Where should these advice threads be posted? I believe that there is a need for them if Bitcoin Talk is to regain credibility in the crypto world.
In my humble opinion, the thread belonged to the Beginners & help board, since it is about your personal experience and oppinion. I think it should be far more useful in there than in reputation (I can't understand why the mods moved the thread to reputation since it is not related to any kind of accusation, it is just a statement about your own perception). Meta also seems ok, I don't get why they moved it to reputation...
I get a bit concerned that I'm trying to push Bitcoin Talk in a direction that mods and admin don't think is correct. I'm hoping that Bitcoin Talk wiil be the place to discuss the new Government cryptos when they arrive. Because of the strong membership base here, especially in the populations of the emerging countries, I think it will be a great place to gauge popular opinion. If we are to do this, then we need to present a more professional image, and allow the extremely good technical and economic posts and posters to become more obvious.
Me too. I suppose, when the time comes to discuss such matters (well, it is already in here), we will still have the Serious Discussion, if it is able to survive to the new whale of stupid threads. On the "legal" childboard we have had some good discussions already regarding the poloniex issue, the new regulations, etc. The problem is that this is a Bitcoin Discussion's childboard, and maybe you have it ignored ('??). Anyway, the good topics are always getting lost in between al the crappy ones in the child too.
