Warm welcome to the forum; the first sight of your announcement thread is really cool. I hope the service of your platform will be really cool too. I just won't agree with your explanation regarding the self-moderated announcement thread. The announcement thread is treated like a public discussion thread. So users will share their experience on this thread. And you shouldn't moderate it anyway. Discussion would go positive or negative about your platform. If it went negative, how do we know you haven't deleted it? I know there would be some spam; if it's pure spam, you can report it to moderators. They will handle it accordingly.
Thanks a ton for the warm welcome and for taking the time to share your thoughts!!! Much appreciated! 🙌
You’re absolutely right: an announcement thread should be a place for open discussion, both good and bad. No arguments there.
If we’re being 100% transparent (which we always aim to be), we’ll admit it: we made the thread self-moderated by mistake. We were launching in turbo mode and ticked the wrong box - classic rookie move. Unfortunately, once it’s set, it can’t be changed back. My mistake, and hopefully nobody from my management will see this, but I've been a bitcoin maximalist for years and now I've landed a job working on this forum... I was upset

But rest assured: we’re committed to using it properly. None of the genuine posts (not spam) will be touched. Negative reviews won’t get deleted. In FACT, they help us improve and fix things on our side faster.
So please, keep the feedback coming. Good, bad, or spicy! It’s all welcome here! 🌶️
