Wouldn't it be better to move these announcement topics to a more general forum after coin release?

No. Notice the name: BitcoinTalk.org, not AltCoinTalk.org.

You might never have seen, but here at BITcointalk.org indeed exists some space for ALTCOINS.
Proof:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0

Yes, I do know: 90% of spam I moderate is from that board and it's child boards. That subforum was made to contain all alt coins in one place, rather than letting them pollute the main boards. When I was emphasizing the name, I meant that alt coin discussions do not belong in the main board.

In fact, most moderators are in favor of completely removing alt coin discussions (that being the Alt. Cryptocurrencies board) from this forum. My opinion on this matter is kind of neutral though: if they keep the discussions in one board, it's not much of a problem.

I respect your opinion about Altcoins in general, but since the bitcointalk.org staff included Altcoins for some reason, we should be able to talk about these in this very forum without beeing offended like "you are wrong here gtfo"

This here is a subforum where we talk about bitcointalk.org forum (Meta). Since the altcoinsubforum belongs to this, I think here is the right place to talk about it.

Coin announcements should be moved out of the "Announcement" forum as soon as they are released or the topic should at least be closed.

Sorry if I came out a bit rude, I respect everyone's opinion and try to acknowledge it when making some descisons. Announcements (Altcoins) is made to contain alt coin/alt coin service announcements just like Service announcements is meant to keep all Bitcoin site threads (off-site services). The whole Alt. Cryptocurrencies board was made to contain all Altcoin discussions in general.

Some people enjoy learning about new coins or keeping up to date about their favorite ones. For this reason they go to the Announcements (Altcoins). Some despise/dislike/want to ignore such coin announcements (especially when there are dozens of nearly identical coins coming out every day), thus they ignore the Announcements (Altcoins) and discuss about well know altcoins in the main Alt. cryptocurrencies board or in it's Mining and Marketplace child boards.

You see: there is a huge user base that dislike new Alrcoins for one reason or another, be it lack of innovation, untrustworthy devs or verall flaws in new protocols, and they can easily ignore those kind of coin threads alltogether by simply staying away from the Announcements (Altcoins) board.
