I brought the issue of this up in the staff board back in late 2017:
If theymos isn't going to archive this section then I think we should prohibit any articles from crypto related sites and blogs etc. The sub forum is meant for notable press hits anyway, but now it's just any old crap that vaguely mentions crypto by sig spammers that some shitty site posts. Coindesk and CryptoCoinNews etc are not noteable press hits. Any threads that are not from mainstream media should just be trashed (or the sub board is just locked). There are also some Press boards in the local subs which are easily abused by sig spammers and farmers using bots. Thoughts?
Most of us agreed that it should be locked via the poll I did:
Question: What should we do with the Press boards?
Lock/archive the entire board - 9 (75%)
Trash any non notable threads - 3 (25%)
Nothing. Carry on as is - 0 (0%)
Total Voters: 12
At the very least we should stipulate what counts as a notable Press hit as otherwise people will continue to post anything in there. I still think the board has served it's purpose though.
