I'm pretty sure if we ran a poll among the seniors that this would get passed instantly.

Yeah, there's a good chance it might, but seniors aren't the only people who use this forum. Seniors also have the option like anyone else to either block the subforum from view or just not go in there.

If you value a senior such as 'DeathAndTaxes' the same as the average newbie/Joe here, there is something very wrong.

That's quite an elitist thing to say. Does DeathAndTaxes hold an authoritative opinion here on something? I measure weight by merit, but that doesn't mean I discredit the opinion or views of the 'average joe' here. After all, this isn't a forum just for senior members, is it?

Banning the alt coin section is like somebody trying to get something banned that doesn't or shouldn't effect them. Why would the alt coin section effect or annoy you? Just either ignore it or don't go there then that's those people sorted.

If bitcointalk were to shut down the altcoin sub and subsequently endorse another altcoin forum, then most people would probably flock there.

It'd be worse without it. People would just clog up the other forums with their altcoin talk. It's best to keep it all out of the way there.

Tell me then, what is the job of a moderator?

Objection your honor! Alt-coin section needs to stay, case closed. End of story.

Bitcointalk either needs to purge the Altcoins, or embrace it and move into being a general cryptocurrency board. I have found it odd that the Alt sections are kept though seemingly despised by many, including the mods and admins.

It's simply time to make a choice as to what this forum wants to be: Bitcoin itself only, or all inclusive.

WTF?!? Don't look at the section if you don't like it. I don't mind alt coins, but I still have not looked at the section for months. It totally doesn't get in my way at all. When I run across posts contrasting Bitcoin with alt coins that is legitimate and interesting. When someone is trying to pump some scam-coin it's usually pretty obvious and easy enough to ignore.

When I am researching some alt coin or another to try to figure what, if any, influence it might have it's handy to be able to see discussions about it in a grouped area.

No matter what one might think of alts, censorship is pretty backwards and almost always a counterproductive and weakening force in just about any field of endeavor.

nah he aint gonna do jack shit.

I'd bet on this one.

People seem not to comprehend that the Alt Coin section isn't here to benefit the alt coin communities, its to keep their conversations out of the rest of the boards. If the Alt Currency section is removed, then the spam then floods the rest of the boards (more than it is now)

Keeping it is no solution either. The forum is just becoming a mess.

New people come here for the bitcoin, think they can make money from it usually through mining, then get told the only way to make money is through altcoin mining. Then they enter the hell that is the infinite planes of altcoin and create their own coin, then proselytise the virtues of altcoins over bitcoin, and the cycle repeats.

IMO we'd be better without it, but you'd need mods to just keep tossing things in the bin all day. It would only be a matter of time before the talk died down.

The question is are we worse off with or without it. My bet would be on without it. If even 1% of the content in Alt Currencies posted daily was posted outside of alt currencies, it would be a living hell. We already have people posting where they shouldn't, what would keep everyone from doing so if there wasn't a better place for them to post?

A bit of feedback after i disabled ignored the altcoin forum.

Pathetic wannabes spread their electronic sewage all over this forum. It is leaking to all the forum. In the speculation sections there is topics like:

Will 1.000.000.000.000 myshitcointhatonlymeandmymomknowabout hit one dollar on day?

All over the forum there are people replying with "that is why we need altcoins" or, "mypatheticshitcoin could solve that" problem.

The official website of most coins is a topic on this forum trashed with formated text 1996 style. Heck, I see things like:
"uselessfesescoin solves that problem they have been hacked, but they are relaunching the coin and this time is going to be awesome" leaking outside the altcoin forum.

Kill with fire I say. Let us talk bitcoin, we have no use for refined stupidity that originates on young teens sitting on their moms basement.

Do I feel anger? I have a coin that will solve your problem.

Yeah it's gotten a lot worse, alt currencies leaked from time to time before but now it's everywhere. The report system is also getting flooded with reports from there as well, which is making it harder to deal with issues on the rest of the forum. But hey, alt currencies has a marketplace now so yay Roll Eyes

Gee,what a marketplace. Roll Eyes
