What is a concern to me is that all these newbie accounts created to spam this forum with Spectrecoin, snip...

This exactly. There is a user I don't remember the name that has put the same Spectrecoin post across half the topics I am watching. And I even received PM about it form some newbie. To me that is clear spamming and I choose not to be part of that community. The same goes for Deep Onion.

The coin looks good on paper and private coins are very popular at the moment and if there wasn't such aggressive marketing I would have already invested in it.

Thats terrible investment advice. I didn't post any investment advice. For all I know Spectre could be best coin out there. I just said i will skip it because of aggressive marketing.

And Spectrecoin has every feature DeepOnion has and many more. Nor does the Dev control the majority supply. Don't compare the two. I really know almost nothing about both of them. I just compered marketing techniques. Which I don't approve.

Spamming by definition is:

irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of recipients. And I believe that unwanted PM to my inbox about coins I am not interested in, are well inside that definition.

I see the content here both relevant on a cryptocurrency forum and certainly profitable had you followed the 'Spam' you've received. This is grassroots community driven marketing. We aren't sock puppets and its a beautiful thing. I agree that this topic is OK. And I have no problems about things written here. That is why I read topics like this to find investment opportunity. I have a problem when I see people pushing info about Spectre (and Deep Onion) in totally unrelated threads.

I have commented in green in your quote above but I will repeat myself here once more. I don't have anything against Spectre it seems like good investing opportunity from what I read about it which I admit is not that much. Only problem I have related to it is IMHO too aggressive marketing campaign and that is a reason why I will not invest in it. I could be doing it wrong but I feel much better if I find the project compered to situation where everyone around me is saying something is the best

Trofo, I apologize on behalf of the SpectreCoin community for any unsolicited PM's you may have received, as well as posts in unrelated threads where mention of a specific coin unrelated to the thread would be inappropriate. This behavior goes against our community guidelines, and quite frankly, our culture. While it is not possible to control every community participant's behavior, we do actively and strongly discourage any spammy or unprofessional behavior or posts.

I would welcome a personal message from you indicating who is doing this, complete with screen shots, so the issue can be addressed at the source.
