I appreciate the effort, but let's cut to the chase. Your "investing vs trading" dichotomy oversimplifies a complex landscape. Trading and investing are not mutually exclusive; they're complementary strategies that require different skill sets. Trading is for those who can navigate high-frequency market fluctuations, while investing is for those with a more patient, long-term perspective.

Your DCA method might work for some, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. What works for you may not work for others. I'd love to see more nuance in your approach before offering advice.

Wow, I'm impressed by your ability to read between the lines. You think I'm just a newbie trying to hide behind my account age? Flash news: I've been around long enough to know what's going on in this community.

You want me to combine all the problems into one thread? That sounds like a great idea. But pictures the chaos that could ensue of trying to discuss hundred different issues into one place. And as for historical purposes, yeah, I get it. Some boards have served their purpose in the past. But why not retire them with dignity by making them archival childboards?

I'm getting a little tired of the constant sidetracking in this thread. It seems like some members have a hard time staying focused on the original topic. Instead of engaging in meaningful discussions and sharing their thoughts on the original thread, they'd rather spend their time rambling about something else that isn't really on-topic. For example, I've noticed some members on thread I've created has decided to veer off-topic and discuss AI-generated content.

I'm not asking for anyone to police each other or anything dramatic like that. But let's just try to keep the discussion from devolving into a circus.

You can't stop people from sending merits to those who don't deserve them. If someone wants to enable @Hvdv's bad behavior, there's nothing you can do. You're just mad because you received some neutral tag.

Here's the thing: some of you are too lazy to even bother copy-pasting URLs, and that's actually good news for all of us. I mean, if you're too lazy to take 2 seconds to copy-paste a URL, then maybe you wouldn't be scammed.

So why don't admin just update the simple rule: newbies can post URLs tags, but only if they've got Copper Membership? Problem solved. No more whining from me about hacker using newbie account to share dangerous URL with URL tag, and no more "but it's not fair to the rest of us".

I'm impressed. You think you're so clever by trying to deflect the problem by talking I'm using AI? Please, spare us the drama. The fact remains that we have hundreds of sub-boards and it's time for some serious pruning.

By the way, I've actually visited the Goods board and its child boards before, and I can tell you that there are indeed auction threads in there. So, stop trying to spin this as if it's a non-issue.

Common sense dictates that copying and pasting someone's work without acknowledging it is, in fact, plagiarism. It doesn't matter how you spin it or try to justify it with disclaimers. The definition of plagiarism is clear: taking someone else's words, ideas, or work and passing them off as your own without proper credit.

By the way, you showed an obvious example of NOT plagiarism. Kudos on that. So, let me ask you: are you genuinely interested in having a constructive discussion, or are you just looking for ways to stir up trouble?

We all know how Legendary feels about AI usage. In fact, they've made it pretty clear that using AI while mentioning it's usage is perfectly acceptable. So, I'm calling the whole point of this thread is kinda pointless.

There's no definition of "worldly" because it's a subjective term that changes depending on who's using it and what agenda they're pushing. If you can't see that, then maybe you should be the one seeking clarity from an expert - not wasting our time with your half-baked thoughts. And by the way, I'm sure the "lively discussion" this thread will spark is just a bunch of armchair quarterbacks throwing around their 2 cents without any actual substance.

I have to say,  I'm fed up with the sheer quantity of sub-boards on this site. Hundreds? Are you guys serious? It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but the needle is on fire and the hay is being blown away by a hurricane.

Take, for instance, the "Meetups" board. I mean, scroll a bit and the last thread on that board dates back to 'April 28, 2024, 08:53:45 AM' - it's starting to feel like a ghost town. And don't even get me started on the "Investor-based games" board. Either nobody cares, or nobody remembers it exists.

And what's with all these overlapping boards? For example, can we please just merge the "Auction" one into "Goods"? It's not like it's getting any use anyway. We've got multiple solutions to a non-existent problem. If nobody posts in an auction thread, maybe it's time to scrap it altogether.

Before you start throwing pitchforks, let me ask: are we really adding value with all these boards, or are we just creating more trash? But hey, what do I know? I'll just sit here and watch as we continue to accumulate dust.

LOL @ THIS WHOLE THREAD

i'm calling BS from the get-go. someone's trying to stir up drama and i'm not buying it

the "evidence" being presented is laughable . a disposable account and some bonus abuse = instant guilty? please

and don't even get me started on the "accusations" against bitcointalk . are you guys seriously expecting us to believe that they're somehow complicit in this whole mess?

Really? I mean, come on. I already showed in this thread and proved that newbie or everyone can posts URL without URL tags if you actually bothered to read it (which let's be real, most of you didn't).

I guess its true hackers can use higher ranking accounts... but good luck to them for getting such account. It takes way more effort than just filling a form and clicking a few buttons.

Oh, and btw, don't even get me started on the "newbie jail" nonsense. Like, newbies can't post images anyway, so it's not like restricting them is going to make a difference.

We can use the text to share URL. Using that can prevent many of the issues you mention. If someone insists on visiting  harmful link using text, they should manually copy and paste them directly,

It's disheartening to see “What we do on here” as a refusal to improve rather than a genuine effort to make things better. And while I understand your perspective, your posts have come across more like an attempt to shut down any form of constructive debate.

The chart is useless when you don’t know if prices are going up or down, just because they’re constantly fluctuating doesn't mean they’ll always rise.

And for those who only talk about AI, I totally get it. You want to talk tech? Whatever. But try not to focus too much on me using AI. How about we just stick to discussing Bitcoin price fluctuations without you just jumping off topic.

SeriousIssues, I must say your thread is a bit too vague for me. It's like you're pointing fingers at everyone without actually addressing the root cause. Who would take you seriously when you posted suspicious URLs that were removed by this forum? Do you you another newbie accounts that reported on 'Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action !' [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182222.0]?

You've also mentioned that members are "begging for some merits" and posting only in gambling forums, which is a disgusting generalization. Instead of pointing fingers, why not try to understand the motivation behind members' behavior? Perhaps their enthusiasm for Bitcoin isn't just about ranking and merits but includes genuine interest in gambling.

And let's talk about those signature campaigns, which you seem to criticize so harshly. Are they actually 'looting' (stealing) money or just legitimate ways for members to earn some extra cash? Again, I'd prefer a bit more evidence than opinions.

I'm writing this to bring attention to the growing issue of newbie accounts creating dangerous URLs that spread malware or harmful content. This is becoming a serious problem as we can see from threads such as 'This Free Amazon Giftcards Method spammers. '[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5510499.0] and 'Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action !' [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182222.0]  with 82 pages, which highlights the prevalence of the problem.

These hackers create accounts without any verification. They then use URLs containing malware links to post harmful content on our forum. This type of activity is not only annoying but also poses a significant threat to everyone involved. On a healthy forum, user should never be compelled to write threads complaining about URL spam.

In conclusion, it’s concerning that newbie accounts still have unrestricted access to using URLs tags. The forum needs stricter policies by disallowing newbies from using URLs tags to prevent this kind of abuse and ensure a healthy environment for all users.

Wow, that's quite a bit of drama you're going through with your alleged "suspected account"! What's the point in keeping all this stuff under wraps and stirring up drama when you could actually do something constructive? It's easy to say "We should address it before it gets worse," but what about your actual actions lately?

It’s like when someone is going through a breakup and claims they're just moving on. They might be, but if their behavior hasn't changed, that's still a breakup in disguise. I bet you'd do better than to keep trying to avoid responsibility.

Sure, it's good that you want to maintain the integrity of your system and try to spot suspicious accounts before they grow worse. But why make it look like you're just avoiding your problems? It’s one thing if you genuinely don’t care, but pretending not to is childish behavior.

Regarding the issue of username resetting, I believe it would be beneficial to have an option for members to modify their handles at will. It's not often we see "A" become "B", is it? But hey, if one day a thread goes awry and you find yourself needing a fresh start... well, that's just the nature of the internet isn't it?

On another note, wouldn't it be interesting to have a backend system that records all username changes? It could serve as a useful historical artifact, much like an old diary. Just imagine your username evolving over time, each change telling a story about who you are and what stage of life you're in!

However, it's important to note that while the internet offers a great deal of freedom in this regard, there can be unforeseen consequences. For instance, if someone changes their handle frequently without any valid reason, it could lead to confusion and may even damage their credibility.

I'm intrigued by Bitcoin, but I have to admit, it's got me a bit worried. Every day seems like there are new speculations about its price. It makes me wonder how such a system can possibly work well for daily usage when it feels more like a game.

So you're saying that my Bitcoin wallet could end up being lighter or heavier because of its fluctuating prices? It sounds like an absolute rollercoaster ride! And I'm not alone in feeling this way, some people are questioning whether or not they should use or invest in Bitcoin at all.

I guess the point is, I'd be unhappy buying pizza with Bitcoin and then later seeing the price increase as well... it doesn’t seem quite practical or secure to invest in something whose value keeps changing so dramatically.
