Mentioning XT gets you moved to altcoins? Are all the mods doing this?
Yes. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1148679.msg12102884#msg12102884
I assume they'll realise they're fighting a losing battle pretty rapidly. No one but a crusty handful believes it's a valid course.
Why? Bitcoin XT is an alternate client. Same as other clients like Electrum and MultiBit. It hasn't forked yet, and Bitcoin XT will always remain an alt client if there is no majority. Currently, Bitcoin XT does not receive and send an altcoin, it sends bitcoin! This is a mistake. BitcoinTalk mods are better than this.
