You know how people ask you to put coins on the exchange? Well, I'm going to do the opposite.
Please do NOT add Gascoin, Spots, Cryptobits, and Cloudcoin.
Gascoin is ecologically irresponsible, as the orphan rate because of four second block times will be absurd. The electricity wasted and thus its contribution to all-things-global-warming will be substantial. It's an argument Cryptsy cannot win if they tried to justify accepting Gascoin. FST, WDC, and DGC already push the limit...
Because the dev of Spots is the same as Gascoin, and since Spots has a sizeable premine/dev tax, I refuse to support Spots by default. Bad reputation should stand for something and we should draw the line by not accepting these criminal losers as part of the cryptocoin community.
Cryptobit was announced in a truly shady manner. They were announced on a dead forum then, by mere chance or collaboration, someone not part of the dev team decided to post a announcement thread in this forum. And when the point is brought up about their strategic use of a dead forum to instamine/premine their own coin, the devs of CYB feign ignorance. This type of shady behavior should be punished.
Another coin I won't support is Cloudcoin. Date was scheduled and devs decided to secretly launch much earlier, essentially creating an instamine situation for themselves. A quick look at cryptometer.org shows well over 90% of all coins currently in existence was mined in the first two hours. Moreover, the dev of Cloudcoin (ahmed_bodi) has some morally questionable beliefs: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255361.msg2725066#msg2725066
I commend Cryptsy for having the guts to adopt altcoins, and I'm happy for their growth. But there needs to be a line drawn so that criminals and bad practices are punished instead of being rewarded.

This is a strange way of saying I haven't mined these yet so don't put them on the exchange until I can mine a ton of them.
Let the MARKET DECIDE what coin has merit or not! Nobody knows all details about all coins. Look at the reactions to your absurd allegations. You try to use the moral high ground to leave out competition from your coin or your favorite coin. Come on! Stop pretending. All coins with a viable network should eventually make it to an exchange and all should trade against BTC. Let the market decide what has merit and what the price should be. Cryptsy's method of slowly adding coins is a good one, how they rank coins may be arbitrary but so what. Add the coins however they like but eventually they should add all viable coins.

Denouncing coins before trying them 'cause the orphan rate will be absurd' and using inflammatory words like 'Global-Warming' is kinda childish to me as well as wrong. Of *ALL* the coins on the market today, there is only 1 that I can see has value in what it produces, and it's not just a 'contribution to all-things-global-warming', so if that is your arguement, let's trash *ALL* of these electricity wasting coins that are causeing global warning. Bitcoin should be the first one tossed for global warming if that is your arguement! Check it out:
http://blockchain.info/stats clearly shows that estimated power usage is 4,290.33 MEGA WATTS costing $643,549.55 to produce $421,364.93 worth of coins. I know, I know, you're going to bleat ASIC's and power reduction and blah de blah blah, but it's still a valid point. Bitcoin likely has more electricity usage than all the other coins combined. So, now how do you feel about getting rid of 'global warming causing' coins?
