Title: The Press Board - Moderation Required
Post by: Karartma1 on November 06, 2017, 06:50:52 PM
Hi there,
I see Jeff Garzik should be the one moderating the Press Board but it looks like there's no moderation going on.

Thread like the following ones should not be allowed if I recall it correctly
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2367185.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2312781.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2365148.0

and the list goes on.

The Bitcoin Forum Press Board is about notable press hits about BTCITCOIN, nothing else.

I kindly ask mods to take action regarding it and hopefully appoint a new moderator.

Thanks

If you report them they'll be trashed. That entire board should be retired and locked/archived now anyway as it's redundant and serves no real purpose other than to facilitate sig spammers to legally get away with copy and pasting (whether manually or with bots). Any notable press mention that is worthy of discussion can just be posted in the main sub anyway.

Thanks for your reply, I'll keep on reporting them.
Personally, I find it very handy to log into the forum and have a look at all the recent press hits. I see some articles get many views so I imagine others also enjoy such service.
I agree that people may use it as you said but if they post relevant articles I think that's fine.
Lastly, I only wanted to point out that non-Bitcoin related articles should not be allowed there.
See you around ;)
