what in gods name do you seriously expect when you come here and say your first Altcoin is Monero ?
I expect serious consideration from my peer group consisting of people in my level,
and also those who believe that by learning from me they can reach higher.
Never before or after, I have bought into another altcoin, so it is a great thing for me, which I gladly share with my supporters.
As for moderated vs. unmoderated threads, the main issue is S/N-ratio. It's possible to buy sockpuppet work for $0.12-$0.20 per message. Just to take an example, NewLiberty posts here and the opportunity cost for him to write these messages is certainly about $100.
It is possible to inundate his reasonable and insightfulmessages below a pile of junk at a price much cheaper than it is for him to write them.
This is an economic attack which wears down the good posters so that in the end only the junk remains.
(self)Moderation is a way to mitigate it. If you feel your contribution is not welcome, you can refrain from posting into such threads and do not lose anything.
NewLiberty's readers gain by not needing to wade through the pile of junk when they are interested mainly in NewLiberty's contribution and the insightful responses to it.
We have decided to continue posting in Bitcointalk, so you'll just have to accept it.
If any of my posts infuriates you, consider the fact that I am not talking to you.
I am talking to people who want to listen to me and learn from me.
Here you have it. If you don't like Monero just stop posting your *piles of junk* and ignore the topics. There's no point in interfering with Monero's business if you don't want to *listen* to and *learn* from Rpietila so you can *reach higher* after all. So just cut the bullshit and move on.
If you want to miss out on the next Bitcoin ROI it is your own free will to ignore Monero. But for the love of god STOP the terrible trolling in Monero's reasonable and insightful threads with a peer group consisting of people in Risto's high level.
