The ANN altcoin section has increasingly become a cesspool of useless shitcoins and scams (more than ever, it's more problematic now then it was 2-6 years ago). Mods are virtually inactive there, only reliant on users to report to the admins themselves. Many users are reposting notable coin ANNs in hopes of scamming/luring the naive and unsuspecting user.


Break up the ANN Altcoin section into 3 categories:

1) POW/POS/100% Airdrop distributed coins and all distributions that have nothing to do with sales.

2) ICO/IEO/STO section (Blockchain Mainnets) - pertaining to any crypto/blockchain that has a sale associated with it. These are mainnet blockchains.

3) ICO/IEO/STO (Smart Contracts/DApps) (Tokens section enforcing). Therefore any coins getting posted to ICO/IEO/STO section, that are not mainnet launching or swapping to native chain, get placed in tokens section. Any type of smart contract, from ERC to NEP, DAPP or w/e. Tokens/Dapps and etc.


4) Hire more mods and enforce sectional divide, include more rules and restrictions. For example, ICO/IEO/STO section rule for displaying who's behind the project/conducting the sale. The POW/Mining/POS/100% free distributed coins don't need this enforcement, but will require heavier user intervention.

5) Users who are newbie or even JR. rank should not be allowed to post in ICO/IEO/STO threads/Forums. This will hurt some, but will prevent the majority of botted/puppet accounts bumping threads, creating mass spam.



This is a really simple framework, but the problem is that ANN section leads to the large portion of the altcoin section. Token section is used, but highly avoided. Bring back dignity to ANN Altcoins, all it takes is some mod intervention, a few new rules and willingness for the community to help.


Add anything else you'd like to see, or how you'd organize it. I quickly put this thread together to begin the discussion.
