I`ve just come from the serious discussion board and see topics like this one:

Shouldn`t those ones be in the Bitcoin Discussion Board? Well, I totally get that the Bitcoin Discussion board is polluted with all kinds of spammers, but if we don`t contribute with good posting activity and move our threads to Serious Discussion, how are we going to overcome all the spammers-invasion-situation?

Hey @seoin I think answer for question is also within your explanation. You and me all agreed that "Bitcoin discussion" board was polluted by spammers. "We" always try to contribute with good posting. The question shall be asked from not "us" but "spammers or shitposters" wether they are willing to change their posting behavior. I don't think so. Until then it's better to move from there.

BTW I hope mods are active in serious discussion board too. If they or other member thought that it doesn't belong to "serious discussion" board, then move it where it appropriate.( Because I don't think those posts are spam)

Isn`t it belongs to Politics & Society? or... even better, to "Off-topic"?

No isn't as far my knowledge (mods can correct me if I'm wrong). There is no politics or neither society involved. Where should I posted? I will rather delete my post without posting it in "off topic board" because it's almost filled with one liners and spammers, more oftenly can make better discussion with others.

But I don`t know then what`s the difference between the two mentioned boards and the Serious Discussion one. All the threads I`ve posted are about generic themes or very generic discussions, I can`t see any "serious" on them. But, of course, that`s just my own perception.

I can't say about others, but for me it's not generic, it's seems like, but it isn't. ( I'm talking about my thread). Imagine what would happened if "Satoshi" being active again and starting to post on Bitcoin discussion board, then he might thought "Are those serious talks?, it's like nurssary school talks about bitcoins". The point I'm highlighting is the knowledge and understanding is not equall in all the members, it's comparative. My believe is unless they are not spammers or shitposters why couldn't we allowed to post in "serious discussion" board.

I do have some questions:
- What is the Serious Discussion board meant for?

I think "pugman" already answered what "theymos" said it first place. If we want further clarification "theymos" the only person who can answer.

- Are we losing it?

No I don't think so.(just my opinion)

Quote

- What do you think about that, meaning, how to determine what is actually a "serious" discussion and what is not?

It's comparative according to person to person as far my knowledge.
Don't make "serious discussions" into "serious serious discussions"

- Is that meant to avoid spammers? If it is, then it should probably has a restriction like the Ivory Tower.

Then we don't want two boards one is enough. I don't think theymos is a fan of "restrictions for free to speech unless they are spams" and what I believe is then those boards will remain like group chat with only established members. That doesn't mean spammars/shitposters should allowed to post in those boards at all.
