Bitcointalk forums are full of scammers, spammers and tricksters

Yeah, the altcoin section doesn't really get the same kind of moderation as the rest of the forum...

It does not? I doubt that your statement is true. Scams are not being moderated and you should know that. The number of scams in the altcoin section is quite high. Aside from that I do not see a reason for which there would be a lack of moderation in that section. Maybe the users are not reporting enough posts?

There is no way to upgrade standards of people. It would be pointless to move to Word Press or any other platform.
If you want to be around classy and honest people, you need to find them yourself. When money is important part there always will be spam, scam and idiocy involved.
