And then ban the activity points. It is also making some people post useless things.


Everyone Hero and Legendary,.. would be nice

Sorry if I seem arrogant, I didn't want.

I don't want all the signature campaigns to be banned, maybe it is better try to regulate them. Yes I support the freedom of advertising whatever someone wants in the signature space (the problem here is that someone is paying me & you for post here in the forum, and this *generate* a lot of insubstantial posts and more spam by a lot of other users).

So if I quote you this post :


What do you think ?

By your posters I meant other members of the same campaign. In other words you guys, the Bit-x promoters. I also think that people should be allowed to make as many posts as you want as long as they are on topic and longer than just a few words.
Why would you want the campaigns to be banned? Don't you support capitalism and the rules of supply and demand? They allow Bitcoin businesses to advertise, people to get coins and bring more new users to both this forum and BTC. A win - win situation if you ask me.

I can tell you that ATM he's sitting at 39 posts (made today). Shouldn't be hard to find.  

It is not *my posters*, I am only  "selling my signature space" to bit-x as you are selling yours to coinroyale. If someone is not "free" to make whatever constructive posts he wants then this is not a really forum (take it only as my personal opinion). I am still thinking the staff should ban or try to regulate all the various signature campaigns, that is the unique solution for stop the insubstantial posts for ever. 


PS: can you post the username of that user?

I've seen people wearing Bit-x signature that were making more than 30 posts in one day. For instance one of your posters made 39 posts today and the day hasn't ended yet.
If the quantity was what made crazyearner banned there's more coming.

Do you have an Alt account that was banned? I'm not seeing a ban request for you. (SMF is bad so Moderators can't give temporary bans, so we have to request that an admin temp bans in a thread)

Indeed. Even by just quickly glancing his past 2 pages, he seemed to be posting very good posts compared to the average member. I don't understand situations like these at all!
Neither is the number of posts high, nor are they lacking in quality. I've seen lower ranking members, with posts that are exponentially worse.
What's the deal here?

I think they simply need to better design their campaign to avoid incentives to spam posts everywhere. I think a simple and transparent way may be putting a max BTC limit to paid posts, like bitmixer and Bitcoin Scratchticket sig ad campaigns do. Also forfeiting sig ad payments due to enrolled users being banned could also help curb spam while keeping alive & legit sig ad campaigns. Concerned sig ad campaign managers could also donate campaign money forfeited from banned enrolled users to initiatives like Help the forum and earn Bitcoins! >>>>Increased the reward to 0.1<<<< to help keep the forum clean.

Already read and commented on it maybe Bear angry at me for commenting of having such features or some alike on my own forums. Only way I will know is if I get a response from who banned me or a representative to answer for them on why my ban is put into place. And it seems so and looking more into it no doubt it will happen in the new forums however lot of people post daily even without signature campaign maybe should get banned too who knows but I await my response.

Yes of course it will happen more and more times in the next few months and it is normal because more sig. campaign = more posts. Maybe in the next forum software it will be implemented this thing https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/signature-changes-985516 and the various manager will choose only the "valid users".

I suppose an explanation was already provided to you, since you stated in your OP: Sorry crazyearner, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum. Insubstantial posts+sig ad (14 days). Also, I don't think it would be useful to know who banned you (if you are asking also this information) due to risks of abuse against mods.


I can see your alt account is already at Legendary status and you post a lot. I'm sure too mod also took this behaviour in account when dealing with ban.


I don't think knowning the name of the mod who handled your case could help you other than to harass him/her (i'm not saying you would do). The reason of the ban was already told to you: Insubstantial posts+sig ad. However, I looked at the post history of crazyearner and, I found a possible reason in March 19th posts since they were all (24) made in short intervals while wearing the bit-x campaign's signature.


I think signature campaign manager's opinion is binding only to their own campaign while referring to payments due. As forum rules states: When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules. Also, IF the campaign manager who told you your posts were OKs is Bit-X's one, I think his opinion couldn't convince mods due to him having been banned recently apparently due to spam.


Mods recently started handing out harsher bans due to increased amount of spam. You could surely have noticed the spike of ban complaints in Meta since then. While it's a pity to receive a ban such unfortunate event could be useful to you (as well to others users who get bans) to further improve their posting habits and standards & avoid future mistakes.


I checked it before posting here & my opionion is above. All I can say is to take a pause between posts to allow further reflection and longer intervals between each post. Also, I would use a PM, instead posting in a thread, just to ask for an update like in this case.
This is my opinion however, but You could try to politely ask after a few days in the ban to have your terms cut short. I'm not sure mods will agree with since hilariousandco once said he never saw a temp ban reduced or revoked.

Thanks for coming online. Hope to get this matter cleared up and addressed with the mods or admins as this is way out of order for doing nothing wrong. I might post a lot of the time when I have the time to post but if am going to be banned for 14 days for posting too much then this is un called for. Anyway hope this can be looked into and sorted.

Thanks

I'm online now.

Hay was just about to ask to speak to you. I make on average when busy posting about maybe 20 to 30 posts every other day  maybe 100 a week if that or 200 a month or so. With the amount of time I have been off over the last few weeks being on holiday from main job  I have been a lot more active on here and maybe make 20 to 30 or more posts per day or every other day too.

If you do get a moment please come on to irc BIT-X on freenode would like to speak with you thx. I also have a few ideas want to run by you and also a business proposal too if  would like to hear

I think the sig. campaign will be banned in the next few months. If someone *make* 20-30 posts per day he will risk to be banned, is that "serious" ? (will this post be considered insubstantial post + sig ad?)

You can try sending BadBear a message stating your reasons to lift the ban. I could just advise you to check your posts again and see if your reply to the threads you're posting in are really required or not. That will help to know what exactly went wrong that led to a ban. This can happen with anyone and sometimes a member may post as if he is posting for himself and not a signature campaign and then get banned. I read your posts and if you weren't a part of the campaign, there would be no chance for a ban.

It does not matter how long you have been a member here but your comments should add value to the discussion and not appear as if your posting for the campaign and making posts for the sake of posting. The MODs have become stricter these days and that's a reason they pay attention to most members of the campaigns.

admins should take a review on their decision on banning your account then :/

Seems unjustified to me too from your posting history.

I have no intention of doing that I posted on some of them in here saying not to do stupid things and not to brake rules. I had commented on an number of posts in here that a person was asking for account to be deleted and posted about how this can be done or maybe request to admins to block it and remove with no sign up on it.

I had made some comments about someone saying to me to to never use sig campaigns and responded pay me a 100BTC and I will stop using them as a joke to the user who commented above my post. I spend a lot of time on here when I have the time to come on and post about lots of subjects I like to take part in. I follow rules and make sure am doing nothing wrong. I even help and report posts that  are off topic and  been here for over 3 years or so or close to without 1 ban or warning is kind of unjustified.
