Forum moderation policy

[yzhi]

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

 
It looks like a very good policy,but depends on context Wink.
Perhaps we can get a good post or bad post mod up and maybe to do the good job.
I support it.

so I suggest that topic master cannot use moderation policy if this topic is a IPO thread.

What about defamation/slander of someones character?  Or do we just send them some Trollcoin?

If it's off-topic it may be deleted (depending on the on/off-topicness of the rest of the post), if it's clear they are lying it may be considered trolling, and trolls can get banned, although it's not easy to get banned for trolling.

Did scam-exposer get banned ?

Why is carsen/HASHx11 allowed to get away with repeatedly threatening others, including myself ?

Oh good grief.

I petition to ban the hashcoin/matrixcoin hack for making physical threats.  So now what? 




And you think I should be banned? 

Why do you want to waste the mods time with your silly nonsense?

You are attempting to disrupt the livelihood of a lot of people for your own personal gain.

What did you think was going to happen?

F U for trying to justify the maggot's cowardly threats made against us.

You should be directing that statement to the shitcoin cloners and their shills. It is up to them to earn our trust. Not vice-versa.

Did you really create this account just for me ? (blushes) I've never had my own groupie before !

Seem like good rules that are easy to follow.

I've been slandered/falsely accused several times on this forum, I don't think the admins give a sh!t.

To be fair though, they can't investigate every instance of slander/defamation .. people need to think for themselves, defend themselves, and be smart.

I don`t think there is loads of crap in the forum.
Good job Sirius

Strange policy here:

I posted a topic about a service that is yet to be determined whether it's a scam or and I tried to give my impressions on it. My topic was ported to trash. Well, maybe I did something wrong but:

A very similar thread about the same web site is still there and nobody seems to care.

Well, I guess people measure with different sticks here - that stinks. And kills the opportunity for giving information to others.

No. You decided to "voice your opinion" in a new Thread with your referallink instead of discussing and sharing your thoughts about the exact same service in an already existing active thread that was opened just a few days ago. You already admitted to seeing it. I can clearly see an deleted post of you in the Trashcan , where you tried to do the exact same thing with your pbmining referal.

You kill the opportunity to see quality posts for other people with promoting your referallinks for your own profit. Stop being a dickhead.

[buy4crypto]

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

I would also like this implemented.

I think this would be a good idea. Sometimes an edit can happen right away, or days later. It can make a big difference in relevance.

[Cryptopher]

Are these guidelines used by the moderators when removing posts, should the community therefore report posts that infringe these guidelines?

I've seen a few NSFW threads out there, some of which are tagged as NSFW - is that acceptable etiquette? Perhaps these guidelines need updating. I like the idea of having a centralised and definitive guide to forum moderation for all to see and refer to.

Good policy, That make sure the post is meaningful and useful

[ParacelStorm]

I'm not sure that i got you right guys but i'm voting for no rules except the government laws on forum.

[bernard75]

The rules are from 2011 and i havent seen a topic or post deleted since.
Unfortunately the more content, the more revenue, irrelevant of he content.

Hi

What is your approach to 'spam marketing'? I have asked a few users via PM to comment on my project on the thread and now I am receiving complaints of spam marketing there. It is not a big deal however I just wonder if I could be moderating my own thread?
