Discussion about Altcoins Talks Shop

[examplens]

2- These points, and even the karma (if you wish) > can be withdrawn in tokens > i will send you the tokens to your bsc wallet

-snip-

What happens to the points and karma after a user withdraws it?

For example, I have like 50 karma and some thousands points, so If I wished to withdraw it, will it reset to zero or will the 50 karma and the existing points still show on my profile as it showed before?

The conversion of karma points to forum tokens should be at least temporarily suspended.

A discussion was recently held in the forum senate about the possible inclusion of karma points in the ranking system. It is still in the process of discussion, and at some point, it will appear open to all forum members.

If this were to be adopted and at some point implemented, karma points would be needed for the rank upgrade, so it should not be possible to trade them.

I guess this is the moment that I share the link for this proposal: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=326311.0

This should be promoted more to get more responses from forum users. I already suggested that the admin might add to the news section instead of Vote for Senators.

Technically, it's not news though, it's just a proposal for now. Under the pre-title of "Latest proposal" would make more sense though I think. But this is just semantics.

No doubt admin doesn't want to "panic" users by suggesting that karma requirements could be implemented etc (I know him too well). The "if I were President" line is that I would have added it already (but that's not my call to make anymore, nor do I want it to be). It might therefore be better to ask Freemind to do this, as someone with the executive power to update. I'm not suggesting skirting admin's authority here, only testing the boundaries, as he can always change/remove if disagrees etc. I see it as the same as when I update his topics with new links and info; he can obviously undo if disagrees with the updates etc, and has done so before even if rarely (which doesn't discourage me either).

Otherwise maybe the poll can just play out until the end of the month as it is. Even if only has twice as many votes by then, it'd reflect the active users most engaged with the forum itself (ie those who post in forum related sections). The only real issue so far is representation. At present, it reflects the users most actively engaged in the community, not the wider community as a whole. By adding a link to the top right corner, as you suggested, the poll would at least better represent all active users of the forum as a whole. Ideally we'd have a sample poll of 50-100 of the most active users, even if that sound optimistic, and better visibility is the only way this would be achieved. Aside from translations to others languages (specifially Russian).

Here, we always deal with technical matters rather than substance. The potential change of the ranking system on the forum is news. As far as I have noticed, the admin did not really enthusiastically accept the karma-rank proposal, precisely because of this the discussion should be highlighted in order to get the opinion of as many members as possible.

This is mainly just me I think, but in fairness, the technicals in this case is actually quite relevant to the substance 

The potential change of the ranking system on the forum is news.

Just because some washed up president made a proposal, I don't think you can call this news. News would be like: "New karma requirements effective from 03/24".

"not really enthusiastically" is certainly a polite way to put it, I commend you on your senator-like use of language 

But sure, I'm not disagreeing with you here, instead I concur overall. There definitely should be more visibility to the topic precisely because admin is fundamentally opposed to the proposal, in it's majority, and because at present it's not failing miserably from the outset. Instead it seems to be holding up well to scrutiny with support, so it'd be worth testing if that support is more broadly held by the wider community, rather than those most engaged with the forum. Our president is otherwise requesting that admin grant some further visibility as you requested, but whether that happens or not is another story.

Over all, I find the ability for users to pay for some special features on this forum a good thing, as it will help the forum (directly or indirectly) generate funds so as to keep improving the forum and also build more features, services and products, and also marketing as well, but  I am suggesting that the admin review the features that are to be paid for, some of the features currently listed are supposed to be basic features that should require no payment to access or be used.

I agree with this view. I came to this agreement after reading about the new shop.

At first I thought the shop was about buying and selling general goods and services like a laptop ot something else but when I found out it is just for "badges""rankings"and features on the forum I was disappointed.

Personally I'm not here on the forum to grow my profile necessarily and badges dont motivate me but I do see the merit of the shop in generating interest and revenue because most people are highly motivated by rank and badges.

Why would you ever think about buying laptop or other physical items from this and any other forum? 
It's not unusual to see forums selling advertising space and special ranking, we have that in Bitcointalk forum for a while and it worked great.
What I dont like here is having fixed dollar value instead of fixed token value, and price can easily be manipulated.
