We really could use some fresh blood in the moderation department.

Who has time to monitor the millionth person claiming to be Satoshi or claiming to own extremely valuable yada yada,
besides the spammers and scammers.

lol

Wot. AFAIK Satoshi claims aren't moderated here and narcissism is baseline activity.

Not even scammers are moderated.

Just spammers basically. Shouldn't be too hard of a job one would think.

I am complaining I can’t see new users coming in. And while I do agree newer (younger) user might be prone to short attention span, I refuse to think we cannot engage a few thousands people all over the world interested in bitcoin to write a merit worth post monthly in this forum.
This is what worries me the most: a community not able to engage new members is eventually going to die.
And I think that day it would be a sad one.

I think this community in its current state is not very welcoming for new members and that will effect the amount of people are register but also the people who do register might not want to engage out of fear of hostilities. I am not branding the whole community as being unwelcoming because there are definitely people out there that make it like their goal to welcome new members into the community but overall I do think there is a problem there even if it is the minority. The only way we are going to correct that is by more senior members correcting their behaviors.

I totally agree with what you're saying. There has to be a change in the manner which the upper ranks engage newbies. There is boundless information to learn here and it is impossible to know everything at once. Its true there are a lot of spammers who have bad intentions. But please don't label every newbie the same. I think its more effective to treat newbies are like children understanding the time, patience and training that is needed for them to grow run. Sometimes I think every one is too serious and uptight. This is a forum of crypto lovers. Why can't we just have fun?
