One could also argue that there is no reason to act like a guardian or treat newbies like kids. The thing with bitcoin is that there essentially is no one protecting you and you have to get used to it.
K, removed that part.
That is how I learned things here.
I did read this post yesterday that I think is very troubling.
+1 posts would have been fine in my opinion if it weren't for sig campaigns. Getting paid for posting meaningless posts is the problem, so once you disallow them for people with sig campaigns you have to disallow them for everyone else.
Following that logic signature campaigns make this board more and more useless for other people. What can we do about this?
I think I as a participant can make sure my posts are fine or just dont post them.
I think campaign managers need to think who to pay. Im not sure if removing section after section is the right way, but I am certainly willing to try it.
Edit:Maybe we could start to post here which posts are of someone wearing a dadice signature are (elaborated) spam?
I am no particular fan of publicly shaming someone into conformation, but it would certainly give you ndnhc a few ideas who to look closer at.
Yes, that is an issue.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11132175No, I don't think discussing with examples like that will be a good idea. There will be WAR, lol.
Also, many genuine participants, who simply are not quality posters will feel bad too.

I dont think that posting someone's post spam here is a good idea, since doing so will lead this thread into a quarrel thread between few other people who trashed someone's post by considering it as a spam. Best thing to do is to PM ndnhc privately about someone's spam post
How should we encourage participants who post in relevant boards like Gambling board?
We shouldn't do this, everyone should be free on where to posts, by encouraging someone with less interest to post in the gambling boards will only lead the board to be spammed by the spammers
It is a debatable topic. lol.
From the campaign viewpoint, it is fair. Those who make the campaign effective should be rewarded more, however insignificant that may be, that those who may not. I am only talking about a small incentive, may be a bonus for those who actually post in the boards associated with the campaign. It might result in campaigns excluding certain members otherwise. So, speaking long term, this is actually good for those who are interested in other boards.
Lower the post cap as I proposed. I think every campaign should do that it should be forum regulated rule.
Or maybe you have better idea?
why is limiting the post is an excelent way of reducing the spam posts?please elaborate more of this. if you check on the weekly/ bi weekly sig campaign with small posts requirement, you can actually see that most of them are still spamming their post count at almost the end of their pay week
In short,
spammers will always spam no matter what the post requirement is, best thing to do is to warn them or to cut off their payment immediately. The current idea of ndnhc to check on personally each posts is actually a good idea, lets see how this goes for tomorrow
The max limit is kept to keep a check on forced posting. That is the only reason that is keeping us from raising it as suggested.
No, reducing it further, will not have a good effect.
Thanks
