100 merit+ to start a thread on the main alt or btc board

junior boards opened for btc and alt sections for all the

which ico is best threads

the boards simply move to fast with many many duplicate threads and most are just pump my ico threads anyway by armies of sockpuppet accounts with zero merit

mods need demerit powers really for obvious spammers who have purchased high level accounts but never post anything of worth and just use them to spam for different icos

Having restrictions for starting threads (basis ranks) has been suggested for a long time. The general consensus is that might be too restrictive. The problems is not just with low value threads, it is with the multiple accounts spamming in them. It might take some, but the merit system will definitely have an impact.

What is better to do is to charge a fee for posting, only allowing copper members to open a topic in certain sections and increasing the amount of copper membership purchase.
Charging a fee especially with Bitcoin and it's fees would be just in practicable and wouldn't really stop people from purchasing copper membership just to bypass it as copper membership isn't that expensive. Having copper members only being able to create threads is a better idea than allowing everyone to though.

Some already use managers for their threads. Limiting thread creation would only hinder certain people, and then they would just hire people like the rest of competition. There's no simple answer to anything regarding moderation.

Moderators or even merit sources should not be given demerit points, and I'm hoping that this isn't implemented in the future. It will only be abused, and misused.

Seems similar to the idea that simply won't let newbies and juniors to open a topic, only in selected threads (kind of newbie jail for topic opening)
Allowing only 100+ merited members to open topics would make the price of these accounts higher.
Also, imagine that there's a really good ICO that wants to advertise on the forum, but without an account with 100+ merits they have no chance to open their thread... (I know there are really a few of these kind of ICOs that are not scam/spam, etc...)

100 merit+ to start a thread on the main alt or btc board
It won't work:

  • They will ask someone else to create it for them.
  • They will buy accounts with at least 100 merits.

That's not enough (they need users that report such cases [so they can handle it and possibly ban them as well]).
