Should we just delete the Active Mining Thread?

[arousedrhino]

Hello,

The Active Mining thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=297503.5600 has become useless. All that is posted is Cumbs, VE, and LabKen(VE) talking amongst themselves with no discussion on the actual topic. It become so bad that getting information from the thread is not possible. The only way to get information is by following Ken's posts in the Announcement Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=297543.msg3445996#msg3445996.

Since that is the only way we can get useful information I would like to make a motion that the Active Mining thread be deleted.

• It would allow Ken to not read bullshit everyday
• The mods would not have to waste their time daily deleting posts in the thread, which does nothing to actually keep it clean Cumbs and VE don't care and will keep posting until banned.
• The Active Mining thread gives Active Mining a poor reputation since its just a bunch of little school girls wining all day long. This likely impacts our sales and potential future profitability.
• We can get regular updates in the announcements thread.

Delete EVERYTHING!!!
Have a YES, OP

Edit:  I think deleting the thread will be a win for all of us.  As long as i don't have to see or hear about this failure, you are all free to do as you like

Or you could utilize the ignore function

I do, it looks like:

[faizaa123]

no, because once that's gone, so is the idea that i'll ever see my shares of this skeleton company again.

[pedrog]

Why do you think we have such choice?

I'm not really sure what you mean by that, Ken is actively working on the project and there is an announcements thread where all the useful information is. Does Bitcointalk going down also mean you will never see your shares again? I think by your logic that is a true  statement.

Whats the context of this statement, was it a response to faizaa123 or to my original poll post? Thanks for clarifying.

To answer:

Why do you think we have such choice?

The moderators on the forum have the power to delete the thread, but I am sure they will not exercise it unless absolutely necessary. By creating a poll and getting peoples opinions about the ActM thread out in the open I hope to convince a moderator or Ken that the ActM thread is useless and is a waste of time for anyone to attempt to maintain and thus the entire thread should be deleted or at the very least locked so we can keep the pertinent information if someone chooses to search through it.

You might find this funny. But recently Ken actually Locked the thread and shut it down for a good 30minutes or so after he and VE got in a fight. He then unlocked it, closing the thread is not a smart idea. We will then see dozen of posts about "What happened to AcTM??? Why is the thread locked? Omg Ken scammed us?!?!?!?!?!"

Keep it open, use the ignore button and stop complaining because you have to scroll through a few pages when you have big money tied up into shit. People need to stop being lazy. "Omg but Crumbs won't stop posting!! I feel like I'm gonna die!" So many god damn cry babies on this forum man.

There are other communities where we have the power to more effectively silence public squabbles.

We see those posts daily in the thread repeated over and over again. Are you going to pay the mods to keep it open? Someone has to prune the thread and quite frankly its a waste of their time and Ken's whenever they have to perform that task. (Time == Money) I have most of the people on ignore, it would be nice though to refresh the thread and not see "user is ignored" for an entire page of just Crumbs, VE, and LabKen talking to themselves. How is that helpful to anyone? Its not laziness its just annoying to have school kids whine and investor questions overlooked amidst all the personal battles being fought in the ActM thread.

The thread should stay unless Ken decides it should go.  IMO a new one should be made that's easier to read through, but the old should be preserved for the record.  Things are looking good for ActiveMining come end of first quarter 2014...trading will also resume with many of the other stocks and we will finally see the public deployment of Colored Coins, which IMO, will spur exponential growth in most viable BTC stocks.

I'm just holdin' onto my trousers, cause 'dis gun b gud!

>Active Miners want to delete a crappy thread.
>Start another crappy thread to do it.

D00ds, this thread sux.  Could you start another thread about deleting this one?

[damiano]

Crumbs had an informal warning yesterday as well, so I would think he will be on his best behavior for now on.

Although it would be fun to see him have a temp ban.

What business do mods have in a self-moderated thread. If the mods can just delete whatever they feel like from a self-moderated thread, then what's the fucking of having the option to create a self-moderated thread is the first place.

Mods are getting involved because posts keep getting reported. It doesn't matter if it's self-moderated or not.

I would agree with JoTheKhan that if we were to delete the thread, it could cause panic to the less-informed shareholders who start posting "OMG We're being scammed" threads. That would just open the door for MORE crap, IMO. In terms of image, this wouldn't help us anymore than just leaving the thread alone.
