What kind I say besides that this forum is just a good representation of society?
You have nice people, people trying to gain money over you at any cost, scammers, ... just as in the real world.
I hope that my posts actually contribute something.

I know I'm going to step on some feet with this and I'm probably setting myself up for a medium-sized shitstorm in my direction, but I need to get my frustration out.
I came here because I thought I could get interesting info, have constructive disputes and generally read and talk about the progress and future of the cryptocurrency revolution.
What I got:
Scammers trying to dupe people. Liars and trolls spreading FUD, trying to profit off gullible people or just trying to cause havoc for fun. People hating on each other because they have different opinions, insults flying low and pitchforks seemingly always at the ready.

Well this forum is different as there's money to made /scammed here. The only solution is to block those people, but your list will probably become pretty big quite quickly.

I've seen your posts, you mess people around but you're not an asshole 
I've seen your posts, you mess people around but you're not an asshole but you are apparently. the fact that i'm on your list is ridiculous.
Lethn is ok with arseholes and being one himself, but he just puts anybody who says something he doesn’t like on his list or when they disprove his arguments. He also loves telling everybody about how they've been put on it (I've had the honour of being on it several times). Just read his posts and you'll see he's the problem here, not everyone on his list. He also admits to being banned from nearly every forum he's ever posted on (in his own words), he just doesn't realise that he's the problem and arsehole here, then again, arseholes never do.

All these people you mentioned are on my ignore list, you'll find that these morons look like they're the majority of the forum because they're busy trying to spam people like you off the boards because that's how they roll and it's a common theme on any forum the only difference is that on here there are that many people it looks like there's just a wall of hate, feel free to add the following people to your ignore list so you will have a much more pleasant time on the forums.

When it comes to community sites, I refuse to join any that don't have a working block/ignore function simply because it's completely taken advantage of, much like how marketers and scammers take advantage of the fact that your home phone line doesn't have a block/ignore function as well.
Included in the list are the following types, some of which you've mentioned: FUD Spreaders, racists/xenophobes, people who use personal attacks when they can't get you riled up any other way, scammers, spammers and all round in general fairly unpleasant people, funnily enough I think precisely because of the ignore function a lot of these people have given up posting now because their trolling doesn't really work.
That's one helluva list, and thanks for not including me on it, bud.
~Bruno Kucinskas
Thanks for your feedback. Maybe I really should start blocking people that annoy me, maybe that helps. I'm however not going to copy some compiled list of supposed bad people, because this definition is most likely subjective and I'd rather decide for myself.
Yeah, of course. Criticism is always meant to destroy things. I'd rather see this place burn than try to make sense of it, that's why I put effort in starting this discussion.
In my experience, the only people to insult this community were the ones who were trying to do it harm.

I could turn off signatures, but then I wouldn't know for sure which posters are posting junk because they are getting paid to do it and which ones were posting junk because they don't know any better.

I have 1081 names on my Ignore list, mostly because I started adding people with paid signatures to the list.
You know you can just turn off signatures right?

yeah I did the IRC thing. No offence, but I got sick of listening to how powerful some people think they are.
They seem to think they run the world with there little pile of BTC.
I do appreciate you mentioning it though, assuming you were serious..

You are 100% correct.
These forums are a joke. You can't even sell anything anymore because 99% of buyers are scamming.
I think if the management want this forum to stop being a cesspool of disease and feaces they need to get peopl who will mark people as scammers and then ban them. Sure they can get around bans, but atleast they are gone. Its pathetic people can scam for 10's of thousands and the management do not step in. Is this really all under the guise of free speech ?
When I joined in 2012 it was never like this. Its just slowly gotten worse because management has basically given up / doesnt give a crap as long as the ad revenue is rolling in. The scam accusations forum gets like 5-10 new people a day.. or probably the same people with differant names.

There also appear to be many nice people on here, but by swamping me with a big amount of insufferable posts the (hopefully false) first impression this board gave me and is bound to give anyone is this: Bitcoiners are a greedy, remorseless, partly psychopathic, immature, hateful mob. I am almost sure this is a false impression, but it's what it looks like! Seriously, I have never felt less sympathy for any forum, even users of 4chan and Newgrounds have better social behaviour... and with this kind of culture you want to run a revolution that is supposed to make the world a better place? I honestly fear for the outcome.
Maybe I'm just lurking the wrong subforums, or maybe I'm unlucky to find troll parties in every thread I click on. I hope it's something like that.
Please, someone restore my faith in this subculture!

You're unfortunately not wrong. I personally don't stray away from the Services and Meta subforums and haven't seen too many bad posts there. If I were to run this forum, I would probably moderate it in a stricter way, including prohibiting posts which look like they were written by someone with the maturity of a 10 year old kid.

In my experience, the only people to insult this community were the ones who were trying to do it harm.
the more specialised sections of the forum or language based forums are more friendly and cosy generally.
If you avoid certain sections of the forum, you get a much better signal to noise ratio.
This ^^
I've set my preferences to ignore the altcoin boards and it made all the difference in finding threads worthy of a response.

I'd say that generalization applies to any online discussion board where you're able to maintain an anonymous persona. Even so, it seems quite a bit worse now than I've seen in the past, though that's probably because Bitcoin has gained some popularity over the years.
If you want to be more disillusioned, take a gander at the youtube videos for "bitcoin group" talks.
A quick snapshot of some of the folks who are most involved, and you quickly infer why they are so involved and support anonymous transactions so much. Some of them appear rather seedy, and it's so obvious why they want anonymous transactions.
There is so much more to crytocurrencies beyond attempts at anonymous money transfers. So many great features that we need...that train is impossible to stop now, but geez, having some of these folks standing out in public as as reps is just bad for bitcoins future.

Doesn't help that many of the better members are high-tailing it for other places
Like where? Really the forums I know of are here, reddit, and some boards that deal with altcoins. Would love to find another forum to post on in conjunction with this one.
