If your replies are new informations about yout service, it's OK.
But replies with "up" or repetitive content are not allowed

Is there any way of tracking reports that have been sent? Basically whether anything has been done about the posts if the moderators agree, or if the report was rejected? I can't find anything regarding reports that I've sent. If I knew whether I was correct in sending the reports, I would have more of an idea on what to report in the future. I think it would help to improve the forum overall if the member sending the reports could see some sort of feedback on reports they sent.

Hello there I have question regarding those post on the bounty section with twitter link and facebook link for their campaign? Are that considered as low quality posts?

I like the idea of penalizing those spammer with reducing post count or rank. But how the system will be updated just like that? For example a Senior member rank which posts shitty post penalize for doing it. He will just become Full member rank?

On my opinion. Grounds for spamming especially those were mentioned on the OP should received big penalties, so next time they wouldn't just write and will think first. The system here is quite good as there no boundaries on posting provided that it is not a shitty one. For me this is the way it should be.

Okay thanks for the clarification. I just noticed points are restricted on 3 points added if new topic is posted and 1 point for reply comment. What is the highest point awarded here considering the post of a member is outstanding and beyond expectations?

Hello admin,
I am a Vietnamese. I joined this forum for the purpose of tracking and discussing the news to the crypto community. However, I find that many people are using the local language box to spam to help them increase their rankings for signature campaigns. Here is an example. Can you have a good solution to limit this? When you go to a discussion box, do you see news or repetitive topics that annoy you?

I agree with this but can we also consider that there are those who do nor speak English very well. They like to participate but instead of using Google translate, they copy the most written phrase on the thread. Another thing is, some projects require making a short post to confirm involvement, how will that affect such persons? Thank you.

They only use copy/paste to boost their ranking. I have a topic on Vietnamese section about palagiarism content, hope local admin will have resolution for that.

I joined altcointalk for a long time and I know what I'm doing in this. I'm not good at speaking english so I choose the local section to post. At that time, very few Vietnamese knew Altcointalks so I looked at how local administrators posted and I followed him. What did I do wrong with what the local administrator did? I use the "search" function before posting a post. Look at the picture and look at the time. OK. If I'm wrong, punish me.

As I see, this is discussion box. And my topic is about discussion topic. Maybe pokxon does not check my topic, It already has. This is not big problem, In bct have more duplicate topic. Mod should work harder to remove it.

take a deep look at both posts, your post is not original and you did not mention the resource. This is considered as palagiarism. With pokxon, I think he have followed the rules

Maybe he forgot this. We may consider his case. I talked to him about this issue.

Good thinking. I'd also like to recommend that there be a minimum karma level at some point soon to rank up. Although there is no real benefit to ranking up, it'd be nice to have an incentive to become a Sr member and above, rather than just by posting a lot. Starting with the idea of having Jr Members requiring neutral karma (which is similar to idea of for airdrops/withdrawals requiring 0 karma anyway) followed by Sr and above requiring a small amount of karma. For me, someone isn't a Jr Member if they have negative karma, they are more likely a spammer. This is so that someone Sr has at least contributed something worthwhile (rather than just a lot of posts), while Hero and above needing to contribute "enough" for said rank.

For example:
Jr Member: 0 karma
Sr Member: 1 karma
Hero Member: X karma
Legendary Member: X karma.

I realise this might be a controversial proposal to some, as BTT has the Merit system, but please remember that the main failure of this system is the bar is set so high (100 for full member for example). I'd therefore suggest a very low karma minimum requirement level, as an experiment.
It'd be nice to hear people's thoughts on this issue.

Altcoinstalk  Forum is relatively new and still trying to get members to come in, so I don't think your idea will help achieve this aim. That is not to say that shitty and useless post should be allowed. But like the solution proferred by the admin, shitty post = point loss will make people sit up and think about what they post before posting.
