All of them seem to be asking questions about something Bitcoin/Crypto related.

Let's ban everyone who is asking crypto related questions on bitcoin forum.

We haven't had a good witch-hunt in quite some time. We may be overdue.

Just create a board for new members. You know it will have to be done sometime, so the sooner the better.

I know that something like this is already working on Russian local section where newbies can't create threads anywhere excapt newbie section. But tbh I don't think it could be appliable to the whole forum because some services are creating their accounts and have to start their threads asap (but btw allowing thread creation to copper member newbies might help here).

I don't think that this would work in any meaningful capacity. If we limited the newbies to a newbie board, then the bots would just continue to farm the way they do within the newbie board until one of their bots acquires the merit to break out of that board and into the rest of the forum. It wouldn't stop the bots, but it would simply change the way they operate; this isn't fruitful in my opinion. Any actions taken against them should be significant enough to remove the incentive for them to do what they are doing, else it will continue.

A whole thread about them probably isn't necessary.

Especially considering there is already threads such as this : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3488933.0 , which do provide examples, evidence and meaningful discussion surrounding the topic.
