What Would Be Your Reason to Leave Bitcointalk?

[lovesmayfamilis]

I either get permabanned or if personal/health/life problems prevent me from being active. BTT has been part of my daily life for a while now and to be honest other than it being a great information hub about all cryptocurrency-related things it is also a good place to stumble upon news that you usually miss or don't know about.

I agree with you. I couldn't choose five options. In my life, I had to leave the forum twice. The first case was due to my own mistake as a beginner, and in the second case, I was forced to leave the forum for personal reasons due to the illness of a loved one.
My absence has never happened of my own free will. The forum has become a part of my life for me; the morning starts with a cup of coffee and reading the forum. The day ends with a reading of the forum. I am not in danger of inadvertent enrichment, I am not on social networks, the people who are here are pleasant to me. Therefore, I hope that the forum will remain in my life as long as I would like.

Where is the bitcoin option can't legally traded? LOL
I feel the government will be the biggest hindrance because of the regulation they put in place for bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. If bitcoin and altcoin trading is banned by the state, then I think it's time I left this forum even though there are a few other point that make sense in the pool.

Were you banned at one point when you were just starting out?

Bitcoin and crypto are already banned in a number of countries around the world, but it doesn't stop people from trading P2P and using TOR, VPN, and other tools for masking their whereabouts. The point of bitcoin is not allowing the government to tell you what to do. But I guess it's a whole different story if someone gets punished hard for doing whatever they deem to be illegal.

I have left fora for a number of reasons in the past.

I left a domainer forum when it converted to a paid membership.
I have left a few because they stopped allowing links to my sites in signatures, or they stopped allowing signatures.
I left another one when it was taken over by a load of people whose only interests seemed to be travelling to spain, and getting drunk on cheap booze.
I've cut back on my posting in the Bitcoin Talk forum, as it seems to have been taken over by many who have a passive acceptance of government and msm misinformation and propaganda.

It would be great if we could have some threads that discussed and questioned the manipulated fake news that is affecting our live to a considerable extent. Obvious topics are pharmaceuticals ans vaccination, fiat currencies and their replacement, the manipulation of wealth preservation assets, the destruction of family values, distortion of human sexuality, and a whole range of similar topics.

I am certain you are talking about COVID-19 and vaccinations.

Most of those are off-topic discussions that shouldn't be the focus of a bitcoin forum. They belong either in off-topic, serious discussion, or politics. Bitcoin can be discussed with homosexual anti-vaxxers who love the British pound, as well as straight people who live in families with 2-3 children who don't want to get their COVID shots. You can combine the options anyway you want. I don't understand why you would stop using a bitcoin forum due to someone's off-topic/unimportant viewpoints.

My first thought: I'll leave when I'm dead.

So I clicked these:

I can’t get any merits or trust, so I don’t want to be here anymore.

By the time I turn into a shitposter, it's time to leave.

Age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active.

Family and personal problems always come first. But as long as I'm not dead, I assume that's only temporary.

Death. Though I may still haunt the forum after I die. Haven't decided yet.

If you do, please screenshot https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php and post it For science, of course

Other members> <may have mentioned it when leaving the forum, Lauda

There's an option missing from the poll: personal safety, privacy and/or taxes. Lauda's post made me feel like (s)he left because of safety:

unforeseen pressures in the shadows leave me no option but to leave the forum permanently.

And if theymos doesn't answer those questions of mine

Good thinking! I also got the feeling from reading the goodbye thread that someone was on to her or made a serious threat that made her quit.
Therefore, the option "Personal safety, privacy and/or taxes" has been added to the poll.

yep, he got banned for copy-pasting according to hilariousandco but it was then changed to a temporary ban and 1-year sig ban most likely because of his contribution to the forum. in the end, I am glad everything went in his favor. sorry for answering on his behalf.

here's the ban appeal thread he created
DT1 member lovesmayfamilis BAN

[Peanutswar]

Some of the contributors to our forum get exhausted so some of them decided to take a break for a meantime, few of them leave permanently because they want to give a shine to other member and think have enough contributions and let the other members continue the legacy.

These are some guess why they leave.

• Have enough funds
• Settled in life
• Feel tired of the same daily routine
• Get banned

I think for me it's hard to leave the forum there is a lot of information here that gives help to my future investments and more.

[Delightcrypto1]

I almost left due to mod and deletion of my post. But now I  find it difficult to leave this forum because it has helped me a lot. It developed my reading and quality post habit.

[Delight Media]

There are many reasons that makes some people to back off from forum. Among many of the reason is the moderation. Some people became discouraged and left forum because most of their post is deleted or ban

[isaac_clarke22]

Is there an option where "When KYC now required in the forum"?  jk lol. I already long time ago that theymos wouldn't do it.

For real, I chose the options "Age, family, life,....." and " Personal safety, privacy and/or taxes....".
It is the same way for me when I take a break from Facebook, and I just read the stuffs here in the forum and chill.
That's why when life gives ya lemons, grab a tequila.

Just joined (late to the party) so won't be leaving anytime soon. And it reminds of Craigslist (just checked, it's still up!). So basic and yet functional.

I don't understand why you would stop using a bitcoin forum due to someone's off-topic/unimportant viewpoints. 

If it was just  one member, then I would just put him on ignore, and I have done this with a couple of stalkers.

I was referring to the general mindset. If the majority of members are just posting MSM reports, and not bothering to research or question the facts, and those posts are showered into potentially interesting threads, then it isn't worth trying to follow the thread. This is especially true if such members have to clog the thread with redundant quotes and images. The tech boards are great for helping members with Bitcoin issues, but Bitcoin is now established in the world economy, and therefore it has become important to consider global political and economic issues. It seems few are prepared to investigate anything beyond their own local issues, and the peccadilloes of their politicians.

I think most popular reason would be failure to get into good paying signature campaign, or a reduce of profitable bounty campaigns. Or "earning using forum" in general.

Great example is Cryptotalk forum, that was once advertised here in signatures. Due to lack of bounty campaign (last bounty campaign on that forum ran more than half year ago) a number of users left that forum. After forum owners reduced the amount of post reward, great amount of user left it. Only spammers and those who have high ranked accounts and use forum for referral link promotion are left there.

I think the mistake with cryptotalk was that they advertised themselves as 'earning' forum. That only gets you far. While here, if you have any question regarding crypto, there is high chance you will receive a response that solves your trouble, here we have noteworthy members, some of them who are here since BTC was at much less value than it's right now.

Many coin/token founders were active on this forum at one time. That brings reputation in itself.

Also, the 'couldn't get into signature campaign' is 0 voted option in poll so far.

Good catch. He didn't even bother making unique usernames, that's how little he cares. Probably a bad attempt to get a merit by voicing his opinion.

I am sure many people would leave exactly for that reason, but they are not willing to share that info.

Is the poll anonymous? If yes, I don't see reason why wouldn't they be real there.

As far as I know, only Admin can see who voted what.

Two alternative accounts write about one event, that is, that messages are deleted. But they may be facing another reason why they can leave the forum. Moreover, both accounts are familiar with the fact that you cannot plagiarize, and it is also difficult to call them a beginner. However, they do have plagiarism.

2 Accounts Connected

1.Delightcrypto1
2.Delight Media

Plagiarism was found on one account. According to the rules of the forum, both accounts should be banned.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg57050646#msg57050646

Although, according to one of the accounts, we should be lenient and even encourage them with a warning. 

The issue of plagiarism is just too much. But I don't think completely banding such from the forum is right because some of those users our brothers or sisters directly or indirectly and they maybe a newbies. So I think the Admin should pass warning note them as a way of encouraging the. But if they violent the not then they should be made to face the punishment attached to such disobedience.

There is many reasons why I would leave forum.
First and the most obvious is death.
Then ban. If I would get banned, no way that I would be ban abuser and would start with new account.
Real life stuff. Maybe I won't have enough time for Bitcointalk because of family, work or other interests which will become more important than Bitcoin. Or maybe I simply will get bored with crypto and it won't give joy for me.
KYC - no way that I would do it here.
Another thing which wasn't mentioned is change of ownership. If new owners of Bitcointalk would be anti-Bitcoin and turn this forum into something like Bitcoin.com, there wouldn't be any reason for me to stay here. Even if signature campaigns will remain, there is more important things than it.

Great example is Cryptotalk forum, that was once advertised here in signatures. Due to lack of bounty campaign (last bounty campaign on that forum ran more than half year ago) a number of users left that forum. After forum owners reduced the amount of post reward, great amount of user left it. Only spammers and those who have high ranked accounts and use forum for referral link promotion are left there.

I completely forgot about this forum. Does it still exists? Without bounties it was difficult to imagine different faith for this forum.
