Alas (unfortunately), the exchanges do what they are told. In the future, the situation will worsen in this regard, because there will be strong regulation not only of anonymous assets but also of exchanges.

There are only two ways out, or they obey the jurisdiction + those rules/laws or completely close their activities, both with exchanges and projects. In my understanding, there can be no other way. Again, what you and I are seeing is just the beginning of regulation, the further it goes the worse it gets. Alas... 

It is very clear that if exchanges do not cooperate (voluntarily or not) with governments, they will end up losing the licenses that allow them to keep their businesses running. But if they are going to require more information and reinforce KYC/AML policies they must also think that part of the users (those who care most about their privacy) could stop using those exchanges and trade on other platforms.

It is possible that all this will lead in the future to "all" exchanges using the same methodology to demand private information from users, which would lead us to the fact that if we wanted to trade on exchanges with large volumes, we would have to do KYC, even if we didn't want to. In fact, I think something like this could happen, since the KYC requirements on the most well-known exchanges are becoming more similar every day.

I think that if the time comes when they try to close forums like Bincointalk or this one (which I hope does not happen), the communities as a first solution could try to stay on the Darknet, but I also think that they would be much smaller communities, for fear of a situation such as the closure of forums and the possible "hunting" of users. I mean, I think panic would cause many users to stop participating in the forums. All this makes me think what would happen to X, which is one of the social networks where cryptocurrencies are most talked about... Something tells me that X would not have any problem even if it is not a forum per se.

Respond to users, move threads/posts, explain things about the forum to new users, delete posts... These badges do not encourage or reward spam, they indicate which users have had periods of high activity, since the same level cannot always be maintained. I have the 25 posts in a day badge and I can assure you that it is not spam or meaningless posts. There are also some users (who are not moderators) who were and are also very active without having anything to do with spam.

I think you have been confused with the users in the "zoom 1" group, which are the users that we can see with the red dot on the profile.

I don't think it's due to traffic, although I don't know the load on the server and the database, all the pages load quickly and personally don't have any problems of that type. I have faced that error before, but quite a while ago. Anyway, I'll tell the admin to check this thread and tell us what the problem could be.

Thank you for the report.

Or maybe a cryptocurrency forum? 
They like to mix things, so maybe they will take a break and move on some exchange next.
Now would be the best time to improve security and privacy for any crypto service.

A forum?. Well, to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they point out a cryptocurrency forum one day. The way theymos has acted and managed BTT since January (although logically he made those decisions before) of this year is a telling clue and something that should make all users think about how things could be. And it is something whose solution is not simple.

It is not as easy as "moving" the forum to the Darknet, Tor and .onion is not the solution, since part of the traffic always comes from the clearnet and the "technical" issues, although simple, would make many users decide not to enter to the forum. The (possible) solution would be a decentralized software for forums, something similar to Mastodon (although its servers, called instances, are centralized) but focused on forums, and as far as I know there is no software of that type available.

Sorry, I read this post while checking the thread but forgot to reply to you.

The post you posted may be very simple but the answer is not so simple. Although you can post as you wish, you cannot delete the post here as you wish. To delete post in this forum you have to spend money and after spending money you have to get permission to delete post. I think post editing add new post and delete post all these features should be available to a user so that he can use these features as per his wish.

The beginning of this thread has more information on how to delete posts, it's always more informative to read the entire threads to get a better idea of ​​what we're going to talk about.

There is the option to pay to delete posts, but there is also the ability to send a private message to a moderator with the link to the post the user wants to delete. You can also report the post for deletion by indicating in the comments that it be deleted. The last way I said is usually the fastest since in a short time some moderator will see the report and delete the post.
