How to keep forum clean from similar and crap threads.

[LTU_btc]

I agree that Brand New and Newbie accounts makes lot of crap threads with stupid questions. But I think that restricting to start threads for these users isn't perfect solution. Many people with new accounts came here to make their service announcements, how they would have to make announcement if such restrictions would be implemented? Farm account until reach Jr. Member rank? Buy account? Hire someone to post announcements and spend money for it? But maybe restricting to make threads only in Bitcoin Discussion board can be good solution.

I agree with this suggestion. Many newbies today are creating their own thread without even checking on the seacrh button if there's already a thread on it. Some are just creating it to boost their post count and turn to jr. rank. Some threads are non sense and irrelevant to Bitcoin. I have seen this rampant on Philippines and Bitcoin discussion forum. If your suggestion will push, then they will be required to search for the thread that they have questions. This way, the thread will be clean.

Of course it's not perfect, but why let perfect get in the way of the good.  I think it's at least worth trying.   My guess is that there'll be a marked improvement in the quality of new threads.  People shoot down suggestions just because they won't eliminate every conceivable problem, but that just hinders progress.  Not sure if theymos even reads these threads, but he really needs to kick some ass and get this place cleaned up.

That would be very helpful to all of us. It is true that newbies usually ask the same questions over and over again. The forum should to do something with that indeed. Something like the option when a user can wear an avatar only from rank of full member, so that would be an option to start a new topic from rank of jr. member or member, cause of between newbie and jr. member ranks the period of time is too short.

That will be another positive or plus point of implementing this, we are working here since a long time and we have spent our time on this forum and gained trust, so i believe it is a defraud if someone from outside with a brand new account came and start managing campaigns and make other announcements of their company or coin instead of hiring already trusted or working members of this forum.

I agree with you. It will be good if you create of poll regarding this issue on this forum, i will vote for it.

Maybe because it wasn't perfect. You can make your bot account post with the intervals desired by the jail and you can make them level up the account so that it leaves the jail. One way to deal with it would be to add a merit requirement, but this would require people with merit to read and reward posts in the jail. There are no perfect scenarios I guess.
