Forum moderation policy

[BFLrCONmen]

How about a policy to ban sociopathic liars and people who try to provide themselves with positive trust rating by running potentially ILLEGAL slandering campaigns just as josh (inaba) is doing to this site WITTHOUT the full permission of theymos who seriously has the biggest case of cognitive dissidence I've ever seen!

Oh no, there fine! Can't ban them but anyone who points out that there scummy sociopathic liars gets banned as they pay (Jan 2014 and before at least) this site a good amount of them stolen btcs!

How about some fucking banning hammers on these dirty filthy cockroaches! I mean just look at this shit and tell me what sane person would actually organise something like this!

Seriously! If admins gave a fuck he would have been banned over 12 months ago but he was paying good money to keep his sheep rearing campaign going! 1 sick mother fucker and who employees such a cockroach dirtbag!

Seriously people, stop being chumps you sheeple!

+1 is a place holder so I can go back edit the post and have it higher up in the thread can I not do this any more?

5. No NSFW content

I think this may ultimately give posters too much uncertainty about whether what they are writing down or linking to is OK or not,   and it may discourage conversations we'd otherwise see which would be no fun;  NSFW is a very broad brushstroke.

I see occasional threads popping up with "NSFW" in the conversation title.
Not that the conversation itself is,  but the link may be.

Perhaps the rule should be extended to say no NSFW content outside of tasteful (non-obscene) content in a thread with (NSFW) in the title.
(Although that would not fully address.)


What some people view as NSFW varies, also;  in some workplaces just porn / pictures a coworker might happen to see are the line between personal use of employer resource's  and unacceptable usage (NSFW)....

Other workplaces are particularly strict, AND mere loading of a page with sexist or dirty jokes,  sexually suggestive chatter- just plain text,  Bitcoin itself,  or any sort of unprofessional subject matter  may be unsafe topics.

It seems to me that the deleting of posts is increasing and I don't understand the reasons. I guess "uninteresting" is a matter of perspective...

[R.g.rauschenbach]

For some reason my posts are being deleted, but I'm not sure why. I've messaged moderators asking for help with the issue but I haven't gotten a response.

That's fine, just mention the links are NSFW. It's hotlinked images that are the problem.

Think the rule needs to be edited to clarify that in OP post
Of course thats from 2011 so needs a bit of a general update

As long as it's not goatse, Alex Beckenham has a major point.

Also, some of the 'useless' threads are actually quite entertaining, if not educational (e.g. the Rawdawg and Bitcoin snail graph/meme ones).

I agree with the referral code one, though even that was interesting to see, some people are quite creative Smiley

No, you can't.

Posting "interested" in three different threads is not adding anything to the discussion like you did as seen in your post history.
If the deleted posts were in this ball park , well go figure out yourself.

Although it is awesome to see new coins come out and have a flood of one word interest.  For example cryptocasino the first proof of risk concept, had pages of one word support (share requests) and entire thread was deleted and his account was banned.
   This could be damaging to new coins as im not certain the rules of the forum are clearly defined and might hinder free response of excitement.
    In, saying that though im pretty sure this is an anti-troll/liability control measure in the cases of moving markets and/or controlling public trading on forum.
   Maybe better definition instead of users being afraid to respond?

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

I will abide by the rules of the reply.

That was the rule.

This forum has now become part of the problem that Bitcoin will solve, irony at it's best

How's that?

[Hippie Tech]

What is the forum's policy when it comes to members who threaten others with violence ?

[BadBear]

Direct threats of violence aren't allowed.

[Hippie Tech]

That is what I thought.

I reported this post and was very surprised to see that it was dismissed.

thx BadBear.

[tysat]

what about a "last edited %CLOCK%" function for edited posts?

There's a 5 minute window after first posting where you can edit and that isn't shown... otherwise edits times are noted.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0

When you mouse over the post time it tells you the time of the last edit
