I started a thread about twitter campaigns on the beginners board, and it hasn't received any replies yet. In it I said that I was told to leave and go to Reddit if I wanted to talk about Bitcoin, and that this forum is now all about bounty. This is my thread -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3346535.0

This is what the forum has come to, and it is difficult to see how it can dig itself out of the bounty hunter hole.

Just FYI, I tried to follow the link, but could not find the replies you mention. Maybe they have been deleted (or they were PM)?

But yes, this is shocking.

And honestly, it puts a damper at least for me, to engage much on bitcointalk.

Anyhow, another thought, and maybe this would be easier to implement:

How about creating an invitation only section of the site? Anyone can read and follow the discussions but posting is closed to the "public". Only those who have proven that they can articulate a cogent argument, have been recognized by existing members as suitable discussion partners and only through invitation by an existing member can join the closed sections and post in the discussions.

Sounds perhaps elitist, but it could help to increase the quality at least in some areas.
