Ive been watching the topic originators and what they have to say and I dont think I have seen a *single topic that has been started by anyone with less than a few hundred posts that is worth reading (except for entertainment value if Im bored and feel like reading some stupidity)
And, yes, I am quite aware that *I fall into that category (low post count) as well..
This isnt my first forum account, I forgot the login for my other one going back to 2011 and didnt have a recovery email address set on it, so its dead, and I dont often have a lot to say anyway, unless I feel chatty. In any case Im not sure that I have anything of amazing value to say in the speculation forum anyway, except to occasionally n00b-bash some particularly stupid and persistently annoying spammer making repeated baseless declarations of certainty. (but totally refusing to put their money where their mouth is) and make a bet or short. But it seems to me that if was easy to click a button and have all the n00b-posters stupid "OMG, well that about wraps it up for Bitcoin" garbage muted, that they *might bother less starting a new topic every time theres a dip big enough to make them loosen their bowels.
or maybe just include the topic-starters post count next to their name in the "Started by" Thread ? Something to help gag the n00bs until they stick around long enough to gain *some credibility and experience of bitcoins *normal fluctations anyway.
I realise its the Speculation forum, but surely there must be *some posters out there with more thoughtful reasoning than "Cut your loose, its going to 0 !" blather and it would be nice to not have to rake through the verbal diarrhea to find them.
