Just because YOU "ignored" them, just means that YOU didn't see all the TRASH and BS they were leaving around unchallenged. It didn't stop any new people interested in SPR from getting SLAMMED with all that crap.

Why do you see the need to protect the newcomers from being slammed with crap?
Who made you their "protector"?

Do you think the newcomers are like children, and they need to be protected from the bad world out there?

That's the old fallacy of giving up your freedom for a little security. That's completely antithetical to what DECENTRALIZATION stands for.

The ONLY reason it stopped is because of the modded thread.

Wrong!
The only reason they stopped is because they succeeded in making us bow to their demands.
LMAO they made us leave our own home thread, for crying out loud!!! Angry

This all feels like a nightmare that is finally over...

Listen: in the whole history of BCT there has NEVER been an endless troll-attack that just went on and on forever.
Trolls don't work like that. They want fast success, they choose easy targets... They want you to do their bidding, and then they leave.

Trolls only leave when...

a) they succeed!
b) they find an easier target!
c) they realize that they will not succeed!

And IF you delete the modded thread, who's to say they wont start up the sock puppet trash generation campaign again tomorrow, or next week, or next month... Whenever they want to kill the price again which is EXACTLY what they intended and succeeded in doing the last time. We didn't defeat shit. They stopped because they couldn't get to us anymore because their crap was not allowed to persist in the modded thread. The only reason they stopped is because they lost control.

I don't care what happens with the modded thread, what a red herring argument.

What we should care about is what happens with our original 300 page thread started by the dev himself, a thread grown thru the participation of a caring community over the period of many months.

Let the trolls come!
Give them nothing!

Any argument about "modded thread making the coin look weak", "laughing stock BS", "not knowing how to deal with trolls", etc is a straw argument... The only reason it exists is because a modded thread wasn't created in the first place... What are we? Pre-Schoolers on the playground believing that the bully that beat the crap out of us for fun has been reformed and won't be a bully tomorrow? Ever heard the story of the Frog and the Scorpion trying to get across the river? Don't fall for it. Keep the modded thread and keep it professional.

It will stand up for itself as people see that the difficult issues are NOT modded, only the trash.

Care to explain why darkcoin and hundreds of other coins SURVIVED the continuous troll attacks, and are now standing strong?
Based on your logic they shouldn't have succeeded, because the constant trolling would have destroyed their un-moderated threads, right?

.... but this didn't happen!

It never does!

In the end it never does! Grin

If others were able to handle the trolls, why shouldn't we succeed too?

Save what you want from this thread and then kill it.

That's curious.. You are the first one who is supposedly part of our community who I hear demanding that we should "kill" our original thread!
Why do you want to kill it? I mean I would have assumed that you self-moderators where thinking about maybe locking it at some point in time, but killing it?
