At best you can prevent noobs from creating new threads. That will not stop the problem as I believe that these scammer devs have many sock puppet accounts with 40+ activity.

some of them have even registered aka in 2013
all those scam coins are knc and other mega btc farm fault, normal people can't mine btc tnx to them..fuck that centralized bitcoin network
Guys, what you're doing now will only lead to bitcointalk closing down this sub forum. This is the wild west and that's the way it's supposed to be! If you want regulation, go trade interest rates 
Looking at the current scenerio of crypto world, scams are more than actual good coins. There is only a fooling machine where new comers are fooled.
I'm with kryptopojken on this one. I don't like scams any more than the next guy but I don't think it's a good idea to impose the kind of restrictions you're suggesting.
In the end it's up to each and everyone to decide what coins they want to invest in. It's their responsibility. I got burned myself a few times buying up scamcoins but I only got myself to blame for it. I don't blame the scamming devs one bit. I chose to invest. I would have avoided some of those coins if I'd been less lazy and had gone through the ANN thread before buying on Bittrex. I think the best we can do is to try and educate people on how to spot scams.
There would just need to be a third party group that would review and/or "rate" the new coin (on what metrics I do not know). It would take reputable members for their opinions to matter. This would be something that new coins that are "reputable" would strive to attain, perhaps certification of some kind.
In the end it would come down to trust that this group would be honest and not sell out. With all things involving money there is little trust to be had.

Just close new announcements Topics from now on at this section. Make a new sticky Topic to discuss possible solution until there is one

but since you can buy username I think for all new coin, we should be able to access more info regarding the poster...
(IP, other accounts, numbers etc... things like that... I think it is possible, I remember during PoS only giveway the devs were able to tell if it was a real account or not)

I feel your pain but I also believe that it's impossible to stop the scams without inadvertently stifling great new coins. It's often really hard to tell from the outset which coins are legit and which are cynical pump and dump bait. Personally, I think it would be far better to have some stickied threads to provide newcomers to the cryptocurrency scene with tips and a list of things to watch out for. Let's not forget that greed is often the reason people get burnt. If something looks to good to be true, it nearly always is. Just my two cents.
So many scams!! More than 80 percent coins are believed to be scam. Money is lost and this is not good for Crypto World where new people are joining everyday. It is a bad signal for the welfare of Crypto currency.
We need to have a system where new announcement of coins should go through a system where a voting list or may be the assurance of Hero, senior, full members count.
Define scam... ? We need to have a system where new announcement of coins should go through a system where a voting list or may be the assurance of Hero, senior, full members count.
You can put whatever system you want, it won't prevent morons from jumping in every scammy IPO (or ICO) and if you try to warn them... you are a troll and/or a fuder (who want to buy all the coins...
). The level of stupidity has never been so high...
one good measure: put pressure on the exchange so that they refuse to harbor IPO coin (Bittrex is doing 3 or 4 IPO is less than 2 weeks... )
everybody do something ,let scam coin get out of here .
Yeah, totally agree

Education is an option but that takes time and will constantly change. Scams evolve as crypto evolves. I think we need to figure out who these individuals are and then report them to the authorities in the countries that they operate in. Good luck with that since most of them are hiding behind anonymity services.
So what can we do? Delete the Announcements section and not allow any new coin launches here.

Guys, what you're doing now will only lead to bitcointalk closing down this sub forum. This is the wild west and that's the way it's supposed to be! If you want regulation, go trade interest rates
Looking at the current scenerio of crypto world, scams are more than actual good coins. There is only a fooling machine where new comers are fooled.
A major issue is that many of the scams are undetectable at launch. Most of the time, the scam isn't revealed until it's too late. Not sure how an accurate system can be enforced that would block out scams while allowing respectable coins to pass through.
But it can go through voting list where hero,senior, full member can vote

Right, but I don't know how anyone can accurately predict what will happen in the future with a coin. It will weed out some of the blatant scams which is a start, but many will still be able to pass through.
