Topic: Poor English, careless writing, ranks and signature campaigns. (Read 1215 times)

Thank you all for your replies.

I'm new here and I don't fully understand some of the points you are trying to make:

@olubams, so you mean that I should use the report button when a guy writes shit like the guy I quoted?

And then I think what rizzlarola is saying is that companies pay the site owner to run signature campaings and that at least some of them are a fraud. Maybe it is a promotion of an altcoin someone wants to pump and dump or maybe a "online mining" website or something similar running a ponzi scheme that will disappear when they get enough funds. Am I right?

I usually read other forums. In some of them I have an account and participate and in some of them I just read them. If I compare them to this forum it is cristal clear that what most people care about here is to write a lot so they can participate in signature campaings and make money.

I have read somewhere that in order to get high ranks you must use good English when writing but I think that is not the case at all.

I'm fed up with reading people I can barely understand. People who seem to be more worried about writing a certain number of comments rather than writing with clarity and quality.

I comment on this here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2110355.40

After the first comment, a guy who hasn't even read what I say (and who probably hasn't even read any comment) pours a shit instead of posting a comment: "Bitcoin have many advantage .But firstly you deside to which part you earn bitcoin.you can earn bitcoin from this forum. You need to follow some rules.Donot spam post  always try give anything to this forum.you have also knowledge about english because english is international  language.Finaly ragister an account this forum and try to posting or any comment .Never copy  to other .you can earn bitcoin from trading. I hope anyone can choise any part  earn bitcoin easily and reduce unemployment people.thanks"

His status is full member.

The two comments after that contain basic mistakes as well.

Do you really think good English matters at all? I've only been here like a week but I think it doesn't matter at all.

Although my English is quite good I'm not a native speaker so I was worried about my English but after seeing what I see every day I'm not worried any more.

I joined here recently to learn more about BTC and altcoins, and get the pulse of the scene. Unfortunately it's full of shills, crapflooders, and people who can't put together a coherent three-word sentence.

Mods aren't doing much either: I've reported a dozen posts with 100% accuracy, and think perhaps two have resulted in visible action (shut down threads). I just wrote a separate thread about a persistent abusive poster who keeps shilling on multiple altcoin threads - have reported him several times with 100% accuracy (whatever that means), no action taken.

Frankly I think leaving is the only option, unless you have the time and determination to wade through a metric ton of BS.

I can't understand why scams are tolerated and why shitposters aren't banned.

All time low or all time high? The noise just increases with the price of Bitcoin.

SMAS plays a small role, but the forum itself has to act against signature campaigns / campaign managers who ignore spam.

Rizzlarolla, I rent out my signature space.  That is much different than shilling for shitcoins.  If I was doing the latter you would hear me talking about how new & innovative Xcoin is, but you don't, do you? 

The fact is, we're on the same side, buddy.  We both dislike shitposters and scams.  We should not be against each other because I'm in a sig campaign. 

Well Yahoo62278 is in smas, but he may have to accept crappy posters at the behest of the people he works for.  I'm not blaming him and I have yet to see evidence of him supporting account farming.   But man there are a lot of shitposters in the Social campaign.  And they keep applying even though the campaign is marked CFNP.

I'm fed up with reading people I can barely understand. People who seem to be more worried about writing a certain number of comments rather than writing with clarity and quality.

You probably heard it from your friend or read it somewhere but you didn't read how messed up the forum is. I try to understand those people who can't convey their thought clearly in English but saying that you can't make any sense from it then that would be an actual problem. And @HeroC, you are right and some of the high ranking members surprised me by asking some newbie questions.

Don't know how he got accepted into that signature campaign in the first place--I thought yahoo was part of SMAS.

The noise to signal ratio in this forum is at an all-time low since 2014 due to the influx of non-native English speakers joining signature campaigns. Also, campaign managers are not ignoring the problem. Actually, there is what we call the SMAS (Signature Managers Against Spam) that has a list of blacklisted profiles to join signature campaigns to avoid paid spam posts.

Most of the times I can make some sense of it, but I've been here like a week and I've seen other forum members complaining because they don't understand what someone says.

Thanks to The Pharmacist, I've recently remembered that writing quality posts and in good English are supposed to be useful to get accepted into signature campaigns (and not to get higher ranks). But campaign managers don't seem to be very strict regarding this matter.
