Though I voted for it would be all peachy but still this thread needs attention and I hope we can have some serious talk about it.
Why not consider moving this thread to Ivory Tower board?
What is the Ivory Tower board? (sorry, clueless..)

You can find it here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=251.0 it's a child board of serious discussion.
It restricts members from posting if they are newbies, jr. members, etc, so spammers won't have a chance to take over the conversation flooding your topic with meaningless shitposts....
To cut the long story short, you can find quality topics and discussions there, go and check it out, you'll be surprised if you used to just read Bitcoin Discussion and other boards with a lot of spam megathreads.
