Cryptotalk Future

[Saisher]

IF they allow VPN then banning is just useless.

But they are probably into cost cutting and just continue to ban the IP of the listed countries instead of hiring moderators. The spam still is there even after banning, you still can read the whole sentences of some posters which doesn't really make sense, not eve related to what OP is talking.

instead of coss cutting why not stoping that paid to post campaign in that forum so they will never need to ban any other country.
Then start thier own campaign that they can choose promoters like what they do here when they start a signature campaign.
It will lessen the cost they need to pay to all .

I prefer that they lower the number of posts and increase the reward so people will be obligated to post quality and they should hire good moderators who can easily catch spammers, some spam are caught after a few weeks and these spammers are very active in creating threads so if the thread is deleted so are the number of posts.

it will not work that way. They need to have more funds always since they need to pay all of the poster's .
They need to open a different campaign so they will only choose who is qualified to join and get paid for that. If they will pay them all it will also be abuse by multi accounts creates just to earn. And reducing the post and increase payment may also be possible to them to earn much easier.

They have already took the wrong steps by banning few countries instead of banning the spam posters. A better approach was to check the quality of the posters and ban those who have been spamming. Ofcourse this step requires more moderation which is lacking a lot on cryptotalk.

I am still trying to understand what are they doing because they already lost some good number of members but quality is still not improved and spam is also going as usual and mods are not good as they need to be its just all waste of time and money because its not going to help any one.

I visited the forum and I just notice that they are not accepting new members anymore,. there's only login page or widget but there is no sign up page anymore, I guess they are contented with the number of people on board now, that they don't want a new member right now, and that's also cutting cost for the forum expenses.

I wonder whether they're going to use that for a concentrated cull. If they decide they need some actual, er, quality then it's going to be a lengthy process and little will be left by the end. They should PM us lot. I'll do it for 0.1 per post which is the price of my dignity.

Then there will be only visitors will be added and no more members. Which is actually important if you want to have a good discussion start with your forum, i dont know what the admin think removing the signup option is not a good way since you are looking for more user's on the forum why not try to remove the paid to post camp instead of removing that option and banning country.

If they take away the paid to post feature then it's the end of their forum, I tell you I observe the majority of the member's behavior and they don't want to contribute to healthy discussions, they keep posting the same answers and they keep posting on old threads, the logic is if they post in a new thread there is a possibility of deletion, so check their new thread it took a week before it accumulate answers.

I just now visited cryptotalk its like nearly more than 48 hours after you post this but I can see there is a new member who joined to cryptotalk just before 8 hours. https://cryptotalk.org/profile/230119-karat_minter/

So it seems they are allowing people to sign up from specific countries.

The registration is still off https://cryptotalk.org/register I read from one post that the admin will open soon the one that sign up was approve when they close the registration but I have tried a VPN to check the registration page and it is still off, it will be announced by the admin if they open the registration.

A friend sign up before they close the registration but it's still waiting for activation if they now allow it you will see new member every hour on the forum page, but eleven hours past and still the same name, I guess he was activated from those waiting for activation, I don't see them opening the registration page, they are cutting cost, it will take some time before they open it.

Hell how they will increase the visitors if they dont want people to register.
They get many user's by having a campaign here however by banning many country it reduce it also .  They need User's to have more engagement on that forum if they dont want to pay user's they can easily remove the post to pay.

Well, maybe because they won't get any value from visitors from certain countries. I totally get that logic. If I were to open new websites that I only had advertisers paying for local traffic for showing them local language ads, I would not want the site to be attracting people who don't even understand the ads. It'll make my stats poor (ratio of clickthru very bad for example) and make my advertiser think I suck.

It's only about spam nothing more than that, no value in terms of traffic because in the first place they are not advertising anything yet on the forum, although they announced that they will soon have one, it just so happens that they check the spam stats and these countries has more spammers than other countries.

Ther user who I mentioned on my post was now removed so they are clear with no more new members on their forum.So it becomes like a private chat room,cryptotalk is no more a forum?

It's more like a private forum, this is the only private forum I've known, this is because of people who wants easy money and I think it will stay that way for more months, most of the cities are lockdown and many people are looking for work at home job and they don't want avalanche of spammers in their website.

they should open it for public since that was the reasons for forum to be created.

Traffic is what they needed if they want it to have visitor's  in that forum.

Not accepting new member's will reduce the potential visitors that they can have.

Why not having a competition that having a good topics will be rewarded  with btc in that way their forum will became home not only for spammers.

Closed online societies are went all way to the bottom almost every time, the history proves.
The members are less and less interested to built up or keep on with society they've made and it will slowly die eventually.
In case of cryptotalk there will remain some guys who still want to earn satoshis for posts and thats it

I would not want to meet the type of person who'd visit that forum for... fun or education. It offers absolutely nothing to a visitor. In fact it actively degrades the mental capacity of anyone who attempts to read it. The people posting probably don't read their own posts, let alone anyone else's.

They've constructed an entirely empty and worthless vessel.

Majority of the posts are redundant and just repeating what the other guys are saying with just a simple modification of sentence obviously they want to finish their thirty posts in just a short period of time, they used to ban hundreds but since they cannot keep up banning people they just prefer by countries.

I'd be interested to know how many bots are operating on there. Most of the posters seem too dim for that to even occur to them but there must be some smart cookies. I wouldn't be surprised if there are automated operations hopping between accounts and IP addresses posting on there. It's little work for someone in the know and could add up to a few hundred dollars or more per week if you had enough of them.
