Why don't we just purge this forum of all Alt coin forums and focus on Bitcoin related information?

Let them start their own forum.

Just a thought?

Not the first time it's been suggested and you already have the support of the vast majority of the forum mods.

It would be pretty pointless. All the altcoin spam would just leak out to the main boards.

I disagree. It was only a matter of time before the number of altcoin posts outside the altcoin section dropped off dramatically after we became ruthless with moving the threads to the altcoin section, and I expect the same would happen with them being removed and only a dedicated altcoin forum (there are a few already) would accept them. So I'd expect a few months of outrage and noise followed by an eventual quietening down of the whole forum.

Is it possible to forbid altcoin discussions/topics and delete the altcoins categories from this forum ?

I guess that's a good point. Of course, we would lose quite the percantage of the user base, however that would reduce the amount of spam.

If theymos wanted, yes.

I have the same opiinion: altcoins sub forum is mainly spam (ANN. especially) and off-topic as we are on a bitcoin related forum.
We should do like the bitcoin wiki : altcoins is off topic / not allowed!
