Title: How about no more joke coins
Post by: BlazinBeaches on May 31, 2013, 08:41:21 PM
Once and a while it's funny, but it's at the point now where people don't want to click any new threads assuming every coin isn't real.

We should have a couple dedicated threads for joking around, the rest should be legit.

I vote for locking/deleting a lot of these junk threads.

Or even better, how about a dedicated subforum for purely joking around.  That actually would be perfect.  It would keep things neat in here, and it would also maintain the benefit of the extra forum activity, since there are clearly a lot of jokers here, which is definitely a great thing and an essential component to the life and vibe of a place.  I just think this subforum should be more focused on making real things happen.

Lets all put our efforts together and make some of these coins worth something.  

Come on guys  8)

Mods should screen some coins on the forum. It is ridiculous to watch how they are destroying alt currency with those socalled funny coins.

it should have a "serious alternative coin" section or something like that

Who will decide what is serious and what is not?
For example, Abstract coin? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=218816.0

As long as censorship didn't get out of hand I agree. However remember that these are ultimately Bitcoin forums, the mods probably don't care about alt coins effectively nuking their own reputation.

I am starting to quite dislike this, it was fun to be here and see some interesting launches, but it's getting ridicilous now.

I agree it's become a nightmare to find information here. You really have to bookmark every interesting thread because it gets covered in an avalanche of Penis, Vagina and Poop coins.

I feel like i'm the only adult at a kids party sometimes.

If there was only some sort of position on the forums where a user could moderate posts....a "mod" if you will....wow, wonder what it would be like to have one of those.

Also - just ignore any user that posts a stupid fake coin. That's what I've been doing and it's working!

It makes the thread almost invisible, smaller and tough to see. Best we can do until we ever get a real mod, and ignoring trolls makes them go away.

I didn't know that. cool.

To bad those coinspammers always create a fresh jr. account. I wonder how many devs there were for those 15 or so copy paste coins. Maybe just two or three....

I'd say 1 or 2.

Ethicoin is going to be truly innovative crypto.

The board is a mess really. I think a separate board for coin announces would be a good solution. Even better if people have to pay some 10$ to make a thread there.

That's not a bad idea...require anyone who wants to make an altchain pay BTC.1 or something for the listing :P

I have half the subforum ignored by now.

* JokeCoin - ignored
* SpamCoin - ignored
* FUD - ignored
* Plain retarded - I hope your ignore link got yellow!

It works pretty well.

There should be a limit of only 10 new alt coins per day. Any more than that and the whole alt coin concept becomes rediculous.

Yeah, 9 new coins per day isn't ridiculous

market will/has sorted it out.


- if this forum gets clammed up - people will leave , simple.

- large exchnages have already stopped taking them .

- less and less miners on each new spam.


no need for banning things or directing things - the mod is not allowed to organize the "Alternate cryptocurrency" section the BTC overloards dicated that, and its their forum after all why would they want to?
