Title: Proposal: New Forum Category "Threats to Bitcoin"
Post by: AsymmetricInformation on October 01, 2012, 12:09:27 AM
Frequently, people have been complaining about a threat to Bitcoin without first reading existing posts/documentation about it. Responding to these posts is wasteful and annoying, but ignoring them makes it appear (to outsiders) that the treat is legitimate.

I propose a new forum category to catch these posts (possibly under 'Bitcoin Discussion'). We then sticky the key recurring topics ('price manipulation', 'tainted bitcoins', 'developers change source code', 'quantum computing', etc) so people know where to find the information they want (and don't make redundant and misleading new posts).

I know we have wiki pages for this, but sadly it does not stop lazy users from flooding the forum with garbage (garbage that falsely makes BTC look vulnerable). There are just too many posts to look through...I think this organization can help.

tl;dr Just like the 'deflation' sticky in the Econ section of the forums, but a catch-all category for all annoyingly recurring topics.

So, free speech zones pretty much?
