Lots of shitposts and shitthreads around it of course, but there are aspects of it that'll impact BTC in a big way so it can be a relevant subject. The economic moves that are happening feel like they've been written by Satoshi.
I'd move some to economics, bin plenty of course and the rest to politics and society.
Topic: Bitcoin Discussion - Corona Virus Spamming - page 3. (Read 1035 times)
The Covid19 is a major world issue right now affecting nearly every single person right now. I suspect that over half the world population is on some kind of lockdown or restrictions because of Covid19.
I think I would suspect many threads about this topic to appear both in P&S and elsewhere (that are correctly posted).
I do wish that more would be done to fight the misinformation about Covid19. Perhaps the forum could donate an ad spot to a link to an authoritative source about good information.

Or even create a temporary COVID-19 sub section & all the crap can go in there. I love bitcoin, it’s made my life. I’m very passionate about it & this forum. It’s upsetting to see all the crap spewed all over Bitcoin Discussion (which incidentally, is supposed to be the most important & informative part of this place).
Why is very often the proposed solution to a problem here indulge the offenders? 
Any chance we can merge them all & shove them in Politics & Society? - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=34.0
They’re all boring & don’t provide any positives to actual Bitcoin Discussion.

This is how Politics & Society looks like.
Can't we merge all these threads from Bitcoin Discussion and Politics & Society into three or four meaningful threads? Even the Gambling-Section gets massively spammed with Covid-19 discussions, which mostly have nothing to do with Gambling itself or the threads posted there.

Remove the threads and ban the authors.

Those are all indeed shit-threads, but they're mostly on topic. I don't know if there's really anything you can do about them. You can try reporting them, but I have a feeling they won't be deleted.
What gets me is the seasoned members starting threads with a OP like the one below, when they could have just added that bit of useless information to the shit-tonne of other threads about Covid.
ETA: good to see you back off restriction, LFC.

This Israeli historian/philosopher figured out what the "endgame" of the "elite" will be this crisis: in short "mass surveillance"...
Just imagine what that will mean for the BTC price...

No, sending them straight to trashcan would be better. P&S is already overrun with every virus topic imaginable plus the usual conspiratards working overtime derailing other threads.
Agreed with overall sentiment but Covid-19 affecting EVERY THING and people are very diverse due to their posting habit so its makes sense in some extent though. We can call it shit posting or whatever we want but no one can't do much about it atm.
hm yes it's everywhere I also would not like to see this threads 
I just had a little look in the well known spam/shitposting part of the forum, aia Bitcoin Discussion.
This is what I discovered on page 1 (There are currently, as I type this 8 threads on pate 1 with Corona Virus in the subject title) -
Do we really need to keep allowing mindless threads about COVID-19?
It gets even worse when you read all the shitposts inside the thread.
