You, as well, don't seem to understand what is going on here.AppleMiner wrote:No I think 3Moose totally gets whats going on here.
We are here to mine and make money. Period.
If you don't like the chat boards or the forum posts. Don't log in and don't read them. It won't affect our profit one way or another.
This pool could close the chat and the forums tomorrow if it was any kind of hassle to the profit margins we are all here for and I doubt any of us would bat an eyelid.
Do people even read this forum?
People are asking if there can be forum management, not necessarily from the two brothers, but by volunteers or etc. to weed out the spam, the scams, etc.
Maybe you haven't seen it, but when someone comes into these forums, and spams 20 different random forum threads the exact same information, and in general is a scam someone is trying to get people into, this does not help prohashing or the people on said forum. It only puts them at risk. This thread was brought up i guarantee you because of the massive spam that happened just before it.
This idea that doing "nothing" is better because "we're here to mine and make money" does no one any good, because the forum is here to discuss issues, talk and discuss mining in general. This is a positive for prohashing, not a negative. The forum is not here for people to have to weed out spam and scams.
And it also has nothing to do with "not liking the chat and forums", infact it's the opposite, it's the fact that people like to come here and use this service that people would request it be better moderated.
And "This pool could close the chat and the forums tomorrow" would again not be benefitial to prohasing due to the fact that people have no desire to be part of something with no means of communication.
Better management is for the better of prohashing, simple as that, not a negative like you would like people to believe.
In fact, if you think these forums are so useless, why exactly are you here? Why do you have 71 posts in something so useless you care nothing for? Why did you go through the effort to apply an avatar?
I would say it shouldn't necessarily be necessary that someone who is an admin on the forums be part of the actual business side of the website. Volunteer moderators/admins are generally the norm within a business' forum. Obviously that is up to you guys, but my only point is that you wouldn't necessarily need to pay someone and have out of pocket costs to moderate your forum.Steve Sokolowski wrote:One of the people who has accepted an offer if we decide to expand will be tasked with reviewing the forums to make sure that these [CENSORED] spammers, for example, no longer have a home. We should have more information on that next week.
