[Petition][POLL] Make new section for giveaways/tasks.

[matthona]

We're not talking about trolls, we're talking about people who would intentionally and repeatedly break a clearly posted rule.

once again, if these people were CLEARLY breaking the rules, and weren't banned, then THAT is the problem... just as i said, the admin team let it slide and let it slide, and now it's gotten to the point where it is.... and NOW we are supposed to believe that people will actually begin to get banned??? what is that saying about an ounce of prevention and a pound of cure??

It wasn't against the rules before now, so they weren't breaking the rules. I don't see how this is confusing.

in the other thread you posted that those people who 'ANNOY' will be banned..... so being annoying wasn't against the rules, but now it is??? maybe that's the part that's confusing, because i didn't read that anywhere outside of you post

That was a response to this post, read the context, then you decide if I'm talking about people being annoying in general, or people who are being annoying by continuing to post giveaways.

I think the "reply with your address" spam bumped threads to the top of the "Unread posts since your last visit" and honestly it annoyed me.

It looks a bit more interesting now.

Perhaps if giveaway threads required claims to be off-site or "Twitter/FB/Website" based, it would have removed a lot of the problems.

The "reply with address" is just the laziest way to do it and the path of least resistance.

A sub-forum that is excluded from the unread posts or has solid rules (like "no rewarding board actions, including reply or post your address") would make sense.

I mean, what about the "Off-Topic" board? Or rewarding altcoin activity with Satoshis? I'm sure those determined to annoy will keep doing it.

giveaway is the support for altcoin ..

You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread

That's what he said.

They can, they'll get banned for it though.

Point taken. I didn't read the "Most" in "Most giveaway threads". I was thinking it was "All"..

I had seen the "link to another page" when I read it, it just didn't sink in.

I think the rule makes sense, just think it would have made sense to give a 24 hour heads up or something. No reason to stir up a hornets nest.

Of course this is basically a den of thieves, with most of the worst of them in the Bitcoin sections - selling and trading BCT accounts , scamming on real transactions (instead of the fakey AltCoin ones)...
