Topic: Giveaway mega-thread with a little doubt. (Read 226 times)

Posting giveaway threads, and weekly social media links outside the bounty board is not allowed. But there are some users who are lost, and they post their weekly reports on a topic that was posted on ANN Altcoins board which only add as spam.

There are two pinned posts on bounty section that allows us to post our weekly reports:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/users-posting-joined-type-posts-when-not-required-or-allowed-will-be-banned-2284371
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/incentivizing-posting-via-low-effort-tasks-likes-follows-etc-is-not-allowed-3953664

Good catch, I was leave my feedback there about it.

Actually I will not consider this post as a give away thread. Because airdrop post is allow as well. But they are partially bumping the thread. Because it's not part of airdrop to reply on thread. Maximum ICO use Google form for airdrop. They can collect user id easily from Google form. They not pay if no reply with registration id. It's clearly indicate they are paying for bumping thread. And paying for bumping if prohibited.


No confusion about proof of authentications, it's asking for confirm ownership of bitcointalk account. I have noticed some case before that they some one submit wrong information, like I am submit your bitcointalk id and other details
 In a result you submit again that same form with same details, so you will be disqualify due to multiple submission. That's why managers asked proof of authentication. And weekly report is mandatory any how you have to collect. Also some managers using Google form to collect weekly report. Any how if managers think it's easy to calculate than they can required to reply on thread with report. We can't consider it give away or bumping. Because they are paying for report. Not for reply or bumping. You can edit your reply always with next week report. About signeture it's important to reply on thread due to confirmation of account ownership & check user details easily.

They're quite close but this one is a bit different. If a topic rewards users for simply "just" posting a comment and in return, rewarding those posters then it's a giveaway thread but if users are required to do some other tasks in order to get their rewards, then it's not a giveaway (based on my observation).

I am a bit confuse about giveaway threads. What I understand from this is, encouraging members to comment on a topic in return of an incentive should consider as giveaway. And in this case the following topic is a giveaway topic.

Asking to post registration ID for airdrop which led the topic to have 123 pages of replies If you scroll to the comments then you will realize the definition of spamming.




These are some samples from around 2440 replies. I hope mod take steps against this spammy topic (if my guess as giveaway topic is not wrong).

Archive for reference.

Now let's comeback to my confusion. If this is not allowed (giveaway thread) then how about bounties that are asking for proof of authentications or asking to post weekly reports? The posters are actually getting incentives (tokens) for posting those reports/proof of authentications. I guess signature campaigns are  somehow different though.
