Taken in a vacuum you would almost tend to sympathize with the crocodile tears being shed by the dev for his moderation efforts.
You have to realize however, for the ones complaining about the deleted posts, this is a mode of operation that they have become used to through the running of their own site. At Btc-e they host a chat that is strictly monitored. Any mention of specific coins that they dislike, like Doge, or sites they dislike like Cryptsy most often leads to a ban of a week or more. They shroud this in not wanting talk of competing coins, but the moderation really only applies to the few pet peaves that they have, and an occasional 1 hour ban for others to add believability. Their default behavior is to censor so that their own propaganda can be heard above all else. It seems that the real solution would be to start other threads that they can't delete the posts on. Negative press is negative press, and if you have 100 threads screaming about the failure of the coin, its much more effective then posts 100 pages into the announcement.
The real irony is that they rail against Doge in particular for being premined, and a joke. Then at the same time they release a premined coin. Whatever the basis of that premine is. I don't really feel that a pre-mine is a horrible thing. All currency is pre-mined, I can't be mad that Joe Bob got ahead i the game, when he got there first. As long as there is 'enough' fairness, thats all there really needs to be. Still, there is some real hypocrisy involved here when they consistently deride other coins premine, and then one of their own releases a coin that so loudly touts its use of that tool.
Well stated!
Pretty typical of Koolio, not expected from Bumface though.
