Hi,
Thanks for your responses and clarification. Would a response to a query about the pool in the actual Alt-Coin thread be also considered as spam (for example "Your pool is not paying out" - when a response about coinbase maturity times is needed).
Best option would be to direct them to the proper place to ask their question, your dedicated thread in mining.
I presume that the correct way then now would be to PM the coin op/dev with the pool details and let them update their OP?
Yes.
