I PMed theymos they day I opened this thread, explaining in more detail the issues with the Press board and linking to this thread. I have had no response, which I can only assume means he is content with the current situation. Given that, and that we have also had no response in this thread or any of the many previous threads about the Press board, there is probably no point in us continuing to push to try to clean the board up.

I remain confused why we are happy to let spammers run bitcointalk in to the ground and push away good users and good discussion in the name of free speech. I will continue to always defend free speech, but there is a very obvious different between protecting controversial thoughts and ideas and allowing utter spam to ruin the forum.
