I am not sure what you experienced but I am sure this information is not correct.
Evidence lacking for "this information is not correct." statement
To be fair, what I think tranthidung was disputing was specifically your assertion here, which you didn't provide evidence for either:
hich somehow I doubt, given how long he's been a member and despite the inactive periods), the quality issue wouldn't even be a blip on his radar.
@stoat made the argument without any evidence to support his feeling of what he experienced. I shown him data of forum activities exclusively spamming activities over the years but he did not want to absorb this information and keep continuing his non-sense complaint.
The drop of activities in the forum since 2018 is because of merit system (that destroy spammers, prevent them to rank up so that most of them stop spamming or leave the forum) and the bear market.
I'll only accept discussion with accounts aged 2015 or earlier.
That's cute. Now tell me, what have you contributed to Bitcointalk?
A quick look at his post history since the merit system kick off (December 2018) is mostly one- or two-lined posts and mostly in altcoin boards. I don't consider all of his posts are spam but most of them are not deserved to get merit.
