So you want to ban people you perceive as bullies? Even if they promote discussion and exchange of ideas? People can make up their own minds based on the information given. What happens when you ban/censor/moderate someone for being rude by calling something a scam, and it turns out it was? Will you sleep soundly knowing you helped someone to defraud people?
If people are asking questions you don't like, then either answer them or prove you're more than just talk.
Anyway, good luck, nothing wrong with more forums/choices.
Thank you for your constructive feedback BadBear : )
Ah, yes, I actually would like to and will ban people that I perceive as bullies in this new forum. It's a niche forum I suppose in that sense. Bitcointalk is great for some purposes and it's a very active forum but there are just so many rude and aggressive hackers around who post very negative comments no matter what you're posting about. I have a feeling there are other sensitive and sensible guys like myself around who do not even wish to argue with the haters. What's the point anyway? I would rather spend time discussing development with people who stick to the facts and who are not too quick to judge.
Now, about the scamming thing, I have made a little bit of research about bitcoin-OCD for instance and doing business with traders and entities listed there seems to be a good way to increase the probability of a safe transaction. Bitcoin needs more review systems, not teenagers who shout scam after each and every post on this forum. What do they know anyway? I have been posting here for a while now and I have had maybe 50 random people posting something like "it's a scam" after each and every project idea I have come up with. At the same time, if you check my posts until now, not a single person has claimed I have ever scammed them. So, I have 50 guys shouting scam without anyone actually having been scammed. Enough is enough. There is a line between healthy wariness and aggressive paranoia.
You think people can think for themselves? I say if you have a large enough group of aggressive people in managerial positions, their paranoia, gang mentality and hostility will eventually spread through the group in a ripple effect. Now, bitcoin is a very contentious subject matter in itself. We do not need a mob of youngsters making the situation worse by flaming all over the forum.
So, I will let bitcointalk remain the big, uncensored forum for anything bitcoin and build my own forum for people like myself. People who do not judge too quickly. People who think before they speak and concentrate on the facts. People who like to relax and have a little bit of fun without hurting the feelings of others : )
