No more Trollbox at Poloniex

i think the moderators are handling it quit good..

[richsoon]

Trollbox was always a waste of space and just a place for people to spam their pump and dump schemes. I never actually understood why poloniex even bothered, I mean its also become unreadable lately with the increase in users the text passes too fast to actually read anyway.

[NeuroticFish]

Hiding the trollbox used to be one of the first settings I've done at exchanges. I will surely not miss it.
It's too hard to moderate such spambox, really, so I think that it's a good decision.

This should be in service discussion. But thoughts are finex does fine without trollbox its not really needed.  You can join live chat places outside of trading platforms if you want to chat while trading.

Cue a panic sell of BTM, heh.  No more pink names and kudos marking.  

It was mostly just a stream of incoherent babble anyway.  Can't say it ever served any tremendously important purpose and I can see how trying to moderate it was a huge burden of time and effort.

Might miss banhammer.gif a tiny bit, though.

Concurred.

Why was it removed? I want genuine reason not personal opinions.

Yup, plus the page load times look soooo much better without all that noise.

It's a shame. I love laughing at the idiots posting utter crap on trollbox. It also helps to pass the time.

"To meet the increasing demands on support staff, the Trollbox has been disabled indefinitely and moderators have been reallocated to assist in support."

A temporary measure.

Good riddance.

I don't know why there is no trollbox at Poloniex. I've been using it for a while but there are many members are banned by moderators because of spamming for 1hr-1day depend on the case that they've made. Maybe that is the reason why they removed trollbox in poloniex because its useless, there are many hard headed on trollbox as I experienced.

[shamzblueworld]

Its good that they have removed it, it was just a waist. But there can be a slight disadvantage to us users of poloniex too because now we won't know what the people are trying to pump or dump... the fuds were quite important to guess what might happen next.

Thoughts - Great!

It was probably a good idea at the start, to have a comment or conversation section
where anyone could view but lately its just unreadable, annoying and pointless really.

Yes the chatbox was way too messy, and all I see there is people shouting: "HOLD X-COIN" "Sell X-Coin now!" "What coin should I buy?", and the Mods banning people for speculation.

If anyone have questions to ask, it would be better to just contact the staff or ask in the official forum thread. I do not see any point in having the trollbox when it brings no benefits and require the mod to stare at the screen wholeday and go crazy. 

Right choice to do, since there are so many complaints about staff not being responsive, might as well relocate them.

I appreciate this decision as I believe that now we won't see constant opinions of the pump and dump investors. On most of the exchanges, I have seen that chat box is misused and it misguides the newbie investors who are ready to invest financially but having no adequate knowledge of the market. It not only distracts the investors but it plays a vital role in panic buying / panic selling conditions.

[SyGambler]

oh so they disabled it ?? I have no idea cause Poloniex froze my account and my IP is locked now 
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1942358.0
so the only way to reach their mods isn't available now , which makes people keep waiting for their shitty support without being able to complain in public !! Smart move

Trollbox is not even mainly used for that these days. Mainly because people complaining a lot about withdrawal and deposit issues and poloniex trying to cover it up because they can't keep banning users, it just doesn't work.

Either way, it's going to be the downfall of poloniex.

I would expect everyone to switch to bittrex soon.

the disadvantages of a chat(troll)box on an exchange is a lot more than their advantages.
there may be cases of someone having some question and needing some live support kind of thing, like for instance i had some trouble in c-cex with their wallet and their chatbox helped me right away instead of waiting for the ticket to be answered.
but in 99% of the times the chatbox is used just for trolling and hyping/FUDing some coins for personal gains.

If it was me i would enjoy it. Laughing and banning and getting paid for it. Great.

Poloniex did a good decision to hide troll box.I don't think an exchange need troll box if they have live support.its really very hard to communicate with thousands of peoples and solve their problem.message are gone in a second.well some people like chatting so troll box can be used for only chat.iquary or complain can be use by live support or email support.
