I didn’t check that board for a long time. If I'm correct, it was almost a year ago when I last checked and the board haven’t changed at all.
I don't think I've looked at Press in well over 4 years, and honestly I forgot that section even existed until just now. Lol. And to think that I get 99.9% of my crypto news from this forum. You'd think I'd leave a section like that un-ignored, but nope. It ought to be one of the best ones, but just like Bitcoin Discussion it's turned into a travesty of what it's supposed to be.
Not having seen what's going on in Press, I can't attest to how spammy it's become as of late, but I tend to believe Leo when he says it's pretty bad.
I mean, there are a bunch of boards across the forums with inactive moderators who have not logged in for years. There is no doubt they should at least be removed, if not replaced.
I get the sense the positions are more ceremonial or honorary these days. A 'preserved for posterity' kinda deal. This place likes its history.
That's unfortunate, and why is it that this forum, with all the money it has at its disposal, can't afford to pay a sufficient number of moderators to keep boards like Press and all of the other spam pits clean and shiny? If a mod has gone inactive, I'm pretty sure there are at least 3-5 members who'd jump at the chance to be a mod--and I'd imagine that Theymos has a mental list of members he'd consider, so why are sections allowed to go unmoderated? I just don't get it.
