This may look a Joke but, is a Member qualified to be a Moderator? Or is it even possible though, I want to try this.

I think we should probably be looking at more established members, though if you had hundreds of reports in there it might be a different case. If you want to be a mod then keep reporting and put in the work to show you would be beneficial as staff.

Who here is up to the task of moderating the section in order to remove this garbage, but without hampering the free exchange of ideas there?

That board along with all the others that don't have a dedicated mod should have one, but a way to curb the low quality posts in there would be to disallow lower ranked members from either creating threads or straight up posting in there.

So, your solution to keep the free exchange of ideas is to ban lower ranked members?

If theymos wants to keep the free exchange of ideas then he can go with my other suggestion of making it like Serious Discussion and nothing is impacted by that but who actually signs up here just to discuss politics? If you go in there it's just wall to wall kids from south east asia making multiple threads about whether you like your girlfriend or parents more or yet another thread about how much you believe in god or not. This is a bitcoin forum after all so I see no big issue in preventing new members who sign up just to farm their accounts by posting crap in there day after day. A lot of these farmers posts are 100% in there and they don't care about talking politics but just use it as a board to easily add to their post count whilst putting the smallest amount of thought or effort into their posts.
