You just need to check the last 3 pages to understand the conversation has become impossible.

What has made conversation on your thread impossible is largely that people from your community (including I think you but I'm not sure) respond to on-topic criticism of Dash not with on-topic support of Dash, but by discussing personalities (including purported doxing), criticizing other coins, conspiracy theories of "paid trolls", etc. all of which is off-topic and explicitly against the forum rules to be discussed there.

That isn't even a judgement call -- off topic posts on a thread are not allowed -- while your claim of "professional" trolls is made with no evidence whatsoever, and somehow the culture of the Dash thread has come to define negative posts, even if entirely substantive and on-topic as to Dash, as "trolling". That is incorrect and you can't expect the moderators to take a position on one side of the debate over the merits of any particular coin.

Moderators can, and do (because I see many of the posts get deleted) go through page after page of the Dash thread and see that in many cases the vast majority of the posts do not discuss Dash at all, either positively or negatively. (Most of those are from supporters of Dash, but I don't really expect moderators to keep track of who is a supporter and who is not.) That is clearly out of line.

tldr police your own.

EDIT: I don't disagree that some individual posts may veer into trolling and those can be legitimately reported as Spoetnik said. That's true for virtually every single thread on this forum. If you think there isn't a lot of trolling everywhere on this forum you need to look around a bit. But many of that poster's posts are just on-topic criticism and it is inappropriate for any coin to expect forum mods censor that (even if it weren't accurate, since accuracy,  opinions, and accusations of scamming are explicitly NOT moderated). Example:

INSTAMINED / SOLOMINED SCAM - READ FOR YOURSELF - DONT GET CAUGHT UP IN THE EXCITEMENT OF THE CIRCLE JERK

1. Within the very first hour over 500,000 coins were mined

2. Within 8 hours over 1.5 million coins were mind, which is most of the instamine.

On the matter of the instamine itself, you are ignoring a whole host of extremely shady practices that surrounded the instamine.

3. The Evan misled people into thinking that the launch would not happen for days (and specifically not in hours), then it happened in a few hours. Considering the 500K number in the first item above, the effect of this "ambush" was enormous.
