At this rate all we will have left here on the forum are trolls, scammers, and mobs. I am watching all the actual contributing members flea from this sinking ship of degeneracy that has become Bitcointalk. Have fun ruling over the scorched rat infested ruins after you drive anyone decent away just so you can put on a plastic badge for a few minutes and play scambuster.
If bitcoin had more people like you in it tecshare, bitcoin would have hit main stream a year ago. A buddy of mine i told about bitcoin about 5 months ago went to check it out. Found this place via google and a few days later when i talked to him says " It reminds me of those kids that play that world of warcraft game all the time...... I would rather pay the bank fees than use bitcoin and have to deal with that garbage if i needed help or to ask a question"
Worst part is that he does import / export all the time and probably does over a million a year in transactions. It made me think how many more like him are out there. tens of millions a year in transactions that we are missing in the market because of this crap forum.
I'll admit, i'm just as guilty, i am man enough to say when i do wrong. But in my guilt, i aim to expidite the process, the sooner this turns to scorched earth, the sooner it dies, the sooner it can rebuild without the scum, or a new technology will come along leaving these folks behind.
We need a new forum or community social space for sure. Not just a face lift on this one, but a new, advanced, heavily moderated, 0 b.s. tolerated gathering space. Not bitcointalk 2.0 . org. More like bitcoinforgrownups.org. No virtual popularity digital currency like the default trust crap that is so heavily abused here. 0 tolerance for witch hunts. Mandating concrete proof to have something listed as a scam, not a bunch of speculation, theory's and smoke and mirrors. And most of all, a 0 trolling policy. Something to keep cliques like the Nubbins, fishbone, smoothie, redsnow etc. band of misfits from ever behaving like they do.
In the mean time. i will do my part to defend the innocent from witch hunts, and aid in the demise of this failed social experiment so it can rebuild into something better.
