Re: Ask a Legendary Member whatever you need to know about the forum
I've noticed a site called bitcointalk(dot)to. Is this a phishing site?
Yes, it is, be careful, and never enter to the site. They want you to put your bitcointalk account name and password, and I suspect they have already hacked many.Hi,
1. I want to know if there any planned changes to how the forum operates, with the introduction of new rules and regulations? If such rules are introduced
where are we supposed to look for them?
2. Is there any practice in place for forum cleanups? That is to handle dead/inactive accounts, farmed accounts and such? I speak of accounts already in existence. The merit system effectively aims to do the same in future but what about accounts that have already been established without any standard before the merit system was introduced?
3. Is it going against the rule to ask a question which would discuss maybe a disadvantage( possible issue) associated with Bitcoin? I had a post as such and never received any response for the question posted! Is there any unspoken rule with regard to this in Bitcointalk?
Thank you
1. There is in developing a whole new forum, this one is supposed to move to it eventually. You can check all this in Bitcoin Forum > Other > Meta > New forum software.1.

Regarding the rules, you will need to be active on the Meta board. In there, all the new implementations are posted by Theymos, and the discussion regarding the probable ones are always happening on this board. So be sure of take a look at it as much as you can
2. The accounts that have been in inactive from the last year are automatically blocked in order to avoid hacking, I think. The only cleaning tool we have is the report to moderator button in case of fraudulent activities, as well as the Scam accusations board; well, on the Meta board you can also find some good threads regarding farming, plagiarism, etc. If you think someone is breaking the rules you can search for some related posts in meta or in scam accusations or reputation (Now I'm replying to you I realize how many boards we have to report bad ones!!
)3. Ummm I don't think so, this is a free place and you can discuss/think as you wish. Do not take too personal when a thread of yours doesn't have any reply's, it happens to me too, maybe there was nobody interested in that very moment, or maybe there were just too many threads at the time, so the one from yours just disappeared fast. I get it is kind of annoying, but happens to everyone!
