I thought there was already a simplified version of it here... guess not.
so yeah, adding that would be a good idea. and the required rank too. people asks that frequently enough to make it a FAQTongue

Added rule with source (and you to the credits of course), thanks for the tip:

Quote
31. User avatars must not contain NSFL or NSFW content, infringe on copyright or attempt to impersonate a user.[10]

I think a rule in regards to Thread hijacking should also be added as well since the list is getting updated. IIRC there was a statement by theymos but couldn't find it to post as reference. I've reported few of users (using my main account) that hijacked other threads for their own purpose and reports were handled by some moderators so pretty much sure it's against the rules.

I think these cover it:

2. No off-topic posts.
22. Advertising (this includes mining pools, gambling services, exchanges, shops, etc.) in others threads' is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, in altcoin announcement threads. [8]

Thanks! Smiley

So when rules change this thread gets an update. That's what I wanted to check. It's good to know that i will not miss new rules now. Cheesy

Edit: Though when I'm already here... when taking all these rules into account, then there is no rule against posting too much on the forum at all when you wear a signature of some kind, right? You can see I nicely format posts to multiple persons now so that it even gets seeable that it is a post directed to more than one persons. Though I often don't have time to post so I take the time to check out developments on the forum each other day.

Guess I become paranoid, fearing a hidden rule everywhere. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Well, I'm willing to bet that not every rule is on this list, as I'm sure there are some unwritten ones that haven't been included just yet.

Posting a lot (on it's own) is not against forum rules, as long as you keep the other rules in mind. So, if you make a lot of shitty posts, you'll be breaking forum rules, but not because you aren't allowed to post a lot.

Cheesy Thanks! And I never do shitty posts... as far as Iam aware. Surely I could get a quick buck by doing so but not doing it let me be a quality poster that campaign managers like and try to keep. Cheesy I always like it more being surrounded by happy people. Tongue

Hello Team Bitcointalk,

Today twice our ANN thread has been deleted (or your site has a technical bug).

just push the delete button does not help, Now if you ever tell us why you push the delete button, we can take this into account in the 3rd attempt.

Are we breaking the rules?, this is not our intention.

But if we do not notice we can change nothing...

Can you advice us why?

Gr.,
Jack

Perhaps somebody might explain what is wrong with this post that it requires deletion from the Wall Observer Thread. Do you have fructose intolerance?

Quote from: Bitcoin Forum
A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

Would you like me to run a program to compile a list of the hundreds of contributions containing the terms ETH, Ether or Ethereum from that thread for you? I can help you sterilize your forum.

You don't seem to understand how this process works. Obviously you are allowed to mention it to a certain degree as long as you mostly stay on topic. However, in your case your post has nothing to do with either Bitcoin or the topic (I assume). Keep in mind that moderators can't keep track of every post as well.

You might consider moving or closing the thread, rather than arbitrarily deleting posts in the pretence that the Wall Observer has a topic.

Should bumps for 3/4/5 year old threads be reported? I've been seeing some posts being made on old threads like these which don't make any sense whatsoever... But there isn't really a rule for that as far as I could see.

Yes. Technically not always, but I'd say that in 99% of the cases that I've seen so far they were useless necro-bumps. These are usually created by bots, or spammers. Only in rare cases where the person really does contribute and does not want to create a new thread are they left intact. You could always send them to a moderator directly if you aren't sure.

I don't moderate it.

I am having trouble finding a source, however it appears that the following rule is missing:
33. Posts about the moderation of a thread, or about the moderation of the forum in any thread outside of Meta is automatically off topic

I had reported a couple of posts in a thread outside of Meta that were discussing the moderation of the forum, such posts were subsequently deleted and this thread was created.

If possible, please add to the OP.
