Maybe they can make a bot-mod to automatically move these generic topics in trashcan? I think it is of demand in sections where spamming is happening mostly. As far as I know, only Beginners & Help section has this but I'm not sure if that bot is also trashing useless topics.

Anything automated could become a problem and have legitimate threads being trashed.

It's been suggested before to exclude certain boards from counting as Activity.

You get threads like this all the time: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2467953.0

The Newbie you're talking about has an account older than mine, 18 Posts, and created 16 topics!

I'm not against allowing Newbies to create new topics, but there should be a limit. All of his 16 topics are useless, and apparently creating a topic is easier to spam than posting in a thread. This way, his shitposts can't be offtopic, even though topics like that have been created countless times already.

Another beauty:

How and where do you purchase iota?

One spammer creates a thread, countless other spammers gladly "reply" and spam more.

I'd say hopper28755 should just be nuked.

Although it's been discussed to not count towards activity I don't think that would affect the threads which are being mentioned here as they would likely be in the alt coin discussion which is one of the most popular boards.
