Some agreements for the India forum

[dashingriddler]

I have some conerns about this new activity value policy and i just doubt to what extent these formulas can do justice.
1. It is not possible for any one to have a activity value much more than number of days elapsed since registration no matter how much really you are active
2. If two people are competing for a higher activity value and say the first guy has 50 activy and second one has 200 activity. It is impossible for the first guy to over take second guy until the second guy skips posting for many number of two-week periods.

OR am i missing something?

High recent posts were being misused to increase the ranking. That is why there is a change and the registration date has taken precedence.

From what I have seen, by being active and helping/ trading with people, your reputation gets far better than an activity.

But no, you are not missing anything.

There is also "post count", which is different from activity and can be viewed on clicking the member's name.

[dashingriddler]

Yes that is true. So a combination of activity value and post count on their profile is a better combination of info to judge than just post count.

So I'm brand new to this forum, actually this is my first post to an internet forum period.
I can not reply to a lot of the the group buys i want to and it is because of this member ranking system?
I understand that there is a community here and this is a good way to build trust and regulate spammers, but..
Where exactly are the newcomers expected to post when they can't post to a topic that drew them into the forum to begin with?

theymos has been discussing removing the newbie restrictions, but I have not seen that happen as yet.

For now, this is the best regulated model that we can afford. Maybe in the next few updates, we should see the restrictions dropped.

You are forgetting trust system. You can't Judge/trust peoples with just postcount and activity.

Xactly....

The only thing missing from the statement above is 'Use Escrow'. Trust ratings, bans, abuses etc count for crap once the con has happened.

[Benson Samuel]

Dear Benson, I know you are a reasonable man, you have proven that before. Do you think after I pointed out the issues with that thread it deserves to exist?

Reasonable as I am, I have already mentioned that I will be ignoring reports from your side of the coin. And I have.
I do see that someone else has locked the old thread.

Are you asking me to delete a thread?

Here is another bit of rules from the global Alt-Coin section. These are hints and suggestions, not rules.

Q: Do you moderate/delete (possible) FUD, accusations and untrue information?
A: No. We don't have enough time to check every single piece of information and verify the validity of the sources. Also, just like scams - too much room for bias and abuse.

I tried to help from a personal request point of view to take out some time, but things started to get too darn time consuming, personal and distracting, hence I will not continue with that.

Besides, now I have no Idea what to do for you'll. The OP's have made posts, engaged in discussions and are still creating posts with their own reason. It is not upto me, but OP to change his mind if his problem is sorted. Skang did change his thread title. I did not have anything to do with that, so not sure as to why you have called at me again.
We do remove threads that scream SCAM for no reason, but OP seems to have given his reason for this here.

But, we can not allow the Trestor scam just because the promoters are son of some rich people. So, I decided to continue the thread. This thread will be open as soon as skang locks the original one...

Not sure what that means, but since you have been reporting these posts, you can rest assured that some Global Mod has been looking into this as well, as I just Ignore these reports.

And NO, I will not delete threads or get involved in advising OP. Last time I tried involving and it simply wasted a whole load of my time.

This thread is not for discussions like this. You are posting on as many threads as possible and some of them are in very off-topic areas like the section here.

Imagine if I get a ton of people to start accusing each one of the projects on this subforum, including exchanges, of being a SCAM.
Post several threads, lock them and leave them there for everyone to see. How would you feel about it?

This is why you'll eeeek out people here with these threats.

[Benson Samuel]

As from the post I made above the new thread is:

- trolling
- pointless
- annoying. There should not be too many topics about the same thing in a short time period. (and there is a specific, official thread to post to for questions about Trestor: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=890008.0)
- Respect everyone, It's all about Karma! (enough said)


There is an official thread for Trestor there is no need for another thread which is there merely to accuse someone of being a SCAM.
If you don't take action and you wash your hands of the issue then I don't believe you should be a mod of this subforum.
You should resign and get someone else that at least will look into the situation, someone with more time to moderate.

Of course it all goes back to previous personal issues, I don't blame you to have a biased opinion and are reluctant to change things.
You may even enjoy seeing a new thread with SCAM written in the title.

And is there a need for it when another thread has been closed after the same questions were answered?
Funny that you don't see this.

Don't think you read this

I did resign from your problem and I have left it to any other mod who has time to involve. We have an Ignore button on reports that get sent to other mods.
My duties of mod of the subforum are different - Not to delete threads that have been seen or to arbitrate others businesses.
OP had mentioned that he will unlock that thread, so if that does not happen in the next 24 hours, that thread is gone.

At best, I can move the thread to the main forums Scam accusations section, and you'll can hammer it out there. I obviously have no control of mod events there, so you can be assured that I am not involved or involving in this.
Even now, I am not. You seem to have some personal problem with me and it just shows.

[Benson Samuel]

No bad feelings Benson, just want to point out that things could have been handled better by yourself.
It's sad to see that a company who has many Indian people on the team has now decided not to post any longer in the Indian Subforum.
That is because of the amount of organized trolling experienced and the lack of support from Admins and Moderators.

Well done. I wish you guys all the best. In the name of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency hail to the Indian Subforum: the place where if you mess with the mod you suddenly get the whole community against you.
An applause to you all. 

Its not just here that people have not agreed to you'll, but on every social media/ public news outlet.
Even other sections on the forums have seen a lot of unconvinced onlookers, so don't pin this on the community here.
