Has it lost its purpose for new projects? New posts announcements don't even go to the first page. They are pushed to the second page the second you post them where no one can see them.
In addition to @

Bumping changes on some boardsThe rules state no auto replies or paid replies for ANN threads and bounties yet there are tons in the token announcement area.
Have you tried reporting them?
Looking at projects on the first page you can clearly see bought and paid for replies. Are moderators being paid off to overlook these?
Nope, and they're also not robots! It's not fair to expect they'd be able to moderate every single post out there, there's only so much they could do.
