Inderes' Coffee Room (Part 1)

It’s good to focus on your own performance!

In my opinion, the coffee room has at least previously had a very good spirit, and at least on my part, I would hope for more Sampo salmon and Aston meme pictures and less angst due to flagging. Since I am a man of action, I decided to create a separate thread for flagging discussions, which I believe could serve as the primary place for flagging discussions:

My wish would be that the flagging discussion raging in every thread could thus be collected in one place instead of having it in each thread separately and immediately afterwards in the coffee room.

Did you think the coffee room would be like this from now on?

At least in my opinion, a coffee room or other “free chat” thread like this is a nice pastime to read during coffee breaks, and its existence is very cool. On the other hand, when you’re in a hurry reading some stock discussion, you’d hope people remember the coffee room exists and would bother to move here to chat about this and that :relaxed:

This whole flagging discussion wouldn’t be happening if flagging wasn’t causing a storm in every thread.

I’ve been looking for the fastest way to delete my own messages from different threads on the forum… I don’t want to delete them one by one??? :grin:. Making room for content creators :grin: :grin: :grin:

Instead of a personal potato cellar, should we open a HydroPit for all steel balls, a free-for-all cage match for all hydrogen-related hype, fireworks, and raw diamonds. Rules straight from the late 90s, meaning there are hardly any.

Tell us your tips as confusingly as you like and laugh when no one understands how to dig the invisible raisin out of the bun! Tip a hot buying spot after the stock market has already closed, waiting for a +20% opening in the morning. Dance a ripaska around your fellow investors, hyping your portfolio’s value and return percentage! Threaten that if the flag is waving, you might not tell us about your next million-dollar sale at all, not even late. And don’t even care that you didn’t tell us about the last one either! The most important thing is that the pedestal is high and the feeling is fantastic!

And if you encrypt the right message into a format you understand, and you still have dry powder at the bottom of your wallet, a fabulous return could be yours! Step in today!

Not for the sensitive, not for the shy, and certainly not for the nitpickers.

Welcome to the HydroPit :oncoming_fist::oncoming_fist::collision::collision::dizzy::face_with_head_bandage:

I quickly read these flagging discussions this morning. Could flagging work, for example, as follows: X flags a comment. 2 x Y people like the flagged comment and the flag is removed. In this case, there are more people who think the comment was useful. The ratio could be, for example, 1 flag equals 3 likes or something. Is this a completely stupid idea? @Verneri_Pulkkinen @Meri @NEA @ @Johannes_Sippola.

It’s a bit difficult to make great buying timing if you’re on a week-long timeout due to flagging.

Edit: I haven’t posted any great hydrogen and energy buys to the chain since adding Siemens Gamesa. :rose::heart:

I myself have been following your content production with great interest, as well as the “useless” buy/sell listings. @viljo’s comments are also interesting. I also follow other people’s interesting comments and meme stuff in various threads. It would also help if new people’s course comments were left out. If I know the commenter knows the company or is thoroughly interested in it/investing in it, then I accept more of everything else. As a result of all this, I have become acquainted with so many companies and articles that I haven’t gotten paid, but I guess I’ve gotten a little wiser.

The problem with that, in my opinion, is that it is typical and human for people to seek out like-minded company. In addition, we like to read comments that match our own understanding of how things work. For some of us, a network or association has also been built, perhaps unintentionally, of whom to follow and agree with, and whom not to. Based solely on likes, it is not always possible to deduce anything about the message content or its usefulness to the community.

This discussion in general is an important part of shaping forum culture and should not be ignored. Now, however, I will return to the stands to cheer.

@Anatooli.. now we just wait and see what happens. Or if anything happens at all. I won’t comment on the matter any further… I trust that the administration has enough vision on how to handle this.. but still, that’s a good alternative you brought up.

For flagging, for example, a 25-character rule, if you click the flag, you have to write a 25-character reason for flagging before it activates.

This cuts down on pointless low-threshold whiny flags.

For a truly irrelevant message, you can then write, for example, “a completely value-less message” (exactly 25 characters, including spaces).

Flagging undeniably clarifies threads, but now it feels like sometimes it’s done with a really negligible threshold because it’s so effortless and no justification is needed.

I agree with this. I admit to using the like button a bit too often. I’ve tried to press the heart icon only when the opinion/comment is particularly good in its content or well-argued, regardless of whether I agree with it. The heart icon has also been a good way for me to mark messages I’ve read, and for this reason, I don’t want to get rid of my serial liker habits.

Rules can sometimes feel unpleasant, but boundaries are also love. I’m sure that flagging has also weeded out unnecessary nastiness and kept the forum more informative. I’m quite a timid writer on public forums, but here I’ve dared to ask silly questions and ponder, knowing that the forum has certain rules of conduct that are also adhered to. I do notice I have more tolerance for @viljo and @Meri’s price increase comments because both are active in producing other content as well, and I’ve gotten to know their writing style. I don’t know if someone started that “Viljo’s Free Kingdom” thread, but thanks for the day :joy: :rofl: :joy: :joy:

Is anyone familiar with https://microcapexplosions.com/? Or its operator Mariusz Skonieczny? I’m thinking of subscribing but 1500 is quite a lot, so I’m wondering if anyone would be willing to split the cost.

In my opinion, the atmosphere on this forum has deteriorated quite a bit.

@Seinakadun_Keisari I’ve been following the guy quite a bit and would definitely be interested if I had a bit more capital available. However, it’s “only” a one-year fee, so it feels bad to put that kind of sum down, even though knowing the guy, it could come back quite quickly. Please message me here if you decide to pay for it and tell me if it’s worth it :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Uncle Masse has been watching this fresh youth romp with a little concern and reiterates his earlier suggestion to the village police:

Let’s remove the whole flagging system as unnecessary and replace it with the good old upvote-downvote system :slight_smile: Everyone can express their opinion about a post, and if downvotes clearly outnumber upvotes (e.g., 70%), the village police will take the post under review and first give the author a warning, then a second warning, and then direct the author to explore Inden’s floor 000 :slight_smile: At least for a while :slight_smile:

By doing this, no single person will torpedo another, and no one will get angry about a single flag, but the community will decide whether the post was below the bar.

Uncle Masse, FA, age brings wisdom, and even unnecessary eagerness disappears :ok_hand: :ok_hand: :ok_hand:

My opinion: I haven’t experienced the flagging system to be this bad. My system has been that if something is flagged, I either delete the entire message if I see a reason for the flagging (usually these have been, in retrospect, useless one-liners without added value) or I simply wait out the “penalty time” and edit the message somehow and try again. If someone is so worked up that they flag it again, I thank them for the feedback and delete the message and let it be – and in some cases, I leave the entire thread and remove it from my followed topics. I haven’t received a second flag for what I consider appropriate messages after editing, and I haven’t yet seen the inside of Inderes’ dungeon. :sweat_smile:
