I understand why you feel you need a moderated thread. But it is always best to have a open discussion, most cons that have self moderated threads do so, to 'hide facts'. I am in no way saying this is why you have chosen to be moderated, i am just saying, moderation is not the way forward.
We have ignore buttons here, people should use them more and not reply to troll posts. I personally have learned the hard way to stay away from investing in coins with a moderated thread.
But clearly in this case, it is different due to all of the openness. It would be really great, if you got Coins Source to give you a trust score also. I am sure you guys would get 7 out of 7 stars.
We can have open discussions here. "Ignore button" only helps you but not the new users or anyone else for that matter. We didn't need to flip thru 20+ pages of pure spam and fud.
As a newcomer, I sure as heck would not like to have to go thru that as well. The old thread will continue to run as the ARCHIVE.
The GOOD things is, the old thread shows how we've been OPEN since the beginning of CANN and will better explain the reasons why this is needed.
I PROMISE that I will be absolutely transparent as I have always been with the community and be careful of what my actions are in this thread.
