like to explain why is their spammer's in this forum its because people here don't really have the time to post so they spam from it and as for me i really noticed that some of them are like a  child i am not being judge mental but i am just stating the fact that i really notice it and further more people in this forum has isn't afraid to get ban or get a warning really i think we need to put a age limit in this forum so that the young age can't register in this forum does who are not experienced but for me we really need to help the spammer's or to avoid them i am same with you but really its a big impact to me and i just ignore it so please ignore the spammer's and just chill your mind ^_^

[fieldman]

I don't hate the forum, but I do hate the things that you mentioned.

If you really want to leave you'd best start now.

this forum is good but too many spammers and scammers

[vicktor]

I don't hate this forum. I had some issues initially when I started. Thanks to the forum and the people on it who helped me. I'm still getting used to it. Whoever made this forum, THANK YOU.
