Why is the thread self-moderated? This just removes any sort of transparency, and people will already doubt the coin if its self-moderated. its just better to leave it open and handle things publicly to see the "true" coin, possibly they will trust it even more/
I understand how you feel and I'm sure some agree. But if you want my opinion and I know that you do, self-moderated works in some cases. I didn't even notice Crypti was such. Doesn't really matter to me.
To my knowledge, nothing has ever been removed from the Crypti thread other than updating the OP to reflect current project status and links. Constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are welcomed. Feedback from the the communication is very important to the Crypti development effort.
We have seen the utility of other project threads severely degraded when trolls post page after page repeating the same comments over and over. Extremely offensive content also gets posted from time to time. Self moderation provides a means to remedy these types of situations should they arise.
