Don't forget that the different membership tiers also encourage spam! People trying to get their postcount up to be able to put better signatures / make more BTC off the signature campaigns

If anything, the different membership tiers discourage spam. Higher ranked members make more from signature campaigns. You wouldn't want a hero account (for which you have put in a lot off effort) to get banned. You wouldn't care if a newbie account gets banned.

One post a day is hardly spam in itself. Rank do not increase based on the post count, but on activity. Since activity is capped at 14 every 14 days I dont see your point here.

But that is what the forum moderator does, he deletes posts that are irrelevant and considered as spam. I do not see low quality posts in the ones I've been reading thus far.

I don't think you understand the situation on the forum well. You should avoid posting in such threads and focus on reading. The fight against signature campaign spammers is going on for a few years.

My suggestion was to have a captcha for posting to lessen the bots and without removing the post duration restriction.

This effectively does nothing. It is quite rare for a bot to go unnoticed for a longer period of time.

Quote from: Jet Cash on February 15, 2016, 10:10:29 AM

The problem is deciding whether to reward for posting, or post for rewards.

You should be rewarded for posting. Once you start posting for the rewards the likelihood of a ban increases significantly.

i like that idea and i think that it could work
but what if there was a captcha that you had to answer after every x amount of posts
that could eliminate the automated bots at least

This could be very annoying. I don't like this idea.
Yes this could be end for most of bots, but i will "survive" if something like this become mandatory.

The bots only post 1-3 posts until they are nuked, they have to solve a captcha to register a new account. I dont think its a solution.

Trust feature is enough and high ranking members will farm that thanks system as if right now, they were farming their trust by using it to send unnecessary and nonsense feedbacks to the members if the post they saw was not fitted to them. I hate that kind of members.

Almost all of the signature campaign right now do not accept members with negative trust.

That is absolute nonsense and ironic coming from a Yobit campaigner.

Many of us are trying to give more than 50 characters in posts..
And English is not my native, and much time i have grammar in my hands..
(As member i can accumulate about 1$ per 20 posts, i wont tell you how much time is needed for this. Is this worth of it?)
But i enjoy talking to others so i can learn more and also contribute to topic.
That's my motives.
Thanks.

Much spam comes from 20 posts per day.. or more.. Just quit this practice paying per day and per post.
Best is paying per week or per month.
Number of posts must not be over 5 paid posts per day.

All is on managers and Admins..

That is absolute nonsense and ironic coming from a Yobit campaigner. You can certainly make 20 constructive posts and more per day if--and this is a big if--you take your time and think about what you're writing. But a lot of posters obviously don't. But that doesn't mean it can't be done, it just means some folks are lazy and like to do the absolute minimum ( or less).

So Quoraing instead of Signaturing ?

Just see any thread/post in Quora and tell me if thats not the type of posts you want to see.

Yes this is why they have managers for campaign

I said that because reputation and spam are two separate things.

@Mexxer
You could be great supervisor for those signatures campaigns?
You could be paid from managers, as "quality checker" for what you are doing now, i suppose?

I did offer my services as a campaign manager, no site would be interested in quality campaigns however(except ones run by zengry and Carra) as most favor quantity for sticking their ads up your face. Nothing will change unless administration(forum) decides to make it strict. Personally Quora's rules seem awesome

Well I tried it with reporting users, from the way it was received I'd say I did something of significance.

This is what i'm talking about you won't accomplish anything with this.
But managers can and must.

Quote from: mexxer-2 on February 15, 2016, 10:09:33 AM

Well they did hire hilarious for signature campaign managing, so... any new spammers are on him I guess

Yes this is their responsibility in majority cases!

Quote from: Heutenamos on February 15, 2016, 11:54:27 AM

Do you think that betcoinTM,Polo,Trex owner's are going to visit the forum to police the posts ?

Yes this is why they have managers for campaign and they must take justice in their hands, instead they do nothing at the moment..They are paid i think. If they don't have managers they must hire some.

Conclusion?

That's fair, but it gives their site a poor reputation.

Since when the signatures are being run for reputation.Every withdrawal or typical problems reported by users on yobit has been sorted out pretty quickly.I would say the guy is active and the exchange is not a scam to this time.

Quote from: ColderThanIce on February 15, 2016, 10:24:10 AM

I'm definitely not interested in visiting or using the site being advertised. I suspect there are other people who would feel the same way about this.

I don't think that is a wise decision cause there is more than 60,000 btc trade volume on Polo and pretty huge on Trex too, but i don't see their signatures at all ? Do you think that betcoinTM,Polo,Trex owner's are going to visit the forum to police the posts ?

The company's advertising manger could be a lazy guy or something similar but there is no point to judge their brand based on that.Sometimes the owner might not even know what the manger is doing or where he is promoting.

Quote from: ColderThanIce on February 15, 2016, 10:24:10 AM

Do you appreciate reading through threads when a good portion of the posts are spam or make no sense?

No I don't ,but it is not my job to read those posts cause i have a right to ignore them or even the whole board.Why should i involve myself into that ? I might report if someone is abusing terribly or wrong sectioning, other than that PAID staff is there.
