Noobs ask questions, others say that the merit system is unfair because they can't collect much money from ico as junior members or members forever, other noobs say #me_too, and you find some others trying to help them figure out things that could be found in OP but they are too lazy to figure it out... End of the story.
The story won't end unless that thread is locked away. That is what I'm saying that noobs ask useless questions and to answer those questions other users start repeating the exact same things written in OP which makes no sense at all. If the thread is locked, those noobs won't have a chance to ask anything there nor others will have any reason to reply.
After getting banned once, I decided it was dangerous to keep trying on bitcointalk without reading the ToS... so I actually read it. Then I read the "unofficial rules." Learned so much.
This forum is actually different from other forums. You can get banned for posting, "wow that's hot." In a reply. It's not really a forum, and people will realize that soon enough.
Some things will never change. Older users will get the things and the new comers after them will keep the tradition going again. I wish every new user had the same thoughts like you, but that is never gonna happen.
Why that thread should be locked it's very useful thread and i guess it's very much a likely topic for forum members to discuss.
As a bitcointalk fan i personally didn't want any thread to be locked until it become useless or it's a spam.
A thread doesn't get useless if it is locked. Locking is not like deleting where the thread gets removed forever, and I'm saying it should be pinned so that anyone visiting this section should be able to see and read it. Besides, the things that were meant to be discussed had been discussed at the starting, and now that thread merely gets any proper discussion from anyone. You can find nothing else but spam if you check the last few pages of it.
