100 merit+ to start a thread on the main alt or btc board
junior boards opened for btc and alt sections for all the
which ico is best threads
the boards simply move to fast with many many duplicate threads and most are just pump my ico threads anyway by armies of sockpuppet accounts with zero merit
mods need demerit powers really for obvious spammers who have purchased high level accounts but never post anything of worth and just use them to spam for different icos
Having restrictions for starting threads (basis ranks) has been suggested for a long time. The general consensus is that might be too restrictive. The problems is not just with low value threads, it is with the multiple accounts spamming in them. It might take some, but the merit system will definitely have an impact.
