There needs to be a board for people to discuss alt coins on. It was previously a great board with lots of excellent posters.

How many posts did you report on altcoin boards? That's how you claim back a board from spammers, and that's what happens to spam in Meta. I've had one post removed from this thread for instance.

Well I have reported some actually that I find when I am naturally browsing. I mean most were years ago when it was rare to see a real spam or bot. I have not really been using the alt discussion boards much but once it was the only place I posted. I had never been on the bitcoin board much nor really any other board. I was very much into the altcoin board which has sadly been hammered the most of all the boards from this latest price rally. I mean you could have 100 mods there and really it would be hard to fix it up because most posts may be low quality yet give no specific reason they can be deleted. So they just build up until like we know the good posters are drown out and stop posting ( i hope temp)

So what i am saying is even if you moved everyone that broke the rules or clearly spammed. Then you would not dent the ton of fake discussions or even the real discussions with no real value.

I have suggested before a system in meta before that would replace the negative experience of searching for negative actions and reporting them with a system where you would search for positive things and reward them. I feel you would have a better chance of preventing spam but even more importantly the low quality dilution stuff reaching the main boards with that system than removing it once it is there.

Sadly nobody liked the idea or else there were flaws in it that I did not realise.

I mean if you reported every low quality post in alt discussion it would be quite a nightmare because some are not exactly low quality enough to be spam but on the other hand many parrot the same message over and over in a slightly different way. I mean deleting them is kind of cruel because to some they may have made some effort to express themselves and to get it deleted could be genuinely like a smack in the face.

Where as if they were not singled out for deletion but merely not merited like 99% of other posts that surround them that would be easier for the mods and reporters (now called rewarders) and less disheartening for the poster that as yet is not advanced enough to make a contribution that the rewarders consider worthy of merit.

A form of decentralised noob jail renamed as junior discussion boards to me are the perfect answer with everyone less than 5? 10 or 15? merits held back from the senior discussion boards (everyone else with greater than 5 10 or 15_.
