How about we just make another subforum for altcoin services? Then people can post a thread to their pool and just update it whenever they add a new coin.
sounds good...

Mod: Can we announce when the pool is up and running with the source?, this allows miners to know which pool to choose from at launch.
Also, can we answer miner's questions that usually come up in the thread directed to each of us?

Yeah, that sounds fair. Dev's might not have time to update the OP or they maybe offline at the moment. Mod, how about only 1 pool advertising per thread?
BadBear, you should clarify this a bit more. Pool advertising is permited entirely exept only a single post and that't the end? Of pool opperators can still advertise through signatures for example?

Getting added to the OP by requesting the devs via PM is a joke. It happens maybe 50% of the time, and never quickly.
Not our problem. If a dev wants his coin to succeed he will do everything possible to make sure he does have the pool list included. If he can't be bothered to do that then why would anyone want to bother with it?
So if a pool owner posts his pool in a thread... he will get banned?? 
How about limiting that post too 1 in each announcement thread?
Im really sorry I have too say this... But this is NOT the priority you should be looking at right now with all those scamcoins around these days..
People lose money everyday over scams...
But instead of helping the community, by setting stricter rules for coin announcements on here... you worry about poolowners who advertise their pools...
I really cant understand this... Sorry

Remove scamcoins? Ok. *deletes alt currencies*
What sanctions? Imagine, I can create an account and spam ads of competitors.
We can press one button and ban an account, and remove all it's posts automatically. I don't think it's going to be a problem.

That's part of what prompted this, now it's fair for everyone, instead of some arbitrary rules that nobody is going to remember. Besides, this isn't some special rule just for alt currencies, when is the last time you saw a bitcoin mining pool advertising outside of Mining>Pools? Alt currencies has always received less moderation than the rest of the forum, and probably always will, but the pool spam is crazy and we're tired of dealing with the spam generated.

You gotta be kidding, right?
What's next?
What's next?
Next FUD will be banned, and every thread will have one page.
That would be kinda nice, actually.
First giveaways, now they forbid to pool OPs to advertise their service in the topics, while 12 year olds make 100 accounts to spread FUD and insult people.
I neither agree or disagree re pools bc I don't mine any more...
But OP has a point. BCT allows has ignored all calls for moderation of altcoin sub-forums and this is the first thing to bring into action? I'd say the pressing issue is multiple accounts and serial scammers more so than the pools clogging up threads with "spam".
Whatever happened to the rule where you couldn't post with a new account until a certain threshold of time and/or newbie introduction?
Very true, it is difficult to police, and I wouldn't even know what to recommend as a solution because any mod would go nuts with the altcoins section of BCT.
No matter the reason, it's a great sign some of the lawlessness is being swept up. As I said I'm on the fence with pool advertising as I don't mine. But it's as good a place as any to start cleaning up so I (we?) appreciate the gesture.
yes but scammers coins over the last month we earned 1.78 dollars
it scares
it scares
mining pools that charge zero fees are the best
cool
that of 10 coins in the best case 2 is not a Scam! nobody cares (and those 2 are not in a human way to start!!!!!) I spend my time and power, and people spend their money is also no interest. Yes Yes Yes let those think about the flood in the topics!!!! and not about the money spent on the rental of facilities, servers, electricity. I'm tired add coins extracted up to 2 days and then cunt coin!!!
sorry for my English

Advertising mining pools is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, altcoin announcement threads. Mining pool ops should make one thread within the Mining section of Alt Currencies. Do not make a separate thread for each coin. Most OP's already link to pools available so advertising your pool is unnecessary and leads to too much spam.
How the Hell do you intend for people to find pools to mine the coins with, if not in the OP I quote you .. maybe you mistyped what you actually mean "Advertising mining pools is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, alt coin announcement threads." So a new coin cannot have links to the pools for their coin is what that says ... I wonder if it's just not clearly written because you go on to contradict your self here with "Most OP's already link to pools available so advertising your pool is unnecessary and leads to too much spam. "
So can we have some clarification to this.... otherwise I think it's time to community found a new forum to work from ... .... .... damn nazi's
Yes, listing available pools in the OP is fine.
That's cool as long as it's allowed to be listed in the OP. Some pools over advertise and it just adds way too many pages to a thread.
I think it's fair to block the AD

If u want to stop clutter, stop allowing creation of new coin, ipo's...This creates more spam than anything.

That would be a bit too drastic - this forum does proud itself on freedom of speech. Limiting which coins can be accepted, would leave a lot of room for moderator abuse.
Well what of the requirements that used to be in action where newbie accounts were restricted.
I would wholeheartedly endorse doing something because this isn't a community and it's all altcoins are being traded against bitcoin.
I'd love to be able to read altcoin announcements without newbie accounts spamming support. I'd love to be able to put reputation against coin projects.
The problem here is multiple accounts and not so much pool operators.
All of the hubris and buzz surrounding ANNs is bought up like with USBcoin, which leads to sore losers threatening Bittrex with FBI investigations. Can you imagine the outcome of looking into logs of BCT and finding the IPs showing mass collusion by serial scammers with nothing whatsoever on place to stop the schemes?
I'm not asking for censorship. I'm asking for checks and balances stopping multiple accounts. It's like a gypsy marketplace here and all from clogged up posts by alias newbie accounts.
I understand your reasoning with pools mprep, but
newbie accounts are the issue
Presumably then any other coin based services need to follow the same rules.
This means:
Exchanges
Gambling Sites
Other Services
All of which profit from the "free service" provided. Many of which also "spam" threads.
PM Coin OP for post in OP thread. Create on post in appropriate sub-forum (marketplace for exchanges maybe?)
Also, posts by "shills" advertising a pool (ie "really hopepool was here") should be classed as spam, and attempts to circumvent the rules also.

pool owners have their pool in their sig. If they just do a normal post like 'setting up a pool, will see what this coin turns out to' in the topic, It's probably not considered as spam. Problem solved.

This is better than hurt eyes with big size font etc.
