This is the main reason why people aren't getting their posts merited--the only good sections of bitcointalk IMO are Meta and Reputation.
That is bad. Meta and Reputation are the boards where most of the forum politics, bitching takes place. I'm surprised you called them good sections because it dissolves the entire point of running a bitcoin forum. Most happening topics in those boards revolve around leaving feeback back to each other and how untrustworthy someone is.
Everything else is just a spam-fest,
Excluding Development & Technical Discussion/ Technical support sections.
