How can we encourage posting here.

[Findingnemo]

How about granting Karma to whoever is being active and giving their efforts?

This is also a good view because it encourages us newbies. I check my profile every time to see if my karma has increased or if I have had a response to anything I have posted, whether it is a correction or one of my well-written contribution.

+1 for you cause you made valid point.

Lately, people seem to have forgotten about Karma system or they just only giving it to the people they knew instead of it's actual purpose which may lead to the worsening of the system in the long term.

Already suggested making the Karma logs public can mitigate by many but still it may not be on the priority of admin's to do list considering the evolving stage of forum.

There is a reduction in the number of engaging posts in the forum and on our local board, not only because the incentive for some Nigerians to be active no longer exists but also because there is a reluctance to start engaging topics. Our ability to create engaging topics will create more engagement and traffic in this forum and on our local board, which will benefit us all because there will be more people to learn from. What do you think about this? How can we boost discussions here?

Some steps can be taken to increase discussion in forums and local boards:
 👉Create engaging content.
 👉Providing incentives.
 👉Activity development.
👉 Promotion and Marketing.
 👉Question and Answer Session.
 👉Platform Improvement.
 These steps will help increase discussion and can make users more active.

What do you mean by no longer exists? Did it exist before because I am not aware of any. Most members are not able to give time on both forums maybe that's why we are seeing a reduction in the members and posts here. Creating new topics will create more engagement and open ideas to new topics too.

We can boost discussion by creating good and up-to-date topics about which everyone wants to discuss and share their opinions. If members are not engaging then we can't really do anything its their type of interest if they are here to make money only then they won't be active unless they are making but if they are here to learn and help others learn then they will be active and if their is any other issue than these then we should solve that.

To keep local members alive and actively posting on this forum, is to trigger them by creating topics that are easy to discuss... that could be a trigger for some more members to be active, considering that many people are starting to get bored with outdated topics... I also realized this, regarding the decreasing interest of users to post on local boards (because I am Indonesian, so I judge it on the Indonesian board)... some people may start leaving the forum because they give up after failing to make money from cryptocurrency here.. or maybe for some reason that I don't know.

the point is, to keep them active, we also have to often give them karma like @findingnemo said. appreciating their activity at least makes them not feel sorry when writing something on this forum.

Yes, although for some months now, there have been active engagement in discussion on this forum compare to years back when there was no much incentives and signature  campaign but now that many signature promotion have been launched here, it has motivated some member to at least make some good number of post every day.

I won't really say there is a reduction in posts of this forum.  To say there is reduction of posts or post quality on the forum then you mean that post quality is been high before now and is been dropping significantly since then. However I really don't see that as the case. The problem most of us make is thinking this place like bitcoin talk and the truth is this forum hasn't gotten to the level of bitcoin talk .
Altcoins talk is still a growing community and therefore you don't expect post quality to doing up to a huge value with the blink of an eye rather it will take some time for quality posts to come up here over time and I guess that is already happening.

i really don’t want to compare the two forums because i do think both have their own unique strengths and limitations it is no secret though that bitcointalk has the most activities and engagements even though it might have gone a bit less in recent weeks

i like that in altcoinstalk there’s a lot of spaces to talk about many things with not much restrictions compared to bitcointalk i am sure our community will still grow i just hope it does not change for worse

[Mia Chloe]

You want the truth or a silver-coated one?
I am just sticking with the truth people stop posting when there is no incentive for them so give them a slot in a signature campaign and see their activity, will be making posts constantly.

Seems I've been saying alot about karma lately or is the post I come across the reason for my replies talking about karma? Well let's just say many persons on this forum are not satisfied about how the karma setup is on the forum. Some persons are of the opinion that it isn't transparent enough while some believe that karma circulation is kinda stagnant and quality posts aren't getting enough.
Infact it's even impossible to tell which and which posts are getting karma even to the person receiving it. So many topics have been raised previously about karma but there hasn't been adjustments so far so I guess it's on the waitlist.

Things will take time, already admin said he is working on something that make which posts got the Karma but not the user who issued it which is obviously a welcomed feature and can avoid some of the dramas going around the things. We used to the merit system but this is different and making karma not for public has some merits too which is the same reason to stop spreading the hatred or people will go on for spree against whoever gave them that will create lot of dispute.

I think that you will be create an excellent topic here. Besides you told for improve all users account to give karma. So i am also agree with you. We believe that if we want to increase our members, so it’s the best valuable decision for our forum. But we also see that our altcoin members couldn’t very conscious for this matter. I think gradually we should increase our members. So we must be encourage there, if we can give karma for there beautiful post, then they will be encourage to our forum. So we should be conscious for this matter.
