Not because of the coin itself, I am totally supportive and in favor of LTBc and think it is an incredible innovation to reward users for participation. However, the spam that is showing up on the forums has become so painfully apparent that it almost makes them not worth looking at.
Comments that are actually worth responding to and ideas that are interesting are lost in a sea of worthless one word comments that are only present to increase that users post-count for the week's distribution. Threads that are months old getting bumped with the same type of a comment. Usernames that are jibberish and obviously just another fake account in someone's database of accounts to spam from.
It's overwhelming. Aside from the fact that it's a disincentive to people to participate because their share distribution has to include all of the spammers, no one wants to comb through a thread and pick out the one or two relevant comments. The value that could have been there built from actual engagement is beginning to be impossible unless you manage to spot a new thread before the spammers have bloated it with garbage.
Seriously, things that one google search or click on a link in the sidebar are repeatedly asked. I don't even want to think what happens on the non-English boards which could be random typing for all I know.
