And with regards to the off-topic posts, local board [Philippines] does not have any sub-section hence there is no rule that forbids people from posting altcoins related posts, posts about the forum (usually found in Meta), and any other posts not related to Bitcoin.

They are not off-topic. These locked posts are all about for the betterment of the forum, history/ people behind cryptocurrency, reminders etc. What are the factors that makes these post considered as off-topic? Roll Eyes

Maybe we can keep these threads open if there will be a sub section on our local where we can discuss forum matters?

I think our local section itself is enough since there is a Marketplace and Beginners and Help outside our local section. The only thing this we need to do for them is to help them understand what is really happening in the forum in the language they can also understand, this is also to avoid spamming/ posting in some serious sections in which they can't fully understand. It will just be another workload for our mods.

I think the main sub-board should not be exclusively about Bitcoin, finance or crypto, but also include anything related to this forums. Because it doesn't make sense to me when you are not allowed to post and discuss this forum in general (anything about merits, a guide to get merits and etc, especially if you don't understand English) in your own local board. I believe this is the reason why the Local board is created.

I absolutely agree with this. Not every Filipino have the capability of understanding a different language especially English because most of them have a language barrier. Sometimes I think that it is better to not create a new topic with such quality because I am expecting that it will be locked later on.

As I have observed in our local forum, low- rank members are now posting senseful contents which I think that they have been inspired by theyoungmillionaire, Silent26 (you), finaleshot because of their posting strategy. In effect, many quality posters are now making their move to initiate progress and to maintain the quality of the forum. But sadly, locking useful topics creates a neverending spoonfeeding among new members.

[Suggestion]
What if instead of locking a thread utilizing self-moderated topic is a very useful one. So that the OP will choose which replies that needs to be deleted, we can also reduce the spam posts. Less work for mods.

I've checked your Local Board and I realize there is no index thread for "good topics" (or did I miss it?). I think creating an index will be useful to make sure Philippines members can still access it or know that such threads exist, just like what we have in Indonesian board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2979183.0). Every member can suggest which thread should be added to that list, and the OP (probably mod?) can add it to the list. Mod can pin this index thread so it will stay in the first page.

Are you saying that this is a master list of all topics which are really useful? This is a good suggestion but it will need a lot of agreement in order to consider creating this topic. Do you have a mandate from mods before you created this topic?

Just four more good topics and anyone might think that I'm applying for Merit Source.

Good luck along with crwth.
