Forum moderation policy

[Omang7778]

Look all the stickies especially in Meta board and also Unofficial rules. And as you have limit in searching, you can use external services like Google, just use site:bitcointalk.org after the word/line you want to search, eg: Unofficial rules site:bitcointalk.org

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Does anyone else get the feeling that a lot of noob shitposters--probably account farmers as well--are posting garbage in these stickied threads?  I'm thinking they've learned that their posts get deleted in the spam threads when the whole thread gets nuked, so they're posting on ones they know aren't going to be.  Or maybe that's just my cynicism and paranoia speaking here.  Still, I think the theory has some validity.   I've recently reported a few zero value posts from stickied threads.

No, you're right, they are posting shit but probably not because they know the thread won't get deleted. A lot of them will be using bots so maybe it just chooses the top thread and a lot of them are just copying posts from earlier in the thread as well. I nuke both instances.

rules are rules. these rules are good.only content relative to respective  topic this one is good idea .it's very impressive.i am new i will always follow this.

We all know that thousands of posts are being uploaded every second and then it becomes a difficult job for the moderator to cope up with the situation well.

I think the best policy that  is worth following in this case includes the consideration of following contents as inappropriate one such as personal information regarding any one, use of foul language and uploading the content that is highly sensitive such as  link for any website or so. The moderator can do his job in the best way only showing the content related to the topic and avoiding all other.

I don't think there is one. What words or abbreviations are you confused about? I'm sure somebody could help you out or write one up if there's demand but I don't recall seeing many native to here so a quick google search may be all that's needed.

1. Free speech
But why does my posts been deleted? All my post are related to the thread but it was removed im polite and i have manners,but still my posts are dumped. Can't understand.

[Sarah08]

How difficult would it be to implement a voting system for posts using the current forum software?

That would lead to  a large scale of moderation which would limit free speech as opposed to nudging posts towards civility and relevant content with a given group.

I still believe that the large pools should have their own subgroups

The forum moderation policy is very good. One point though; I think that you should remove "uninteresting" since that is completely subjective and there is no way an honest post can avoid it (readers determine interest, not the poster).  I think that "pointless" covers it well and is much more objective within the context of a group and easily covers "intentionally uninteresting. It is so nice and helpful that bitcoin is so amazing and so awesome.

The policy to not remove anything worked when the forum was small. Now that we have thousands of posts a day, we can't afford 50% of them being junk. The moderators are now instructed to be less tolerant of low-value posts.

Some guidelines:

1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content

What's NSFW content?

I had a comment like
This is a great project and I'll love to benefit from it. Why should that be deleted

See rule 1 in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0.

[Cryptelo]

This is very vague. ''Calm and polite'' need to be more defined.

i dont see offending content  anyway  maybe the  MoD should Order ZORRO costume for Xmass or grow up ....

I really don't think it was anything to do with your opinion. If you had expanded on your thought and explained why you think that, then it would not have just looked like a random comment posted by a spambot. As it was, it falls under forum rule No. 1, no low-value posts. Try and add some value to the forum and your posts will not get deleted.

In school, almost every question that requires critical thinking and proof of knowledge of the topic requires an explanation.

I'll give you an example of where your post/reply would be graded as a "failure" by the average teacher in the world:

"Doe an ICO project require effort spent in public relations?  Why or why not?"

Your statement doesn't give any reason or substance with respect to your point of view.  So, based on the spirit of raising standards here on this forum, you do need to write complete thoughts to explain what is obvious to possibly only you....to those that are not mind readers which is pretty much everyone as far as anyone knows.

does this depend on the context of Wink? is it possible we can get high value posts
