What one change would you like to see in bitcointalk in 2023

[ZAINmalik75]

The classical look of bitcointalk.org has its own swag.
If I want to see something new in bitcointalk.org in 2023 is the alerts like we have in facebook, gmail etc. Right now have to manually check whether someone replied to our post or not. If such feature is added to bitcointalk.org then it will ease out things. Apart from that I dont have anything in mind that I want to see here, as I said the classical look has its own swag. 

Bitcointalk didn't have option of alert like social media but if they add it will be best for user experience but in telegram there is a bot @BTTSuperNotifier_bot through this bot you can get every notification like merit , mentioned any many other, but first you have to attached this bot with your bitcointalk account and then add also all those topic where you want alerts, after than when every you have been mentioned or selective topic got reply you will be notified.

I wish you would have told him about this one instead of just prompting him using a notification bot. In additional options you can also set notifications to -''notify me of replies'' before you reply to a post. I thought it would help him get notified when someone replies to his post or quotes him. He only needed to tick the points to activate them.

The first thing I wanna see in forum in 2023 not only 2023 but I always hoped that the forum would bring the option of two factor authentication. I think nowadays most of us are victims of phishing in various ways and if there is two factor authentication I think it can be a bit more secure from this side.
Also, there is one more thing I would like to see and that is to improve the responsive display aspect. Because it has been seen that many times when we create a post on pc it's all ok in pc but when we open that post in mobile the post became vice versa.

No I am not is favor of promoting such kind of bot in this forum but I just want to help him, because he want to get all kind of notifications from bitcointalk and that the reason I told him about it. because personally
I used it to get notifications of recent activity of user from bitcointalk.
Personally I don't know about this feature of Bitcointalk so my apologies now I will used this feature to notify instead of any things else

A NSFW board, and another rank called Mythical.😉

<snip>
I think the forum should take over signature campaigns and distribute the funds more widely to members here.  <snip>
<snip>
Not to mention there would be abuse, but I would love to see more members here getting an opportunity to snatch a piece of the pie.

Can you imagine the level of chaos that this development would cause?? <snip>

I'm actually flabbergasted that Og would suggest such a socialist move (but then again, I don't know anything about his political leanings), not to mention that his proposal basically goes against everything bitcoin stands for--in particular not having a big daddy figure dictating anything about money to you.  Jesus.

If any member wants a piece of the sig campaign pie, they can try to earn a spot just like everyone else.  This is a meritocracy here, not a fucking welfare program.

Perhaps a better merit system? I mean, whenever someone receives a merit for their reply to a thread, that user's post comes out on top! It's similar to showcasing whose response has the most substance or is the funniest, similar to reddit's.

But yeah! I think this is the most difficult to implement

How would that apply to multiple posts though? 🤔

[KingsDen]

The forum is fine and cool.
When I was new I user to think that there are many things to add or change in the forum.
Even until now I used to protest that Obvious Scammers should be banned while plagiarists should be given red tag instead of ban.

But I just understood that if a scammer is banned they can easily return with a new innocent account and continue scamming which may be more dangerous.

Forum bitcoin wallet

Such a bad idea. A forum wallet means a web wallet which is very much risky when it comes to security. Why would we need that? Anyway, I would rather prefer a way to tip users through LN. By this, people would also experience some knowledge about LN and it would be more popular.

One rank above the Legendary is my wish.

My wish is to call it Legend.

I don't have a problem with that now as I'm Legendary now

Reporter badges .

Self explanatory, but I think it would help with encouraging reporters. theymos knows this, but obviously has talked about how he wants to implement it correctly, and mitigate abuse of the system.

Trust me, as easy and conspiratory as what I will say is, it's not far from the truth. If badges for reporting posts are given to members who report them, that will scare some users posting where they think these reporters frequent, especially posters who are less than average. There will be members who will consciously want to steer clear of intruding eyes just like a lot of low ranked members like staying away from Meta.

[Agwu]

My wish is for a member rank to start from atleast 5 Merits.

[Rikafip]

Rather than a handful of members making thousands of dollars a month on advertisements, I think it would be cool if everyone had the opportunity to make a couple dollars a week. 

Everyone (and by everyone I mean all members who are capable of writing a coherent sentence) already have the opportunity to make more than a couple of bucks per week as there's more spots in signature campaigns than there are solid members so even shitposters are capable of making $200-$300 per month.

But I just understood that if a scammer is banned they can easily return with a new innocent account and continue scamming which may be more dangerous.

You don't think that's not exactly what scammers are doing anyway, after they get negative tag? Of course they make a new account to continue scamming so banning them wouldn't make then any more dangerous than they are now.


As for me, I would like to see forum being more open to creating few more local boards (Pakistan for sure and eventually Bangladesh) as I don't really see a downsides of that.

A restricted area for higher rank members so they can share pieces of stuff, giveaways, or freebies no illegal pieces of stuff of course, and talk about things that are hidden in the public eyes, some forums have a restricted area and are exclusive for their top members only, another one is social media integration where your post has the option to share in your social media accounts.

2023 will start in about a day or so. There are many suggestions thrown every now and then to improve the forum.

What one change would you like to see in bitcointalk in 2023?
Let's be precise in this discussion and list only a single change that you would like forum admins to make which can make the forum more productive yet it should not lose its traffic.

There are somethings that I want to have in mind and re just listed below 👇
1. Bitcointalk Own wallet
2. Bitcointalk Forum own Advertisments system
3. Bitcointalk Marketplace etc.

My mean was not that to make it a Wallet or exchange but add some extensions so that it could be so cool.

Why is everyone wants to change some of the features on this forum?

Why aren't we happy with the current setup of the forum?

If there was to change anything, theymos would have done it already. When the forum admin did not want any changes and think everything is perfect, why do we insist on the changes?

My answer is that I am happy with the current bitcointalk forum and no changes are required.

As far as I know, theymos also has a rather large list of things they'd like to do, there's just some complications in implementing it, whether that's due to time restrictions or just because there's issues in the current implementation they've drawn up. There was a list that theymos commented on the various suggestions the community has made over the years. It's a bit like the reporter badges, there's issues that's prevented it from happening. I do think eventually we'll see them.

All of the good stuff has already been mentioned by other members, so I'd just go with a simple one... Having the ability to use non-default themes again ^{[e.g. BlackBox theme]}. I do know it was "disabled to reduce the attack surface", but perhaps the changes that were made in the past 9 years could provide enough protection to restore that feature ^{[I'm well aware of the alternative routes, but I prefer not to use something that isn't "officially" part of the forum]}.

[nakamura12]

Not sure on what I would like to see in Bitcointalk if there would be changes made this year but if there are changes that could help us in surfing in this forum then that would be a great help in my opinion like the suggestion made by others being implemented or I don't what it is. As long as it will benefits the forum user then I would be grateful for that. Previously, I was happy that a suggestion is finally implemented where I can see which forum user is the op. I am looking forward to whatever changes made in the forum either from suggestions or the forum staff came up with. Badges is also cool even though I don't have any badge at all.

Not really and it's possible there is a package in the SMF script where members can vote for the best response and it will come out on top of the thread I think that would be one thing that I want to be added or changed members can vote for the best response and it comes out on top below the main thread, it encourages members to give the best possible response in a discussion.

Because many newbie break campaign rule, especially on social media campaign, I hope that some restriction such as no longer accepting newbie in all campaign can become new rules introduced for every manager. I think this rule will save more time for cheater hunters who have been very persistent in trying to clean that section from cheaters. After all, it's not a limitation that makes newbie get jailed in this forum because at least they have to have the effort to post something that makes sense and rank up until they meet the requirements to join the campaign.

I'd really like to know how likely this rule introduced although I think one or two managers could limit the number of newbies in their campaign so far.
