Reading this forum is unbearable and impossible

[Bossian]

What I don't understand is how bounties are at all a worthy endeavor, for anybody.

As with other social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.), bounty hunters are just advertising their projects to each other. Nobody else is paying attention. If you're not a member, what are the chances you're going to wade through pages of crap in Altcoin Discussion (and sadly, Bitcoin Discussion to a large degree) in order to find one morsel of semi-useful information?

Oh, you're this guy:

It should always be possible to make exceptions when posters of the highest quality apply. I mean instant upgrade from Newbie to Full member.

Well you should thank me, I mocked one of your sig campaign pleas and it earned you some pity merits in the process. (It actually earned you Member status).

It was all well deserved  
Joking aside, thanks bro I was drunk that day I guess. I am not here for sig campaigns, wouldn't mind being accepted into one actually but that's not the initial purpose of my registration on this forum.

Finally saying that he was drunk at the time he posted.

He got merit points for that?

Mods?

I never said the forum was full of trolls, I said it was full of moronic bots. I much prefer trolls to copy paste bots, at least you can communicate with trolls. And I never begged for merits here, I would give them to you if I could

He got merits from a mod 

OK I double checked, it was just 1 merit. No harm really.

All the trolls who are Hero or Legendary members were grandfathered in after the Merit system. There's never been a case of a troll reaching Hero or Legendary afterward.

He'll have to up his game and actually contribute to the community, and god forbid learn something about cryptocurrency if he actually wants to rank up much further.

Bossian, you have few options to make this forum in some way better for you and others, and they are just a few clicks away. As others say try to use Report to moderator button, report spam, low quality posts, scams, referrals links and everything that is not under the rules of the forum. There is also option to ignore any user, so you will never see his messages again - or option to ignore whole board.

I can only say that few years ago this forum was in much worse shape than today, few signature campaigns are run by bots (only counting posts), and they produce huge amount of spam / low quality posts all over the forum.

If anybody wants to have a bit of fun, there is a tool created by the IBM Watson AI lab called GLTR (Giant Language model Test Room) that aims at detecting whether a text is AI generated or human generated. See: http://gltr.io/dist/index.html

It provides some sample texts, but you can provide your own. In brief, it matches each word with a prediction based on the previously written word. The more predictable the words, the more likely the text is AI generated (green and yellow in the tool’s output). Further details here: http://gltr.io/

AI to trap AI …

Signed up quite recently.

The few times I started a topic to ask a genuine question, I saw plenty of replies, most of them off topic, most of them very dumb (sorry), looks like a lot of morons posters there (sorry again), it's like parrots or bots posting without having a clue.

If I had a ban hammer here I would ban 80% of the posters for flooding, or for just being stupid bots.

Hope something can be done. Thanks for reading anyway!  

Wait, wait.
So you are saying that you've asked a question but after reading the answers to your question suddenly you knew which of them are incorrect and stupid.
Suddenly you became the expert.

So I guess it was a provocation. From the beginning.

;-)

Better get used to it.

Also it is not so bad at all to learn how to find a cherry.
You can train how to sort the information thanks to such an answers ;-)

Best wishes.

I believe it is important to have some social chit-chat threads to keep such interactions out of the major threads. The wall thread is one good example, and I started the coffee lounge thread in the Ivory Tower ( which is hardly used ). Perhaps it would be worth having at least one such thread on each of the major boards.
