Yanonovich is back from their ban and doing what they always did:

One replied and said he wasn't getting paid to do it but I think there must be some possibility of a reward at least for doing so. Banned Yanonovich since he didn't listen.
I've just PMd one guy about it to find out what's going on. I'll give them all a warning to knock it off later.
Has there been any answer about the reason for spamming the G&R section?OlegBarca announces streams in a similar manner (#115 as of now, most threads should be removed for affiliate spam, too):

Yaronovich (mentioned in this thread earlier) still posts daily threads:

And this looks like ref spam:
It is. I don't really get why you quote it instead of deleting it though. Shinjo's post history is filled with the same ref spam. That explains the explosion of streaming threads, they earn from it.Join us for Giveaway. Leave your Stake Username .
It's a giveaway that doesn't even say what they're giving away.Personally, I think plain announcements of streams without any further in-thread content are pointless and spam.
Agreed. They can post this in the site's main thread if they want people to switch to twitch. Now they're just using Bitcointalk to get more traffic global moderator

I've reported a few of those cases as affiliate spam in the past.With the recent increase in threads, I figured getting a general ruling rather than just reporting one thread after another would be better.
Wonder if they're getting told or rewarded to do it.
I'd say that's very likely. global moderator

They all should probably be trashed. They shouldn't be having more than one thread for sure and following the one bump per 24 hours rule. Are they even giving bitcoin away?
I think we're all used to the games and rounds section being filled with tiny giveaway threads, sports match predictions and stuff like that.
Lately, it's also being heavily spammed by announcements for streams (mostly people gambling), which amounts for up to 3 or 4 new threads per single stream. I'll add a few examples.

Personally, I think plain announcements of streams without any further in-thread content are pointless and spam.
At the very max, streamers should stick to one thread for their streams and update those thread, rather than creating new ones every day (or more than just a single one per day).
[This does not include threads related to streams that actually include a giveaway/serve a purpose. For example threads such as this one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/edwards-stream-giveaway-thread-1939189 ]
