Last time the price of Bitcoin was changing wildly a lot of you expressed a want to ban such posts. As an experiment, we are starting a temporary ban on such posts for the time being. Please report any memes, meaningless posts about the price ("400 USD/BTC, Bitcoin's crashing!" without any extra content for example) or emotional posts (both written under emotions and created to influence the emotions of others).
This is a temporary ban and a test whether this is a proper approach to take during such situations to make /r/Bitcoin a useful resource even during times of rapid price changes. Feedback is welcome - this is an experiment after all.
If anyone wants to post memes, please go to /r/bitcoinmemes , or for everything else go to /r/BitcoinLax (a more lax subreddit).
EDIT:
This ban is mainly aimed at non-content posts. You can discuss and talk about the current situation and price crash, but don't resort to posts like "OMG! Bubble popped! Sell, sell, sell!", or "400 USD/BTC WTF?".
The reason the ban was put in place is to reduce the volume of short, meaningless submissions to give posts about actual news more exposure. Here is a comic explaining how this works from /r/Atheism.
