Stop Redundant Forum Topics

I know you guys are not blind. I know you can see or look if there have already been a similar topic made. Please help keep the quality of the forums above average by not creating more then one topic of the same thing. 

Now lets say you have a completely different perspective, or insight on the same topic. Great! Wonderful! Take that difference, and try Including it in the Topic Title. 

I'm not sure how many topics i saw talking about stake adding doge. . .but it was more then several lol. Moderators should be putting some work into the forum by discouraging this kind of activity and taking necessary moderation actions with repeated offenders and their posts.

It is best to search topics related to the topic we are creating but sometimes it doesnt work as well.

And regarding about the doge topic, i think i saw more than 2 related topics and i think some dont care posting same ones. 

But mods are checking on some of these, merging and even deleting redundant topics.

Yes I did noticed quite a few very similiar topic discussions that has appeared recently too. It would definitely cause clutter to the forum and end up preventing more meaningful discussions from occuring in the long run as its all over the place.

All very good points and i agree , the same topic is boring again and again , we all should make an effort and try to post relevant and interesting topics in chat that people are going to enjoy , as mentioned above use the search icon to see if anyone has already started the same topic.

Mods your also doing a great  job it must be difficult keeping up with a community this size for everything we post so thanks for doing your best too.

It's always better to keep the same topics in the same section but sometimes the person creating the new topic has a whole different opinion on the matter! :)

I've tried to sarcastically allude to this alot but it seems most forum users either didn't notice it or posted a reply within about 5 seconds without understanding my sarcasm in an attempt to get more satoshi for "participating in forums".

What we need is a forum mod who regularly delete redundant/useless threads and thus all the satoshi earned with those. A forum mod who locks extremely old topics to prevent gravedigging, who supervises forum acc bans for bots/phishing accs etc.

Until then, there is nothing anyone can do except limit ourselves to posting only on stuff we feel are worthy of contributing. However, greed will almost always win and most people will still post on useless threads with useless posts about useless nothingness.

It's a dream to expect this form of responsbility to exist in online communities - even lesser to expect from a gambling community, where starting a new thread gives you more rewards than just replying.

The sheer level of face-palming & eye-rolling I have experienced whilst coming across these threads/topics... too much for me to bear sometimes.

You'll get used to it after a while I guess.

 

 

However... I still look forward to

irawk0 - although lots of topics get closed due to this, it means those who have made a valuable post get their satoshi reversed too? I don't think that's a good idea. I have requested the support team that I am happy to help sort out the forums respectively. However, there is no position for that.

They on the other hand do need someone in my honest opinion. So hopefully, in the future, valuable comments will be credited and those who don't write anything useful get their satoshi revoked.

That's why the forum mod filters which posts are valuable and which aren't. If a useless thread had one useful post for example, the thread would simply be locked, and the thread creator (not the valuable poster) will receive infractions. Once you reach 10 infractions you are banned on forums for 1 week for example. Of course a pinned infraction notice would let anyone know of the changes.

Agreed. It's actually part of the guidelines of the forum https://forum.stake.com/topic/969-forum-rules-guidelines/

Before you create a topic, scroll through the sections and see if such a topic has already been created. If you have something to add, then write in it, duplicate topics will be deleted, as they make the forum unorganised and cluttered. You can also use the search option : https://forum.stake.com/topic/2529-how-to-search-the-forums/

 

The title of the topic should reflect the discussion as clearly as possible and shouldn't be written in all caps.

When a mod or support see those redudant topics we merged them, hide or delete it. And if the users repeat the mistake we start giving warning points and eventually mute him for a time or ban him. Most of you don't see it but we ban multiple accounts regularly on forum for different misbehaviors. But we can't see everything, with a community of thousands of users it's hard.

So YOU (the community) can help us by using the "report post" button on the top right of each post/thread to attract our eyes on the problem and we will deal with it in priority ;)

Agreed.

A lot of topics are just being repeated, changing only the title but has the same content/thought.

So people, if you want to have a healthy and prosperous forum community, please, stop this kind of activity. Stake is giving us so much incentives for us to repay them of not following guideline.

Peace. ✌🏽

No I didn't either, I think there needs to be an update to increase the size so that all players can see the report button because before, I wasn't able to see one until now. So hopefully if there is a forum update in the future, please make the report button more displayable so four eyed freaks like me can see it? Thanks anyway!

that’s the report button, the flag emoji.

Agreed. It all starts with the people in the community.

I, myself, admits that I have committed some violations in the past, sometimes a little but very rare in the present (as far as I know). But always learned from them and not do it again for the sake of the communities health, and to somehow be a good example to aspiring forum writers.

We must proactively report posts that doesn't really make any sense so our Moderators can do their thing quickly.

PS: More power to Moderators like Kargai out here. 😎🤘🏽

I warned a lot of users for posting multiple doge topics and merged a few. I'm sure the moderators are doing their best also.

Yea. Kudos to you and the forum Moderators.

Hope people warned are able to understand perfectly. Thanks Dan for the never-tiring reminders.
