Honestly, I wish I could overthrown theymos, do a Bukele and start banning people all around. I feel like theymos/mods here are too lenient to spamming, like a judiciary system that allows criminals to keep commiting crimes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying mods are useless or that they do a bad job, or that it's their fault that they don't nuke everyone. I'm just saying that I would be a ruthless dictator.

My first impression: I'd love it!
But: then I realized every other forum on the planet does that already, and yet, I'm posting here, not elsewhere. So this place must be doing something right (for me) too

Like, why allow the Bitcoin Discussion board to be a megaspam fest?
Agreed. I've said it before: Bitcoin Discussion should be one of the most interesting boards on the forum, but I can't even get myself to read it now.
