The Unintended Effects of Having Too Many Restrictions on the Forum

[Comeacross]

I will emphasise on the beginners and help board. I have said this before that it's almost impossible not to have a repetitive discussion in the beginner and several other boards. The forum has been in existence for more than a decade now, most important and genuine questions have been asked and answered several times. Not everyone was here that time. Both genuine and fake newbies find it hard to locate threads that address some of these issues. Some don't even put in effort to search the forum before rushing to create a thread.

The truth is there is basically no much to discuss like before. There's more posts almost every day but with just little to learn from them. How new accounts are popping out from nowhere is also insane. I made a thread about it some months back but it seems the idea was not welcomed by majority. This is the thread Bitcointalk attention scarcity. Can Bitcointalk adjust difficulty?

It's ridiculous how we complain about the noise in the forum but frown when measures are being taken to curb the noise.

Now all newbies from Nigeria are starting their "work experience" in the politics section in order to gain activity. Another section is the gambling section, again, to get statistics on future company signatures.
Therefore, OP, once again, all your "new" people are visible in the politics section, in the buy-sell topic and, of course, in the local section. Explain to them the importance of reading, not expressing your opinion, and creating topics (recurring regularly) that are not new, not once.

I'm not sure I've interacted directly with you before on the forum because I don't really see any reasons to. I dislike when people acts like racist when the obvious is in front of them.
Why are you bringing up my local board on this? Is there any where I specified that on this post? Look if you all use your racist shit on others, I'm different so save yourself the stress. The thread was never about my local board, so why bring them up? I already know that the likes of you dislikes people from the Nigerian local board because of how they chose to display on the forum but please don't bring up unnecessary things in discussions where there aren't necessary.. besides if you read through my reply to the mod on beginners and help board, you will see that I had no issues with locking those repetitive threads, i was only talking about the numerous locked thread on the different pages of the board.
