Besides what everyone has said about the massive amount of spamming in the trollbox, the biggest problem was the mods were way too lenient. Most people were only banned for an hour and just came back and did the same thing. Real conversations and useful info were rare. 1st warning should've been a few days ban, then a few weeks, then months, and so on if you didn't understand how to behave like a rational human being.
90% of the people in there were going full retard with "omg wow XRP moon!!!!" "buy now guise ETH $1000 soon hurry!!!". I just wanted to strangle all these people for making me waste my time reading their garbage, while I'm trying to sift through it all to see what real news is.
don't you have to have a minimum balance on btc-e to troll? i seem to remember it's an insane amount now like a $5000 equivalent. they should do something similar, but lower.
I agree with this, they should've added some kind of restrictions so that not anyone and everyone could chat and spam. A few thousand would be a good minimum though now with crypto booming $5k isn't even that much. :p
