I guess that I was far from clear....
My feeling:
* There are a few established currency exchanges that don't need much to do, all goes OK and their activity usually mean bad things: errors, hacks, or just maintenance. So silence is good and reassuring there.
Everything can be hacked but the companies are distinguished on 'how they react to it and how they answer people'. Most of the people are using exchanges to trade.
That's obvious. Just imho it's rather normal/good to have pretty "silent" threads about exchanges: not too many still come out and the big ones don't really have good news to share.
I use exchanges as well and I find them OK. But just seeing their threads with "we are still here" would be .. odd.
So imho silence there is fine.
* Yes, too many posts are scams or spam.
Not only new users, even Hero Members scam. It simple, "Scammers scam".
True. But a Hero member
may be more careful to not get negative trust, while there are a lot of brand new accounts with 1-2 posts, only for a ponzi or a ref link to a faucet....
These are in the scam or spam area which can easily reduced.
* Accounts selling is fine - the mods explanation makes sense not to ban it - still, I agree, too many posts are in that direction. Maybe that should go to a contained area, which maybe is by default set on ignore for new users?
New accounts are created to announce account sale for making their real account a secret. So blocking newbies from posting there is probably a bad idea.
I don't want to
forbid that for newbies. I want only to
hide it by default, until they will get "old enough" to find the checkbox to uncheck.
But I just realized that people also come here without an account and then it will actually be visible....so my idea is actually not really useful
* The overall mood can't be good while some bought at 5-900$ and now it's.. less than 250$
Many of them even bought at $0.1, maybe far lesser than it. I don't think it's a bad thing which affect users.
I wish I were around those days...
However, I think the "noisier" ones are the ones losing, and that makes the forum look somehow "depressed".
* Yes, too many posts are scams or spam. Some sort of newbie jail could help.

- newbie jail
Newbie jail is bad idea. There people who join this forum for asking doubt about technical things, to ask about companies, to announce/offer their service etc... The post and PM limitation currently is some sort of newbie jail and is working fine except for PMs - shouldn't allow newbies to send a PM without posting. A 20-30 seconds forced class about forum rules is probably better idea than newbie jail.
- ban ponzis
Bad and very hard idea. If you start banning, you will have to start banning cloud mining etc... It would be very hard for mods to investigate on every new cloud mining.
*sigh* you are right with both. I overlooked all the implications.
- ban/moderate (OK, this is not simple) "sell now" "buy now" "dump is coming" threads - they are only simple daytrader FUD.
Like you said it isn't simple but I didn't understand fully about your statement "they are only simple daytrader FUD".

By "daytrader FUD" I wanted to say that there only (weak) attempts (by spreading "news", usually FUD) made by some traders to affect the market in a way to make (more) profit.
There was another place where I used to hang around about one year ago. The FUD was always deleted by the mods promptly. (It didn't help the price of that coin, but that's a different story.) At least the place was "cleaner"...
