Why I am turning my back on bitcointalk. It just doesnt work anymore.

I think we need self moderation, so users can reword themselves (something like reddit upvoting).

That works on reddit, but not on forums. There is no use in self moderating when any negative note in security of altcoin forums gets down voted into oblivion. Self moderating only works when there is a high majority of users that moderate in the best interest of the forum, not in the best interest of their own gain. Such majority does not seem to exist on bitcointalk.

I think heavy mod moderation won't help. I think we need self moderation, so users can reword themselves (something like reddit upvoting). Another thing that might help is (maybe) filters, so user can predefine rules what to display.

When I say we need a lot more mods I don't mean so much that every word you say is being moderated. But we do need more so we can just remove the ridiculous content. Something like reddit upvoting wouldn't work well when there's just so much bad content.

You're actually right. There are way too many trolls around. Just look around the altcoin and off topic section. Reddit upvoting wouldn't work on the forums anyways.
