Out of control, for (dare I say) years!

But mostly we've seen a crazy influx of newbies joining in 2017 as the Bitcoin price as soared and people started to give a shit. All these Newbies lead to a lot of poor quality posting. And the motivation for the new entrants and the shitty posting was participation in bounty and signature campaigns, i.e., getting tokens or bitcoin "for free". For people to participate they need to reach the Member rank or higher (generally), this system requires Newbies to prove they've made 10 posts that others believe are worthy of merit before reaching that rank and participating in the other privileges this forum offers.
