As for moderated vs. unmoderated threads, the main issue is S/N-ratio. It's possible to buy sockpuppet work for $0.12-$0.20 per message. Just to take an example, NewLiberty posts here and the opportunity cost for him to write these messages is certainly about $100. It is possible to inundate his reasonable and insightful messages below a pile of junk at a price much cheaper than it is for him to write them. This is an economic attack which wears down the good posters so that in the end only the junk remains.

(self)Moderation is a way to mitigate it. If you feel your contribution is not welcome, you can refrain from posting into such threads and do not lose anything. NewLiberty's readers gain by not needing to wade through the pile of junk when they are interested mainly in NewLiberty's contribution and the insightful responses to it.

I suggest you open your own private forum for you and your supporters to enjoy "insightful" discussions free from this "pile of junk" (as you call it) all the users with differing opinions post here. This way you can enjoy "clean" discussions with your supporters and fans while giving this place relief of the Monero invasion at the same time. It would also cause you less work as you wouldn't have to delete/censor half of the posts in your threads. How about that? Your current approach basically screams for the trolls to come and troll against "the great self-proclaimed teacher" imho.

smart point i see what your getting at.

i don't care so much who posts what here as WHAT itself is posted.
i will agree or disagree with anyone whether i like them or not.. i come here to discuss altcoins not use this as a hang out.
and many of us just go with it..
some of see each other talk and we don't necessarily agree with everything each other says..
for example, there has been the odd thing say BitcoinExpress or Kelsey has said i don't fully agree with but it's 100% perfectly fine..
we come here to share ides and to hash out some discussions about coins.. derailing things into personal matters is pointless bullshit.

i respect people that can handle a conversation not the ones who like me.. i don't care who likes me and that works both ways of course.
we don't have to agree and we don't have to get along but we need to try and ease up on the back stabbing and trolling and lying to defend bag holding coins.
see what i said in response here to the guys point ?
i don't think people get what i say most of the time they have a very superficial fleeting understanding of what is going on.
my response here relates to what was said.. i am staying ON-TOPIC lol

i say stuff as walls of text so i can be specific and not vague in case people are curious?
and i thank the guy earlier who said something in my defence..
thank you for trying to get the underlying message in my comments (not the tone or reading in between the lines)
all i see is this stuff as way of sharing your opinions.

and i always encourage others to share theirs and please do be passionate about it.. let's hear it.. speak up and take part in things
