Wow. For the guys suggesting one post per thread, how exactly do you expect us to enforce that? There is no easy way to see how many times someone has posted in a particular thread. Even looking through the post history won't work because you can easily change the subject of a post to hide what thread you're posting in, not to mention that's too time consuming. Also all you'd have to do is delete the old post, since mods can't see deleted posts (and I suspect more than one of you who suggested this knew that).
And yes, you guys are right when listing the problems inherent with using this forum as the sole source of information about an altcoin, along with a thousand other coins. Which is the reason people spam in the first place, because there is no specific board for mining a particular coin, or for services for a coin, or whatever else. The only real answer is to setup coin specific forums, any serious coin will do this. The rest are pump and dumps, or scams that won't be around long enough, and we aren't going to cater to them. We won't setup coin specific boards here either. Spamming is a crutch people have used to get around these limitations, and it's getting out of hand.
Sure, agreed, it'll be impossible to enforce one post per thread. Why not allow a single line of text though?
http://new.chickenstrips.net is up and hashing.That shouldn't shit up the threads as much. I think the graphics and logos are stupid anyway, I don't think any of the other pools would care either if you said: "no pictures, one line of text, don't spam, or your ass is banned"
An overwhelming majority of people think this new rule is too draconian, they actually want the information from the pool ops etc. No one gives a shit about logos and pictures, that's spam and I agree it's annoying.
