If you think like that, then why not just delete these boards, since they're not Bitcoin-related ? Except Games and rounds, where there is something to say, and even, I would personnaly keep it, the other sections all have something interesting.

I don't find the Politics & Off topic sections discussing anything interesting but wouldn't want these sections to be deleted as they must have been introduced so that members can contriubte something useful. Users chasing activity points and misusing these sections would stop to an extent if these sections don't add up any activity points.

Some people does only posts to these sections, or a big part of their posts. Let's take bryan.coleman exemple. Is he considered as spammy ? He post a lot, maybe exclusively, in the Politics & society section. I'm not an expert of this section (I think that I even never posted there), it seems that like Meta, you can't spam like people do in the Games and rounds section.

Also, if we deleted the activity points given there, we would end up with ghost places, with no one in, because they would feel as excluded, and their contributions there would not be recognised.

I prefer to exclude politics and society (& games and rounds) and keep counting the other boards including off-topic (i think it is already heavily monitored so it shouldn't be a problem comparing to the previous months.)
Btw maybe a poll isn't a bad idea?

Why would we exclude Politics & society ? There's some interesting discussions that take place there. Most of them are well argumented and the posts there are qualitative.

I agree. There is nothing bitcoin related in this board, but that is no reason why we should exclude it.
And the amount of spam is also relatively less on this board.

Seems to me that section is less spammy because people actually have to read quite a bit of information before making a post and that would point to two things. The spammers are non-English speaking or lazy and just want to type "yes" or "this is very interesting" and be done with it.

If you want to have bitcoin as the main focus and hyper hole it,you will miss the off shoots and creative ideas that are on the fringes.

the number of posts that they could make would be very limited in comparison to other sections.

They only need one post,why give importance to the number ?

However, I think this is just useless cause 6 months from now there will be no account market and you will be able to buy a legendary for 0.05.This on an edge already.

In 6 months there will have the halving, so maybe the signature campaigns will lower their payout, so that's sure that the price will get lower.

Games & Rounds and Off-topic would be fine to exclude from the list. I see many trolls in Politics section as well and they aren't really discussing about anything related to bitcoins which again makes it Off-Topic.

I don't think this would stop spammers as I've seen people just posting without a signature and not even chasing activity points. They just love trolling while others anyways don't get paid for the above mentioned sections.

You have a very low bar set to qualify for "well argumented" sic.

Politics and Society is a cesspool for serial POV pushers.
Currently a "legendary" member, who I have never seen post anything remotely on the subject of Bitcoin, has eight dubiously sourced and spun POV threads on the first page, sixteen on the first two pages.

Take a look thru the threads, the same names time and again pushing the same agendas.
If Theymos is happy to have his forum used as a stage for this continual propaganda, that's up to him.
If people want to talk round and round in ill informed circles on complex subjects they barely understand, that's fine too, but why should they collect activity rating for doing that on a Bitcoin forum when their activity has nothing to do with Bitcoin?

The names given as activity increases, 'Senior' 'Hero' 'Legendary' imply some meritorous aspect to it. How is endlessly creating threads and posting in off core topic threads in any way meritorious?
What is the point of any activity rating if it doesn't refer to the core reason for this forum, Bitcoin?

If we are talking bout account farmers then they could simply make a long post or ask a question instead in any of the eligible sections. NO ?

Sure they could. However, the number of posts that they could make would be very limited in comparison to other sections. Unless you think that it would not be obvious if someone asked an unusually high amount of questions via multiple threads/posts. Besides, one could always suggest them to use PM for further questions.

I concur. Considering the suggested sections so far, Politics & Society seems the least likely candidate (quality wise).

Off topic is not yet heavily moderated. There is improvent but nothing too big has changed.
Is it possible that posts that'll be included in activity update should have a minimum characters in it? I mean, like a post should have a 150 charaters or more in it to be counted.

Your point being? Meta is carefully watched and they'd expose themselves more easily in such sections. It is much harder to contribute in some and avoid detection/punishment.

@Heutenamos : Okay how much can they spam in the Staked address thread?And how ? Doesn't make sense to me.

Why would they spam ? they only need one eligible post to get the potential.That was just an example but in reality there are hundreds of such instances where mods don't delete short posts.

I don't see the point of this thread,my suggestions would depend on WHY thermos is trolling.

Open thread -> Count total number of posts -> Deduce posts made by people in sig. campaigns from the total -> Look at remaining number (percentage wise) -> It should make sense now.

It isn't and no. Off-topic is among those sections that is used to farm up accounts (basically it became a trash section).

Yeah this guy is right, just look at his own posts here, totally shit so he can increase his post count, however by restricting certain sections it makes it harder for spammers to spam.

Which guy are you talking about here ? Be specific ? Assuming its me :
1.My signature campaign is fixed rate ,only pays for 20 posts maximum per week.
2.They don't pay for posts in Meta section.
3.What is your definition of shit posts ? Please explain.
However I have listed out a few if your posts which definitely satisfies my definition of shit-posts.

Quote from: GannickusX on December 31, 2015, 12:51:36 PM

Is the campaign manager even looking at these posts?

Could you elaborate "elsewhere"? How can you make posts of 5-10 characters in the Meta section? Meta section is always on High priority as compared to G & R ,so mostly the shit posts will be nuked by the Mods anyway.Moreover the posts in G & R or Investor Based Games are totally shit which doesn't contribute to the forum or bitcoins,just potential activity spammers.We need the changes indeed!

loll.. why cant they ? simple example would be "Stake your Bitcoin address here"
