I'll have the benefit of the doubt,in that case.
It's funny, those "cancer" threads always seem to start proliferating when bitcoin's price is rising--same as scam attempts and loan threads. But they've been a serious nuisance ever since I started lurking on bct in 2014.
One would think that after so many posts, I would have learned somewhat how things go around here. There was a time at which this was a much smaller problem (a period in which BadBear && many other genuine community members were active).
I do remember reporting a few new one's as 'not-constructive' which were moved to Off-Topic.However,I do get your point,like the threads listed above should be acted upon by either moving to off-topic or trashcan.
I started reporting a lot of posts in the past couple of months, and I agree. It's only the bot spam, wrong language, and wrong section reports that get acted on, not the shitposts & shitthreads.
An occasional thread getting move, locked is pretty much a fake gesture at this point. Due to this inaction you can see a steady decline of actually interesting/genuine members (e.g., KWH is one of the recent users who is much less active for this very reason).
At one point, these threads did get locked for generating massive spam.
I am not sure why this is no longer the case.
This is due to me spamming huge lists of cancer threads in the Staff section, back in the day.
