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/
We are very open about the coin and it's history. We have pages and pages of trolls from the first 3 or 4 months, which you can read their comments and my responses. We also have pages and pages of trolls when our originally forging method failed and we had to scrap the entire system and start over. Those comments and our responses are still there.
We have nothing to hide and have been completely 100% open about development and very responsive to the community and their thoughts and ideas.
It was originally done as a precaution in the case that people from other coins or just really disastrously annoying trolls showed up and tried to ruin the thread. Most of the time we individually ignored them and as bitseed said, I don't even know if we have ever actually deleted a post. I know SyRenity removed one of mine once because I posted some info before I should have, but other than that we have never used moderation.
It is true.Really wish this project a success.
