So based on outdated members list (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=192825.0), D team was previously based on 3-5 successful reports of users here, or otherwise 10-20 reports of posts via report to mod function.
There are some users (I think they are all teleported) who have been very active reporting spam and AI posts. Give me a few days to look at the information and make a list of their names.
There aren't many, but I don't remember most of them, so I need some time.

Therefore after counting through reports in this section, the following members have been added to D Team: examplens, Learn Bitcoin, Don Pedro Dinero, Igebotz.
Does D. team membership mean something more or is it just a badge as a mark?
It can mean a bonus on token distribution, though not a guarantee. In the past it's been roughly the same as Patron at around 20%.
It can otherwise act as a fast track to becoming a mod, if that's the interest of the member, especially if there are no local languages to represent or specific boards to moderate. Generally as a forum we are a lot more likely to have faith and confidence in a user being a good mod if they have shown good accuracy in reporting, and learn how problems are dealt with. Local language boards are just a different story or trial and error. Or if you're d team member Zed0x you refuse to be a mod and become a senator instead.
Interesting, I didn't know that this is how it works here.

I'd like to add Lucius to the list.
As for now, I think my major contributions to the forum were the notifier bot and the giveaway manager
I'd like to add ABCbits to the list.

It also means a bonus when granting Karma.
Could you please write a little more about it? Does it mean D Team members can grant additional karma to users? I mean, I as a user, cannot send more than one karma to a user within 12 hours. Can a D team member send more than one karma within 12 hours?
I see the D. Team badge as an appreciation because we helped the moderators by reporting users who violated the forum rules. Do we have any special ability to do anything?
....I have no idea about the decentralized team but still thank you. Haha. But i observed i only have "Devs" as my additional group.
....I have no idea about the decentralized team but still thank you. Haha. But i observed i only have "Devs" as my additional group.
Also, "D Team" badge besides on posts can be seen on specific board or it can be seen on any board?
That's because you haven't been added to D team yet :PNow, you mentioned it. I just noticed the badge :P
I noticed recent old mod reports from ABCbits. Wasn't sure how long they had been reporting for, or many reports... but guess you have some idea here.
Now, you mentioned it. I just noticed the badge :P
I don't know how i can make of use of this badge but let's see, i will read threads related to this first. And thanks again :P
No. I expressed myself wrong. What I wanted to say is that members of the decentralized team will receive additional Karma for their contributions and their help to the moderators and the forum in general. In any case, being part of the decentralized team can, in a way, be a catapult for the election of the next moderators. Everything is taken into account.
I apologize for the confusion created.It's fine. Sometimes it happens because I do not understand English well because of the language barrier. But thank you for the clarification.
Make sense. Thank you for the clarification.
I am curious if granting additional karma is an automated process when a D team member reports successful reports or if it's the President, vice president, admin, and moderators who grant the additional karma when they handle the reports. Yeah, dragononcrypto also said the same thing that D. team members will have priority in elections of moderators.

I don't know where the wrong information that some other members mentioned in their posts came from, but it's not about 12 hours, but about 10 hours between the possibility of assigning karma points to the same user. I personally don't bother with that limit in the sense of calculating how much time has passed, simply in case I want to reward a good post (and that's not possible at that moment), I save the link and come back to that post later.
I do not remember where I read that, but I guess it was from a trusted source. Also, Examplens created a thread a couple of days ago where he shared some screenshots showing that he received negative karma every 12 hours. So, I started to feel that karma limitations also depend on rank. For example, only Sr. members and above can send karma, and I assume Sr. members cannot send more than one karma to a user within 12 hours. Probably, the time limit decreases as ranks grow or something. I guess the Staff can confirm.
I don't know the reason for the 12 hours that we have been able to read, maybe the user who sent negative Karma did so with that period of time for some specific reason, but not due to major limitations.It is possible that he was confused by the fact that I wrote that I receive - karma notification after every 12 hours. I did not expect that it could be accepted as an interpretation of the rules. I apologize if I caused confusion ;)

@dragononcrypto, maybe this isn't the right place for it, but I think the criteria for joining the DTeam should be a little stricter, and also that those who haven't contributed to "cleaning up the forum" for a while may lose their place on the team. Otherwise, we could have dozens of team members, only a few of whom will be active.
Moved to D team list, no good reason I had that topic locked, also the context is now just above...
So the three in Hall of Fame I believe should remain, they have been inactive for years, but they are the reason D team exists. They are effectively some of the founding members who were active in 2018/2019 prior to D team being officially established in 2021, and made tonnes of reports (more than any other D team members so far, Zed0X aside I think).
As for the other members, I'll have a look. I'm not sure what we should consider inactive; 3 months, 6 months, a year? Some members will dissappear from time to time for months on end, then reappear (I have done this twice), so there is that to bare in mind. But if D team members could be reinstated easily with return of reporting activity, then that'd also be fine.
Perhaps the most logical thing would be to make an assessment every year and then see if it makes sense for someone to continue being in the DTeam or not.
Congratulations to @DYING_S0UL on joining the team and I wish him many good reports. Given that I have known him with BTT since he was a relative beginner, I think he will be a good member of the team :)
Perhaps the most logical thing would be to make an assessment every year and then see if it makes sense for someone to continue being in the DTeam or not.
We have something similar at AOBT. After a certain period, each member's performance is evaluated. For example, how many translations a person did, whether they contributed in any way, whether they are active or inactive. I mean, all kinds of factors are measured. And since AOBT isn't run by a single person but by a decentralized team of active members, all of us gets to vote. I can't remember exactly, but I think this year 2 or 3 members were removed from the team!
Yes, as you said, a yearly assessment makes sense!
Perhaps the most logical thing would be to make an assessment every year and then see if it makes sense for someone to continue being in the DTeam or not.
And what about someone who was in the past an important reporter with a lot of good reports but decided to stop reporting or became inactive for various reasons? If I understood you correctly are you arguing that such members should have their badges stripped? No, I think it should be permanent, whether they continue to report or not.
Isn't the AOBT thing a self volunteer service or is there any financial benefits attached?
There aren't any financial benefits! But of course, we do paid translations! If anyone wants us to translate their project or collaborate, then they can make us an offer.Speaking of this, why don't you have ANN on altcoinstalks as well?
Check out our ANN for more information: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5442314.0 :)

Ok, not all translators are present on this forum, but a few representatives are enough.
Another concern I have is whether the admin will be ok with our ANN, because all of the links redirect to Bitcointalk.Btt and Altt are not in competition with each other. It won't be the first time that a thread has been linked here, and I believe it's definitely a good thing for the altcoinstalks forum to have another backlink from the Btt forum.
It's called [AOBT] The Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators, not altcoinstalks translators! I assume you understood what I meant!

Do not completely copy/paste ANN, maybe make changes and link active users on this forum to their profiles from Altt
They will have to change the title to "Altcointalk" that's the only way such thread would survive here I guess.

@Igebotz, it's not about survival. You can't just expect us to change our name because we are trying to involve ourselves in a different forum! Anyway, which 3 members? As far as I am aware, one is me, 2nd is Hatchy and the 3rd one is r_victory.
Anyway, I'll ask porf whether I can post the ANN here!
(Sorry if I went off topic!)
Those are the 3 members I've seen too, the Hatch guy is from my local and did several translation on the local board although when I was made a mod and given some thread to translate he was nowhere to be found. Lol did it myself.
Don't you think you need permission from your Porfirii before make an ANN- you never know.
...

Don't go off-topic here anymore with the translation discussion. I'm sure that no one will mind if you open a new topic for discussion about it.
I'm fine if you refrain from replying to this post. :)
You must have correctly reported at least 5-10 spammers, plagiarists, multi-accounts or other misbehaving users within this section.Sorry to bother you but I got a question, anyone who meet those criteria will become part of Dteam by default or do they have to report to admin or here to make it?
Or you must have correctly reported at least 10-20 posts that were spam, contained ref links, in the wrong section, etc.
I think dragononcrypto explained this well. A member will not be added to the list if he has reported spam, plagiarism, etc. once or twice... But if he does it more than (not to say) accidentally, then it is practically obvious that there is an effort in the fight against such undesirable behaviour.You must have correctly reported at least 5-10 spammers, plagiarists, multi-accounts or other misbehaving users within this section.Sorry to bother you but I got a question, anyone who meet those criteria will become part of Dteam by default or do they have to report to admin or here to make it?

This isn't correct, you don't become part of D team by default if you are a mod. You only become a member if President or an ex-president adds you to this membership group, based on the current criteria.
~Very grateful for what Freemind has given me. Generally I just try give my best in this forum.
Welcome to the team and thanks for your efforts.
You already have your D.Team badge.

After reviewing all (I counted 6, but I have not reviewed all the boards) the reports that the user @enwi has posted, it is time to welcome him to the D.Team.
Welcome to the team and thanks for your efforts.
You already have your D.Team badge.
I wasn't able to make any good reports for some time due to medical reasons. I'm trying to overcome the situation first! Keep me in your prayers so that I can come back again like before! :)I guess you should take your time and focus on your health first — that’s what matters most. Wishing you a smooth recovery, cheering for your comeback whenever you're ready.
My question to the President : why is enwi profile showing the DTeam badge and also "decentralized team" custom title? That's quite different from others.

Just noticed it. It's looks cool though. Kinda similar to custom title from BTT. Wish I had one like enwi ::)
Have updated list with new changes :)
I think it happens because of your connection problem, I open here all the images appear smoothly.Have updated list with new changes :)
Dear enthusias,
What changes were made? I don't see any difference.
Anyway one thing I noticed is that, when you visit this topic from mobile devices, the images (wall of fame) doesn't show up for some reason. It simply doesn't load. Works fine on desktop btw.
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/03/18/0gwDT.jpeg)
I figured it out, it seems you are facing bad connection issues or something is wrong with the connection that didn’t allow you to see through the images and it was blank and didn’t load. I guess maybe you should try it out again cause I can see through the images clearly on my mobile devices.Have updated list with new changes :)

Thank you, Freemind! It's been an honour to be a part of Decentralised Team.
I am looking forward to contribute and continue my support to maintain the integrity of the forum space by reporting the abusers, spammers, etc.
~snip~
Btw, I had a question to Freemind! A few days ago, we saw that enwi had the custom title written in his profile. Later I noticed that I also had the same thing. Recently the custom title from my profile is gone but as for our new member Findingnemo, he now has the custom title! I mean what is happening here! :P

Well now that you mention it you're right and I don't know what the reason could have been. I'm going to do what I did last time to see if it works again and this time it's permanent.
Well, yes, it worked. I'll ask the administrator if he knows what could have happened.
Becoming part of the Decentraized Team
- You must have correctly reported at least 10-20 spammers, plagiarists, multi-accounts or other misbehaving users within this section.
- Or you must have correctly reported at least 20-40 posts that were spam, contained ref links, in the wrong section, etc.
- You must have been active recently on the forum as well reporting users within the decentralized team section.
- Inactive users with exceptional reporting history are categorized as part of the Hall of Fame.
- If you believe you fulfill the reporting criteria above, feel free to post in this thread for a review.
Members that have failed to reach these new requirements will also be considered for removal, or otherwise transferred to the Hall of Fame if applicable. So for example, if you joined D team recently with 5-10 users reported, you will risk being removed if you do not reach 10-20 users reported by the end of the year.
I hope users and members can find this a fair compromise, in order to increase the desired reporting levels of D team members, that should be relatively high already.

Does this new changes affects local mods too? ( Who are DTeam by default)
And would there be some kind of badge for the Hall of fame members?

This statement of yours is wrong. Mods aren't by default part of the D.Team. You can only became D.Team member when the president or the ex-president manually adds you to the team, after evaluating your reports. Being a mod has nothing to do with being a D.Team member.
Urdu - Local Moderator: Themepen isn't D.Team member!
Arabic - Local Moderators: yhiaali3, hugeblack aren't D.Team members!
Italian - Local Moderator: babo isn't D.Team member!
And so on, if you look carefully.... ;)

Removed Don Pedro Dinero. ~12 months of inactivity. Not due for Hall of Fame.Maybe it wouldn't be bad if, in the second post of this thread, you have some kind of changelog, where you will write changes like this. If anyone wants to get such information, at least everything will be in one place. In the middle of a multipage thread, it is not easy to find specific information.

Thanks, that was quick.
I've read replies on this thread and some threads on "Decentralized Team" board, but is there anything else i should know?
Congrats to enwi on becoming our first D mod (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=329528.0). We are currently still testing implementation and this is our first promotion to the role so far, with more candidates expected for approval in the near future.Thank you for choosing me in the first implementation test, This is something very new and an honor for me, There is still a lot of knowledge here that must be understood well.
Unlike applying for Jnr Mod, the bar is set a lot higher for D mods and involves full reporting/moderating review, a challenging "no softballs" interview, scrutiny from Presidents Committee, and ultimately approval or rejection from President Freemind. We are also still awaiting further technical implementations, such as membergroup/badges/etc, but as of now D mods can now issue warnings as intended :)
Please don't bother asking whether it'll be a separate membergroup, different badge, or otherwise, as that is all a work in progress with admin at the moment. What will be implemented for now will likely be the most simple and stable option, at least until more of the technicals can be figured out (which is the most important part, ie access to mod log, center, and section, etc). Otherwise (before someone asks) yes I will update the OP with new list of D mods once we have processed the remaining candidates.
We are not currently taking any new applications for the role, hence the D mod topic remains closed for now. If as a candidate you have not received approval or rejection confirmation, it's because we are still processing your application, so please remain patient. You will be contacted in due course, thank you.
Thank you for choosing me in the first implementation test, This is something very new and an honor for me, There is still a lot of knowledge here that must be understood well.
We are still very much in the beta phase of D mod, but hopefully admin can iron things out over time.I just wanted to let you know that I now have access to this icon.

And yeah, the ability to issue warnings to a user as well as the access to warning logs means that my Dmod response is accepted?

Thank you for accepting me into the gang. :)
Regarding mod guidelines and instructions, I had some questions. The things we were doing before becoming the D. mod, we are to continue doing that right? I meant reporting shillers, spammers, AI posters + and along with the new responsibilities that we are now given, like issuing warning?!
I have read the rules but obviously it would take time to adjust!
