New idea: charge a fee of 1 BTC for every new ANN in the altcoin announcements.
This would drastically reduce the amount of low-quality projects / scams posted.
Not every Altcoin ANN poster has 1+ BTC to just throw into making an ANN...
What is your point here exactly? If they don't have or can't muster up the fee to post here then it just shows you how much faith they have in their product. If they were serious about listing it here then they would have no issue getting the funds together but for those fly by night scammers who just want to quickly throw their crappy idea out there and see if they get lucky it'll make them think twice.
I would agree this idea also because after that there would be less amount of scam coins and ico's thread but also there is another problem. This forum is free service, if wedo that, then another bitcoin forum will try to get opportunity by mentioning that such service is free on their forum.
There are already several other similar forums people could advertise on but they don't have anywhere near the userbase this one does so it would be futile even listing them there. People announce their coins here because it's the best way to do so and there's a huge userbase that will happily advertise here for you via signature campaigns, but running a signature campaign on forum with hardly any users would be equally as worthless.
What my point is? My point is that poor people won't be able to post an altcoin ANN, no matter how awesome it is!
