How's the spam been? The forum basically became virtually unusable at a certain point. The noise to signal ratio was 100:1 at best.

If you claim such a ratio in the past, I would put the current one at 1000:1 or even at 10000:1. The only solution is to follow specific users and specific discussions. For example, you could follow this user around. If you just browse boards and open random threads, you will have a very bad time.

A real user who is interested in bitcoin and it's possibilities/uses will always believe there is use for this forum. Spam has nothing to do with a person's interest in this forum or bitcoin. Click the ignore button or scroll past what you believe is a spammer and don't let them ruin your experience here.

Would you want to read a book with 500 pages that is divided like this: there are 499 pages that are complete trash and there is valuable content summing up to a single page? To make matters worse this content is scattered around in fragments throughout the 500 pages. That's the situation here. One has to waste a lot of time trying to find valuable content to read, and even more time to find something valuable to respond to.

As long as user will have the privilege of monetization opportunity, there will be spam for sure. No matter how hard the mods act.

The moderation against low quality posts here is as good as a well oiled HR department. Cheesy
