hai hai lol, tenkyu for the welcome <3

i mean, the community is alright, it has a “warn” system which would be similar as localmonero’s traders reputation system, it goes from 0% to 100% by 10% increments, it takes a lot and lots of actual shitposting just to get to the first 10% tbh
and if scamming then getting those “forum golds (fg): locked / scammer”

like, on the monero thread from 2023, got trolled a lil bit u know (mofo had 20% warn and nowadays 60% lmao)
but i also lost my chill here and there, like, those gamer dudes can just be really obnoxious you know lol, but even then, i just got the temp bans for like 10mins / 30mins / 45mins for probably a dozen times at least, but no warn increase, still stayed at 0% warn and also it still gives the reasons like “innapropiate thing or whatever” cause i posted a meme that was a dildo for “what people think bitcoin is” and a tree branch or something for “what people actually get with bitcoin” or something along those lines

like, better than reddit / automod that instantly deletes a thread and even after multiple edits still can’t figure out wtf is wrong and why it actually keeps being caught in the reddit / automod filter, like over there can actually post without worrying if the post even gonna show up in the first place, and formating a thread feels nicer too

the trading is still very active for the newer version of diablo 2 which released in 2021 (Diablo 2 Resurected (D2R)), ladder are resets every ~4 months (as opposed to original Diablo 2 LoD that was ladder resets every 6 months) so now about 3 times a year compared to the 2 times a year
something else that works as a “reputation system” is the 2/3 rule which some people only trade depending on that, some dont care, it’s 3 variables “joined date, post amounts, gold amounts” so for example an account that joined at an older date & have more golds usually have the other party send first since that is the most “trusted” based on that 2/3 rule thing, mediators on demand are also a thing for the more expensive trades
also, people be scaling their computing power to run those bots way before bitcoin even was a even thing, some made millions by selling those fg offsite (against their ToS), but it pretty much has been bitcoin before bitcoin, just on a centralized forum with centralized database, the trading is P2P tho

there’s a “political & religious debate (PaRD)” section for like all that stuff, aint really my cup of tea but posted over there a bit prior to the US elections since i yolo’d 100% of my life savings on “red” through monero vegas lol, since won and posted about a smol transaction there, then posted the private key as a giveaway, was redeemed from this PaRD thread (even tho also posted in the monero thread too):

for the “Investment & Finance” section (where the Monero thread is at), it had a bit of activity for crypto thingies but i guess i just 1v9’d them or somethin and now everyone just silent on that which is boring af… it’s mostly the “stock traders” now that keep posting, they have threads that are like 700 pages or somethin, just a bunch of boomers pretty much lol
the “XRP” thread was closed few days ago, cause OP was just spamming “XRP” in all bold letters over and over again without having any actual discussion (which i had to be the one to disclose the supply chain attack that happened last month…), like, i didnt even reported his thread for spam, he just got it closed on his own i guess…
stoopid lol

there was a “bitcoin” thread, a “cryptocurrency” thread but i really think i just went to stronk on them like actually…
and threads over there are automatically closed after 3 months of inactivity
which is unfortunate cause ik there’s a few people over there that are very techy, the forum in itself was created for a botting script or something back in the days, the botting / dev community used to be bigger back then sadly

and even on the “Programming & Development” section, made a thread back in April regarding the FCMP++ coding competition to june 30th for a total reward of 350 xmr that was posted on reddit:
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=106142961&f=120
but even then, 150 views and not a single reply, sadly…

the brain-rot got to that community as well, but it used to be a great source of information with very well written guides with some very in-depth math, some crazy theorycrafting next level math u know, but nah, nowadays the twatter brain-rot got worldwide, pretty sad lol

since i :tinfoil: af tho, there’s one aspect that i like is that, can’t edit the posts after 30mins of posting so at least am like, aight, if accounts or whatever get hacked, at least those messages & links cant be tempered with (unless actually compromising admin account or something) but after 2 decades, that’s a better track record than bitcoin so far lol
and also, it’s actually searchable in search engines, unlike nowadays everything is behind closed walled gardens like the discords or whatever that those search engine can’t pick up on
didnt ross posted his silk road thing on bodybuildings forum or somethin? x)
linux forums, warez forums, those were the days search engines were still working properly, now it’s all AI and that’s sad
