It looks bad that they shut down the thread, however, if you were part of the team and every other post was someone bringing up one of the FIVE FUD topics from the mainboard, and ontop of that the majority of them being trolls who keep returning when XC is in turmoil, then yes I would have done the same thing. It can be reopened at any time, but as of this moment, the team cannot control the thread well enough under BTC talk forums. Thread bans still didnt mean anything as trolls would still come back and FUD. if you want to promote positive discussion and dont come off as a jackass whose intent is to FUD, then you will have all your questions answered at

This is hilarious.

Notice that those who don't have totalitarian rules in their moderated threads don't get as much negative press? Try to control free speech and people start digging.

u want to know what is hilarious. As soon as new fud was released last night a mysterious 40 BTC entered the buy order book. Take whatever you want from it, you're free to believe what you choose to, but there is clear manipulation happening here regardless of whether some of the statements have even the slightest bit of authenticity

I can confirm there is manipulation going on, some users are actively creating new accounts in the attempt to deceive the holders into selling at lower prices with negative press.

Also, non-moderated threads are by far the worst. Darkcoin's thread is the perfect example. 80% of all posts on that thread are Negative/Deceptive/Lies/FUD. There again were users deceiving others with lies into selling Darkcoin(Before the historic pump). Same goes for Bitcoindark's previous Supernet to which users also started FUD to get in at cheap prices.

Lesson is: Don't believe anyone telling you to "sell", especially with a solid development plan.
