I was a fairly big fan of NEOS recently but have become a bit discouraged and alarmed by the dev of this coin changing and finally locking threads here that concern this coin.

This came after the first thread was shutdown and a second moderated thread started where there was nothing but positive stated in the first thread. It made no sense then, and most certainly did not the second time.

There was no actual harassment of anyone in either thread that would justify just shutting down these threads. Heated debate? Questions? Skepticism? Absolutely. Some name calling towards the end? Yes. But constant harassment? Not a chance. This dev has actually been treated with kid gloves and much respect as crypto goes and his actions don't speak to someone with many skills in business or a respect for his investors.

For historical purposes here are the links to threads 1 and 2.

Thread 1:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=744291.0

Thread 2:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=757984.0

The purpose of this thread is simple. To give the people who invest in NEOS a place to speak their minds either to say thank you or to air their concerns. While there was some heated debate towards the end of the second thread and some name calling needed to be moderated, there was no justification for the locking of either thread. These are not the actions of a business minded dev who just pulled off a successful and lucrative ICO. They are quite alarming as most of us know where the locked threads of devs who no longer which to monitor them go, which is down to 0.00000001 Satoshi.

In full disclosure I divested my last holdings of NEOS after the second thread was locked "due to constant harassment by people wishing to do the project harm (trolling)".

That was just not true. It was more along the lines of "I can't be bothered to actually do my job as a businessman, so I will just lock the threads and hang out with my buddies in IRC".

So now there is a thread to speak without the dev's interference and there will be no moderation.

First: I was also of the opinion, that it was a mistake to lock the Thread.

But: I thought, Syntaks would lock it "forever". But in the IRC he said, that it is just until V2 is released.

And: His reason is very understandable. There were some guys constantly fudding the Thread and making pressure. His intention is probably very "simple": He will answer all the question and also the silly FUD with quality-development instead time-stealing debates. He already proved that he is very industrious - all the time coding. He also proved transparency. He is everytime helpful and 24/7 on IRC, answering questions and informing the community about the progress. Nearly everyday he announces Updates. New Homepage, added to Mintpal V2, Multipool in the works, V2 is coming.

Everybody just should look at his Posts or on Twitter or YouTube or join the IRC:

Under the line: For me, Neos is the best Project I know. It's exactly what I've searched for. And honestly, I'm nearly incapable to understand why some people sold the last days. Everybody has his own reasons, but I suspect: They are mostly uninformed and/or very impulsive. It will turn out to be mistake.
