What's is the purpose of this forum?

[godhacks]

I'm asking legitimately and not trying to put down or defame the forums in any way.

Today I came here because a product I purchased every now and then ceased to be available on another website. As I read through the posts, the scam accusations, the forum rules, the guidelines on what is allowed, the ignore lists the entire posts built around tracking down account farmers, the need to do nearly everything from being screwed by someone, hacked or targeted in some manner and then the general names of most of the posts it really just seems like this place is nearly all spam or scams. Most of the posts I see start off with a similar question to what mine started off with and seem to be more about leading questions to generate posts, to gain activity to eventually participate in something called a "signature campaign", which from the small amount of information I gathered is someone paying high level members to put spam in their signatures and somehow that results in profit? I would think conversions on such a campaign would be minute, but perhaps my assumptions are wrong. In addition to all that, I'm curious how any activity level, hero, legendary or otherwise would mean anything other than someone decided to purchase an account with said title so that they could either scam someone or do some type of spam campaign. Why is value continually placed on something traded openly and intended to be used for harm against members of the forum?

 You are so full of shit it's coming out of your ears.  Who are you really and where was this "other" website?  Venus?  Your first post makes you sound like a newborn or a visitior from another planet that doesn't have internet forums.  Let's turn this around:
 Why is value continually placed (by you) on this "product" that is no longer available on your go-to website?  So much value in fact, that you come looking here to this foreign website which is so unfamiliar to you it doesn't even seem to be real; it is barely recognizable as a forum in fact.  Were you looking for a Bitcoin? A hug? Some mother's milk?

 I look forward to your next essay on what you expected when you signed up for Bitcointalk.org...

Kudos for reading all that shit in a day.  I'm impressed; not many newbies read anything (guilty).

Welcome to the forum.

A full on megatroll as the first and only reply, very unexpected, but you managed to answer every question I had with your ignorance.

Ignorance is a lack of knowledge.  I think you meant arrogance.

 Full-on is hyphenated,  there's a typo in the topic (extra is), you used the simple past tense in your first sentence where you should have used the past continuous tense and I don't think you know what ignorance means.  Now I'm a mega-troll.  As I said, I don't believe you're really here to buy anything nor do I believe this is your first foray into the Bitcointalk forum.  Regardless, yours was an audacious first post.

 I'm still waiting to see your post in the Marketplace>goods section... or did you forget what you came for?
