LoyceV, what's wrong with you man..
Is everything alright?
Any issues going around with Friends, someone closer or anyone?
Don't mind me asking this, but i am really worried about you now..
You look so much frustrated over here..
Dragging a Suggestion to this Extent, i mean seriously?
I say it again, you should have read my NOTE in my first post, you wouldn't have said this all..
I highly doubt theymos would impose more restrictions on real users. Many new users go to this forum to ask for help with something related to Bitcoin (be it wallets, transactions or lost keys). Those users should not be forced to wait 30 days before they can create a new topic.
Why can't they wait for 30 days period, is that too high? I don't think so.
This is where we define the term "Hit & Run users".
So are you one of the supporters of "Hit & Run users".
I mean, are you really supporting such users, who will just use the forum for their very own Benefit / Needs or just when they need something (some help) from us and then leave the forum?
You make it sound as if that's a bad thing. It's not, those are real users who use the forum as it's intended, even though it's only once. Those users are not part of the spam problem, and shouldn't be restricted.
I've made accounts on several (specialized) forums in the past. Some I still use, some I registered only to solve a specific problem, and I even once registered somewhere just to thank someone for the large amount of information he posted.
If I would have to wait 30 days before I can ask a question, I wouldn't have used any of those forums. But like I said, those users aren't the problem, and some of them come back again after a while.
Hit & Run users is not a bad thing, but it's something that's not correct..
If you don't feel it that way it's simply because you seem to be one of those who have atleast 5-6 alternate accounts over there, well who knows the truth.. it may be possible?
1 Legendary Account and other Jr. Member or some rank accounts?
Anyways, that's nothing i should be concerned about, nor i want to make any allegations over here based upon assumptions, i can't..
That's personal to you.. so just cut it..
Now coming back to the point, you should better understand the meaning of the term forum, before you even comment on it..
One of the online defination of Forum says that, a Forum is a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged..
Focus on the word EXCHANGED, it's not otherwise like a 24/7 "Answer your Queries - Service Provider"
However according to you, it seems like a Forum is a place where we can get our account registered only when we have a problem, then vanish..
Come back again when we have another problem and then go away..
Wow!!
Next, How can you be so sure that those users are not part of the Spam Problem, are you one of them? lol
Don't judge or comment something based on the grounds of assumptions..
Just because you are a Legendary Members here, some Members may indeed support you, you may also get some Merits or so responses, however i don't really care about it, as long as i know what i'm saying is the truth and a fact you can't deny, although you do it publicly over here..
Whatever you say here, is just your Point of View, it doesn't mean that's always correct..
I believe that the user should be here forever like a Friend or a Family to interact here
Lol. This is Bitcointalk, and it stands for personal freedom. It's not a contract with the devil which captures your soul for eternity.
If I want to leave this forum today, nobody is going to stop me.
Off-course i didn't said BitcoinTalk is a Jail or something, you better read my complete post and then comment, instead of just taking out a Snippet from it and acting smart..
If you got some personal problem with me, then you better say that clearly, no need to post a comment for every Comma or Dot that i make, when you don't understand the meaning behind that post..
If you lost your senses, i think..
Even worse: what you suggest only hurts real users, while it doesn't matter for spammers at all! A spammer can easily create thousands of accounts, wait 30 days, and start spamming. In fact, many of the new spambots I've seen use older accounts already.
I can't find anything on that suggestion that could hurt any real users, real users shouldn't have a problem with it.
I imagine myself being the one with a certain problem. I search the internet, and find a community with many experts. I join, and want to ask my question so that I can solve the problem at hand and continue with my project.
If that's not possible within 30 days, this forum dies.
Are you a God or something?
You mean to say, you will search for a problem and reach this Forum?
What exactly would you search that diverts you to this forum directly via. Google ?
Let's assume somehow you managed to reached this forum with your query..
You also joined the community and found on Day-1 itself that there are experts out there ?
You would take sometime go understand the forum, go through the various sections and then conclude this statement..
Also, if that's a common Problem / Issue that you searched for, the answer for that would already exist over here..
You just need to know, how to use the "Search Box"
If it doesn't exist, then you should have patience of sometime..
Don't take any forum as a Tech Expert service provider to give you instant solutions on Day 1 itself, if that would have exist then there was no need of people paying anything to anyone..
Freelancers wouldn't exist.. Premium support wouldn't exist..
A forum never dies that way dude, how many people do register and start a Topic to ask something related to a Project Work? I mean really?
Do not compare a Forum with something else..
Dear user, this is not a Livechat or a Ticketing System to answer your queries when you post them..
You help others, others will help you..
It's indeed a give and take policy..
Although the people who help others are not expecting anything in return, they do it for free with 0 Expectations.. as they love what they do, but then they atleast expect that you also help someone else with the knowledge you have, when the appropiate times arrives..
Forum is not a platform to get yourself registered when you need some help and then runaway..
Just feed that little thing on your mind, it will clear your concept about the forum..
If you don't have patience and want yourself to get served immediately on the forum, then you should better hire a developer, freelancer or a get premium support from some other websites, a forum is not the place to serve you everything only when you need them as per your protocols..
PS
Your
first post was a new topic including links
With your suggestions, that wouldn't have been possible.
My suggestion says, 30 Days wait period and 28 Activity. It never says the Newly Registered users cannot start a post ever in their lifetime. I would have indeed waited for 30 Days and made 2 post per day or so to gain the Activity, come-on.
That would mean the average user spams 28 posts before he gets to ask what he wanted to ask in the first place.
That's the way a person who didn't read my Suggestion Post clearly would think.
The user would be restricted to post only 2 Post per day, so 2 post per day is too much Spam, really?
On the other hand, you won't even mind helping out the Staff to help them to fight against such Spam Post, right?
But i indeed do it always, since the time i joined here, so why can't you?
It doesn't take much time..
Whenever i report about a post, the Moderators took the action immediately, i have seen that myself..
I have reported more than 100 Post till date, they indeed handled it properly and have taken proper care of the same.
When we have active Staff on the Forum, where do you see the problem?
So if you (anyone user who saw the Spam Post first) found out that someone is spamming post, the user needs to use the
Report to Moderator option and they will do the rest.
This way the Spammer User would never reach the target of 28 Activity, unless he makes Non-Spam post.
Every user in this forum is active at some of the Sections of this forum, if everyone does their part of contribution, then the forum would be spam free soon..
Off-course, this is not your cup of tea, as if you report about a post that won't give you the Showoff Performance or any kind of Publicity, which you usually expect from every post of yours in this forum..
So better not talk about it, when you can't be of any help to the forum to fight against Spammers.
You can see that i travelled all the way from the Member Rank of Brand New to Jr. Member to Member with 34 Merits within a time-frame of 4 Months.
I saw that indeed. But I wouldn't consider
this post to be worth 30 Merits. For reference, I've never received more than 11 Merits at once, in a total of 569 transactions.
I can feel a smell of jealously over here. Just because you couldn't get more than 11 Merits for your post, you got pissed off with me. So this was the primary reason for you getting mad over me until now? Lol
Should have said this before itself.
What would you do with all these Merits? Convert it to Bitcoin or so?
Why do people like you run after Merits, just contribute on the forum and expect nothing in return, that's the simple rule.
The post where i received 30 Merit was found as worth for it at-least by 1 Member, so i don't care what you think about the Post. That post is something that i do for the Poor People over here to help them out, so this won't make any sense to a person like you, who got no feelings for others, nor any understandings in real life.
I am contributing a good amount of money to help the poor from my earnings every month, hence i don't need to prove anything to you on have a debate upon this, whether that post is worth 30 Merit or not.
But the Legendary Member that gave me 30 Merits, i respect him so much, at-least he is the one who read that post completely and gave a Merit.
Even-though i never expected a single Merit from anyone, as i thought that post would never be noticed by anyone Senior, but that was quite a surprise to me..
Keeping all that aside, i have seen users receiving 40 Merits as well, may-be even more than that, however i just saw 40 once in a post.
There are also people who received Merit for a post that doesn't even deserve one, a post that got nothing special in it, looks like a Merit was simply given to upgrade the User or so..
So did you ever bothered to comment over there?
Why would you, when you have a specific target, right?
When you didn't do your homework well, do not comment. Better to stay out of it..
Thank you everyone for reading this. Have a great day ahead.
A few comments to (IMO) improve your forum participation:
1. There's no need to send me a PM after receiving Merit. I merited your post, that's it.
2. You type very long stories, which makes it slow to read.
3. You're overdoing
bold font.
Do with this advice what you want
1. There's no need to send me a PM after receiving Merit. I merited your post, that's it.This clearly looks like a showoff performance.
I really hate such showoff people.
Thanking someone is not a criminal offence, nor does it violates the policy or protocols of any forum..
The way your saying it here seems like i abused your on PM or so ?
You gave me a Merit on my Post, i just gave a Thank You message in return, end of the story..
Grow up dude.. stop acting like a kid now, your a Legendary Member, don't behave like a Newbie for god's sake..
The least we can expect from you is to behave like a mature.
Damm, i just can't believe it, you said it here.
I mean a Private Message is indeed a Private Message, and your replying back to a PM in a post instead.
You didn't had he guts to respond back to PM and respond back if you had a problem with my Thanking Message ?
Do you the reason why you did this?
Just because you wanted to perform this little showoff stunt..
So did that bring some smile on your face?
Are you actually smiling now? Rofl..
Well, enough of the smiling then, just for your very kind information, i am a person who Thanks everyone who does anything for me, doesn't matter how small or how big that is..
So don't consider yourself as something special or a VIP to whom i have specifically selected & thanked..
Your not the only person i've Thanked in this forum or anywhere else..
I have thanked every person who has appreciated me or my work with a Merit, a Response or anything.. doesn't matter how small or how big it is..
I am really sorry, i can't act so rude like you do with others..
So stop acting like a kid and keep your negative attitude & ego towards yourself. This is not the right place to reveal it..
You know what the funny part is, that makes me feel that you indeed have some problem with your?
You gave me a Merit in my Post..
Then, i sent you a "Thank you message in PM"
That literally pissed you off and you realised that i need to do something special about this guy as he looks like an interesting member.. so this is the right time to make some post and get some Merits or so.. lol..
Finally, you start to post baseless messages..
2. You type very long stories, which makes it slow to read.If that looks like a story to you, it's high time you realise that your not fit for any forum..
Because that's defined as a detailed explanation to people like you, who don't understand anything, regardless of whether we break our heads to the walls and start to bleed..
3. You're overdoing bold font.Overdoing? What a crap?
That's what it's called to present a text in a neat and tidy manner, so that the person reading the post can know the highlighted parts of it.
Although, a person like you won't even understand stand.
Just look at yourself, for no reason your digging out small small things from the post, when there is nothing more for you to say..
Really funny..
Do with this advice what you wantDon't you dare even think to give me any Suggestions or Advice because an immature person can't ever give an advice to me or anyone..
Your just a person full of ego and negative attitude, you might be having a fight with someone everyday and you just visit this forum to take out your frustration over others via. Post.
Really sad..
You better improve your Nature and Behaviour with others, else it would be a tough time for you in the future. If you behave in this way on forum, i wonder how you would be in real life as well.
The issues with some high rank people like you are, you think that all low rank members are your servants or so and they work under you..
You just try to put them down, whenever or wherever you want, whether it's a post or a topic..
However there are many good members under that Legendary Rank, hence it won't matter to me much if there are few annoyed people like you in this forum, whose life is dedicated for nothing more than doing these kind of activities..
I know how to treat people like you, so instead of giving me some advice, you better grow-up once in your life and look-back and see, What you really are & what kind of nature you really possess.
Although i don't give a damm about post, i said this much just to conclude my talk with you, so that others know about your behaviour and your maturity level..
I don't have any advice or anything for you, but just 1 statement, try to stay away from my Topics/Post henceforth..
I know you can't because people like you got no other work than to hunt the post of Low Rank Members and start to post all stupid comments over there for publicity, still if possible try to keep a safer distance from my Topic/Post.
I am registered in so many forums, including forums having different Interests/Areas like IT, Education, Social Cause etc..
I even hold an Admin / Moderator Ranks in some of them where i'm active daily, moreover i even gained a lot of achievements till date..
I know this is not the right place to Disclose/Show my Biodata, i said this because this is the first time someone is even trying to Raise/Point their hands over me in a disrespectul way.. that too without even thinking about anything..
You can't even understand a Post, you don't even read a post in full, simply read some contents of the post from here & there and start to act too smart..
What your saying doesn't fit the conversation from where these posts have started..
Your just diverting this to something different and taking this too much personally now, seems like you got so many issues with me personally..
Either with the 30 Merit that i have received or may-be something else.. or it could be that you do this with everyone around..
You better come out of the little pond in which your swimming alone where you consider your as the 1st Rank Holder and then only speak..
You will realise the bitter truth about yourself..
In-fact, look at the mirror once and ask yourself, do you even have humanity left within you anymore? You will indeed get the answer..
To be very honest, if i had an option under my profile named Kids or Immature Users then i would have indeed Added / Tagged you as a top priority on the list..
Apart from that, if there was a way to Delete the Merit added by you on my post, i would have done that immediately, without even a second thought..
You know what, my BitcoinTalk friend texted me on Skype after reading all these trailing post & informed me that "This is why i stay away from such talks, there are certain hand-picked High Rank Member would indeed show-up from nowhere and start to post something irrevelant and then you keep going-on with the conversation and waste your time altogether. So better to stick with the forum on the Sections where your actually interested in. Don't do too much of Helping or Suggestion works on the forum, else you will loose your time as it won't be appreciated by some High Rank Member."
Actually, hats off to you my dear Skype Friend, i should have actually listened to you, my bad..
Enough of this, i have already wasted so much time with you, it's not possible to make you understand anything, when your mind is set with full of ego..
You can never admit the truth..
Hence, do not drag this conversation any further by adding more responses again & again, this will end nowhere, trust me..
I really got no time for all this anymore, nor can i type things in detailed manner again & again to make you understand the truth..
Seriously speaking, do not kill this Topic with such post anymore, that's all i have to say now..
I posted a Suggestion, you don't like it, ignore it, that's all..
Freedom of speech is indeed applicable, as that's what a forum is all about, but your just here to create a cat fight, which will end nowhere..
The road will end but the discussions won't..
So with this, i am wrapping up this conversation once and for all..
Lastly, wish you a good luck on the forum, may God help you get well soon.. I would actually pray..
NOTE:I know that my Post is way too much lengthy for anyone to read it, i do apologise for that, however there wasn't anyway i could shorten it, as i wanted to give the user LoyceV a detailed response for his behaviour.
Thank you for the understanding, God bless you all..
