I'll have the benefit of the doubt,in that case.
It's funny, those "cancer" threads always seem to start proliferating when bitcoin's price is rising--same as scam attempts and loan threads. But they've been a serious nuisance ever since I started lurking on bct in 2014.
One would think that after so many posts, I would have learned somewhat how things go around here. There was a time at which this was a much smaller problem (a period in which BadBear && many other genuine community members were active).I do remember reporting a few new one's as 'not-constructive' which were moved to Off-Topic.However,I do get your point,like the threads listed above should be acted upon by either moving to off-topic or trashcan.
I started reporting a lot of posts in the past couple of months, and I agree. It's only the bot spam, wrong language, and wrong section reports that get acted on, not the shitposts & shitthreads.
An occasional thread getting move, locked is pretty much a fake gesture at this point. Due to this inaction you can see a steady decline of actually interesting/genuine members (e.g., KWH is one of the recent users who is much less active for this very reason).At one point, these threads did get locked for generating massive spam.
I am not sure why this is no longer the case.
This is due to me spamming huge lists of cancer threads in the Staff section, back in the day. I am not sure why this is no longer the case.
