Signature is something that identifies a person, so I would have left it too. Just need to install fewer symbols so that a person does not waste time thinking.

1. To attain ranks above Member, you'd have to earn some number of merit points. Merit points would be awarded in a monthly vote on best posts of the previous month, with various measures (TBD) to prevent gaming of the vote. Winning merit points might also come with a BTC prize.
How many users move from Member to Full Member each month? If it's thousands, it'll be a lot of work to vote.

i'd wholeheartedly agree to the idea of having a 'disable signatures' idea for thread starters; it'd be a simple fix for people who want an actual discussion that would eliminate a lot of spammers. however, i feel these threads would be 'covered up' really quickly by threads that allow signatures, just from the fewer number of users that would post in those threads, and would just die out real quick.
Could topics which have the "no signature" feature enabled get a higher ranking on their respective board, to make up for getting less posts? Or, as an alternative: give these topics a color that stands out on the board.

The earning merit points part could work to some extent, but I disagree with the BTC part because that wouldn’t improve anything, rather you would be overpaying people who are already writing quality posts and getting paid a lot.
Instead of a price in BTC, it could be some forum related perk. Maybe a permanent "Voted user of the month December 2017" in your profile?

The no signatures part I don't really like as that doesn't seem fair to advertisers. They, in theory, pay for quality posts in serious discussions that are far more likely to be read.
Signature campaigns already exclude certain sections from payment, it's obvious they wouldn't pay for sections that don't display their signature.

I would say fixing a minimum char limits in some of the sections of forum will lower down huge no.of spammy posts that altcoin discussion bumpers or spammers make like:

Quote
Wow  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes ...Interesting project.
The spammer would just make a longer post that's equally useless and takes longer to read.

- make post quality trust (like normal trust).
I'd like a simple +/- to click on each post, but if this is anonymous, I'm afraid it will be abused from alt-accounts much more than the current trust system.

I think approval for signatures should be done case-by-case basis by a team of members dedicated to do so.I  know this doesn't sound feasible but if you had around 500+ members who could review accounts and somehow automate the process,we will only see quality posters with signatures.
This is something the signature campaign manager should do. Instead of reviewing every user, how about only reviewing the campaign managers before they can manage a campaign?
I doubt anybody can really manage more than 100 posters simultaneously, which means they shouldn't take on more than they can manage.

6) If you can't fight them - join them, create new child board  in "other" section - "spam here and build rank" that would decrease spam in all forum sections
Use this as a honey pot: after 6 months, ban everybody who posted there.

There will be a few two factor alternatives on the new gathering so I get why he hasn't tried coding them for this one, yet in the event that the new discussion is still 1+ years away I figure it would be advantageous executing asap. Requiring email check would be another progression in restricting or backing off record cultivating as it's simply one more band to bounce through.Should be Checked the interset rate of every members.

Anyone notice anything wrong with this post?
Yes. And I would have reported it, but given that you've seen it already, I didn't. Why didn't you delete it? He's banned already.
Here's another wall of random words from the same user. His post quality is exactly what this topic is about, and he doesn't even know it.

This one is the best possible solution, this condition will compel the users to improve their post quality to get promoted and obviously everyone want to rank up here so they will try to earn merit points by improving. And who don't want to win the BTC prize, this will motivate the users to get better everyday.

Is this possible that like merit points every user is rated (kind of feedback) by some highest rank members of the forum(i.e legendary) and only that user would able see his/her stats of rating which the other members have given to him/her. This will be like a feedback, if every user can receive the feedback of their posts quality monthly then then not all but many will try to improve.

Great. More corrupt animal farm pigs considering themselves more equal than others and sticking green merit feathers in each others behinds. Exactly what this corrupt forum needs. [/sarcasm]

Here we have another shitpost, precisely in a post about improving post quality. Do you think if this guy wasn’t wearing a signature, he would have posted here such a shit? I don’t think so.



After reading all comments on this post, one thing is clear to me: something about signatures has to be done. If removing signatures or sig ads globally has been ruled out, some other measures have to be taken, whether it be paying a fee, punishing lazy campaigns and their managers, and/or blacklisting their signatures, as hilariousetc suggested.

Although im still a jr member i also care for the good of the forum,I humbly suggest the following.

-ristrict the forum rules:

how about decreasing the rules from 1st offense to permanent ban for those who  posting a non quality post or copy pasting just to achieve the minimum amount of characters to be done.

-fees for rank ups:

i also suggest this for the farmers who abuses this forum just to earn,the higher the rank the higher the fees to be paid.and the fund that can be accumulated will be use for the next idea

-hire exterminator:

administrators,staffs or moderators are still human and need to rest though its not an easy task being in thier position so i suggest this one.hire exterminator to determine shitposter and non quality poster that only wants to add thier activities.kick or report to moderators .and as long the hired one is trustworthy and devoted to thier work also this cant be done with out idea 2.in this way not only the hired one can profit but also the higher ups who devoted from this org. and i salute for the hard work

hope i can help a little and not lead to mis understanding.

being from a third world country doesn't mean you are uneducated or some other things they have been called here

I don't think anyone said they are, but the sad reality of the situation is the forum has been overrun with mostly kids from third world countries who can barely speak English who are 99% only here to try to earn money.

So i will give now my ideas to fight shitposting and spamming here in the forum:
Why not taking advantage of Report to moderator?

Do you honestly expect users to report every single shitpost when the majority of the forum is shitposting? Most people have better things to do, but people shouldn't have to deal with or witness all the crap in the first place.

You can run a contest/campaign/-whatever you wanna call it- rewarding the most accurate people reporting spam/shitpost/-non legal- post.

People would just abuse it and bot this. It would be easy just to have hundreds of spambots running that made the spam posts and another that instantly reported them. Sadly, whatever system you try to put in place here people will just find a way to game it.

I've read some posts from this thread, i will not summarize or give my opinion about other's opinion though i think that:
  • having a fee to register here in the forum isn't fair
  • having a minimum character per post isn't helpful
  • post quality is a fuzzy thing here
  • being from a third world country doesn't mean you are uneducated or some other things they have been called here

So i will give now my ideas to fight shitposting and spamming here in the forum:
  • Why not taking advantage of Report to moderator? You can run a contest/campaign/-whatever you wanna call it- rewarding the most accurate people reporting spam/shitpost/-non legal- post. Rewards could be in crypto for the top ten. You could show below activity the Reporting points. You could also have the top worst poster that you could punish somehow.

btw. we have 5 pages of discussion now, please add some input please @theymos.

Chance would be as fine thing.

Thread below was created by theymos two years ago nearly and despite me bringing up the issue in the Staff forum every so often, still absolutely nothing has been done:

Boards that don't contribute to activity

I'm thinking of making Games & Rounds not count toward posts or activity. What other boards would be good candidates for this? Maybe Off-topic, though some decent discussions occur there, so I'm not sure about that.

Nothing will likely be done about this either, and in the op he's already essentially shot down some of the main solutions to this. The only one he hasn't is punishing incompetent signature campaign managers by banning their accounts/trashing their threads which a while back he said he wasn't really keen on doing so we may as well get used to the fact that ICOs are going to keep paying people to shit all over the forum and the majority of posts here being two lines of nothingness by South East Asian shitposters by the likes of this guy below:

Removing signatures idea is not a good thing for me. there are so many people here in the forum that are wearing signatures globally also only the signature is the only one way to program owner to introduce their sales.

it is better to just have a minimum 100 characters posting here. that will solve the problem for me.

It's not the only way. They can purchase forums ads, but how convenient, it's not a good idea for you. Of course it isn't when you don't want your cash cow culled. And making people post 100 characters doesn't do anything but make shitposters stretch out posts longer, just like it does with you. Instead of a shitposter posting just 'Pepsi' in a thread called Pepsi vs Coke, they'll just post: "I like Pepsi because it's better than Cola. I like the way it tastes. It's very refreshing and fizzy. Yummy. It's good. I like the taste. Is this 100 characters yet? I hope so". Get my point? You are also a classic two line shitposter who's posts are all exactly two sentences just because for some reason you think two sentences is enough effort to not constitute being spam:

It is not easy to managed my money because i just have enough money for my good and also for the things that i needed. i doesn't have many money that i can use for my personal things. budget it.

well for me now. the best way to invest is in the bitcoin cryptocurrency, it is so special , especially right now the bitcoin price today is like a cheap compare yesterday,. meaning it is the time to buy some btc's now.

I've just been through your ENTIRE post history here and you haven't once made a post longer than two sentences. And why's that? Because you can't be bothered writing anything else nor do you need to when ICO campaigns will continue to pay you for this rubbish, and you clearly have absolutely no interest in contributing anything of value or substance here other than putting in the minimal amount of effort to earn your money and trying to not get yourself banned in the process. You can't even be bothered to hit the shift key to capitalise the start of your sentences most of the time; you just churn out a response as fast as you possibly can making sure that it's always two sentences. Your first posts here are even worse; just a few word posts in all spammy off topic threads that you clearly made to try rank up. I'm guessing you probably have multiple accounts churning out these two liners as well. Good thing for you admins never bother looking into you sorts of shitposters.

I don't know if the needed code to implement on the forum in order to realize the below ideas is just doable or not , but i'd certainly like if such features existed in order to decrease the number of shitty/one line/bumping/spammy/farming posters .

First , i think that signatures shouldn't apply to all posts done in a single day, in other words if you make X posts per day -> only Y (Y(*) quota of "signature applied" that they'll have to meet EACH DAY to get their posts done and be able to receive their payments (the same required number of posts by all the campaigns for each rank will certainly help define this quota ).

Secondly, impose a gap between every "signature applied" post thus people will have to invest more time to make these posts ( and hopefully they'll learn something since there's knowledge to grab in all forum's corners for those devoted enough .. )  .

(*) -> It'll certainly help against spammers /shit posters since they won't be able to make huge chunks of their needed posts in a single day due to the quota restriction (usually the last day of the sig's round ) , it'll make it easier for sig mangers to spot them , and at the same time it won't prevent people from doing as much posts as they'll want to such as hilariousetc  said :

Well I make more than 20 posts a week and I shouldn't be limited by this.

In consequence :
-> People will be obliged to respect and make the best use out of their "signature applied" quota and needed time between each of those posts .
-> Harder job for alts possessors, and they'll maybe really learn something ! Who knows?
-> Easier post quality checking .

Other features could be applied such as : each topic can only contain ONE "signature applied" post from each user -> spam threads won't be a problem anymore .. ,and whatever other useful features that can make a better place out of this forum  Wink .

What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality?

I have mostly ruled out:

 - Removing signatures or sig ads globally.
 - Requiring payment to wear sig ads.
 - Banning account sales.

A couple of ideas that have been floating around in my head:

1. To attain ranks above Member, you'd have to earn some number of merit points. Merit points would be awarded in a monthly vote on best posts of the previous month, with various measures (TBD) to prevent gaming of the vote. Winning merit points might also come with a BTC prize.

2. Create or designate some sections as "serious discussion" sections, with no signatures. In those sections or maybe in different ones, also have poster restrictions such as Member rank or above only. And/or allow topic-creators to set these restrictions on their topics, similar to selfmod topics.

What do you think of these ideas, and what other ideas do people have?
Posting is important when you participate in bitcoin campaigns. Make sure the article quality determines success in your campaign. Things to keep in mind when posting:
Write the right topic
Write on time
Ideas or creativity.

If you believe a fee would discourage spammers you're wrong. It would only impact the economy as paid posting would become a little less profitable. Instead of 0.1BTC per month a spammer would be getting that - the fee, e.g. 0.08BTC. Still worth it! It would also discourage new users because not everyone is able to pay a fee from the start, while the long time spammers (who just have to be rich by now) would keep doing it anyway.  

I think you're wrong and are probably just basing it off the fact that you don't want to have to pay anything to be able to earn here. Do you think a spammer is going to pay $100 to have a signature on each of his 100 accounts? Of course not, but if you can create 100 accounts for free then it will continue to be abused en mass and by people with hundreds of accounts. Charge to have a signature and this abuse will stop almost instantly or be drastically curbed by about 99%. We really can't continue to just let people have dozens to hundreds of accounts because it gets worse day by day and there's not enough manpower or hours in the day to deal with it now, nevermind months down the line as the problem grows exponentially.

You're right about me not wanting to pay if $100 was on the line. My campaign is paying me about $300 a month. Giving $100 upfront to be able to potentially get $300 if I keep posting throughout the month, not get a ban, negative trust, and the campaign doesn't shut down, is not the most lucrative deal, although I'm sure some people would go for it.
Enough with me. I said what I said because there are campaigns that pay people over $1000 a month and I'm pretty sure your $100 rule isn't going to hurt those people.
Can you start to see the problem? Set the fee at $20 a month, you'll only discourage members from joining those low paid campaigns. Set it at $100, the campaigns will be forced to increase the rates because people won't be willing to join them.
If you make the fees low, you'll only reduce low ranked spam and increase the market price of high ranks. Make them too high and you'll make the campaigns hero/legendary exclusive and make those accounts worth more on the market.
Setting fees will make the market adapt like it always does. It will make it harder to earn anything if you're completely broke, starting your forum career, are a low ranked member, or a member of a low paying campaign. What about the spam that comes from the accounts that are being leveled up for sale? How high should the fee be to be just for everyone?  

No not when their 100$ accounts gets banned for shitposting lol

Just imagine you make 10 accounts for 1000$ and get banned after 2 days for shitposting  Cry

btw. we have 5 pages of discussion now, please add some input please @theymos.

i think it's a good thing if the forums have a notification when someone quoted our post, so we just clicked those notifications and it will redirect us to the quoted post. By this, we don't need to take a lot of time for scrolling and finding if someone quoted our posts or not.
Or I might be a dumb that this features actually has been around on this forums already?

this is what we wanted on this forum, a notication on our account when someone quoted our post, so there will be a decent conversation without wasting time scrolling/moving another page to find out if there's someone quoted/reply our post or not

I've told him numerous times workload needs to be distributed between staff and that we also need another admin for this as there's far too many people who have been waiting months to get their accounts back even with verifiable info posted. There's also dozens of other things that need looking into that never get sorted as well. If he doesn't trust anyone else to do it for whatever reason he should consider paying himself a reasonable wage and do administration duties himself full-time as it's badly needed and the forum's problems grow worse every day.

He should definitely hire extra people to take care of the account recovery demands. The queue of people wanting their account back is growing at exponential levels, two people can't take care of an huge community. By not delegating you end up creating a mess.

I don't see where the problem of trust is. The user that losses an account, signs a message from an address that belongs to the hacked or lost account in a post that's unedited or in a closed thread. This is all public for everyone to see, so there's no possibility of scam there, the person either controls the private key or doesn't. The person hired for the job would only need to verify the signature and then give access to the account to through the new requested email. The user recovers his account and stops cluttering the meta section, everyone is happy.

I would like to apply for that job myself. I run a safe node on a linux machine which I could use to verify all the signatures.

theymos, this is a perfect example of the beast you have created by linking signatures with activity. Remove signatures from activity and this nonsense stops immediately. How can we compete against bots doing this? Currently anyone can create an unlimited amount of accounts and when users are using bots like he is to just copy a post and change a few words for synonyms it's often very hard to notice. I've just banned this account but how many others does he have doing the same? It's utterly pointless banning accounts if he's got 200 others that I've missed that will still be botting away. Things need to change. Do me favour and look into this user and just tell me how many alt accounts you can find. There are dozens upon dozens of individuals farming thousands of accounts this way and it's only going to get worse over time. The worst thing about this is once they hit a sufficient rank they can get paid by lazy ICO campaigns for merely copy and pasting and they'll never notice the abuse.
if theymos could implement a script for determining something along the lines of 'merit points' asscoated with general post quality, i wouldn't be against the idea of signatures being linked to those points instead, it would provide an initial incentive for good post quality from the start an account is created, and provide a long term incentive for maintaining a good post quality. if theymos can also implement other factors in, suchas deleted posts for not following forum rules, it'll also push members towards following the general forum rules. maybe even diminishing returns on merit points (or whatever they're to be called) can be used for people with alt accounts, or accounts on the same ip.  just some rambling thoughts.

Or just simply make a subscription fee for all the users or just for participation in spesific forum sections like the bounty and signature once. So in order to participate in a bounty or signature campaign the user have to pay some fee to the forum and those money can be ivested in moderators. The high rank members can have lower fees, higher for newbies. It's just an idea. The forum is a grate place for me and I am willing to pay what it takes to make it even better.
fee or not, as long as the spammers can still net a profit from shitposting with their 100 accounts every day, they'll continue to do so. there wouldn't be any incentive here to make better posts, since they'd pay a fee anyways. they'd make a bit less, sure, but that's not what the goal is here.

How would this work though? Wouldn't that just be gamed? People could still just copy and paste 'quality' posts in order to get merit points, right? I think it would just cause more headaches than problems it solves to be honest.

i realize that for this idea to actually work well in practice, there would have to be a lot of other additions, such as better quality control of users (which could just translate into more staff), which i could see as the biggest issue with this. it's not a great idea, but it's not the worst either. if the issue of users copy pasting posts could be handled in the first place, this idea might seem a bit more viable, but there isnt a sure way of combating that without a script in the site's server checking every submitted post for that (and this would consume way too much resources for it to be practical).

It can easily be done with bots if all they do is copy a post from earlier on in a megathread. There are numerous individuals that have been caught with hundreds of accounts and many more that I suspect are doing it that have been reported but not looked into by an admin going on all year (some use bots and others just post of copy and paste manually). One Russian guy had a little over 200 accounts and all they did was rehash their previous posts reworded slightly post after post account after account. The entire Vietnamese sub board thread had to be locked because 99% of the accounts posting in there were just copy and pasting random text from online and of course to anyone not speaking Vietnamese nobody was any wiser....until I noticed it of course. The worst thing is Sylon (the worst campaign manager on these forums despite what his avatar claims) was paying them all to do it and continues to pay spambot accounts because he never checks anyone's post quality at all.
i dont like this idea much personally, but maybe maintaining a staff - approved sig campaign manager list could be an effective measure. this would require both additional work from the staff (and probably occasional, regular monitoring of these approved users) and the staff essentially having a small link to the campaigns, which i suspect is something theymos does not want at all, but it would eliminate most spammers from even  being allowed into campaigns. i realize this isnt a great idea, or one that might even be considered, but im just throwing ideas out there.

more so than post quality, i think one of the major issues that need to be addressed first is the copy pasting; if solved, it could weed out a lot of the shitposters, and possibly make the issue of low post quality easier to solve. we really do need more mods tho.

What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality?

-snip-

What do you think of these ideas, and what other ideas do people have?

What about adding voluntary managers to the huge threads with +500 replies, the volunteers  should be able to lock certain threads, move others to trashcan leaving link to existing one, scalate certain accounts to be taken  over a review from the Staff.
I'm sure there are  old and trustwhorty members willing to help in their free time, I have no idea if Staff members get paid or work as volunteers but in any way whatsoever, if you need them to be more active you could give or add some extra BTC as reward.
This may look as simple but isn't at all, at least til staff and volunteers get used to it, this addition : coding some bots to  checking for spams, making private messages to these volunteers to review accounts and decide if scalte or not.

EDIT  : About given ideas I don't like any at all, but I have  simpathy on the idea of charging ICO's but to add other features like  create certain rules to avoid spammers and abusers upon they'r signup, likely creating a new subform only for ICO's, anyway  is simply a suggestion based in my time around.
