...Either remove alts from the forum or let people do their own stuff.
Thats the next plan if this doesn't help.
Stop being such a gangster.
''before the whole alt currencies section gets deleted'' <= Wont happen, ever. Capone.
It's staff's mistake, not people's mistake. They could make a new sub-forum AGES ago, instead of closing threads.
Most of the admins/mods are lazy, bored to move their little finger. That's what happens....
Could be as soon as today if I can't get things straightened up.
You would be surprised by how many reports the Alt Currency section generates per day, far more than the rest of the entire forum combined. I'd say about 200-300 on a non busy day, but I've seen 1,000+ on heavy traffic days. At 30 seconds to finish an action on reports that dont involve reading a page of context to decide a report's validity, you are looking at a minimum of an hour and a half worth of Alt Coin reports to deal with, thats like on a Sunday when there isn't much traffic.
managing a large forum is a thankless job, so a big thanks for this.
I appreciate the altcoin forums being hosted here as it got me into scrypt mining in the first place. however long they stay here, i'm happy to read and participate.
However, the conduct and signal:noise is completely different in the altcoin subfora than the rest of the site. The useless crap that's spewing out of this forum means i can't even read the altcoin forum anymore for information, which is why i came here in the first place. I can only imagine what users that have been here for years think about the shitty spam-spewing altcoin forum, or the shitty users that inhabit it (like me!)
lots of people in this thread should check whatever entitlement they think they have at the door. This forum has close to a quarter million members, and anybody that thinks admins that run this site are lazy or bored has lost the plot.
