There are a fair number of posts on BCT where the poster is confused to the point of being infuriating or even being maliciously dishonest, trying to manipulate markets or shill altcoins, or whatever.
The threads fill with other confused people while sensible people just shy away. For example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223659.0What we really need is a button that stabs someone in their motherfucking face over the internet.
But failing that, a "this is awful wtf" button that e.g. can only be pressed by users who have recieved over (say) 1000 merit and which only shows something on the post when it's been pressed at least three times, would at least be a start.
To demerit is it the only solution, I believe there is a ban to user who is not honest in BCT forum. Merit is a life time gift and I believe if this action is introduced to the forum definitely wrong people will use it for the act of wickedness if they get little offended in their emotions, and best way they will want to cool down is to demerit for no reason or any little mistake.
