The whole thing reminds of the patch the nazis forced the jews to wear.
lol
Ok I went overboard on that one, I'm sorry. Don't hate me please, I would really like to know your thoughts on this and the process behind the change.
I stand by everything else tho. This is a form of segregation and that's bad for bitcoin or any other community. As a long time lurker with a 2 months account, I can tell you it certainly feels like shit getting snobbed on such a thing. I've been on more than a couple forums with an elitist edge and I know where that goes.
Bitcoin and by extension this forum need to receive people with open arms. This is not about who got here first, it's about where we are all trying to go. We need a really big strong tight economy, not seclusion of the few first.
Believe me, I do understand the abuse and the sock accounts and all associated problems with the old system. I just think there is an in-between time*14 and # of post, that better represents activity and not longevity alone. Something more welcoming to new people which, incidentally, we might need a lot of in the coming months.
