I don't think OG is wrong here, this board is meant for the forum's issues, not for personal opinions or someone being nitpicky, so they want the whole world to change according to them. This may not be necessarily bad, but I feel this is nitpicky and the referenced thread isn't really promoting spam, its a bot for autofilling details in google forms... So I don't see how this is giving a bad name to bitcointalk. The "bad name" of bitcointalk goes above and beyond the general people's imagination.

I know some people might disagree but really think about it.

God forbid someone creates something. This is the exact bullying nonsense I always talk about as why this forum has lost it’s most valuable participants. If people think Bitcoin’s success was due to it keeping out what is deemed low quality users instead of fostering innovation and giving builders an immutable platform, they are lost. It seems like people are more concerned with trying to get Moderator positions by berating newbies than they care about Bitcoin actually having use cases that bring value to this forum.

I wouldn't say this is "bullying", this is more of double standards, stereotypes, and some people's constant willingness to find problems with low ranked members. Like the positivity level is at par to zero.

But yeah there's some sort of bullying here though, it always has, and always will, so long as this is a part of internet where people can sit in their basements and make fun of people in a hurtful way. But the most valuable participants left because of the spam, and lack of individuals who understand bitcoin but all they found was individuals who thought bitcoin was brought up by illuminati, and that satoshi lives in a hut located in Bermuda Triangle.

It seems like people are more concerned with trying to get Moderator positions by berating newbies than they care about Bitcoin actually having use cases that bring value to this forum.
The perks here are useless, except for signatures, so being a Mod is something people would love to get, because they get to look "cool" ,unlike the boring legendaries and other stupid ranks. Some people are actually interested in modding the forum, to try fighting against the spam, but things are as slow as the Internet Explorer here, so things never lift off.  Undecided

This is a stance I strongly disagree with. I don’t think anybody running Bitcoin projects left because sections of the forum were being spammed. They would have likely just been concerned with their own threads and their own users. It’s when disrespectful forum members make it appear that their work isn’t valued that they target their effort elsewhere.

Honestly, I haven't really seen this, and even if I have I don't remember it quite well. But since this is bitcointalk we are talking about, I see this being more than just a possibility. And I also dare say that most of them who were disrespectful didn't know jack about the particular project or even bitcoin. People weren't toxic back in the day. Well, I guess toxicity and spam is all you get when bitcoin becomes famous.  Undecided

But I still feel that valuable members, members who understood bitcoin,who were here in the early days, who weren't necessarily running bitcoin projects; left the forum because of the spam and its factor: Signature Campaigns.

Excessive begging for merit sure being looked down upon, which looks like beggar. But publishing high-quality posts and looking forward to getting meirt I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Everyone wants to be recognized and praised by others.
A writer writed an article, if you don't like this article,but don't easily belittle it. This is rude, and it will also hurt the author's enthusiasm.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Of course when a user makes a quality post you actually expect reward for it (and more often than not you get it as we have source and members willing to give it out)
But I believe your post should be reason enough for a user to merit you, without actually asking for credit.

I also don't consider this merit begging though.
Posters who ask for merits as the whole content of the post best fits the description.
