Just make giveaways for top 10-15 coins and that's it. Whoever makes on the list and start giveaway threads.

No, because then a list would have to be made. The forum's stance in general is that all alt coins are alt coins. The old established coins like Litecoin, Namecoin, etc are equal in alt coin legitimacy as PumpNDumpCoin that was made 15 minutes ago. The market decides the validity of a coin, not the staff of Bitcointalk.



Actually coinmarketcap.com is doing great job ranking the coins, so making top 15 list will be off Bitcointalk back.

Do you have the list for the 600 coins?? Or are you guessing.  I would be happy to see.

I have an incredibly good memory, I'm the type of guy who can memorize the order of a deck of cards/count cards etc (no one plays cards with me anymore  Cry ) I'm good with numbers.

I did have a list going as a curiousity, but at the 214th coin which was Skiencoin or something like that, I stopped writing them down, as I got tired of opening up excel every time I found a new coin and just started making a mental note every time I found an unfarmiliar name. To be completely fair as I said in my last post about the matter, the number is more for representation purposes, as I made note every time I heard a new name, and didn't necessarily look into the coin further to see if it was actually launched, or just a joke. If I get bored I might finish up the list.

Any updated if admins are considering actions against the entire altcoin subforum?

Haven't heard anything, but I doubt it, I don't see a reason to. There's still spammers but it's a lot easier to identify to source of the problem without so much clutter and deal with it.

this is bullshit, it's like to forbid manufacture of food to provide sampling to people.

A more accurate analogy would be a nightclub, with about 100 people all dancing, talking, having a good time, everything is cool. Then about 500 dudes show up pushing their way around, interrupting conversations, yelling at everyone to try their samples. Club owner gets pissed and tells them to take it outside. They can still do it, just not inside the club. Problem solved.

This is one of the best analogy posted.
Some pissed off newbies should understand that the action wasn't against the giveaway threads or the altcoins but against the users who turned the subforum into a crap hole.

Mods, stop with this nonsense. You're trying to annoy the alt-coin people until they leave. Grow a pair of balls and dump the section if you want to that badly.

Maybe the annoyance will make people reconsider making coins at the drop of a hat. That said,I have absolutely nothing against giveaways. Sure,some people need a start in this community,give them a few coins. But it's become a little too much with every new coin offering giveaways as soon as they're started.

People don't seem to understand. Essentially we are saying, we don't want your coin spam here. Take it to your own forums, Bitcointalk doesn't cater to thousands of threads about *insert coin*. We aren't motivated to keep the conversation here, so a vote wont do anything, we are trying to get you to take your conversations elsewhere.

People that are saying, FIX IT OR WE WILL LEAVE! thats kind of our intentions. Obviously we don't want people to leave the bitcoin discussion here, but we do want you to take the majority of your altcoin discussion elsewhere. This is Bitcointalk, it can't handle the alt coin discussion volume for 600 different coins, so we are asking that you take it to your own forums.

KeyserSozeMC, we are trying to get people to do exactly what you are doing. Creating your own forums for giveaways like you are doing, I actually really appreciate it.

The main point here that is irritating that people are ignoring, if we don't cut down the post spam, IE hundreds of thousands of posts of people just pasting their addresses, we will lose the entire section. I for one would like to keep the Alt Currency section, however people seem to be ignoring the fact that creating a giveaway subforum wont help. We want the excess spam off of Bitcointalk, not just jammed in a different corner.

Do you have the list for the 600 coins?? Or are you guessing.  I would be happy to see.

The win-win situation would have been to create a sub-forum.
