Personally, I believe that it would not be a good business practice to either encourage people to use other forums or to allow members to promote other forums within your forum.... even though surely we know that other bitcoin forums do exist.
Technically, yes. However, if you've spent a lot of time in threads related to contentious HF's, you would see that some are constantly trying to manipulate others in addition to discussions just kind-of looping.
Fair enough. I don't spend too much time in HF threads, even though many threads in this forum are seeming to incorporate that HF topic.
I understand that it is probably not easy to keep up with banning and suspending of troll accounts that keep repeating themes with little to no substance, and some trolling is probably acceptable... but maybe banning and suspending is the best solution, ultimately, rather than suggesting that members go to other forums....
Don't get me wrong;.... I am also of the opinion that neither hardforking nor making hardforking easier in bitcoin seems to not be the solution to a better and stronger (more secure bitcoin), and there seems to be quite a bit of success in bitcoin in recent times from the fact that there has not been any actual hard fork, and the idea of a hardfork seems to be less and less convincing for people who give the repercussions some serious thought and who really want to make bitcoin stronger.
