Most probably, yes. Why would anyone join any forum only to post in Off-topic? I can think of many reasons to join Bitcointalk, just not this.
Well I'm here few days, why do you think that I will post just in offtopic?
Maybe I have a lot of knowledge which I can share in te future.
Before the Merit system, Off-topic was used by account farmers to "build accounts". Somehow some Newbies still don't know that's futile.
I don't care about merit, even I didn't read what they are all about.
It's a honey pot to keep the serious boards free from spam.
Then just avoid that section if you don't like it.
I haven't seen this on any forum other than Bitcointalk: you don't go to a specialized forum to discuss something that belongs on another specialized forum, if you can go to the correct forum to start with. Even better: why would you join the wrong forum if it charges you $20 for your account
?
I don't have electric car but like to discuss about them.
Maybe I have a lot of money and just spent in randomly?
Well if that thread is allowed here, that's mean that I'm not on wrong forum, most of forums have place where you are allowed to talk about everything, same story with this forum.
I was spent time to check that spam profiles and I can agree that most of them are just maked for spam, but anyway some of them are ok for me, but I'm not here to make decision who will stay who will not, and doesn't wanna involve myself into that, reason why I'm here because someone was link my profile and talk crap about that, so I feel that I have to include myself into that and make discussion.
