It has already become largely unfit for purpose. The vast majority of people posting here are just those churning out one/two liners for payment )or farming) and that much is obvious if you spend a few minutes reading a random thread in Bitcoin Discussion.


There are rules, but a lot of the most important ones aren't enforced efficiently (bans or ban evasion to name a couple). The list of rules is also mostly community generated and the rules theymos initially created were very few and consisted of mostly things like no off topic replies. I'm not sure whether he even cares about enforcing half of them, but if certain rules aren't going to be enforced we should just get rid of them and go back to having only a handful of rules and let people already do largely what they want because that's what most do anyway. I don't think we should do this or allow it but not much else we can do about it without theymos' help.

Blacklisting signatures requires theymos input unless he creates a tool for other staff or admins to use.
