Bitcointalk forums are integral part of crypto scene. Lots of good technical discussions here. When something bad happens (MtGox), people discuss those issues here. So a discussion taking place here holds some weight. Also an old member carries more weight naturally

Recently all this goodwill was abused. BitcoinExpress created this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=546338.0

Which is misleading to begin with as fork was planned since weeks. Then he goes on to create general FUD and is still at it. He has done the same with other coins in the past. This is not how these forums should be used. That thread is linked from multiple sources and articles and created a general fear overall.

I request the mods to atleast consider the possibility of resetting the account of BitcoinExpress to a new account, so he can never spread misinformation like this again.

mod note: topic moved from the altcoin board
