One troll bumps the thread, then people congrats him without checking when the topic has been created because they are not concentrated enough.

Don't blame ALL that posted in the topic in the last few days.

I agree, it's because one trolled bumped the thread. But I tend to glance at the OP before responding to it in the thread.

Don't you?

Is bumping an old dead thread breaking the rule?
Should we report such kind of post when we find one?

Bumping old thread is not breaking a rule itself, though in most cases it may be. FWIW I've seen some pretty golden necrobumbs (especially speculation threads from 2011/2012 are good.)

Maybe those +1/happybirthday -nonsenseposts are indeed due to the advertisement signatures and/or to make the account eligible to join them.

I have a paid sig too but I only end up posting in 1/4 of the thread I enter into. 1/2 the time I can't understand the jibberish going on, another 1/4 the discussion has ended more or less or I have nothing to say.

The problem is not just with this board - many boards have people who just look at the posts on the last page. Over on Slickdeals people will literally ask questions on how to do a do even though the OP may spell it out in a step by step process.

The same people can't be bothered to read the first post - they just have to chime in (having a paid sig encourages that unfortunately). You just can't fix stupid behavior. The only culling for that is the posting timer - limits the amount of text diarrhea.

Paid signatures. The more bullshit they post, the more btc they'll get.

Have you even read the thread? Less than half the people (even less) had paid signatures in that thread.
Maybe it is people also trying to add posts on new accounts (i.e. puppets). What you can do about the people with signatures? Report them to their respective payor.

Yeah OP I understand you, mods should have locked that (and similar) thread somewhere along the way.

Seriously, why the fuck are people still posting without adding any input to the thread.

His birthday was over 2 months ago and people are still wishing him fucking happy b-day: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/its-my-birthday-d-663338
It's one thing if it's 1-2 days after his bday, but fucking 2+ months? Seriously, jesus fucking christ.

I swear, these people add absolutely nothing to the conversation.
