I'm not going to post too many times in this thread, but I did see your posts and the thread you started in Serious Discussion and wanted to address this.  I supported--sort of--the Yobit campaign, and I was probably in the minority in doing so but I do think Theymos made the correct call on this.  A campaign run like that is just out of place today on bitcointalk, and I don't want to party like it's 2015. 

It isn't communism.  This is a private forum and isn't bitcoin itself, where decentralization is far more important.  It's a discussion forum and to remain useful there has to be some centralized leadership with a leader who possesses a sense of discipline, which I think Theymos has shown here.  The forum can't just descend into total anarchy because of a single signature campaign or any number of them. 

I'd be happy if Yobit restarted a campaign that resembled other successful ones.  I'd also be happy if they made some improvements in their own business which could restore their reputation.  It never was sparkling, but it needs a makeover and they need to treat their customers better.  But besides that, at the bare minimum they need to not create a campaign structure that promotes spamming, which is exactly what went on in the past few days.  Again, it was a good move on Theymos's part to put the brakes on it before it grew any more out of control than it did.
