Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements

[HAKHALI]

   Hello all moderators  ,
   Realy , I don’t want to give my judgment on this new decision before getting clear answers about my following questions :
   1- do you think that buying copper membership will improve the newbie’s  posts quality ?
   2- what is the main problem now , the increasing of  garbage-posting posts or the decreasing of high-level posts ?
   3- are the newbies members only responsible for upgrading forum’s posts level ? if they aren’t only ,what are your related decisions to push or force the high-order members to improve their posts quality and do you have the tools which allow you to monitor and evaluate their performance in order to make the appropriate decisions to improve their performance? as what  now happening with newbies … thank you .

I must confess I am very curious to check some of the posts of higher ranked members to see their contribution to this forum, other than manage it, lets say, in this last 2 weeks.
I started to check some of them already.
So far it seems that all of them are concerned with garbage posting.
I have been checking some of the posts of them already, to check for their quality posts and absence of garbage posts. Interesting conclusions so far.

PS - I was very impressed with the "tremendous respect" that the work of so many people with signatures, that were already Jr Member, deserved. Just a big waste of time, now time to beg to have all your work of months being take in account. But afterall you are just a newbie, even maybe a farmer of accounts, bot or whatever, so just move on if you don´t like it. You are not worth to be amoung so many amazing and superb members that are able to earn merits so easily.

Actually, if you do some research into higher ranking members and read some of their posts it is possible that you could learn some things about posting, adding value, and perhaps even how the posts of members might evolve over time.  

You could also create a thread about the topic, and contribute some value by pointing out good, bad or neutral posts.

One thing that can be complicated about looking at old posts is making sure that you attempt to understand the context in which the post is made, yet I would imagine if you were to spend a bit of time to produce some valuable insight regarding the post history of some older users, without getting caught up in petty conclusory remarks, then you would gain some credibility in this forum.    

I suspect however, that you are more talk than substance, and you really are not ready, willing and/or able to do some leg work in order to attempt to make your various points.  You would rather make your vague and quasi-nonsensical points based on supposed evidence, rather than actual evidence.

If I had any merits I would give one to you now. Respect for you Sir for not checking only for your own belly.

I never said I was willing to share it. I never said I had no idea what is for me valuable posts. I never said I am a newbie on cryptoland. Maybe in fact, I helped you in other platforms, a lot, in certain projects, during several months and for free. But you are welcome, if this was the case.

This.  I feel like by simply raising this limit to 3 your going to make it immensely more difficult on the spam for cash poster.  Hell even the worst of the worst poster can get lucky with a single post and a generous merit giver.  They may try post after post trying to get that 1 merit.  Needing 1 gives you hope.  Needing 3 gives you butt hurt.  I really hope the leadership will consider this.  

Let's give it some time and check how many newbies with 28+ activity we still have in a few weeks. I think even 1 merit is going to be a huge obstacle for the vast majority of shitposters.

How the fuck is anyone going to understand what the fuck you are talking about, unless you share some of your evidence regarding how you reached your conclusions, or at least provide some kind of a verifiable description of your evidence - otherwise you are merely making vague and unverifiable claims.

By the way, you can find all kinds of shit that support almost any thesis by researching the historical posts of members, and if you don't share your evidence, then hardly anyone will know what you are talking about and thereby you would only be appealing to folks who are already inclined to agree with your conclusions and without evidence.  I doubt that would be very convincing for a vast majority of members here, especially when you are starting out with little to no credibility (if we are assigning some value to merits or maybe there is some other measure that you would prefer to help you establish credibility?)

I never said I had no idea what is for me valuable posts.

Fair enough point; however, your earlier post suggests to me that you might be able to profit from such research.. but perhaps I was reading too much into the lacking of the post and your supposed insight into value was not clear from me based on what you already said... by the way, I did not read your post history, either, before I made my response to you.

I never said I am a newbie on cryptoland.

Who gives a ratt's ass whether you are a newbie or not?  You are posting from a newbie account, and the content of your earlier post comes off as newbie-ish - especially in its seeming lack of backing for your various conclusory remarks.

Maybe in fact, I helped you in other platforms, a lot, in certain projects, during several months and for free. But you are welcome, if this was the case.

Maybe you are making shit up?  

I don't deny that I have been helped a lot in this forum and through my participation in other forums.  I also have these kinds of interactions in real life too that are both learning and teaching events.  

In various forums, I interact with people (or at least their posts) and I frequently profit from such interactions, even though they do take a certain amount of time to carry out.  I would like to conclude that I help people from time to time, too in my participation in various forums (and threads) and in real life too, and largely, there is no direct money being exchanged for my learning from the posts or from the substantive interactions that I provide.

I understand that some people charge for their services, and perhaps monetized relationships can provide additional value, but they also change the dynamics of the relationships.  

Again, your point about providing free information versus charging for the information remains a vague one, too, and you are certainly not demonstrating that someone like me would be willing to pay for your information or your services.  Furthermore, over the years, the internet has certainly changed the dynamics in which a lot of previously paid for information has been made available for free for those who are willing to search it out and to perform some leg work to filter the good, bad and the ugly... or at least to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I am now a source the best way for me to be neutral is to look at a list of names of jr to newbie and read posts.

I now have a list and have decided to pass on the first 2 people on the list.

   I do have a concern about people selling merits.  0.0010 is cheaper then 0.0020  for copper purchase.  I am not selling merits I am reading posts on the list I have been given.


But My concern would be other sources will sell that 1 merit  for 0.0010 btc.

They'd be risking red trust if they do that. More likely some old/hacked accounts could engage in such sales.

good point.

I looked at the first part of the list sent to me from thermyos

I do not want to  get these people marked up with red trust  but I do want to continue do this tomorrow.

I have hundreds more to check these have the most posts.

My assumption is posting this list is okay but I will stop if thermyos says not to post it.

One caveat is there are some posts in other languages which I don't know.

Edit: Just to be clear, I did not pretend to say that asking for help is a garbage post. English is not my native language, as you may suspect by now.
I hope that this time I was clear enough why I do not have a lot of respect for this change of rules and how they were implemented and are being addressed.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Here's the thing. The newbies who deserve to rank up aren't the ones in these threads.

A good user who sees a new requirement for them to gain a single merit doesn't jump in to Meta and bitch about the merit system/higher ranked members/losing their reason for spamming/etc. They also don't make a post saying how great the change is, because they clearly don't believe that and it's a hollow attempt at begging.

A good user who sees a new requirement for them to gain a single merit goes to the sticked post about merit, learns about the merit system, reads the top merited posts of all time and recent, and examines and changes their own posting behaviour.

Unfortunately the former outnumber the latter by 100 to 1.

[Initscri]

I'd probably recommend an increase of more than just 1 merit (due to abusers as mentioned above), but I'm glad to see at least further requirements of merit for levelling up.

If users aren't willing to even try and get 1 merit point, they shouldn't be on this forum.
Glad to hear Theymos, hopefully this does something to help w/ spam. Thanks!

This.  I feel like by simply raising this limit to 3 your going to make it immensely more difficult on the spam for cash poster.  Hell even the worst of the worst poster can get lucky with a single post and a generous merit giver.  They may try post after post trying to get that 1 merit.  Needing 1 gives you hope.  Needing 3 gives you butt hurt.  I really hope the leadership will consider this.  

Not to mention it's somewhat easy to abuse merit and give 1 point using an alt. It's just simply not as obvious, and hard to detect.

Switching to a more random number would be better. Sending 3 merits on the same date, that abuse would be a bit more obvious.

I've been working and I'm going to be working on scripts/bots to detect spam, I would be able to pickup abuse of 3 merits easier than 1 merit.

I noticed the mention of the idea of buying Junior membership. There's only 1 way I like that idea:
If the funds collected from the purchasing of junior membership is funnelled into the mods and developers contracted on behalf of BitcoinTalk to create scripts/bots which detect spam and try to prevent future spam. I'm currently working on some bots/scripts on my own time volunteer wise, but if BitcoinTalk was able to hire developers to create these spam prevention methods, I know a lot of good developers would join in and help (myself included, I'd be able to put a lot more time towards it). Doesn't have to be a hiring procedure, could be a bounty ("First developer to create a way to prevent xyz gets X.XX BTC)

This almost creates sort of a task force against spam, through advanced detection. It would make it easier on moderators, and make it less worth creating spam accounts.

And believe me, I'm not just saying this because I'm a developer. While I'd definitely bid to help, I'm going to be creating scripts/bots to detect against this regardless. I just think the motivation of developers to help out would be greatly increased. Sort of like the BountySource effect.

The nice thing about bots/scripts that scrape BitcoinTalk is that they don't require admin access. And it could be a really cool system. For example: BitcoinTalk could give out a API for reporting of spam (obviously to only select contractors). The amount collected by Junior memberships would be divided by this project/mods. The amount (hereby called "the pot") would be up for grabs by the developers creating these scripts. The amount of successful spam reports by these bots/scripts would give them a stake of "the pot" on a per weekly basis (or other timeframe)

IDK, just a thought. I think it'd be a cool way to promote developers to fight the spam on BitcoinTalk using computing power, even if it is a minimal amount.

[edited out]

If you read my posts about this topic you can clearly see that I do not give a damn about getting merits. 

I suppose that I could take your word on that point, and perhaps there is no real evidence that you were attempting to get merits? 

By the way, this whole topic is not about you, either, and when members, such as me, respond to public posts, there are likely certain public elements to the response that might be targeted at either other possible readers or just making related post that we would like to make, within our discretion or just by happenstance.

I am not a professional bounty hunter, also.

Surely, you are bringing this up on your own, because I don't recall directly accusing you of such.. I doubt that I even thought that.  Now you make me question my own thoughts about you.. and why would I care about you, except that I am responding to your post, right? ... hahahahahaha

But I give a damn when I read some people that seem to be so intitled to make fun, address others in an unpolite way and in a patronising way when their own records are full of garbage posts in my opinion.

Seems like these kinds of assertions would need examples, right?  It is one thing if a member uses colorful and expressive and even assertive language and another thing if the member seems to be engaging in abusive behavior.

Of course, some higher ranked members are going to blow their tops sometimes, and perhaps even go overboard a bit in their addressing more junior members - including newbies.. but part of the justification for their behavior could be the pervasiveness of trolls, spammers and scammers.  Surely, I cannot speak for others especially when there is not a context, but I believe sometimes strong language is appropriate, too, and sometimes members need to learn how to have a bit of a skin to tolerate "meanies" on the internet.

I am fairly certain if anyone is able to identify a pattern of behavior that goes overboard and reports the behavior, then at least it will be looked into by moderators/administrators, unless they conclude that the reported "abuse" does not rise to the level of disciplinary behavior.

I am sorry if I was not clearly enough about this.

Actually, sometimes clarification can be achieved through back and forth posts as long as posters are willing to go through such back and forth... Sometimes, the back and forth escalates and just goes into yelling back and forth...

Actually, in my forum history, I have had some fairly intensive back and forths with members, and sometimes we will "make up" later, even if we might have some disagreements about some of the fundamentals.

And yes, I am a newbie here and I never asked for anyone help because I like to find my own way to solve my own issues, if possible.

I find nothing wrong with attempts at self-sufficiency, and surely self-sufficient and resourceful folks are going to be able to learn and to provide value especially when it can be difficult to sort through good and bad information and even misleading information that comes out in these kinds of forums.

On the other hand, many of us might need some help from time to time in attempting to figure out some current dynamic in the space and not necessarily jumping to bad conclusions based on incomplete information... even some of the smartest posters need to gather some information from other members from time to time.. I am thinking about one particular poster who is considered real smart (I don't want to say the name), but anyhow, the point is that even the smartest posters sometimes will benefit themselves (and others) by asking some questions (even basic questions) before rushing to conclusions that are NOT sufficiently supported by evidence.  From time to time, I am guilty of the same (by the way, some others might proclaim that I am guilty of this a lot, but surely I am not going to go anywhere near that level of concession... hahahahahaha).

Do not condemn other people for being different, anyway.

This point also seems to require some evidence, and sometimes the condemnation is not merely based on "being different" but instead based on some specific situation that has arisen. 

Without having to go back and peruse every point that we made in our posts, for you and me, it seems that I have been condemning you (to the extent that my words fit into the category of condemnation) for failing and refusing to back up some of your conclusions, and I had also suggested some ways that you might attempt to provide value to the forum, if you were so inclined to share some of your research into the topics of your stated concerns.

We are all just humans afterall, so each one unique and different.

Not everyone here is a human, and that remains part of the problem in dealing with bots, and many newbies are bots, too.   

The unique and different proclamation sounds like a meaningless platitude that does not progress the conversation.

One way that we can attempt to verify that another poster is human, and is a human that is attempting to provide value to the forum is by interacting with the poster.   Part of the issue that involved the current topic of this thread, here, is that theymos is attempting to provide weeding out tools that make it more difficult for non-humans and disingenuous posters to invade the forum and to take away forum value.

Edit: Just to be clear, I did not pretend to say that asking for help is a garbage post. English is not my native language, as you may suspect by now.

Perhaps there has been some miscommunications based on language issues (English level), so fair enough that you attempt to clarify that.

I hope that this time I was clear enough why I do not have a lot of respect for this change of rules and how they were implemented and are being addressed.

Based on your already stated concerns, it remains unclear to me why you are spending so much time on this particular topic and even your assertion that higher ranking members are abusive of their rank... I also don't understand why it would be necessary to attempt to clarify your concerns, here, but surely you have a right to express such concerns; however, when members like me read your concerns (and we perceive a lot of ambiguity and perhaps speaking out of both sides of the mouth) then it may spark some of us into aggressive responses towards you, so it is possible that you are sparking the behavior about which you you are supposedly concerned.

Appreciate a lot that you took so much of your time to make such a complete reply to my post(s). You are gaining adicional respect from me.
Will take some time during the weekend to send to you some of the post/phrases that I read that triggered me so much, but none of them towards me and some examples, also ,of high ranked members that I think post a lot of garbage posts, just to clear enough my previous opinions.

PS- No clue how can I tag you, but I think that you know is for you.

I understand that sometimes there is a risk that another member might not see a responsive post.

Seems like sending me a PM would be the most certain way to alert me to such a post - or alternatively, responding to one of my posts might cause me to notice it.

I was confused that senior members express so much joy of new restricts for nubies.
Little less snobbery would be better.

[Steamtyme]

It's not snobbery. The restrictions have nothing to do with newbies who come here to learn,contribute or be a part of the community.

The restrictions were put in place to combat the spam problem that had overrun most decent conversations on the forum.

That is why people are happy to see this in place.

I don't believe it's snobbery. I believe it's purely relieved frustrations. A "load off our shoulders" sort-to speak.

Remember, a lot of us were here back many years ago. We remember a forum where spam wasn't much of a thing.

What do you think, who these wonderful nicknames? Of course this is all new Jr. Members. Up 48 accounts!  
Hero who did it, already red - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=218947
But most likely it was done in farm. I also found an explicit link between some of these accounts (

Good work.

I am only concerned about the new threads about "How to become jr member on BTT" that will pop up frequently in meta.

This is what I said few posts ago, 1 point is good but not enough since high ranks has a lot of merit and sells/sends to alts with no problem and that's why maybe 5 merit are better than 1 for Jr.Member.
