Those posts aren't against the rules. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean people can't speak their minds. If you reported those posts, I would have checked to see if the person was creating threads/posting to up their post count, if not, it would have been left alone.

Mods won't close the old spreadcoin topic until the OP asks, you can't just ask to have someone else's thread locked, Grue told the OP of that thread exactly what to do

I think my advice to you at this point since you aren't getting it, is to make your own forums where you can censor people as you wish, we just aren't really into that. Spam != people you disagree with.

For example, I will participate in an ico/ipo and buy some shares. After I will sell this shares and gain 20-30% more of bitcoin. At the end no one care about altcoin, the final coin that all want is BTC.

Another way to stop the life is to simply stop making worthless breathes.

@OP,


None of this is needed.

The "altcoin wars" thing is highly exaggerated.

Sure, there are some immature people but by far and large most aren't.

Just use the ignore feature.

Free speech is what is needed to prevent scammers, not censorship.

Uhhhh.... no. The majority of users value their privacy above all other things. Just self moderate your threads if its an issue.

email verification makes it more difficult for people to operate anon. The ability to be anon is very highly valued. A more difficult captcha is going to be more difficult for legit users.

If your altcoin has actual potential/value then over the long term people will see that and will ignore the trolls.

You have self moderated threads which allows the OP to delete unwanted posts. However most self moderated threads that are active in deleting critical posts are scams, this would only make it easier for scams to be successful.

The most common legit reason why OP's of self moderated threads delete posts is because they are spam. It would be possible for the same person who spammed a thread to later make a legit post with good points.

All threads are moderated, just not self moderated

2) people can create own topic in the altcoin discussion section and discuss it without moderation

When someone is deleting posts on a self moderated thread (and they are scamming) then people often are going to post their warnings a second time (and subsequent times as necessary).

This would really not work anyway because people could just create an additional account when they get banned from posting in it

I don't think this would work very well. It would prevent people from expressing legitimate concerns about your altcoin.

we have free speech.

This.

Announcements (Altcoins) is a jungle. You'd need three full time mods just to handle that board.
