I'm trying to compile a list of forums and communities where such posts are more welcome. This is even what badbear suggested. Hop in and give me your suggestions.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=725376.msg8195945#msg8195945

Are you certain about this, Alani?
I doubt Theymos would be happy to hear that.
Bitcointalk relies on the traffic generated by the altcoin forum. I would be surprised if Theymos would willingly allow this traffic to go elsewhere.

No it does not rely on the traffic from this forum. This part of the forum is utter garbage with 95% (at least) being useless, I'm not even going to mention the number of coins that are being released for pump and dumb/scamming attempts.
I wonder just if the section was removed entirely, how much less spam/work there would be for the moderators.
There would not even be a need for such strict rules as this one. After all it is called bitcointalk.org

Of course it does. Don't be naive. You only need to look at the posts volume to make an estimate.
And the section won't be removed anytime soon. It's too valuable.
You would do well to get down from your high horse and start to appreciate what alternative coins bring to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.
Yes, there are bad eggs, but the fault lies more with the forum for refusing to impose even the most basic vetting requirements to weed them out.
The environment is fertile for scams. The forum administrators and moderators have dropped the ball here, as many have pointed out in recent months.
