Agreed. I gave up reporting in that board - there is only so many times I can report the same 5 or so accounts over and over and over and over and over and over before I want to stick forks in my eyes. If we aren't going to ban the obvious bots and chronic spammers then there is no point keeping the board open since it is simply used for free advertising by these low quality blogs and "news" sites.

Either assign a moderator to clean it up properly or just close it. Because whatever we are doing at the moment clearly isn't working.

A lot of us think the same and have asked the same but nothing has been done, and to make things worse every single piece of semi-important news gets about 10 topics in bitcoin discussion and at least one in economics and in speculation. Unfortunately at this point, that board is almost useless, all that is good for it is to scan the titles and use it as RSS feed.

Oh, and speaking of moderating that board, I have an opinion that might really be unpopular (for spammers), assign frodocooper
to it...and grab some popcorn. Grin

It's one of the rare sections of the forum not to be infested with shitposts where we can get a 'normal' discussion, unfortunately, the moderation is inexplicable.

I am glad that I am not the only one. From the looks of it, Press section could be revamped in a day. EASILY. no shot.

Temp-ban spammers, with irrelevant links, and pin a thread with new guidelines for the board. Allow users to post links only from sites like coindesk etc. Assign a moderator for that board, and until then let a global mod handle it. Us users can report the crappy threads and clean it. It is very doable imo.
