WTF is your problem, this is not a MYR thread, we don't care, please go away.
This. i don't understand why the original post was even made. It has no relationship to Monero at all.
This is not a spam thread. If it persists we will have to switch to self-moderated. Nobody wants that but irrelevant spam and two pages of posts responding to spam can't be allowed to continue.
Making a self moderated thread for this coin would be the dumbest thing you can possibly do. As soon as you make that self moderated thread, there'll be others making a unmoderated thread to voice their biased opinions, just because you made a self moderated thread....
Not to mention it makes it seem as if the coin is ruled by you, as you decide who has a say on the thread and who doesn't. While you may be an open person that allows others to voice their opinions, a self moderated thread would make it seem the exact opposite.
All opinions on Monero are welcome and even encouraged, including negative ones. Off topic spam posts are not welcome.
Even with a self-moderated thread there are mirror sites where one can see what was deleted. Only off topic spam posts would ever be deleted, not on-topic but critical ones. There is no issue of transparency or suppressing opposing views.
As I said it is not my first choice but it is not acceptable to have pages and pages of off topic noise that makes this thread unworkable as a Monero thread for people who are actually interested in Monero and especially people looking for help with Monero.
In the short run, a self moderated thread might seem a good thing to do, with not as much active posters. In the long term however, it'll backfire on you, as users would complain(even lie), that you deleted their posts, or how the thread is unfair because criticism gets deleted etc etc. In the eye of newbies, it would also seem suspicious(in the long run) to have a self moderated thread run by one of Monero's Core team, they would feel that you have something to hide and that would lead to assumptions, and eventually accusations.
