Re: MOST COMMON MISTAKES OF A NEWBIE

I think one of them would be assuming how the system works. I'll admit that I've joined a lot of BTC sites not reading the rules. This time I read rules joining this new site.

Which other sites did you join? I've been meaning to get more BTC related sites to join.

Reddit, and Bitcoin Italia. I'm sure that you've heard of these ones. It's not as great as this forum anyway. I'm upset that I hadn't joined earlier.

I haven't heard of the Italian one, but what is the layout like? What are the rules? Are they any similar to this one?

No, not too similar. When I asked for where the rules were, somebody said to go to Meta and click the unofficial ones. One of them said that the moderators can interpret the rules as they wish so it kinda sounds like there's no rules and this site is like a free for all...

Not to say that I like that, but just to say that the fact that Satoshi was actually here is what makes this forum better to me.

Heh, yeah. The rules are completely nonexistent here. I don't think they realize how bad it is to not actually have concrete rules.

Trust me. They definitely realize it. They just want to give moderators the opportunity to possibly abuse any kind of diplomatic community they might have here. I am hoping to find some kind of way to make that list of rules more substantiated than before. If I was to have that opportunity, the rules would really have nothing to do with moderators interpreting it however they please. They themselves would also have to follow cement planted rules.

I'll admit that the unofficial ones are a bit uncomfortable for me but I'd never imply that the moderators break rules.
