There's half a dozen ICO campaigns that popped up over the last month alone and they're all paying hundreds of users to make the same sorts of posts and there's many more farmers that I know of who still need looking into. These ICO campaigns are both lazy and greedy and don't give a shit about the spam as long as the shit is getting smeared all over the forum promoting their scam but it needs to stop. If you pay for these sorts of posts your accounts should be banned, all threads trashed and their signatures forcibly removed/blacklisted but without theymos' help nothing will change.

This is Bitcointalk. The forum shouldn't cater to altcoins at all. Why give them the audience & platform to confuse people and take away from Bitcoin? Just get rid of the altcoin section entirely and get back to discussing Bitcoin.

I've brought up this point before as well. And half of the ICOs apparently don't even offer alt coins but just tokens or shares or whatnot (though I don't look too much into them). I don't think theymos will kill that section either because of the amount of traffic it generates. I don't mind the alt coin section as it was created to keep the alt coin crap in its own little quarantine and I largely stay out of it, but with ICO campaigns that spam is spread out over the entire forum which shouldn't be acceptable.
