I won't use the word "nonsense." People sometimes use bad English on the forum, but what you consider nonsense might be very interesting to someone else.

Those thread that received 300 plus response should be closed, topics like "If bitcoin dropped to $1, what you do?" that topic received more than a thousand replies already and it should be clear by now to the OP what others will do "If bitcoin dropped to $1, what you do?" same goes with "Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities" also received more than a thousand replies and the most classic example is "How to motivate women to use Bitcoin?" with more than 2 thousand replies, there's more of them out there.

Those kind of threads are beginning to be a haven for account farmers and for those who are short with posts to meet the minimum or wanting to reach maximum post before cut-off date. Those should be closed.
It won't happen, but if such threads are going to be closed, there will be a flood of freshly opened threads by these farmers and signature posters.

If you close the door for them on one side, they will look for another door that will lead them to their destination.
Actually, it doesn't even matter if they're locked or not. New threads with:

  • literally the same question
  • a prior question previously asked
  • a vague and general question

... will appear. You may not notice them, but there's already been a couple of them in all the large spam board sections (Economy, Speculation (every single time the price shifts a tiny amount), Gambling (a million threads about "strategies"), Bitcoin Discussion).

Let's not forget in Meta that there's dozens of threads pertaining to the same question, like the leet post count threads or removal of signatures (campaign or not). I think what would also clear up some space in Meta is if there was a master thread of hacked accounts. Instead of having a scores of them pop up every week, we can at least limit it to a single thread where it can be even organized by someone.

Hell, I'm willing to compile that sort of data! (Shoot a PM if anybody's on board)

To be honest, I would just ignore it.  If you don't give someone any attention,  they eventually go away. Believe it or not, posts like this psychologically encourage said behavior. If you really have a problem,  don't make a thread.  Report it to a moderator.

I totally agree with you sir. Just don't pay attention to those nonsense post and they would go away if someone pays attention. We can't stop those nonsense topic since people have different thoughts either nonsense to other people or not.


That's why I tried to offer getting the ignore feature enhanced,  but nobody is taking my highly recommend and reasonable offer.

Probably best not to waste your time implementing it on this forum.  Work with the developers of the new forum, and build an add-on for that!

OP just a friendly suggestion: Use some punctuation.   I know you know what it is, and I know you have the necessary symbols on your keyboard.   It makes for much smoother reading.   

As to the topic.   Yeah, it's the same old thing.  Report shitposts when you find them and clean your own house.

Same as how nonsense this thread is?
It is already been discussed. There is an ongoing SMAS campaign to fight against these kind of threads and spammy posts.
Well i am sorry sir i havent read that discussion you are talking about. I am also an advocate of a more reasonable discussion or debates thats why i am bringing this up

SMAS(check this out OP) won't help much. As the name suggest its all about signature spam.
IMO most of the ridicules spam comes from user not associated with sig. campaign.
For example check the post of this troll. So obvious trolling which is in fact forbidden by the forum rules shouldn't go unpunished. This character is not wearing any sig, so he can post any shit he wants.
Have you seen any sig. participant doing same stuff? I haven't.     
As to nonsense post count increase, this is completely normal, 180K new accounts where
created since the beginning of the year. Forums are getting very popular and this is the cost of that. With great pop. comes great poptalk Wink
