Let's try and contain it there and report those who break the rules.
If the role of the Press board is now "contain the spammers", then all the more reason to rename it as I originally suggested.
quit criticizing those who do put forth an honest effort.
You have an exceptionally low bar for what constitutes "honest effort" if you are quite happy to include in that definition repeatedly copy and pasting someone else's work without a single original thought or comment.

Locking these threads doesn't make the Press board any more readable though, and you still have to search through all this trash to find meaningful threads. And it also does nothing to disincentivize the spammer in question, since he still gets paid for spamming for CoinTelegraph. And without any actual enforcement and bans from higher up, then you will eventually get bored of reporting the same user literally hundreds of times, as has happened to plenty of other people posting in this thread. I don't mean to discourage you, but this is not a long term solution.
I will be locking this thread in a couple of days. With still no response at all from theymos in this thread or via PM, it is clear nothing is going to change. There is no point wasting our time discussing changes which will never happen.
