What the frig?  When is this shit going to end?  This forum is going to hell in a hand cart with all these frigging newbie morons asking stupid frigging questions everywhere.

RIDICULOUS IDEA.

Effectively we are observing a small flooding of newbie posts in every section...  Undecided

Please report insubstantial and off-topic posts as well as very insubstantial topics. They should be deleted or moved.

This, while I don't really agree with the removal of the newbie requirements, I haven't seen any substantial out of place newbie spam, maybe one or two threads in the last day or two, I had expected a lot more. People are talking about the flood of topics, but I can't seem to find them. Please report them people.

Yes, the newbie section was a good thing.
I would hunt for easy questions with no reply and help the newbies.

Hardly anyone posts in there now they're not forced to, and I think most of the new threads have been moved from elsewhere  Grin.

I don't think it's been bad. I've seen a few odd posts and threads but not nearly as bad as it would have been a year ago. I ran a poll asking what coin newbies were here for just before the end of the newbie section and most were here for an altcoin. That's kind of keeping Bitcoin Discussion from being bombed with stupidity. I assumed the public move away from Bitcoin was part of the reason the decision was made to remove the restrictions. Didn't theymos know it wouldn't have much of an effect before the restrictions were lifted?

I'll admit it's not been as bad as expected, but there has been a notable albeit slight increase in newb spam. I'd personally still prefer a newbie jail though.

I think most people do actually come here for the alts now, but I'm sure most will transition other eventually. I see crapcoins as letting the kids have some toys to play with, but they'll soon get bored and outgrow them... especially when they realise they wont become a millionaire off those millions of doges they’ve been holding and can't buy fuck all with them in the future Grin.

I for one really enjoyed the four hour limitation - I learned more in that time than most people who claim to be interested in Bitcoin learn within a month.

I vow never to use this space for sleazy referrals, gambling, spam, or to beg for handouts.

Good idea to charge for a fee, It brings in revenue for you and asylum for a potential scammer.  Cheesy

Wait, so you can get banned and come back again by paying a fee?

Ironically, Atlas was once banned for suggesting such.

Tough changes for people who got demoted, still don't know how I haven't seen a single "whatever pharmacy online buy drugs online now" thread in this forum yet. Looks like mods are doing a pretty good job.

I've seen so many threads being moved in the Bitcoin discussion sub forum I think they have been doing a great job.
