Save Bitcoin Discussion subforum

[coinlocket$]

Just report the posts to mods so they will remove them, all my reports (around 6k) have been marked (read) from moderators.
In the end, don't expect that a mod will read the whole forum, but if you report the message they will read what you will report.

I too would love to "reclaim" Bitcoin Discussion. I barely go there now, and thus don't report posts there. Unlike the altcoin board (where I report many posts like "great project" from automated searches), Bitcoin Discussion has much more "generic shitposts". If ever a cleanup starts, and the board gets one or more dedicated Mods, I'm willing to do my share to start a massive cleanup.

I report shitloads of posts in BD and they all get handled reasonably quickly. So don't wait for dedicated mods, get on it

I'm also interested in a massive cleanup in Bitcoin Discussion.
What I would like to achieve is to have a lot's of topics deleted, because spammers and bounty hunters would only care about the post count, and you can only decrease their post count effectively (not one by one) if you delete spam megathreads and those where they only post average meaningless replies.
I know that we surely will lose some decent replies too, but if this is the price we have to pay for a clean section, I won't be too worried about it...
Or, we could ask for a development, not to let the merited (but just the merited) posts to delete from a thread, so if you delete a spam megathread which contain some merited good quality posts (I know the chance for that...) they will remain and the topic can live on with the quality posts.

I think we need to get to a stage where inappropriate topics are either moved or trashed soon after posting, and threads are actively patrolled for signs they are turning in to spam mega threads and locked down way before they get to 20+ pages of trash. We need more reporting and more moderators to get there. We also need to lock all the old spam mega-threads that are available to be bumped. It's all well and good reporting threads to be locked, and the usually are promptly, but I regularly see threads that have been dead for several months being bumped back to the front page with the usual meaningless drivel.

Nuke it 
Why to archive the sh*t by locking the topics?
And locking won't decrease the post count as well...
If we start to clean up at least the Bitcoin Discussion, and nuke a lot of unnecessary post, spammers will avoid the place, because they will learn sooner or later that there's no use to spam in BD because it won't make them any money on the long run... and this is the key in connection with spammers...

Volunteers can make changes. I think the Club we made put a stick into the wheel to many spamers, bumping bots and fake projects.

We stopped the hompgraph attacks, we closed down many fake ANN threads who were using paid bots to gain popularity.Many plagiarists got busted too. You may say too strong words, but it's true and i'm proud of being part of it.

The good thing is that we are growing in number and popularizing the use of report to the mods button.

I'm not active as before but till the end of January all my renovation projects should be over (hopefully but I still doubt that) and I'll share more of my time here again.
