I say get out of this thread if you're not going to contribute.
ok having read through your previous post with your theory, im kind of liking where its going, i take back what i said earlier
I agree with most of your post, but this bit is absurd. Just because someone has a low forum rank does not exclude them from having any sort of valid claim, and this part of your post really doesn't even belong in your argument.
I don't think that's necessary and I don't think he is trolling. He might be making a few assumptions but with reasonable intention until proven otherwise.
Absurd or not, it's a common theme when people troll these threads. Usually because it's a week-old account, or an account someone doesn't actively use, except to troll the forums with. It might not hold weight with you, and it doesn't hold weight with me either, but it does hold weight with some.
Again, this guy might be legit. I'm just throwing out what needs to happen for people to come close to taking him seriously, because I've been down exactly the same path.
They could be a "Mostly Harmless" poster and put up a pic of a new set of ruins and I'll gush over them instantly.

He's baiting us for attention. How do you intend to prove otherwise?
Both well commented but I have to agree with Jmanis.
This is a sharing forum thread, if you have a theory to test, it's probably best to post when you've done your science; it tends to evoke a reaction by mentioning things about how you think you might have solved it, but without giving any information.
We've all been in a situation I am sure outside of the game (yes, in 'real' life) where someone baits you with the fact that they know something, but will "tell you later" (if at all). Best just to sit back, get the bunsen and glass vials out, do some science, then report something. If people want to do the whole post-and-wait thing I do not mind, but... Well, can be seen as a tease to some.
Looking forward to getting some results from others that have said they think they're onto something, regardless.

I think some stuff is getting a little bit lost in translation. I'll try and clarify the original statement. I'll put the original statement in normal text, and use red for explanatory comments & notes. It doesn't look great on the screen I'm afraid, and I've tried a few options to make it easier on the eye, but couldn't come up with anything better!
Starting note: where I've used the word 'system' below, this means a technology system, not a star system.
-----------------------------------------------------
This is truely fascinating data commander, as an engineer myself I have to admit I'm highly curious about the Guardians technology. nothing to add on this sentence It seems that the guardians had a particular fascination with geometric shapes, which they used to illustrate connections between themselves and the world around them. nothing to add on this sentence This predilection manifested itself in their technology as well - specifically their monolith network. note - IIRC it is stated elsewhere that this is their interstellar communications network With this data and the help of the galactic community we've partially mapped the monolith network There is an implication here that Ram Tah has identified other nodes in the network, as it wouldn't be a map if it was just the one location, which formed the backbone of their communications technology If it's the backbone, then the implication is that the monolith network is the infrastructure layer of their communications system, and discovered that they too are arranged in geometric patterns There are implications here about the number of nodes that Ram Tah has discovered. There must be enough for it to be confirmed that arrangement in geometric patterns is a rule. 3 nodes would not be enough to do that. It would require at least a few sets of nodes arranged in geometric patterns and no nodes which didn't fit geometric patterns. The absolute minimum number of nodes for this would be 5 - I'll explain why below. Whilst this does not give us full access to the network this means the full monolith network, e.g. the hardware layer, I believe it is the first step to unlocking the entire system this could be taken to mean the full monolith network (hardware layer), but given the context it almost certainly means the full communications system (hardware, software, etc.) and maybe more the implication here is that it may also help unlock other systems or information (not more of the same system). This is a very reasonable premise, as presumably information about the other systems is likely to be contained within the communication system.
-----------------------------------------------------
Why a minimum of 5 nodes? Basically, to say there's a pattern, there would need to be multiple geometric shapes. For a square or above it would be possible to claim it (very tenuosly) from two of the shapes, which if there's a shared edge, would need a minimum of 6 nodes. For a triangle, due to it being a simpler shape you'd probably need at least 3 to say there's a pattern (otherwise it would be the same as spotting single square or diamond shape and claiming there's a geometric pattern). With shared edges, the minimum number of nodes for 3 triangles in a pattern is 5.
I hope that's helpful guys. Obviously it's all slightly subjective, and I can't claim to actually 100% know the exact meaning of the Ram Tah statement. But it should be correct enough!
I understand that, but it's just basically adding in some crappy qualifier (the forum rank) to those who wish to do science and contribute to the thread. There is NOTHING stopping anyone new from coming on here and showing us all up (aside from a bug) on solving these things.
If you look back, I was the first to respond to his new post and I don't believe him, but I just don't think it's fair to judge a user's contributions based on if they live on the forums or not.
I do agree with the not sharing thing, though; that's kind of garbage.

There are 400 billion star systems with little for clues. Both tasks seem daunting.
But even even if those relic towers point towards a specific object at a specific time. He said it lead to a communicate station or something like that and all we get to see is a crater. But how does this help solving the ruin mission? Where are the other 65 scans? How do you get them? Is there another ruins site on the other planet? None of this is answered in older posts. Witholding most information and just saying he has solved the ruins puzzle isn't going to help. I don't even need to know how he solved it, but what has he found? He doesn't claim to have found the other data scans, although saying he solved the ruins puzzle. He says he went looking for their homeworld but found a communication station instead and shows a picture of an empty crater.
Aparently he has shared the information a while back and now is looking to replicate the result.
Reminds me of when the first video of the alien encounter came up and most where screaming fake. A few moments later many were eating their own words, with lots of salt.
Do not feed the troll! FOR SCIENCE!
No, he shared the initial theory, just like everyone else. He did explain how he got the glyph part, but he didn't explain how he got the "time" part.
No need to say that the images are broken, right?

For what it's worth, if you look back, I've not told them they can't contribute, nor accused them of being a troll. But they've also met with, lets say, "resistance", and there's reasons for that. I just listed them.
Don't shoot the messenger
So, you seem to have gained the uncanny ability of understanding the language of the Guardians. Let us know the human catalogue designation of the star you claim to have decoded.
He said he saw "something" last Monday at 2300. Since we know the rotational period of the planet, next "witnessing" will be this Monday around the time he said. At the very least the math is sound.
To be fair most of the images are just incredibly small for some reason.
