Although 99.9% of alt coins are stupid or outright scams, I think they should have a place. Alt coins can be a hedge against any entity that thinks it could crush bitcoin. Any serious attempt to do so would just result in the ascendancy of another coin.
My problem is that it has become almost impossible to sort through the dozens of script-kitty announcements that junk up the forums. There has to be a way to do both.

Could we:

• Allow blocking of some areas? kinda  like an ignore list for forum sections.
• Keep posts in the alt section from showing in the recent posts list?
• Set up another related/linked domain for alts? altcointalk.org is available.
• Other?
