lots of recycled threads

[gambitcoin53]

i have noticed that our forum is flooded with threads that are created by newbies that post recycled topics, meaning, the topics are already posted and this clearly shows that newbies are not reading, my advise to all newbies, you must read first, learn to back read and study the threads here, do not just post. in doing so, this will prevent you from being locked out, posting a new topic doesn't make you merit-worth or rank up.

to some ranked members, we can help newbies by giving them advise to post quality topics worth of time and informative as possible, we should only reply on topics that has not yet been discussed so we can discourage flooding of nonsense threads.

if you can post some tips here for the newbies who wishes to rank up but deserving to be merited please do so. let us help each other.

some of my advise would be:

1. look for the date of which that topic was created, if it has already hundreds of replies please choose another updated topics to reply at

2. never reply to nonsense inquiry or poll that is illogical

3. learn to write in proper english grammar or at least can be understood by many

4. reply directly to the point, it doesn't matter if it is just a one-liner reply, as long as it is direct to the point, and not full of so many not so important words, a long paragraphed reply is not the basis of having a merit or just to make it look good to your campaign/ bounty managers.

I noticed that too and it is really dragging the quality of the forum downwards. I think that your post should be addressed to/by moderators too and pinned at the top.

And I also address the moderators to start giving replies in such forums by stating that the question has been asked and answered to already with the link to the original thread and start putting recycled topics in the recycle bin. The repeated misdemeanor should be punished with a temporary ban. That is what I saw on other forums and I think it would make up for a much more efficient system then using Merits to improve the quality of the topics.

that would be a lot of work for the mod, simply delete the thread if found guilty of redundancy. but i hope your suggestuon will be taken into considerations. as for the newbies, we cannot blame them though because they are misled by their impulses to create a topic. what they need is guidance and reminders. thanks mate

No problem. I know it is a lot of work but I noticed it working on other forums. Usually, after a very short period of time, users learn to discipline.

I hope there's a lot of newbies here in forum can read your advice. It can greatly help not only to the beginners as well as to everyone. Were here in forum not just to earn but also we need to learn a lot. How we can gain more knowledge if the topics recycled?

I ynderstand your point and it actually has me bugged too with how many redundant posts I’ve been seeing. However can we really blame them? I’m talking about the newbies here because I think what if that was really their wuestion and they want to have a personalized thread soThat they can ask their opinions and reply directly to those who would be responding to their topic. I think we have to give them some slack nut for those who are long here and are just recycling then that’s a different matter

It's okay We are here to share ideas to others. People are getting crowded in this forum and some of them needs information so i don't blame them either. what we wanted is to help others. Just keep supporting and spread positive vibes. Soon we will rise and our family will be rich as we are in Crypto world.

IMO, recycling will also help them gain some knowledge, as you can see with the help of the older threads they're having an idea what to do. But in our case, here on our forum it is highly prohibited, and still they're breaking the rules just to gain some activities ,which is wrong. They maybe having a hard time making some prestigious posts and it may also be the reason why they're doing such things.

For us with a higher rank, we cant just ignore this, they must be guided. But as you can see its not just the newbies whose been doing some recycled and repeatable threads some of them are on the higher ranks. I really dont know why they've been doing this as for them with such rankings higher than a Member. (Visit the Meta Section and you'll see some posts repeated also by the higher ranks)

My advise: If you see something like it should have not been posted, REPORT IT TO THE MODERATOR, even if it takes some time to be removed.

[anjaydut]

yes you are right, I see there are many same questions and, in reply repeatedly.
if i still have the rest of smerit, i will give it to you.
it looks like you are very concerned about this forum. and it was very nice.
This forum needs someone like you, to reduce the number of shitposter!

[LeGaulois]

Dude, it's like this for a long time now, it's not something new. They perfectly know that the topic they are going to post has already been posted multiple times and they don't care. A lot of these topics are created to make their alt account able to reply with generic reply re-ashed comments, senseless ideas and so on...

And since we are on it, I would like #5

Post in the correct section....

And you should consider this point because your topic has nothing to do in the bitcoin discussion section

[olubams]

Your suggestions are something that is being known already but people choose to ignore it and blaming the newbies will not be right because what you don't know, you don't know. While I was a newbie, I had created one thread after I read several they I didn't undertsnad but now, I know better that going though google and putting bitcoin talk at the end of the request will get me what I need. While its permissible for newbies, its should be frown at by higher rank members.

[mrtryonebiggums]

Wasn't the merit system supposed to fix all the problems we are having? I would love to see some stats to see if it has slowed down the spamming or if the spamming has gone in another direction...don't just see why we can't close certain useless threads after X amount of time?

[jundy020]

Also noticed that and it makes the quality of this forum really low, I really wish that merit system will have a great impact on this problem because it just make people wanting to read threads not doing it because it just recently discussed at the other threads

thanks for the tip, i have created this topic here in bitcoin discussion not for the newbies only, as what others have observed, there are high ranking members who also recycle topics, and the fact that beginners didnt spend their time reading in beginners section, they are already here in bitcoin discussion and posting such topics without even bothering to read the thread intended for them before they post. besides, who would wanted to back read from thousands of threads just to check if his prospected topic has already been discussed. as what you have said, they don't care. that is why i created this topic.

so i am requesting your permission to retain this thread for everyone else' sake. not only for the newbies but for all of us. if you think it is still not considerable, i will gladly move this topic to beginners and help.

just a thought,

 if we are in a race, and a runner is in the middle of the race half way to the finish line, would he go back to the starting line to check if he is in the correct lane?  no, wouldn't it be helpful to the runner to see halfway to the finish line a guy with a banner saying, hey dude, you are on the wrong lane, move it! you helped the runner to finish his race by guiding him and not being disqualified and almost wasted his good start.

that's right, the first time i explored bitcointalk.org was about a half year ago, and I heard lots of threads are being deleted but as  I explore now, topics are the same as the last time I visited.

[MyLitecoin]

I don't understand what you mean by don't reply to a thread with hundreds of replies?

First you advise newbs not to make new threads about re-hashed topics.... Then you tell us not to reply to an existing thread with hundreds of replies... so which is it?

say I wanted to talk about why Bitcoin doesn't offer enough replay protection. So I'm itching to start a new thread on that, but I want to be responsible, so I use the search function first to see if it exists... And it turns out that it exists.

But the thread that exists has 100s of replies... does that mean I can't post my opinoin now on either a new thread or the old thread?

So what do I do? I don't understand.

Do newbs get banned just for doing this? Seems unfair?

[gabbie2010]

My own suggestion is that the new topics creation should be automated by the thread moderator, any new topic that is similar to already created or existing ones should be deleted immediately to avoid duplications of existing ones, and all  newbies should learn how to avoid creating an existing thread by using the forum search engines.

Most of the time, I saw that some long time ago postings were pinned to the first page. I didn't dare to reply to this post because I was afraid to be locked. Most of the posts were not quality posts. Some newcomers came in. They didn't know what to do. , so post some very logical and inconsistent topics, I hope they can come to see.

Your technique is the same as theirs. What you are complaining about is a recycled complaint as well. We are all guilty of social engineering. Anyways. Even the most seasoned veterans here at bitcointalk are guilty of grammar ignorance. And most of them are polyglots and they are more superior to your pride of english only knowledge or google translate dependence.

i have noticed that our forum is flooded with threads that are created by newbies that [Mostly] post recycled topics,

This is where the mods and forum staff come in and so many threads and posts get deleted. The mods have been doing that lately. Though sadly we can say this has really overwhelmed them and it now looks like they sleep on their jobs. Most times, even the questions asked already have been answered but the lazy noobs won't want to make their research upon entering the forums. Most people don't bother to read. Even read information before their noses.
