There's nothing we can do about it.
You can still Private Message each other though and to further enhance the security PGP is all over the place this nullius spam the community with great details of knowledge.
The information is still surviving in the depth of discord.
Topic: My conspiracy theory about spammers - page 2. (Read 432 times)
I believe this is an "attack". They will flood and spam the forum with useless and stupid topics to make it hard for us to discuss important matters about Bitcoin to make all of us ignorant. Plus it also serves their agenda to misinform the unknowledgeable.
Seriously? The only "attack" there is is by people who either are very young and/or can't speak English very well and want to try earn as much money as they can from posting. This is of course a recipe for disaster and only gets worse when they start farming multiple accounts to maximise earnings. Why would people bother writing anything of substance or something that requires effort and thought when you only need to write a sentence or hit some sort of minimum character count to get paid? When you've got multiple accounts time is money so you'll just string out a sentence or two then move on to the next account and rinse and repeat. This is why the merit system was introduced so hopefully it will start to curb this sort of behaviour.
Bitcoin Discussion, Economics, and Speculation need to be cleaned in my opinion. The discussions in them should be maintained well and be held in the highest care.
Get reporting then. If we are talking about spammers then report them because that's the only way they are going to get cleaned up because there just isn't enough manpower to enforce the hundreds of spammers per section. I would probably disagree with your original statement that this is an attack though. This has always happened it's just more exaggerated due to Bitcoin rising in popularity recently.
Serious discussion exists.
But not the solution.
But would you agree in making that the top subforum above "Bitcoin discussion" be good? I believe it might be.

Also, I don't exactly remember the last time there was actually an important discussion in areas that are heavily spammed (i.e. Bitcoin Discussion, Economics, Trading Discussion, Gambling, etc.)

You can still find some good stuff in Technical Discussion (and to a lesser extent, Technical Support) and Mining (thank god for -ck).
