The thread is fine and I just posted in it, in fact. I merited a post you made in it, as it cleared up a tiny uncertainty I had about running a full node and also to diss PIVX.
You got plenty of merit for the OP of that thread, so I don't see what the problem is and why you need people's approval. If it seems like nobody's posting in your thread, that's because it's in Bitcoin Discussion, which is infested with shitposters. Any thread you start there is going to get buried in a matter of minutes unless the thread title is some sort of simple question that spammers can write a short answer to--that's the sad but true fact about BD.
I don't see a problem here: you've created a serious thread, and managed to keep it free from spammers. That's a good thing, especially in Bitcoin Discussion.
Yeah, that is no easy task in that section. I'd say at least 90% of posts there are complete crap even if some of the threads themselves are useful. I hate to have BD on ignore, but I just don't see a point posting there. If I do, my post is either going to be ignored or deleted when mods occasionally delete threads en masse. Plus it clogs up my new topics feed with threads I know I'm never going to post in.
