I agree with the decision, please, the point of the Alt Coin section of Bitcointalk was so that you could have basic conversation about whatever coins you wanted here. Things like in depth coin support and discussion, and giveaways are far better off on their own respective coin's forum. Its getting way out of control here, and we thought that just allowing for a little bit organization would help, but the effects of incentivized posting is spamming the forum, and its spilling over to the rest of the boards.

Seems like a good idea. It was getting out of control and it's encouraging them even more to create and market 1000000 new cryptos that just saturate the market...

Lots of peoples, big potential, just censored. And it's a good idea ?

Why not a subforum ?

And what's about giving away the 6k of donations peoples did to you to get a nice forum ? Peoples asking for giveaway threads that's why there is a lot. So we gave 6k to get pulled out ?

Bitcoin forum, people donated for a Bitcoin forum. Many of those people want Alt Coins gone entirely from Bitcointalk. The Altcoin section was made essentially as an off topic section, to group all non bitcoin crypto currencies in one place that is out of the way from the Bitcoin discussion. The spam is overwhelming the entire forum.

I agree, maybe just open up a new forum section for giveaway posts. To ban giveaway posts and the users doing it is a waste of great potential traffic derived from this site and banning it also hurts incentive for potential future users of bitcointalk.org.

My advice is always find a way to accommodate, don't tell people no, it could wind up being a huge loss. #OpenUpAGiveAwaySection

Problem is if they open up a section just for giveaways it wont be targeted specific to what the creators of the giveaways are trying to give out and therefor will always be less effective lost in a sea of giveaways. Its a nice compromise but I doubt Bitcointalk.org will go for it.

Dude shut up, like you know what Bitcointalk wants or doesn't want lol, they should just make a section for posting giveaways plain and simple!
