Lock the 1xBit thread.

[SatoPrincess]

What are the importance/essence of ANN threads;

• It serves as a page for the project in BTT for advertisement purposes
• It is where the project owners meet the forum members to answer their questions and provide updates
• It also serve as a review thread of the project

If the above two has failed, the 3rd hasn't failed and it's actually working against 1xbit.

Right now, thread is over 350 pages long, there’s enough information on the thread and other topics on the forum as well that shows that 1xbit is a proven scam casino. But the reality is that 1xbit has wide reach due to its promotions and people do not seem to be doing research on the company. I don’t see the added benefit of letting the conversation continue, people will only find ways to digress from the discussion to other things.

This forum is as free as possible, I don't think moderators will ban it because it's getting spammed cause it's an ann thread created by a casino and they haven't requested to lock the topic. They can come and ask, why did you locked my topic and they'll be right.
1xBit thread is partially abused by some people to increase the number of posts but at the same time, there are still many people who become victims of this casino. When someone becomes a victim and is looking for support, bitcointalk.org traditionally appears in their Google search result. It's easy for newcomers to find ANN thread on Google, click on it, register and post their problems there. If we lock it, then they'll be confused about where to post about their problem. I think it's better to report spammers with an explanation for moderators to really remove their comments.

The copy of the report I sent to moderators:

While I am aware that this is classified as an "Old post", apart from the obvious fact that the website is the infamous 1xbit scam, not only has the management abandoned the forum in May 2023, this thread has almost 400 pages worth of posts, with hundreds of these posts coming from after the thread became unmonitored. It is safe to say that this thread has lost its original meaning, and therefore should be locked.

The OP of the 1xbit thread was last online on May 25, 2023.

The last few dozens of pages are literally only about how the casino is a scam, which we all know, and given that the account itself is not even posting any updates about their site, there is no reason to leave this thread open as it is just a noise-generator.

Am still wondering what others are posting on the thread after which they are no more existing on the forum, if they had done the usually expectations to clear themselves off the mess they got themselves into, they would have nonreason for leaving no matter what, but maybe we should still keep an eye on them, sooner anything may still shows up that we see another representative coming to address their issues as they have always been doing in the past.
