In my opinion, self-moderated topics are a great feature of Bitcointalk for many reasons, for example:

- managing a Service and preventing trolls from flooding it
- great for the Gambling section, where so much spam can be prevented if OP is knowledgeable in the sport and can delete spam from Gambling spammers who have no clue about the sport
- preventing extra work for moderators, removing spam quickly
- setting up unique self-moderated rules to improve posting quality for example as long as these self-moderated rules do not violate the official rules and are resonable

There are much more probably. The forum is very big and self-moderation is a great feature.


But recently in our German section, Unknown01 attacked me like a troll by calling me "mentally ill person" Roll Eyes because I'm trying to improve posting quality on Bitcointalk.
In addition, Unknown01 alleged that:

By the way, I would be in favor of banning self-moderated topics and if you don't like the community here, please leave our board.

What's your opinion about this?
Considering Unknown01 and his past of shady abuses, such a suggestion is just showing how limited his knowledge about the forum really is.

I'm completely against what Unknown01 suggested because self-moderation is vital in my opinion. We should not ban it.
Removing this feature would be insanely sad and affect the forum very negatively in my opinion.

So, what's your opinion? Self-moderation to get banned or to stay?  Smiley
Do you have more points, why self-moderation is a beneficial feature for Bitcointalk?
Looking forward to your replies.  Smiley
