I chuckled inside when I read this:

Excessive advertising for dangerous (centralized / scammy) Shitcoins, such like Ripple, Tron or Libra (Facebook)

Admittedly, I don't visit the altcoin section that much, but do people actually advertise coins like the above (with the exception of Libra, which died in the womb)? I'm assuming it's the hyping up of shitcoins that's frowned upon, but do members do that to the point of it being annoying?

Yeah, it's somehow advertising, when someone is opening a new topic where people should recommend "bullish Altcoins". Most of the time, a few constructive posts will show up. Usually the first 10 replies will contain up to 5 contructive answers but after that, the spamposts are piling up, where shitposters are praising useless, centralized shitcoins like Binance Coin or Tron because "tRansAcTioNS aRe cHeAP" over and over again...
Like here: Your Altcoin for December ?

Quick produce some one-liners ad recommend
Tron [1] [2] [3]
Solana [1] [2] [3]
Binance Coin [1] [2] [3]
EOS [1]

Or here: Is TRON dead?

Quickly, the first Tron shill post came up:

Tron is one of the best coin for the short term profit person with huge capital.The Trx will change with minimum waves of oscillation,So it’s easy for the investment on one point.Then we can sell with a decent profit in hand.The price of most of the altcoin was low.Then how you say the tron was dead.

Tron defense shitposters starting at post number 11, 12, 14, 17, 18 ....
It's a bit strange, same bounty campaign where all Tron shills are joined...

Luckily, shitcoin shills have quit their marketing mission in our German section. They were always around to recommend their useless shitcoin bags to newcomers without going too deep into it, why these coins should be bought.
But in Altcoin Discussion / Altcoin Speculation, the most annoying shitposters are very quick to recommend a random centralized shitcoin or defend useless shitcoins when these flawed coins are being called out.

I'm glad you defined "Denglisch", because I had no idea what that is, and the link to the wiki page is all in German (which I can't read).

Oh, sorry. I've missed to remove the German link, when it was copied from our local board.
"Denglish" is, when people are too lazy to translate poperly and are using English words instead, even when theere's a known German translation for.
Same for "Romglish" but native language is Romanian.

I've started seeing too many guides/tutorials made by people who don't know the matter deep enough, hence they're full of mistakes misguiding newbies into making errors.
So I strongly advise those who are unsure about their new topics, add at least a "please tell about the errors so I can update the first post" disclaimer, to avoid harsh replies.

Very good point, I'l add it soon and try to include it into a single point
- researching properly
- correcting errors when detected by other Forum members / via proofreading
I'm not sure if someone would add a disclaimer, some members are even forgetting to link their sources properly or hide them to receive more Merit (when Merit sources are tricked to think all the text is written by OP itself)

So:

Code:

I’m in support of improving posting quality as suggested by 1miau and GazetaBitcoin.

but I say this not as DT, but as user of bitcointalk.

Well, If this is the case. You may want to ask for support from every forum member and not only from the DT network. When someone supports your initiative means he has to improve his posts as well. I support your initiative.

I have to admit that I am guilty of the occasional CROnglish here and there as well. But that's just because I have gotten used to the English terminology so much that certain native words feel like they have been butchered. It sounds like someone forced you to come up with a local translation no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

I support any initiative that makes the forum a better place and improves the posting quality. But I am also afraid that the forum culture is slowly dying and the new generations are all about posting short, grammatically incorrect, meme-filled responses. Many simply don't care.

I've changed my OP from "DT member support" to "community member support". Should be easier to understand now and cause fewer misunderstandings.

We appreciate your support.

Well, time for improvements. Wink

Very true, my impression is especially when some people are saturated in their current signature campaign and are getting their payments week after week, the posting quality is slowly degrading because payments are still coming safely. And when everyone is posting a bit shittier every week, it doesn't even affect your position negatively.
Because every second invested for a more detailed reply is a wasted second.
Proofreading? - No time for that...
I have noticed that trend in our local board and hopefully our campaign can remind everyone to review their posting style.
