Re: If this contiunes, we'll lose the Bitcoin Discussion topic
Yeah, although Altcoin Discussion hasn't been subject to the newbie bot invasion as far as I can see. I would agree with you that in general that place is a mess though. Can't really blame the moderation team on that one as mprep is the only dedicated mod, and has to deal with thousands of posts per day in that section alone never mind the it's child boards.
Maybe its time for bitcointalk to have more mods(rather than just one) for a few sections being filled with spammers. Altcoin section can be a start. I wonder, who has been reporting a lot on altcoin section? those boards need more than 3 active moderators. I'd suggest people to start reporting more in altcoin section.
Next mod position is upon us, hungry forumiters.
If don hilary spends less time on his alt account, and people start reporting more on his section, we could have a better Bitcoin discussion. though I can't see any real solution other than restricting signature campaigns and bounties, because they are the root of the problem, admin wants free speech, cheaters are giving him free speech by posting nonsense all over the forum. is there anybody else besides me and a few others who'd post here even if they are not getting paid? this is bad. everybody who joins this forum has a paid signature no matter what they are advertising. people are already abusing this freedom. theymos do something. we are dead on the waters here.
