Luckily as I noticed the numbers of newly comers here are decreased because of the implemented merit system which spammers are hard to gain even single merit as a required to rank up and probably they will get tired on that and quit in spamming the forum.
And I hope that system will stay forever. Yeah! I know that the traffic generated by each one of us matters a lot for this forum because it is the soul which keeps it alive, however, huge traffic is not worthy if most of it only composed of nonsense stuffs. If I will be asked for my opinion regarding this issue over and over again, I still show my support to merit system (no hesitations at all). I would rather choose to suffer from not able to rank than watching spammers, scammers, shitposters and even bots can easily pollute our forum.
I'm also curious about why there are a lot of people who know cryptocurrency and not know bitcointalk. There are a lot of people that I talked to who are into trading crypto but is not a member, so I wonder where they get info or something like that.
Probably because they are too focused on doing their personal business and just get answers for their queries like the usual — through Google and Youtube.
