Signature campaigns
So I wanted to start out with the most obvious and worn out issue that continues to plague this forum. Signature Campaigns are advertisements plain and simple, they can buy your content and have their ad placed 300 different places for $30 a month.

Some of the campaigns are just giving the tokens so it is not worth of $30 dollar.
Whom do you think responsible for this shit show? Forum or users?
(I snipped that part but my guess is you are agreeing with users)

The marketplace

This problem has and always will be around forever, the prevalence of scamming in the online world is shocking. However, this is one of the worse forums when it comes to marketplaces. Many like the blame the moderation of the forum but that is hardly the problem.

You clearly know who is in fault here.

Misuse of trust

I often agree that 90% of the time they are scammers (and should definitely be tagged), you need to be careful. Tagging someone as a Newbie can completely ruin their chances of ever being able to have a decent experience on the forum.

Frankly speaking, whom you are considering newbies here , in reality they are seasoned scammers. From the very post they know where the lending section/other intricacies of the forum. Anybody want to have a decent experience, first need to observe things and I find very rare examples where users are really paying attention to stickies and rules.

General toxicity
Related to the all to common misuse of trust, toxicity is another huge problem I see on this forum particularly. I understand this mostly has to do with the generation of people who use this forum and the views they have, but that doesn't have to play into every conversation.

I can agree that forum suspect anybody that is new to the forum but I guess you will understand this behavior if you spend some more time here.

Lack of content, and incentive thereof

Nopes, but you need skills to find/filter the content of your need

Automatic hate towards newcomers

Rank holds too much importance

Only if you want to participate in Sig. campaigns

Lack of proper reports, moderation and initiative

I did not understand the gist of your text. Do you mean to say that "Report to Moderator" does not work?

Favoritism and entitlement

There is no favoritism. Even legendary accounts get permabanned for breaking the rules (most common plagiarism.)

Lack of updates and new integration

+1 here, Though epochtalk is in pipeline but I can agree with you till it go live.

While the lack of newcomers doesn't help the forum I think this is one of the main reasons BitcoinTalk continues to fall behind similar websites. This forum was made over a decade a go and it still looks and feels like it. Yea I kind of like the theme honestly but it's far behind contemporary websites.

Forum administration is not very much interested in generating money from the forum and that is purpose of all the forum you are describing here.

Now I will like to add few things that you did not added.
1. You can get honest opinion in this forum for free.
2.Forum is not at all biased for anything. You are free to endorse your product (if it not illegal and not breaking forum rules). Forum does not give any ratings to anybody (that most of the contemporary website do for money)

I guess , you had not spent enough time in forum and you will gradually understand things.
