Croatian local - new child board request - moderator request

[iluvbitcoins]

Or just get rid of that alt coin board and then you probably don't even need a mod.

What makes you think people won't post altcoin threads because there isn't an altcoin board?

The subforum would just get drowned in unrelated threads without any organization.
We'd report the topics to the moderators which mostly wouldn't understand what's been said in the threads since they don't understand the language.
And the owners would get their threads deleted for posts that ARE crypto related, just not BTC related.

If you look at the Croatian section right now, you'll see this

http://prntscr.com/j4qxu0

All the topics I've outlined are not related to Bitcoin.
And if they're moved in the Altcoin section, they'd just get drowned among all the ANN threads.

The Croatian section is relatively active, perhaps not as much as some of the others but we're active and growing.
And there certainly is interest in altcoins and in BTC, however, some are only interested in 1 of those and the threads we'd be willing to read get lost among all other threads.

Organization is the only thing we're asking.
We don't preferr scrolling through a hundred ANN threads to find the 1 altcoin thread we were looking for.
Nor we preferr having the main subforum area filled with altcoin threads.

It's not a hard thing to do, to add an ANN section but it'd make a lot of people lives a lot easier.

They will. But they get warned and banned if they persist as it's against the rules to post alt coin threads in boards that don't have an alt coin section.

I'm sure people would love to talk about Sports but we don't need a sports section in there as well. Whether there's another section or not you'll still have to just scroll through the dozens of threads that are just getting posted by the op and nobody else purely for the bounty translation.

Please read through this.
Especially the first screenshot.

Summary of a post I made earlier.

http://prntscr.com/j5pxb9

Yellow- Altcoin related
Blue - Bitcoin&Altcoin related
Brown - Bitcoin related
No color- forum related

And these aren't shitposts.
These are decent threads, check for example 2 of the outlined ^
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3196935.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3052292.0

If we visit the Altcoin section, we'll see that there's only one thread that's not an ANN
http://prntscr.com/j5pzlw

There's altcoin threads in the main subforum everywhere, there's hundreds of ANN threads in the altcoin section and reporting posts is basically useless since other moderators don't speak Croatian.

Our desires have been manifested here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3212995.0

Aparat from an ANN thread, a thing we would really use is - a moderator.

In another thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3221724.0) we've discussed who'd be willing to perform this function and 2 users applied + korni74 who states he'd only be willing to be a 2nd moderator. After that I announced I'd be willing to perform the function too if it was bestowed upon me.

We performed a poll to see who the community supports, as the French community did previously.

They will. But they get warned and banned if they persist as it's against the rules to post alt coin threads in boards that don't have an alt coin section.

Is it allowed to post altcoin threads in local board which has altcoin section?
Conclusion:
-As reported altcoin threads haven't been moved to altcoin section, it is allowed to post altcoin threads in local board and there is no need for new child board.
-As only posts in altcoin section are ICO announcement translations which no one reads, there is no need for altcoin section.
-Altcoin section should be trashed and every altcoin thread in local board should be trashed as well, but as long as altcoin section exists, altcoin threads are allowed in local board
-moderator is not needed in Croatian local because moderator will waste his time moderating Croatian local

On side note, I am selling contradictions, send me PM for price.

In the following image, you can see all the Bitcoin related threads in the subforum in yellow.
All the others are mostly altcoin related.

[ovcijisir]

In last few days all altcoin related threads that were on main part of the forum were placed in Altcoin section.

Now altcoin threads are mixed with ANN threads and it is almost impossible to find altcoin related thread that you want to read.

Admins please visit our local forum to see for yourselves.

Good, it was impossible to find any bitcoin related topic in main board.
You can bookmark them, you can use search button and you can spend literally 1 minute to find thread you followed.

Or better - as you indirectly said that you don't want to read announcement threads, put these guys on ignore and you will easily find altcoin threads which you like to read because altcoin section will look like this:

Let's face it, there are many new altcoins and ICOs out there that have uninteresting and/or worthless ideas and only want to suck money out of the market. However, this in itself is not reason enough to completely remove the local Altcoins child board.

In my opinion, the best solution is a separate child board for announcements just as the main 'Alternate cryptocurrencies' section is divided into 'Altcoin Discussion' and 'Announcements'.

[Daniel91]

I also think that we need moderator fort our croatian forum.
Someone has to make order there.
Now, it's really difficult to fund some threads, nobody controls spam etc.
We also expressed our opinion about possible moderator through pool so please consider it.
Thank you.

There are too many topics to bookmark every one of them, and also new topics sink to page No.2 very fast and it is hard to keep track of the new posts coming up.

Also adding people who translate ANN posts to ignore list isn't the best solution for me, because they also participate in forum and are part of our community too.

The best solution in my opinion is making separate ANN board, so the people who are interested in new projects have dedicated place to explore new ICO's. And in the same time altcoin discussion board can stay clean and easily readable.

[iluvbitcoins]

Indeed.

Although putting the translating users on ignore helps with the visibility in the Altcoin section, it's not the solution.
Those are good translations and those are good users (egetrorx, dkbit98,denis-z12...)
We just want a seperated ANN section from the usual Altcoins section.

A lot of us are not interested in ICOs, but are interested in altcoins.
Some are interested in ICOs though.

Both of us suffer in this sort of section division.

I would like to know if it is really so hard to make special board for ANN topics.

Our request is really simple:
1. To have ANN board
2. To move all ANN threads from Altcoin board to ANN board
3. To have our local moderator who would keep order and move threads to board where they belong

I agree with all suggestions.
Please note that we are already very long time without moderator and have a lot users in our local, Croatian forum, even from other countries like Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia.
We have a lot activities and need someone to moderate all content and take care about spam.

[cryptofrka]

Any progress here? We're getting a lot of new members recently and local forum is congested and hard to navigate even for older members.

Please update, we're not that small as a community - Croatian local is for 5-6 countries that speak the same language.

[LuLu989]

Greeting! I completely agree with the older members of this forum that the order should be inserted between the theard.
I am new here and I can say that it is quite difficult to deal with so many scattered post

[marlboroza]

Necro bump 
Thanks for creating new boards, I have little question about something. The thing is, Croatian local has "altcoin" and "altcoin announcement" board, but there is larger number of bounty topics in "altcoin" board and it looks ugly.

Should they be moved to "altcoin announcement" or left in "altcoin"?

[cryptofrka]

I'd definitely move it, it's the same thing as the ANN threads.

The idea of a dedicated altcoins board was to make it easy to navigate and start meaningful discussions and bounty threads do not serve that purpose.

I'd definitely keep the option to have them - you never know if bounty craziness will return. But they belong in the ANN part of the local.

I suggested to add on OP about who are willing to accept task in moderating if ever a certain board you ask for will be provided. It should be voluntary so that the admin will not obligate to pay moderating a small section of board. Hopefully OP, you can reach out the admin regarding with whom will volunteer to moderate without pay. Moderating will be an extra baggage in the part of who will going to moderate.

This is not how mod system works, you can't just say "I am willing to work for free, make me a mod", and you get one. I highly doubt this is a matter of payment, but whether admins think we need local mod or not, based on certain criteria like number of spam posts and possibly overall board activity. We have another topic in meta about the same subject and another one in Croatian local board so rest assured we are doing what we can.

Regarding your previous suggestion that you mentioned, iirc that post was deleted so you should see it as hint not to talk about stuff you don't know much about just in order to fill signature quota and yet again you come with the same thing.

Would you please do me a favor and fuck off from topics which I started? Spam your signature somewhere else. "Thank you very much."

Ok, but they are not announcement threads, actually, I am not sure what was the purpose of translated bounty topics in our board as most (if not all) of these bounties had that "post 10 times per week in altcoin section" requirement. Someone could have easily created topic and write something like "there is good bounty for X project, if anyone is interested here is topic in altcoin", and, we already have 2 years old topic dedicated to bounties. I don't know, but somehow bounties don't fit in neither altcoin or altcoin announcement, well, I would personally trash all bounties from that section but that is just me

I know, right?
