Get rid of the Alt Coin Ann board as it is and every coin gets their own sub board there. We could maybe charge a fee for this privilege.

Don't think this suggestion will work as this will put more responsibility on the forum. We have numerous ICO/IEO launching daily and they'll all love to capitalize on this suggestion of yours which means more moderators will be required also a large number of the community members especially newbies might see this as a form of endorsement to the project with subboard dedicated to them over others that don't have, just as they saw the acceptance of Grin as a payment options.

How is it any different from the situation now? Whether we let them have their own board or not the spam and scam ICOs are still here regardless and requires no more moderation than they currently do. We could even let/make them moderate their own sections. Their spam; their problem, not ours. If we did that it would be less moderation and we shouldn't be cleaning up their mess for free anyway especially when they're the ones causing 90% of the issues in the first place.

If the forum was to go ahead with this suggestion that means they will have to moderate scam by not giving the scam projects this privilege but we all know the forum doesn't moderate scam

No it doesn't. Where are you pulling this logic from? Why are you not applying this same logic to letting them have a thread here? There's no difference between a sub board or a thread in this regard. A sub board is not a mark of legitimacy or endorsement just like having an ad slot here isn't:

"Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction."

ICO Sub boards are not endorsed or moderated by the Bitcoin Forum or Staff. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction

There you go.

Also, see your own statement:

that's why it can't be held responsible for any scam event carried out on the forum

What then happens if a project that was given a subboard turns out to be scam, this can damage the reputation of the forum. @hilariousetc can you clear me on this.

Probably the same thing that happens now. Does the current scams that are all over the Alt coin and both Marketplaces damage the reputation of the forum?
