No more Trollbox at Poloniex

[agustina2]

But we can't hide the fact that sometimes, people who have concerns about Poloniex are using the trollbox to get intouch with the moderators and staff. I have a problem last and no replies to my ticket all. Then I began crying at Polo for about 5-8 bumps then someone from Polo get in touch to me asking me some details about the problem. And then later just few hours, my problem was being solved. Faster compare when I send them ticket that tooks days on queue.

I will miss the trollbox that have lots of troll person. Even majority of them are like that and sometimes spreading FUD about a coin, still there is a good side of having it. We have an option to hide it in the first place it so I see no reason to removed it.

Your thoughts.

It was a distraction - I would minimize it always.
Waste of bandwidth with no purpose - junk!

poloniex is going to scam,,, so they remove the chatbox, i think

[Dudeperfect]

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.

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.

Lol their support is even worse, at least these guys are addressing it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954598

Bring back trollbox, it was fun to chat and trade, now it's boring.

I never traded much on poloniex, but to be honest, when I started trading few years back, I used to follow the opinions and advises from the trollbox but later I realised that it was the biggest mistake I was doing. Chatboxes are heavily used to attract the users in pump & dump schemes and almost each second guy keep telling you that how abcxyz coin is going 100 times up within a day.

BTC withdrawals are working fine, it's mostly some other coins that have withdrawal problems. If Polo wouldn't let users pull out their funds then BTC withdrawals wouldn't work either.

One of the tips i saw in the trollbox is to enable 2fa. It lowers the chance of withdrawal delays.

I have 8 days no withdrawal bts, 2FA enable. Poloniex reminded me of MtGox.

No trollbox, boo ho ho, what am I ever going to do.

Actually, it was useless.

Don't just open your mouth without knowing the whole story man that's beneath you, you can get invited to the chat box in poloniex now, so I think they are not trying to scam but I wouldn't be so sure completely trusting all my coins to them, no I'd diversify at least between 3 exchanges in total. if they want to scam they will just run off with millions of coins worth hundreds of millions in dollar.

Do you know the whole story ? They handle support tickets like a heroin addict handles her baby.Showing no sign of responsibilities.They have more pending withdrawals than market cap of one of the altcoins traded there.Recently,they denied from paying someone just because they were from Syria.

Your thoughts.

It was annoying anyway.Broken English speakers promoting shitcoins.Two deadly combinations to happen while you study the market.

We keep our funds in our drop fee hot wallets so that they can be accessed and moved quickly without losing money.  Anyone that is sitting on a large amount of Bitcoin or any coin that is on an exchange should lose their money anyway, just for letting it sit there.  We look at the background activities and what is happening and we do not support Polo as far as vouching that they are going to be there in six months or whatever, but there are no signals in the FIAT accounts associated with the upper group there and no signals in the local environment where they are that look like what happened at the other dead and gone exchanges.

We had our small hold of funds out of Cryptsy seven weeks before the end and that was based on one single set of ideas, the concept of investigation and research above all.

The basic signals for Polo at the moment is that the top team is simply cutting away the useless chatter that serves no purpose for the customers or the company.

[Chris!]

I didn't notice as I always have it hidden. I guess that makes sense though because usually I'd see it for a split second then it would minimize for me.

Thoughts? Idk, did anyone ever even listen to other people in the troll box? I occasionally would like to see some links for certain alts but those were far and few between.

[BitMaxz]

I think even its not really needed a lot for others its really need if there is a issue about the poloniex they chat fast in troll box to inform other people to withdraw their funds or careful if the poloniex was halving an issue.. hiding or removing trollbox i think its risky right now because they are planning to hide something this is just my opinion ..  since they alive for a long time and bitcoin is really high ..  maybe it will be the next trading site will be crash or hack.. better to be careful because they are doing strange these days. even my account experience of logging in even i am not logging in i am receiving email that i'm logged in.

At times it's entertaining.There is so much happening in it,you can't even keep track of the last question you asked.

The traders have developed a slack channel,apparently it's invite basis.Not sure how to get those.If anybody has any links,please direct.

It was a prodigious waste of resources. The mods spent most of their time with boilerplate responses and banhammering to keep the place clean for SEC eyes. Makes much more sense to reassign them to beck-end support where they can make a real difference. This is assuming that Polo is genuine in what it states of course - I've been around long enough to know this could be a subterfuge.

[Raja_MBZ]

Nice decision but man, that used to be very funny at some times.

Gonna miss it for few days, then will get use to it.

[P4ndoraBox]

Kinda miss it a bit as well.

[virasog]

There have been more than a few coin wallet issues and coin issues lately that have caused hiccups in many exchanges and online sites and the incessant paranoia and chatter just makes it a longer process to fix these things.  Businesses and corporations are getting more and more demands for "transparent" business based on the errant idea that they owe some level of this to the clients, they do not.
