Advertising spam is not allowed

[alani123]

So a new coin was released today and this was one of the first replies to the ann post.

2 listed pools don't work and i can't find others because of the rule that pool owners arent allowed to advertise, guess i have no way to mine this

This makes want to ask, If a pool op stepped in and answered to this with a link to his working pool would this also be considered advertising?

Don't forget to add your coin to our AltCoinCalendar!

PS: Add your coin even if it was already released. Only coins that will be on site will profit from new functionality we are working on.

This is the kind of thing that should be banned... just saw it on three different threads.  And looking at their post history they put it on many other threads too..

HAH you are funny. Looks like this is not forum. Because you can"t inform coin owner so he adds his coin for free no payment or % from them and he will get better recognition.

this is bullshit rule that fucks over those of us who want to find pool fast and grab some of the first low difficulty coins, i don't want to be checking the mining subforum or waiting for dev to get pm and add to op, this only wastes time and allows ppl with their own mining hardware and insiders to get more of the easy coins

its only spam when pool owner post their link in the same thread multiple times, don't see the problem allowing them to post once

Like saddampbuh said. You can"t post once to topic so you inform coin owner about the thing how you can help with recognition. I am not getting any % from it so....  Stupid rule.
And yea it was posted once to each coin that was not on our site, not to every coin. People are looking for specifications and everything and owners need places where their coin can be found. Why the f.... are they then adding their coins to our site? Because its usefull it has a lot of information that is otherwise hard to find.

Posting once should be alowed!!

Listing available pools in the OP is fine.

I really don't understand why people grumble about this... Pool Operators can contact the coin dev and ask to include a link to their pool in the OP. Problem Solved!

No, the problem is not solved.  Dev's are not online 24/7.  Not all devs are responsive.  This allows the dev to only accept their favorite pools and accept payoffs.  This does not spread the hash.  This does not allow miners to mine until/if the dev updates the OP.  Not even close to a solution...more like a de-lution.

bitcointalk is considered a malicious link on twitter.

True, a lot of devs take too long to add a pool if they ever do anyway, this could only lead to centralization. The best solution would be to simply allow pool ops to be able to post at least ONCE.

Nah, I guess it's because twitter is trying to completely noob proof their website. You have no idea how many "non computer savy" people use it. Since bitcointalk doesn't filter posts, some of them are going to be scams.

I've edited the OP to make it a bit more general and cover all service related spam, which includes pools.

I guess now we -want- self moderated threads for coin announcements

I agree that the advertisement spam has gotten out of control, but can we at least post a one liner -once- in a coin thread? No images/etc? Just something along the lines of ______________ has added this coin

If a new coin is released, and I create a pool for it, am I allowed to post just one time to inform miners that a pool has been setup? eg: "pool is up at: pool url here"

Or is that classified as advertising spam?

That's got to be okay.  If that's considered "advertising spam" then this rule is beyond ridiculous.

I second that. The reason I said I'm against this is because it was unclear. If information such classifies as advertising according to the rule then this this is bringing ridiculousness to a new level.

 3 of my posts have been deleted without explanation already and they each were simple "pool is up at ..." posts...if there were guidelines, I would follow them, but there is a lack of information of what is or is not allowed.

Can we get an answer on this?

[gabol1]

well all come to this forum to find informations... and with all restrictions you will kill this forum... No informations == no users...  Keep up "good" work

[SecondsOld]

I think the keyword is advertising "SPAM" is not allowed.  If it is highly related and pertinent to the coin, it should not be viewed as spam.
