Well, the admin started a shop for some additional features on the forum.
For those who haven't seen it, here:
Altcoins Talks ShopSince the shop thread is only for those who buy some of the offered features, I will open this thread for discussion, I am very interested in the opinions of other members. I will mention only one part, the one that probably interests all members the most, anyway, everyone should visit the shop thread for more info.
What is available to buy ?

I am personally of the opinion that some things are excessive, and several things from this offer should certainly be a regular possibility on the forum. Especially the part about deleting your own posts. It simply happens, a wrong post and without the possibility of removal, it already turns into spam.
Yes, I understood that it was due to the manipulation of forum points, but I would certainly try to solve it differently, for example by deducting the same points for each deleted post.
Next, until now I received an email notification for the first reply in a discussion in which I participate, from now on it is only a paid feature?
Also, to have the possibility of locking your topic, most often in the prevention of spam, it is necessary to pay. I'm not sure I understand the point, except that it's somehow discouraging users from opening new discussions, because they can never finish it.
Personally, I don't have a big problem even under the current conditions, but I have the feeling that it is set up incorrectly and too much work is burdened on the moderators. Isn't it easier for me to just send the admins a link to the post that needs to be deleted or the thread that needs to be locked?
Finally, I am certainly not against Altcoinstalk collecting additional funds, but I believe that this may not be the best way because this forum still needs to be strengthened and to achieve that, it is necessary to facilitate its use as much as possible.
note: Still, the most important required feature is not available (mention notification), I hope that one moment when bitmover finishes it, it will not be too expensive
