New child board idea - Notable Twitter Threads

[Lucius]

I think such a board would just be a paradise for spammers, and strict board moderation is not something we can expect if we take into account what happened in the Press board. I put in some effort and time to make some kind of order there, and so far we have got rid of spammers and their links.

I might even agree with such a board, but only if the rights to post there would be clearly defined, that is, if they should be approved in advance individually for each member of the forum who would request it. However, in the end, ordinary members cannot decide on such things, and I think that our admins would not be inclined to such an idea.

This. The idea is broken at beginning.

Strict board moderation is not something we can expect if we take into account what happened in the Press board.

We don't need more moderation task for things which basically are unnecessary. No need for new world load for current moderators. No need to hire new moderators and assign them this task.
If anyone love Twitter and Twitter influencers, let's do their homework: Searching.

Search engines will give good list, articles about Twitter influencers, such as The Top 100 Crypto and Blockchain Influencers (on Twitter). Need more, search more, it's easy

I could do that in a self-moderated thread, but in Press it would violate the POST FORMAT: YYYY-MM-DD SITE - HEADLINE format. It also violates the Guidelines for Press board, but most topics do that already.

An exception could surely be made if the staff decided that it would be a good idea to approve this proposal by the OP. I doubt it though. Something like the WO thread that has its own set of rules (or no rules).

We have strict moderation in the Mining boards. Many people don't like it, but try and post something with no value, discuss something off-topic, or about GPU-mining and you will see what happens. A moderator can be strict if he chooses to. The Press board is a place where a firmer hand would be welcome.

I might even agree with such a board, but only if the rights to post there would be clearly defined, that is, if they should be approved in advance individually for each member of the forum who would request it.

That might be too complicated. Instead, whoever moderates that place can just ban those from the sub who spam and don't respect the rules. We have seen that being done in the Technical Bitcoin subs, when the mod decided to sanction certain members by removing their posting rights.

We have strict moderation in the Mining boards.

This board is an exception that confirms that there is no identical moderation policy on the forum, which is logical considering that each moderator chooses how strictly he/she will moderate a board. If such moderation were applied in say Bitcoin Discussion, I believe that 50% of all threads and all posts would be instantly deleted.

If it is complicated (and any additional work for moderators only complicates their work), then it will certainly not be applied. So if we can't provide simple and practical solutions for such a board, I don't see why it would even exist - Press board would be a small baby compared to the Twitter board given the number of tweets that appear in 24 hours. Not to mention who would be competent to say what is a notable tweet, and what is not.

have any of you actually used twitter or is that an assumption?

many twitter threads like these are pretty helpful and insightful educated discussion. i haven't really seen resources i've found on twitter anywhere on these forums:  https://twitter.com/econoalchemist/status/1355437397975027716

The worst example of all.
First, there is no need for the Twitter "discussion" since the author has made a far more detailed tutorial ​here
https://www.econoalchemist.com/post/home-mining-for-non-kyc-bitcoin
Second, that exact article was discussed here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5313387.msg56228772#msg56228772
The need for Twitter? Zero!

And as you can see on all the "threads" you've mentioned the "discussion" is almost nonexistent, nice wow, much great, pics, meme,  nice wow much huge and that's all. There is no real discussion happening anywhere on Twitter, just people shouting at each other and spamming their own "projects", the few notable tweets are already related to some events that are being covered by the media, so starting a whole section based on this would simply turn in a spam fest and a flame war.

a spam fest and a flame war

Now that would be a popular new board

Kinda redundant, we already have Meta.

We don't need dedicated subboards for this but feel free to create your own thread if you wish.
