Yeah, there's a good chance it might, but seniors aren't the only people who use this forum. Seniors also have the option like anyone else to either block the subforum from view or just not go in there. If you value a senior such as 'DeathAndTaxes' the same as the average newbie/Joe here, there is something very wrong. That's quite an elitist thing to say. Does DeathAndTaxes hold an authoritative opinion here on something? I measure weight by merit, but that doesn't mean I discredit the opinion or views of the 'average joe' here. After all, this isn't a forum just for senior members, is it? Banning the alt coin section is like somebody trying to get something banned that doesn't or shouldn't effect them. Why would the alt coin section effect or annoy you? Just either ignore it or don't go there then that's those people sorted.

I took him as an example as his posts tend to be constructive and they stand out. From what I've seen the newbies post, 99% was utter nonsense and FUD.

Newbies do post a lot of crap, but there's some hero members that do to. I'm also sure there's lots of potential future DeathAndTaxes and quality contributors amongst the newbs. We were all newbs once, but I do think the newbie section quarantine should be brought back though.

Look at these 100 coins http://coinmarketcap.com/Almost all of them born in this subforum. We should be worried about all scams and pump and dumps, that's true, but shut down the forum won't finish with that problem for cryptocurrencies community.

![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Actually while I was quickly reading through this, I found uncommon similarities while reading that post and remembering what I had previously posted here. At least now it is gone. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Whilst we are limiting people places to find information on a whole sub section of the next generation currencies, could we also start campaigns (1) to limit free speech (2) to start hunting whales again! (3) to Stop being dicks (4) raise funds for me, to help with my sarcasism
If you dont like reading something, then dont type in the address, click on the link, and read it, just stay in the bitcoin section. its fairly simple really.

Fairly clear winner if you ask me for shear usage, it doesn't make sense to remove the most active section.

Those figures aren't probably too far off ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . The percentage of useful posts in the Bitcoin forum would be far less though if all the newb threads weren’t moved out of it ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) .

Amazing how this discussion can keep going round in circles. This is not a popularity contest. This forum was created to serve the bitcoin community. Altcoins are not that, even if you want them to be, or interpret it to be. Saying what the forum owners should care about based on popularity and what you care about is rich. One could argue exactly the opposite: If three times the posts on this forum are about offtopic stuff, then removing irrelevant discussions would decrease the already overloaded forum to only 1/4 its load.

Also that the altcoin section contains like 700+ coins, versus the one bitcoin. Not so impressive when you look at it like that.
Also that a lot of the posts are just spam. Wonder by how much it would drop if all the giveaway threads were deleted.

I do my best to try to report the posts I see that are blatantly out of line, but I do think there are some major updates needed in terms of the regulation of that board. I'm not entirely sure how that'd be handled, as I'm sure mods are stretched thin as it is. EDIT:
P.S. I vote to Sticky my "Alt Coin Scam Trends" thread ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Shameless self-promotion? Possibly. However I do think the thread is useful, especially with how crowded that place is getting.

At the very least, give the well established coins, their own sub-section... Litecoin and Namecoin...
The rest? "Well established" should be a very high bar to reach, and IMHO, none of the others have reached it.

Then dogecoin will claim they're established and want their own sections.

Then dogecoin will claim they're established and want their own sections. If they're that established they will already have their own forums. Most other forums like Litecoin are dead any way. Having one alt coin section is fine and probably wont be going away any way, but asking for changes to it is probably futile.

Just my opinion, I think Alt-coins are a part of Bitcoin and should be included in the forum. The majority of Alts have sprung from the Bitcoin protocol and each coin should include a sub-section, if possible.

Then dogecoin will claim they're established and want their own sections. Sure, they'll claim it, just like all of the other ones will, but that doesn't make it so... when a coin is well established, you won't have fanbois trying to hype it up as such. =squeak=
