Title: Is the Service Announcements board too cluttered with new faucets?
Post by: RGBKey on January 05, 2015, 11:13:53 PM
It's starting to go the way of the altcoins, with new ones every day from people just looking to make a buck off of advertisements and not much else. I'd like to hear the community's opinion on this.

I say bitcointalk should just ban simple captcha faucets (or maybe all of them), I don't even know why people bother reading these threads.

or just add a childboard named "others".

Every board is too cluttered with something.

The Alternate Cryptocurrencies forum is too cluttered with unoriginal rehashes of rehashed coins.
The Services forum is too cluttered with signature campaigns and 14-year-olds doing "graphic design" with pirated Photoshop.
The Digital Goods forum is too cluttered with stolen accounts.
The Lending forum is too cluttered with scammers.
The Off-Topic forum is too cluttered with spam to raise post count.

Haha agreed with biz. Though I agree places can get messy with this stuff creating their own subs also seems unnecesary and you'd likely notice how little of this stuff there actually is and wouldn't justify having their own sections if they were to actually be moved into newly created ones.

That makes sense.

This is so accurate I cried ;D, I know a user that's most likely doing this.

Yes this does make sense but would it not be easier for users to find the specific services they were looking for if it was in their own appropriate section?

I guess it's a 50/50?

Yes, it would be easier, but more subforums = more moderation and confusion for others, though if they're needed then I'm all for them, but I'm not sure we do for these examples yet.
