One of the staff suggested excluding the Bounties (Altcoins) board from activity calculation / post count which I'm totally for.

I concur with that idea.

Seems a bit too heavy handed. As I mentioned, I'd rather the Bounties section simply not contribute to the post count. Doesn't punish the legit users who are there to apply to bounties but doesn't allow the spammers to pad their post count / activity.

Why? It is strict, but very easy to *implement* and enforce. I am even working on moving signature campaign applications, of the campaigns that I manage, off of the forum.

In a world of peaches, don't ask for apple sauce

I doubt it'll stop the spam since those newbies sooner or later are going to become Jr. Members (quite often by farming their accounts in other sections). TBH, this would just hurt legit users more than it would the spammers.

I'd like to expand the idea as follows: Ban/remove any bounty campaign that does not use Google Forms (or similar) for submissions. Using this is: a) More efficient. b) Doesn't spam Bitcointalk with useless enrollment posts. @mprep should take a look at this.

Hail Eris!

I give props to anyone with enough skill to get a bot to sign up for a bounty, make enough posts and meet their criteria, and get paid.

The bounty section is flooded with new accounts that 'join' all kinds of bounties, even when they are closed. Probably lot's of bots, never reading anything in the threads. Posting reports, even when not needed, even when the bounty is over.

Would it be a nice idea to exclude newbies from that section of the forum? To stop the spam?
