I thought people would be more open minded here given the mindset behind being an early adopter, apparently it's just as full of trolls as the rest of the Internet.

There are about 3 or 4 regular Trolls on here and they are very active.

The main Troll sponsor and poster is Mirceau Popescu - he runs a bitcoin exchange called MPEx. Anything and everything that could draw coin away from his site is Trolled. It doesn't matter how valid the proposition or company, he and his goons will Troll it.
Without them here you could have a sensible debate and present your case but it turns to delinquency when they are around and before you know it your thread is a joke.

If you are passionate about this you could try again with a self-moderated thread and monitor and delete Troll posts. It will work eventually.
Personally I don't see why you need to raise BTC - this to me seems to be a FIAT business. Sure there could be a community here willing to back a music festival but you need a fairly self-modded thread to build trust and have a discussion.

People on here are grown adults and despite what the Trolls claim to be acting for (to warn people off scams) the guys on here are old enough to make their own decisions after having and reading the debate. Ofcourse the Trolls are not here to protect anyone apart from themselves and their failing MPEx. With a CEO about to be arrested and extradited who could blame users of MPEx from jumping ship.

great idea, thanks!
i'll get on that soon
i have had a bit of constructive input from a few sr members via private message, ill implement all of it in my second approach and self mod to delete these mindless ignorant posts

thanks!
