What aren't I getting here? In a different new thread in meta, for example, people are being praised for reporting posts.
Yes, for using the report-to-moderator function which helps us locate posts that need handling more quickly.
I have not pm'ed any mod, or used the report button, yet, as I have started this thread.
Sending a PM is usually better, but suit yourself.
hilariousandco and Cyrus have both posted in meta today. I thought they would give me a response. It Looks like no action is being taken at the moment.
Does that mean the posts I have reported here are of an acceptable standard on Bitcointalk?
That does not necessarily have to mean that they have read this thread. They may have read it but are still evaluating the situation. I can't tell you for sure.
Are the rules I quoted out dated?
They are not.
