most of the people who didn't want to spam but have relevant topics moved their topics to serious discussion or ivory tow.
I never liked the idea of ignoring the problem and just moving somewhere else.
Serious discussion and the Ivory Tower are good. But they should be
temporary solutions. There will still be rampant spam in all sections namely Bitcoin Discussion which has devolved to the point where it seems insulting to have such a name. Moderators need to handle things on a more macro level (thread locks/trashing), or there should be more moderators appointed.
We should also have some better proactive measures against spam as the forum scales.
