Title: Speculation thread deletion criteria suggestion
Post by: Kluge on January 09, 2015, 07:07:33 AM
Chairman theymos, I rise to offer a motion wherein the spunkulation subforum will henceforth have threads tried against the Mom & Dick Test.

If the content of the OP can be fully responded to by:

  • My dick could be a bear market next year
  • Your mom might be worth $10,000 tomorrow if her blowjobs made up 1% (by value) of global drug market transactions
  • Prices go up and down based on supply and demand
  • https://i.imgur.com/ZukFC2S.jpg(remember Kronos.io? That's probably why not.)
  • (infowars link confirming OP's theory that current BTC price trend is part of geopolitical conflict between East and West)

it should be deleted. I yield the rest of my time for debate. Thank you.

I would disagree with the supply and demand as well as geopolitical conflicts.

The price is obviously determined by supply and demand, and a non-spammy conversation regarding this should eventually lead to what will happen to supply and demand levels.

Geopolitical conflict does affect both asset and currency prices and again the conversation should eventually lead to what people think will happen on various geopolitical fronts, as well as what effect various geopolitical outcomes will have on the price of bitcoin. Although this may potentially be more appropriate for the politics/society section.

Your first two and the chart are something I would agree with

It's currently one of the most entertaining spots on the web, the way it is. Don't be so butthurt!

FTFY. No, seriously, just avoid that section and keep reporting those that are unable to find it.

I asked your mom what she thought of your criteria and she said "da Moon!"

So, you propose deleting >99% of Speculation threads. It's a good idea in theory, but how well will it work in practice?
