The problem is they feel altcoins hurt them and they THINK they are better because they focus on a REAL coin! You can sense it between every word. They are shooting themselves in the foot. You see this stuff everyday. I thought bitcoin people were different. Just another day I guess....
You are absolutely right. I still believe Doge did more good to the community and people are getting excited on opportunities like Bitcoin was years ago. Never underestimate the power of marketing.

You are are joking about Doge right? A few own and manipulate the market then payoff members to spread FUD about every other coin and fill everywhere with spam threads about how great Doge is - bitcointalk, other altcoin forums and subbeddits ,news sites, utube comments........ Come on wake up - sold as coin for the kids - like selling crack from an ice cream van in bags with scooby-doo on them.

Says there's a giveaway in the OP, and someone is paying. Also looks like some are using newly created accoumts to bump their giveaway posts. Might not be a good idea to let people link them from here after all. Or not allow threads that only link to giveaways, only as an addendum in an existing thread.

Good call. The main Alt Forum page already looks a lot cleaner.
It does look a lot cleaner. Now can we get the newbie jail back to clean up the rest of the site? lol

whiekl everybody likes free coins this mess was too big and i can see admins not liking that. 100s of giveway threads - loads of them fake.
solution? do off site giveaways or in the official thread of the coin, not create 100s of new topics.

I like it. A proper seperate forum is a necessity for any proper coin anyways. edit: If someone made an ANN topic that said: " PM me your address and I'll send you x coins!", would that be an offense to the new rules or not?

But: Se this basically means that we will no longer be able to receive coins for free ?
You can, just do it off-site or over PM. edit: best post ITT is #100 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=434310.msg4781139#msg4781139 edit2: How about an altcoin /b/ with 5 pages, threads reaching page 6 get deleted?

my two cents, As a newcomer who found this site as the result of an altcoin I was looking into, Giveaways are a pain in the ass, along with the i'm selling x million of *insert coin* I have participated in a total of 2 giveaways after having already mined the coin, giveaways will NOT persuade me to try a coin, the coin setup, dev team and coin community will do that for me. Why should bitcointalk pay to allow you advertise? The hosting fees, staff time to moderate the forum etc those of you putting out new coins are reaping the benefits of someone else investment, and while I acknowledge that bitcointalk could benefit from the traffic you bring, advertising revenue, why should you get to benefit of their initial investment? with no risk to yourself? other than one person I have not heard anyone say they would be willing to put any of their money/bitcoins up to be able to continue to do this. The admin has, in my opinion, been very gracious in saying you can list your offsite giveaway just don't run it on this site. Last time I checked websites are the ownership and property of the registrant not the community, and quite frankly if you come to my home or to my business, you will conduct yourself in a manner I NOT YOU deem acceptable, and if you don't then let me show you the door. People this is not a democracy, if you want a forum to be run as such put your money where your mouth is and go start altcointalk.org.

there is actually a special site where you can have giveaways. Its called cryptocointalk. So, its simple just post you giveaways there and use this forum for actual only [Suspicious link removed]. I think there is no problem in that.
"CRYPTOCOINTALK" WILL NEVER RESTRICT MEMBERS / DEVELOPERS FROM RUNNING GIVEAWAYS.

People don't seem to understand. Essentially we are saying, we don't want your coin spam here. Take it to your own forums, Bitcointalk doesn't cater to thousands of threads about *insert coin*. We aren't motivated to keep the conversation here, so a vote wont do anything, we are trying to get you to take your conversations elsewhere.
People that are saying, FIX IT OR WE WILL LEAVE! thats kind of our intentions. Obviously we don't want people to leave the bitcoin discussion here, but we do want you to take the majority of your altcoin discussion elsewhere. This is Bitcointalk, it can't handle the alt coin discussion volume for 600 different coins, so we are asking that you take it to your own forums.
KeyserSozeMC, we are trying to get people to do exactly what you are doing. Creating your own forums for giveaways like you are doing, I actually really appreciate it.
The main point here that is irritating that people are ignoring, if we don't cut down the post spam, IE hundreds of thousands of posts of people just pasting their addresses, we will lose the entire section. I for one would like to keep the Alt Currency section, however people seem to be ignoring the fact that creating a giveaway subforum wont help. We want the excess spam off of Bitcointalk, not just jammed in a different corner.
From the original post in this thread: "Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here." We don't want spam, but we allow spam elsewhere in a specific section for the spam, but we won't make a spam section here because we don't want spam. I just love this logic...... You don't see the difference in giveaway spam for one coin that this forum was created for, and giveaway spam for 600 separate altcoins? Can't really help you if you don't. soooo, is it that ALL giveaways are banned? or just non-BTC giveaways? or is there really no difference?

Can I suggest all [ANN] threads also require a relevant website domain too, or perhaps a link to their own forum?
if it's called SuperDuperCoin then they should have SuperDuperCoin.org/com at least.... info domains are too cheap.
Since new coins require nothing to produce a URL at least raises the bar a little.
