Offensive words on the forum

[Maslate]

This forum consists of members from various countries, each with different traits and cultures. While you may find certain comments offensive, others may not, especially considering the anonymous nature of our interactions and the uncertainty of the real owner behind each account.

However, it's important to remember that as forum members, we should adhere to the forum rules. As long as the replies do not violate these rules, there is no grounds for penalizing the account.

The best approach is to utilize the 'ignore' feature, which allows you to avoid reading posts from specific users.

Speaking of "Offensive" there will be no end.
If you are offended by other people's words, you just don't need to listen and if you really can't stand the words, then you just choose the option to ignore, is it difficult?


I strongly agree with what is said @LoyceMobile dan @hilariousandco.

I'm offended by people who are offended by words. Grow a thicker skin and enjoy freedom of speech, even for the people you disagree with.

They're just words and only you can let them effect or hurt you. Just ignore anything you deem offensive.

This forum is an open space, someone can say according to their respective perspectives in responding to problems in the topic of conversation, are you trying to close the space of freedom just because you are offended.LOL

Bitcointalk is a place where you can have the actual freedom of speech so the words which you feel offensive can be just a common words to say for someone else, and if you feel like someone is keep doing that often then just put then on ignore so you won't see the posts made by them anymore.

Its very common that we can see hate speech against two on the internet platforms so bitcointalk is not an exception but forum rules says no trolling and death threats allowed and if you see them then don't hesitate to click report to moderator button and let the mods take care of it.

...and you took that really serious?? I mean, C'monnnn brown... He ain't even made mention of the word "stupid" in his post and you began to feel that way,..how 'bout if he called you a dumb-ass or something??
You gotta learn and develop a thick skin... Many have been slammed mercilessly for either making a post that's uncalled for, and at the end of the day, some radical members could abuse the defaulter in the process.. that's what you get; maybe sometimes, you don't seem to understand why it should be so, .. honestly, you don't really have to cus if any strict measures are taken on peeps that ask unnecessary questions or make repulsive Post, then you're likely to get banned as well and that would also make BTT an unbearable place for newbies...

No form of response is wrong as long as it contributes to the learning behind the thread. How would you feel if you made a thread and nobody responded to it? Sometimes members find different means to fit into a discussion that seem difficult to understand or isn't controversial. like everyone said, no need to be sad about a member's criticism on a thread. Have you noticed that such abstract responses get merited by some members. Meaning that, while it gets you sad, other members find if funny. Along the line in the thread, when another member opposes the critic they may come back to explain in details why they responded that way to the OP. It's all fun and they must be something to learn from them; don't stop opening threads because of critics. Be a mature and playful member. It'll facilitate your journey.

It is plain to see you are a newbie no wonder you allow the manner of words or statements of members of the forum affects you this much. With time you will learn to ignore many more annoying words liken to this in the future and only focus on picking attention to constructive criticism and correspondents that you think are supportive and developmental to your knowledge here.

Those criticism are what could be described as necessary distractions in the forum and if you are able to rather decipher a positive meaning out of them rather than getting annoyed at them then you would be amazed at how improved and of  quality you have become. There's a popular saying which goes this way: "use the stones people throw at you to build a steps for yourself instead of throwing it back at them"

On Internet, people can hide their identity and become stronger with words than how they behave in real life, face to face. They can use more rudal, impolite words which can be considered as offensive by some people.

Even their words are not offensive, you might not see it matches with your opinion then you disagree with them. It is time to learn to ignore things you see wrong and use Ignore button.

Think why the forum has that Ignore feature on users, boards and personal messages. You are free to use but must consider carefully because being an open-minded person is better.

SOKO-DEKE doesn't browse the forum with notification bot. So, he wouldn't know if you are mentioning him. Besides if he appears here, he will say this post is nonsense and it will cause OP more depression.

[virasog]

Every person is right in his own opinion so do not use offensive words on others who make a post but rather convince them to understanding why their opinion is wrong
Some members of this forum do this alot
Like saying a person's post is nonsense or is of no use like this post made by a newbie
with SOKO- DEKE  saying it is nonsense  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454681.0
Please let us be more polite when making post or replying posts

I didn't find any newbie SOKO- DEKE on that thread and also I can't even find a post stating the word "Non-Sense". I do agree that some people have aggressively stated their point of view but it is not necessary that one's opinion matches with others and we have full right to argue with any person if we do not agree with his or her statement.

Sometimes people may use in-appreciate language which may hurt anyone, we have the option to ignore the person who is constantly bugging us, but a better reaction will be to give a respectful reply to a harsh comment and the other person will feel ashamed.

Remember If you are bad to a bad person there is no difference between the two, but if you are good to a bad person, then you are far superior to him.

No offense expected when we become part of a multi-cultural and language community in online forum like bitcointalk forum. I understand that some people may be offended by words, but in the end it's not what deserves more attention.

In fact, I was once called a sycophant by one of my own local users because I had too much respect for smart and knowledgeable minds from other users when I tried to improve post quality and rank up. But in the end they also realized it was my way to increase skills and knowledge. Local users respect each other with good manners, but not all users have good manners in discussions, and it can also happen on global boards. You know that not all respondents on a topic will give constructive advice, but sometimes there are some insults that we really don't want to hear.

SOKO-DEKE is far from a beginner I don't understand why the author of the topic mentions him at all. There is nothing offensive from SOKO-DEKE in the thread he links to. He's just talking about bitcoin, that's all.

Yeah, the op should understand that human are bound for correction so if someone actually says something against your post or reply to a thread the best thing you should do especially in the big community like this is just to take as a positive energy for yourself and instead of whining, you should just learn a lesson from it or just ignore it as every normal average person would do. And by the soko deke himself would have received a couple of correction in his struggle to improve here in the community and thats why he is just following the circle of things and correcting others thats needs it.

Does this include someone giving a death threat or wishing death of someone on the forum?

No. Threatening someone with violence or death is a crime and obviously crosses a line.

I was going to ask that same question until I saw it had been asked already. You know, if we advocate that people shouldn't take to heart mere words thrown here as hurting since it's just social media and not physical; why then is a comment issuing threat any different and punishable since it's also on social media and not physical?

This topic reminded me of Poetry, by TMAN. Enjoy!

Oh, TMAN! Does any even know where he is? User hasn't been active for a few years now. I hope he's ok. That user was a handful.

We don't know where TMAN has gone since then, he became inactive at a time when Covid 19 was really threatening the world, and he was last active on March 12, 2020. I dug up some of his recent post history while he was active, but he hasn't indicated himself to leave the forum for any reason. Of course I am with you and others hope he is well, but Covid 19 was too vicious at that time.

TMAN was well some months after the pandemic Covid-19 outbreak. This question about his status was raised a few times and I remembered that one forum member who has contact with TMAN in person, confirmed that he was well, no health issues in pandemic time.

I will try to summon that post. Here you go!

It's for information, you can believe it or not. Believe it if you trust ChiBitCTy.

WHERE IS TMAN? for 1 month of inactivity 🤔🤔

Everyone just relax, all is well with TMAN.  I spoke with him recently and he's actually doing better than ever (his words not mine).  He told me he woke up one day and had an epiphany from god.  Apparently he has opened his own ministry, and is preaching the word of the lord while also goat herding ( a biblical action that was once Josheph's way of life).  He said he's over calling everyone prized cunts and will be coming back here soon to preach the word of the lord.  "Bitcoin and Prayer" as he phrased it.

I'm happy that the information is correct, and that's what we hope.
So TMAN has left the forum for something, some kind of repentance or epiphany from God?

[Marykeller]

I don't understand why you find SOKO-DEKE's post reply offensive. SOKO-DEKE was explaining to @fuso. hp why he shouldn't utilize his father's retirement funds to invest in Bitcoin due to how unpredictable and unsafe doing so can be. I couldn't find any instances of his using foul language in the post.

Having said that, read a post carefully before forming an inaccurate opinion on it.

Every person is right in his own opinion so do not use offensive words on others who make a post but rather convince them to understanding why their opinion is wrong

The forum is for 18+. You need a legal guardian.

He needs to be enlightened that this is a discussion forum and we agree to disagree when we sign up here maybe OP is in seminary and is not accustomed to this kind of environment, I've checked the member he is complaining and it's not even offensive words, what if he encounters real offensive words he may leave and take a vacation for being soft and only come back when he is ready.
