My proposals for improved T2W

[Technically Fundamental]

1. Ban all bots/profiles that exhibit bot-ish behaviour
2. Complete thread purge... delete all threads except the legendary ones (subject to vote by most reliable, mature and longest standing mods)
3. Cap on the amount of posts per account per day subject to content review or some sort of rep basis
4. Scam section where scams carried out on users can be discussed and kept separate e.g. bucket shops, stock brokers, thieving hedge funds etc
5. Account purge. Deleting accounts who haven't posted in yonkers. Should cut down on multi-nicking
6. Lightening Ahmedinejad
7. New professional/profitable traders (they can prove it if they want it enough) members can't post outside of learning threads for 6 weeks so the same annoying questions don't keep coming up. That way they can be redirected to old thread answering their questions without clogging up the main board
8. Weekly cap on thread creation.
9. Change this sh1t red and grey screen

somin does need to be done about the ENDLESS posts on what happened in the markets yesterday from ****ty bots. total joke, it takes up the majority of new posts on the forum

 

[arabianights]

all you need to improve t2w is to get some traders. There are very few traders here.

 

[Technically Fundamental]

Why do they hate it? Are they too busy making money?

 

[gooseman]

self reciprocating. sh1t breeds sh1t

 

[Technically Fundamental]

I don't think any of the actual staff give a sh1t

8. Weekly cap on thread creation.

This from a person who has created 55 threads.

Oh, I hate the bloomberg/marketwatch etc. threads - they **** me off. Just give them their own thread and let them update it.

...Are you excluding / including yourself..??

 

[Technically Fundamental]

The rules would apply to me too masq. Anyway, almost half of them were worthwhile.

...Are you excluding / including yourself..??

I don't talk about my markets here, there's very few to talk to them about... in fact with exception of gooseman all that I'm aware of who still post are in my chatroom anyway.

It's sad, but what can you do?

 

[Technically Fundamental]

Interesting markets too. I don't have a clue what's going on in that chat so I just stay away.

 

[arabianights]

Buy either Eurodollars Futures and Options handbook or Trading STIR Futures, read it, and you'll understand enough...

2. Complete thread purge... delete all threads except the legendary ones

Must I assume that my few non-legendary-but-still-very-useful-for-me threads should be wiped?

I agree specially about bots... and point #9

If the top dogs don't think it cuts the mustard it would be a necessary evil.

There is no point talking about trading on here;

When you can trade; You just follow your plan and execute your trades; You don't care that Barry and Jill are shorting cable because of a trendline breakout... Hence in the end; All analysis is pointless and any discussion about fundamentals is short-lived through lack of knowledge.

Furthermore; Most trading conservations are so basic, retail and under-capitalised based; that i've never once heard eurodollar be referred to as a STIR rather than a FX pair (Except just now from Arabian) Not once!

P.s. I just locked in a massive loss through hedging the position. I could cry.

 

[trendie]

good suggestions, TF.

esp the culling of dormant accounts. I hate that "we've got 190,000 members" , when barely a tenth have actually visited/posted in past 6 months.

 

[arabianights]

eurodollar STIRs existed well before the euro was an twinkle in the eye of some french twat

 

[GammaJammer]

Not sure I agree on last sentence from gladiator - doing a bit of a disservice to the likes of Martinghoul, Gooseman etc....

Thats funny because I'd have said the opposite was true
