I disagree here. I've always felt that there is a lack of moderation for a privately owned forum. There is just so much nonsense and people who're in signature campaigns often repeat the things that others said in the same thread. I don't remember the last time that a moderator removed my post. If there was too much moderation we'd all be feeling it.

Agreed. And sometimes, advising a topic starter to close the thread since he/she receive a sufficient response in regards to his/her questions often result in bashing from other users. Oftentimes, a thread is bombarded with redundant replies only with different words so as to hide the similarities between them. That's plainly annoying to read.

This is one of the issues that I have as well, however I find that there seems to be inconsistency when it comes to the moderation on these boards. As pointed out above, some topics are locked when the topic becomes irrelevant or the topic has been answered. But others languish on these boards even after the pleading of posters to lock the thread! I've seen multiple threads on the same topic without any moderator stepping in to remove duplicate topics. Consistency seems to be an issue with me. JMHO

That's not a issue if you understand the situation completely. You do understand that this is voluntary work and that moderators have a life? The main and only thing that you have to do is report the thread.
I don't remember a time where someone made a delete request or I saw a spam thread that didn't get removed after my report. It was probably reported by others as well. If I hadn't reported it I wouldn't notice otherwise. It also depends on the board that you're discussing a certain topic in.
It's pretty obvious that the altcoin section or off topic section will be neglected when there are a lot of reports on the other parts of the forum such as Bitcoin Discussion (just an example).

First off, I understand that the moderators on here most likely have real jobs and a life in some cases. That's not the issue. I was just stating how multiple posts would tell the moderator to lock the thread because the OP hadn't been active online in weeks when it came to his giveaway! And unfortunately this went on for a few more weeks until the thread got pushed to the back pages. Maybe you just came across better luck or had a moderator who was more proactive.

+1 posts would have been fine in my opinion if it weren't for sig campaigns. Getting paid for posting meaningless posts is the problem, so once you disallow them for people with sig campaigns you have to disallow them for everyone else.

Why? Mod sees potentially spammy post with a sig ->delete. No sig? Don't.
Where I live, prostitution (sex for money) is illegal, unmonetized sex is still ok tho.

People who have paid signature tend to spam more to get more money. So person who have paid signature gets ban faster if he/she spam than person without paid signature. All spammy posts will be deleted but likely/potential-spammy posts made by people without paid signature may not be deleted.

Nah, I had a post deleted that explained why I use the ignore button. I've dropped the speculation board because it has probably been compromised.

I dont see the problem here. Id rather ask why your other posts that are very similar are still up (see list below). Its certainly fine to thank someone for their help, but it shouldnt be all you do.

I removed what you quoted and only checked the first page of your posts. 5 out of 20 posts are pretty much "+1" posts.

haha, that's awesome, well done

She's a cryptsy employee, just keeping up appearances

Well, IMHO this is no social media platform, but a discussion board.

I know that in the mining section, any post that an employee makes in their employers' threads are automatically considered on-topic because if the employer wants to let their employees look like idiots then the forum is not going to stop them. I don't see why the same rule couldn't be applied to other major Bitcoin companies.
