I agree with the decision regarding giveaway threads because such threads will absurd the prosperity of this forum and it should be the responsibility of all members on this forum to try to avoid such threads by not posting/replying to such threads to discourage the people who post these threads.
No one can benefit himself/herself by offering incentives to members for post/replying on their threads.

I agree with the decision, please, the point of the Alt Coin section of Bitcointalk was so that you could have basic conversation about whatever coins you wanted here

 Punishing the thread starter is fair enough but punishing people that reply is not fair because some giveaway offers could be very tempting, if you dont see it you will not take it.

Hello,
I wanted to clarify this before I post - am I able to post a promotion/giveaway link in this thread which links to a Steemit post to bring awareness to an altcoin?

Because some moron(s) stole the money that was supposed to fund the new version of Bitcointalk.

I remember very clearly back in 2014 ( even though i forgot which thread i read that in ) that a lot of money was donated for the very purpose of improving Bitcointalk UI/UX.

We're talking about at least $1,000,000 worth of Bitcoin back when that money was donated, so after deflation one could assume that this number might easily be 10x higher by now.

Worst thing is, time i checked, no one was ever held accountable for that theft, and Bitcointalk still looks like it was stuck in 2008.


Don't get me wrong, i'm a nostalgic, i like SMF/PHP boards, but a lot of money was definitely stolen from this community, this is not Ok and something should be done about it.
Edit there seems to be a beta version of Bitcointalk 2.0 but it is terrible and looks like garbage so i assume this must be some kind of joke https://beta.bitcointalk.org



Ps : Banning giveaway thread is a moronic decision and i'll be vocal about it until the day i die, so please create a subforum for these otherwise i'll have to take this matter into my own hands.

Giveaway threads are not allowed, dont understand why most of the marketing is based on give away based , more over what is wrong is rewarding someone for their  task , any how if it is rule of form  it is separate thing and must be obeyed

Again monitoring and simply locking dead giveaways would be better solution to this problem that straight up banning them all

So how would I give out or announce bounty and airdrops then?
