The real problem is that it isn't specific posts that are overly offensive. Some of them just wreck the conversation by posting more junk than discussion. This is a good example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41019.0I'm not sure at what point I would report that. 1 or 2 jokes, ok, but it's pages and pages, and most aren't even funny. You have to look hard for real contributions.
My god that's a mess. I don't even know what to do with that at this point.
When you want to report a derailed thread, report the post that it starts at and mention that the whole rest of the thread has issues.
That's why I said we could use a regular mod in that section. I'd have to report every other post for trolling.
I agree. While I do check in there every few days when I feel like deleting something, things are really out of hand. However, it'll be hard to find someone that doesn't have a bias toward any particular alternatitive cryptocurrencies that regularly posts there. We can't just make the various *coin developers mods because that'd be a mess. It'll be even harder to find someone that also meets the standards for being a mod.
