do you think most people reads on the forum??

[RapTarX]

It's because people are posting in threads which is not of his interested area. I'm very much ineterested in bitcoin technical stuff and some other bitcoin related stuff. I spend a lot of time reading these sections, although very few times I have posted something there.
It's never a good idea to post something without reading the topic as well as all the discussion taken place on the topic. But the way signature campaigns are being managed poorly, particularly the altcoin bounty campaign manager, it will be a pain in the ass at the end, I guess someday theymos will consider removing it. It's the only way open now to get out of these low quality posts.

[mersal]

Some sections like altcoin discussion is getting out of control with spams and I don't think anyone will read the posts on those section since any useful posts will get buried by lot of useless shit posts in matter of minutes.But if we wanted to help in reducing that spam we can report it to moderator with specific reasons and wait for it to be handled.

Bitcointalk was one of the most informative forum about cryptos but now bounty hunters invaded every sections and its really hard to find something useful for any one who is searching about crypto related but when they have enough time to go through threads then they can find more useful replies and it can be highlighted with number of merits as well.

Reading Blogs/Discussion Forums is very useful for getting information of different topics especially which are of your interest but unfortunately nowadays the discussion have gone very wide which sometimes are not needed for the interest of the reader.
I believe topics which are of real interest are read,irrespective of length f the content.
The spam messages should be reported to the administrator and such user should not be allowed to post again in the forum.

[Kprawn]

This has been "tested" time and time again, because some people will create clickbait topics for their threads and then say something very different

in their content and people will still reply with something that was said in the header or title of the thread. They just read the damn title without

reading the content and then start posting randomly. The OP can even post something further down in the thread for example "All off-topic posts will

 be deleted or reported" and people will still post nonsense replies. People are just too lazy to read and they get exposed when they do things like

that. Take the time to read the posts and not end up with a red face when you get exposed for crap posting.    I love to read, so it is not a

problem for me.

OP, you're right. Many people didn't come here to read. Their main intention to make as many posts in short time as possible and get paid for it. Some of them aren't even interested in crypto and came here just to make money. We can't expect that they will read long articles and will reply to topics only after reading it
But similar trends happens not only on Bitcointalk. It's common on whole online media. People often read just titles without opening article. This is why there is things like clickbait headlines - they need to make something that people would open article.

We cannot expect people to read the whole thread and then reply. What I expect people to at least read 4 to 5 posts above to understand what discussion is going on and then reply something new.

There are two problems here:

1- People do not read at all and submit a general reply according to the topic heading
2- People do read and then repeat the same point of view. This is again non-sense as we do not want to read the same thing again and again but with different words and grammar.

[vlasrodz]

As for me
50-60% of users just waiting for interesting news and posts
Maybe some airdrops
Information about rates or else

Here we can find all this information, and thats nice, really nice

I think most people when making threads and posts do not realize that they shouldn't write that much. I think it's better that you write less because more people will read it and you will get better engagement in the comments. If you write longs posts many people get bored in the midle of the post and the comment irrelevant stuff.

I do not agree with it completely because if something is relevant, then people do not mind reading the whole thing with interest. I do not mind reading through pages if i am interested in a certain topic.

The sad part is that most people come here to make money, so their focus is on the writing and not on the reading.

[barota]

there is lot of information for learn bitcoin in this site bitcointalk .yes there is lot of traders who participe theirs experience with lot of site (exchange;trade;news......)
bitcointalk is an old site that talk about bitcoin and altcois and lot of economics topics . and there are those who read only ; i mean they do not have an account on the site, for example

[Coyster]

Some sections like altcoin discussion is getting out of control with spams and I don't think anyone will read the posts on those section since any useful posts...

The real reason why it's spam filled in the first place is because they do not read, it's either those replying to the OP did not read it, to know if it's a shitpost that should be reported to the moderator rather than being replied to, or they simply do not read the already made replies to know if something similar had been said already, so they wouldn't have any need to post, they just go ahead and post, no matter what it is.

Bitcointalk was one of the most informative forum about cryptos but now bounty hunters invaded every sections and its really hard to find something useful...

It still is, I do not think there is a better place to get updated on cryptocurrencies as well as to learn much about it, as for the spammers, they are actually in every forum/online group etc, not just ours, we just have to use methods such as report to the moderator to reduce it.

[loan.ruiu1]

This happens every day. I think they do not have much time to find and read forum posts! They post articles with similar topics. The spam is too much on the forum.

[evgenia_volkova]

On the same thread you mentioned if you see my reply, I seriously took out time for the analysis of the reviews and tried explaining the point:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5192804.msg52808053#msg52808053

There are users with the moto to address the query or to involve in the discussion and few are here just for publicity. It depends, when we find such post let us alert ourself that we should not become like them and it something wrong there is always a report to moderator button.

Yes it is still the better place to find information about cryptos,if we use google most of the time we will end up finding a scam site or shit site,I said its harder,those spam replies made the legitimate discussion to get vanished so we might have to spend more time to see what is present on the discussion.Already forum members suggesting self moderated thread to control this issue,but it seems altcoin board didn't get any noticeable change.

[Mike Mayor]

I'm starting to think that a large number of members here are actually just plain stupid and annoying. How the hell can you reply to something without reading? People do it hey. All the day time. Yesterday I was reading an OP about someone asking about transaction fees. Half of the people posting there did not read and went way off talking about other altcoins and stuff. -_- It really isn't difficult to be active and post things that make sense and be part of the community. Those who don't shouldn't be in signature campaigns. I see shitty work and spamming the same as theft.

You need to ask yourself before posting whether or not you would pay for the post you about to send. If no then do not hit post. I wonder if spammers are happy with their work and post quality? There is no pride with these people. People who post the same thing on mega threads are the worst. If I open a thread and see many people with wearing the same signature as me already posting then I leave and post elsewhere.
Having 5 people with the same signature posting in a row doesn't help. Spammers do not even think this far though.

Why even in this very thread people have already proven the OP and I to be correct. Let us take a look at the most excellent quality examples we have here shame we.....
Very ironic that they in a thread that's against spamming and discussing it.

Keep in mind I am not petty and I actually have very low expectations with post quality but some posts I read make me angry. Someone gets paid the same as me when I put effort in and they just talk utter shit. It's not fair and it is not right. The spammers reduce the longevity of the campaigns. Without them, we could have a signature campaign for years and years.

It is good to have a summary of your thoughts or you want to share on this forum. What I mean is not doing an essay but with sense. You can summary your post with at least important information. I honestly do not have time to read for a long article but I want to learn more.

We have this brilliant person who is very very confused. "It is good to have a summary of your thoughts or you want to share on this forum." This isn't even English it's very broken and almost senseless but let's let it slide. More broken English (letting it slide) Then the user says in the same sentence "I honestly do not have time to read for a long article but I want to learn more. " He does not have time to read? Then why is this user even posting if they don't have time to read? They clearly didn't have time to make sense either. They want to learn more? How will you learn more if you do not have time to read? This post is just nonesense and means nothing.

there is lot of information for learn bitcoin in this site bitcointalk .yes there is lot of traders who participe theirs experience with lot of site (exchange;trade;news......)
bitcointalk is an old site that talk about bitcoin and altcois and lot of economics topics . and there are those who read only ; i mean they do not have an account on the site, for example

This one annoys me. This English is gutter trash and the quality is pond filth. It also looks like a bot could have spun it? A bot with bad English skills..... All this user has done in his most informal post is point out something everyone knows. There is a lot of info on a bitcoin forum?? You don't say? Bitcoin is an old site?? Point out more obvious things please. This comment adds no weight to this thread. It is horrible spam.

I wonder who actually read this.... I know for a fact these two that I have quoted will not come back and reply since they just post anywhere and never return just to make a post count. I wonder if they proud of themselves? HOw does it honestly feel to contribute nothing? Such selfish people are found on this forum.

[truongtheanhc3]

No, the number of people reading all posts on the forum is very small. I see lots of posts with similar topics. They discussed quite the same problem very enthusiastically and brought a lot of spam to the forum.

most members only posting replies for the signature bounty they joined and dont have the time reading all the replies made on that topic. which sometimes lead to same replies evertime.

I want say something very important to us, I recently noticed that most people don't read lengthy article on the forum and it makes them posting out of the writeup on the thread. most people barely spend time while reading any post in the forum this has made many of us commenting irrelevantly on most posts.

please before posting READ properly to comprehend the contest of the post before commenting on the forum.

please make a reference to this link here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5192804.msg52938139#msg52938139

what do you think about this?? please let watch over this

drop your comments and reduce some spamming post.

Its general concept on internet that no one reads lengthy blogs, descriptions, and posts. If you want to drive attention to your contents then you have to make your point short and specific else very few will read you.

[d3nz]

I don't think so because there is a lot of threads that is already been duplicated and sometimes a new thread with the same slight discussion is being created.

That is why only few people here are reading the forum and page by page. And not like the others are only reading the last page.

[best123]

What are you saying is the truth. I have red comments on some thread that are far from the subject matter. Though moderators are doing good jobs by deleting them. We should keep educating others on this. Gracias!

I could actually agree to that. Most of the people here in the forum doesn't care about the information anymore, instead they focus more on the post count. To be honest, there are times when I am already tired and I end up doing the same thing but as much as possible I avoid to so. Let us make sure that whatever we comment or quote on a certain thread is dirrectly relevant and does not use too much flowering words that are not really related to the post.
