What i thought of was an idea where an Introductory section was implemented into the forum, whereby, if someone were to join the forum they would be pointed to this specific section and would be asked what they are joining for, what they hope to achieve, what can they bring to the table etc etc. Basically, a way to see if people are genuine or not and in a way-POLICE (politely) members prior to actually posting elsewhere.
A survey you are talking about. Personally, I would not like to have that kind of asking questions and answering them. I do not like participating on survey by any means.
People come here to know things they do not know especially related to crypto. Yes, lately (I guess, I have no idea how it was before I join the forum) there are these types of people who think the forum is gonna make them some money or worse is - to think of life changing money by participating the bounty campaigns and also signature campaigns. Interestingly I noticed some of these people thinks BitcoinTalk means Bitcoin (
[DIY] BitcoinTalk ≠ Bitcoin) LOL.
Just read this... LOL
If "official" Bitcointalk is Buggy why should I trust BTC?
Typically, these members are the root of every problem you are pointing.
Farther more this is the psychology of theymos:
mainly because it's part of the forum's mission to be as free as possible.
It's always preferable to handle these problems by reshaping the environment to make them non-problems, rather than removing some freedom.
The motivation is the freedom of doing that you want to do. Problem is there are people who will take advantages from anything.
