I have just checked the results, and the proposal 3 is leading for just 1 vote. I'll keep the voting open for a week from now.
Sometimes the Satoshi discussions are related with BTC.

For example, if it is discovered that Satoshi is and NSA agent or a criminal or Neil deGrasse Tyson of course BTC would be affected.

So I think it is not a good idea put all Satoshi threads in off topic as a rule
And that's why a board for 'satoshi discussion' is needed. Looking forward for it (but I definitely think signature campaigns won't pay for that board Grin).

4- move all of them to archival & an admin make a unique post about satoshi (bitcoin discussion ?) telling what they know about him until now.
After that all new topics related to satoshi should get removed.
Why they needed to move to archival? That board are for old stuffs, however questions on satoshi arises everyday. That's why I think there is a need for consolidating all threads about satoshi to avoid duplicate threads asking the same thing.
What i mean is to create a unique topic about satoshi where you can discuss everything related to him and in that topic one of the admins/old members can make a summary including the maximum of informations we know about him.
So after that we won't need several topics in many subs  Wink

I have added others in the voting option.
Thought question, is the person that made bitcoin possible off topic to bitcoin? Probably, because these threads are not about the work, but the person itself.

I dont think there are enough thread to create a special section though, but considering the number of Mt.Gox threads I wondered whether a bitcoin history board might be in order. Sastoshi Threads would fit in there as well as Mt.Gox threads, but I am not sure whether those topics are discussed enough for a new subboard.



I agree in this. I myself has my interest in the history of bitcoin. If there would be a sub section for it then it will be helpfull. Also the satoshi thread is where I also vote to move all the topics related to satoshi if there will be any such.
You signature spammer are agreeing something you disagree! Shorena disagreed on creating a new board about satoshi while you agree. Please read it more carefully before you spam.

Sorry about that, what I mean here is I agree on shoreena's thought of the bitcoin history board. Not the satoshi board. Shorena said that if there will be a bitcoin history board the satoshi stuffs will be discussed in there. I had to agreee on that. Got my point?

It must've been my mistake of choosing the words properly to express myself.

No, that wouldn't work and wouldn't be done. For all questions everyone could possibly think up about Satoshi to be put into a single thread would be unreasonable and unrealistic. Better for newbies to ask individual questions about Satoshi and be answered.

I voted 3. There aren't many threads about Satoshi; plus, most of the threads pertain to the section they are in. AFAIK if they go off topic then report a few posts there and let the mods handle it. If nothing happens to them, then the staff obviously think otherwise.

Please add "none of the above" , that would be my vote .
We see a lot of threads about Satoshi lately and most of them are "Is Satoshi a girl" "Is Satoshi dead" "who is satoshi" and those usual questions which really become boring after a while ...
Satoshi was able to hide himself/herself for six years now and people should know that there is no way in hell that they will know who is he unless he decide to reveal his identity using a signed message from one of his addresses (otherwise it's fake) .. Till then all topics about him should be removed/banned because I don't see the point of making two billion thread about one subject and that's just my opinion of course.

and this should show you how much thread there is :  http://lmgtfy.com/?q=satoshi+identity+bitcointalk (click show more results from bitcointalk.org)

Lately I've seen plenty of threads about Satoshi, some are in 'Bitcoin Discussion' board,  some are in 'Beginners and Help' board, and some are in 'Off-topic' board. Those threads bin Beginners board asking who satoshi is are fine, however some of the threads in 'Bitcoin discussion' board went off-topic.
Also as the threads are spread in different boards (I've even seen a thread about satoshi in altcoin boards), people may found it difficult when doing research on satoshi.
So I'll make 3 proposals here. Please vote or express what you think about this.
1. Add a 'Satoshi Discussion' board as a child board of Bitcoin Discussion/Off-topic/Beginners and Help
2. Move all of them to off-topic/Bitcoin Discussion
3. Keep them as what they are now
