Why did you abandon the old thread and switch to a self-moderated thread? I mean, stopping spam is important, but you don't want to overdo it on the censorship. If people have concerns those should be answered - moving to self-moderation isn't a long-term answer.
And yet it's not about censorship. The company isnt called Monaco. It's called crypto.com.
So they deserve a new thread. If it also includes the added bonus of being able to censor those that fud with no real proof then that's even better. Certain members in the last thread were notorious for it.
If it wasn't about censorship, at least to some extent, than why go from forum moderation to self-moderation. You could just start a new thread with your new name and updated information, link to the old thread as the starting point, keep forum moderation, and go from there.
Anyway, moderation to stop spam is fine, but sometimes you got to ask questions of a project when things aren't going well. Self-moderation means crypto.com can just decide what is ok and what isn't, rather than the forum operator.
