And that's why I usually have the altcoin section and Bitcoin Discussion on ignore, because I don't have the patience to weed through a bunch of nonsense in order to find posts worthy of merits. And believe me, I've tried.
Just to attest to this, I'm the exact opposite. I ignore all the
quality sections to scour for spam. Altcoin Discussion and
Trading Discussion are goldmines if you want useless replies!
sirminesalot was the initial bumper from what I seen last night. After his initial post in came the load of posters following him. The problem is I would still say all the users who quoted the OP of the thread and replied are to blame. These users did not take the time to read any replies. They just quoted the OP and made a post then moved on. The ones who replied to those users, maybe not so much.
Quoting the OP and not bothering to read other replies in the thread prior to themselves replying would qualify as a junk or spammy post.
Like I said:
Anyone who is unwilling to read the context of the post isn't posting for the sake of the discussion. Rather, they are posting for the sake of the signature.
