Why don't we just purge this forum of all Alt coin forums and focus on Bitcoin related information?
Let them start their own forum.
Just a thought?

We should do like the bitcoin wiki : altcoins is off topic / not allowed!

It would be pretty pointless. All the altcoin spam would just leak out to the main boards.
I disagree. It was only a matter of time before the number of altcoin posts outside the altcoin section dropped off dramatically after we became ruthless with moving the threads to the altcoin section, and I expect the same would happen with them being removed and only a dedicated altcoin forum (there are a few already) would accept them. So I'd expect a few months of outrage and noise followed by an eventual quietening down of the whole forum.Is it possible to forbid altcoin discussions/topics and delete the altcoins categories from this forum ?
If theymos wanted, yes.

Surely, OP, you can at least read the title.
Some people do ask the most idiotic questions, don't they?

Would be nice to have a Premine and No Premine Category 
Aren't you able to read the first 10 lines of the OP ? Seriously are you that lazy that you can't go to the announcement thread and read if it is premined or not?
Why don't we also make boards just to see of it's value
Just to see the limit of circulation
The amount mined
The amount ........... And so it goes on
Use your eyes, get the info you're looking for. It's not that hard
IMO, this will just create tons of work for the mods to handle all those threads at wrong sub-sections.
Those who care about altcoin could spend a minute to read the OP and check if it is premine, PoS, etc.
Those who don't care about altcoin would have the whole altcoin section in ignore list.

Seems a little, er binary. Perhaps we could aspire to something more expressive - something on the lines of the renowned alternate taxonomy offered in the Cryptological Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge*.
The list divides all premines into one of 14 categories:
- Those that belong to the dev
- Recursive ones
- Those that are filched by co-workers
- Suckling pigs
- Mineral pools (or Sumps)
- Fabulous ones
- Stray doges
- Those that are included in this classification
- Those that shimmer as if they were mirages
- Innumerable ones
- Those drawn with a very fine right bitshift
- Et::cetera()
- Those that have just exceeded the maxcoins limit
- Those that, at a distance, resemble satoshi
Or, equally bizarre and even more unlikely, an OWL ontology: https://github.com/DOACC/doacc
Which is more conveniently editable/navigable with Stanford's FOSS ontology editor, Protege: http://protege.stanford.edu/
Cheers,
Graham

Would be nice to have 100% POS category, as i'm no longer interested in POW coins.
I agree.
And POW...of course not.

Aren't you able to read the first 10 lines of the OP ? Having a no premine no ipo category would be nice.
A lot of people just ignore all ipo and premine coins
And this would make it a lot easier to keep up with wants new with out scrolling thought 100s of post of IPO and 6% pre mine scam coins.
Yeah and I ignore every minable coin. So we are both winning if it´s splitted.
90% of coins have premine. You just stay away from those.
I want ninja-launch and scam category
I see no point in the division into categories and I prefer to update one page.
By the way, recently the topic of one coin had information about premine, then dev agreed to remove premine, but he cheated and yet mined premine.
Who will monitor this and move this topic back and forth?

The one problem I see with having sub categories for algos or PoS is when a dev does a PRE-ANN, and says that the coin will have algo X. Then the replies come back with "but why algo X, it should be Y....", then the dev agrees, and changes the algo (same can be said for PoW/PoS coins). Would it then be up to the mod's to move th thread to the correct sub-category?
I think that would just be adding to their workload, and don't see how it would either cut down on the number of coins launching.

I think this would be really useful and eventually stem the tide of cynical coin launches.
