Activity & new membergroup limits

[wtfvanity]

What happens when you visit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=post;board=24.0 ?

Dude, that worked.  Where or how?  From what I read on here there should be a new topic button on any thread you are on.  And there isn't.  

Thanks so much!

Did you really waste all that time spamming to 500 posts cause you thought you had to in order to be able to make a new topic?

Yeah.  But I only spammed 30 posts and it was a dead thread.  This isn't spam as other newbies may have the same question.

But now i have 2 new threads of my own.  I feel so grown up.  Lol, seriously, progress feels great.

Holy shit you have almost 600 posts in less than two months? Thank goodness for activity or you'd be a hero member.

i think im well over 500 lol not sure how long i have been a member ( only a month or 2 ) i think i have been on the forum a total of 14days lol

I've seen guys post 2,000 posts in a single month.

If you look at my post history most of my posts are long and detailed, the opposite of what spammer do or someone thing to troll for higher post counts.

I actually got called out for too long of posts so I had to cut down.  I never did it for the count - if that was my intent I would have written 1 sentence posts, which I rarely ever did.  And if someone adds value and is active I don't see why they can't be a hero member in 2 months as opposed to 1 year.  As long as its quality posts.

This new rule about not being able to miss even a single day (for a full year) is ridiculous.  Once a new viable alt currency forum pops up (probably next year) a lot of people will abandon this forum for silly rules like that.  

I mean, you can buy your title, that's ok, but you can't earn it if you're a quality contributor or if you have a life or life problems and can't post here every single day without ever missing 1 day for an entire year.  That's Stalinist.

Where did you see that rule?  My understanding is that you only need one post every 14 days to get 14 activity points as long as you average more than one post per day.

I think you mean 14 posts in 14 days equals 14 activity points, which is the maximum one can earn in a two week period.

most of my posts are running giveaways  the amount of times I post a day is dropping because  I started my forum  if your interested look in my sig

I saw it posted numerous times.  It's 2, 28 week periods where you post at least 1 post per day each day.  That's basically 1 year without missing a single day.  That's absurd.  They're rewarding repetition and trolling not quality.

If you have 1000 posts and you registered in the last two weeks, you'll have an activity of 14. Then, you can post once every 14 days, and as long as your activity is less than your post count, your activity will increase by the full 14 every 14 days.

No I mean exactly what I said.

"as long as you average one post per day"

"you only need one post every 14 days to get 14 activity points"

Then you saw incorrectly and you need to stop taking advice from newbies.

These weren't newbies but I don't remember if they were hero level either.

Thanks for the clarification.  That's great news.

He's probably confusing it with the stack overflow badge for posting once a day for a year.

Ok,  what badge is that? I've never seen such a badge in here before.

[cp1]

I'm not sure, I thought there was one for a year, but all I could find was shorter durations.

Before you get confused and start spamming again...he's talking about a different website.

Lol.  Fair enough.  But I wasn't trying to spam for a badge.  Just for a privilege (starting a new topic) I had already previously earned.

You are spamming VERY hard since day 1. Your first 30 posts about MHashes vs. KHashes are so depressing I was about to kill myself when I visited your post history. So many posts about a matter you didn't understand and about you could have learnt using google + the search button of this forum.

Friendly advice: write MUCH less and read MUCH more. The fact it took you +30 posts to reach the 4 h logged required to be able to post outside the newbie area is very telling. In half of your lengthy posts you make points which are simply wrong, because they are about matters you obviously don't know well. The other half are about SantaCoin, SoccerCoin or CatholicCoin (I won't even comment on those).

Use Google man. Use the search. Try to post a max. number of posts per day, otherwise your ignore button will be glowing soon.

You can start new topics without being a hero member.

That's a good idea though. If only hero members could start topics then there wouldn't be so many useless "why are there only 21m Bitcoin" topics.

I vote to change the rule to only hero members can start new topics. At the very least theymos could change it so you can't start a new topic unless you have clicked into every page of every sticky on the forum.

I vote for a rule that takes off points for every necro bump. The older, the more points disappear.
Over 30 day bump, -1. Over 120 day bump = -2, over 365 day bump = -3, etc


Then we take off a point for every post above a threshold considered excessive spamming:
48 posts in previous 24 hours
24 posts in previous 6 hours
12 posts in previous 1 hour


Applied retroactively.

6 posts in two minutes = banhammer. The obvious post whores who don't read anything.
