Serious discussion needs to be restricted to members and above, and to be removed from activity credits in my opinion.

Or even higher to full member and if lower ranks want to post there, they should get a permission from granted member first, like the moderator of this Serious Discussions board. They will be able to post but their threads should be on hold until not accepted. I'm a senior member and never even replied there. I thought sometimes about this but I was not sure if my knowledge is sufficient to post there and I was afraid to create new topics because I was sure that missed topic in this section equals big problems.

I think there's a better way if you want to preserve that box: hide it from forum index. The only thing you only need to do is to remember its board number, i.e: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=250.0 -->> board number = 250.0
If you want to access Serious discussion, from Meta box for example (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0), change the board number from 24.0 to 250.0, hit enter and then boom, your rabbit hole shows up.
This way only very very old members of the forum know and get access to that box.

Merit?

Well looking at those topics I do not see merit could be a motivation. It's hard to read their minds.

May be this will be a better idea. My few days experience in Ivory Tower is positive. It's totally noise free.

What is motivating these users to create spammy topics in the Serious discussion section?

That is simple begging of merits to those users could raise up and earn more from the forum. I am also not sure how can you report on this begging posts, if only to try to send it to off topic section.

I agree with you that asking about merit in Serious discussion section is inappropriate. We have a lot of this kind of topics in the Meta.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were people who didn't know that this section has no signatures enabled. Spammers probably don't even check if their signature is in the right place.

I have created a thread in that section once and I wasn't disappointed. Here is a good example of how an ordinary post in this section should look like. Raising the requirements to access that section won't change anything.

What is motivating these users to create spammy topics in the Serious discussion section? I am pretty sure they are not doing this for signature counts.

Have a look on the top two posts.

How do I get merit.

Re: Crypto or Job?

Quote from: ?? on ??

I am ordinary man residing in the country of Philippines. My current work is stockman at hardware somewhere here near in our place. My salary is 6.2usd per day, im always get tired by the end of the day because we all know that working in a hardware especially lifting tiles (8hrs a day)which weight of 20 kilos per box is very difficult and not an easy task.

Luckily i met crypto and found many good opportunities. I research everyday and i met good people which teaches me how to earn in crypto market like doing bounty campaign and teach me how to trade. Im planning also to enter how to become a community manager on a project and bounty manager too.

For me crypto is an ocean of blessings full of opportunities. Thats why i ask my self will i voluntary leave my job to be full time on crypto or continue doing my job.? Whats your opinion guys :-)

If we dig down then we will find more. You will also notice spammy replies in the topics. It just do not make sense to me.
I am not sure if I should report the topics. Any thoughts?
