Another thing to mention is off topic posts , aren't off topic posts meant to be removed ? As you see here on the auction that theymos made :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16766695 It has nothing to do with bidding so I'm not sure why It still there.
It's not fully off-topic as that might help theymos to determine whether or not to accept the bid from that user for the adspace, so it's kinda relevant to OP.
However, that information could also be given in PM (that was for example done when Betcoin.AG was bidding for a forum ad space and got rejected).
Don't get me wrong , I'm not saying that moderators aren't doing their job or anything , I just want to get the rules right so my reporting gets better and helps the mods but from what I see those post should be removed..
Sometimes, reports don't get handled in a long time.
I don't know if that's either to them being missed by accident, the mods just not being active or other reasons.
I've got a thread for two weeks now (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/betcoinag-bumping-their-thread-24h-double-posting-violating-the-rules-1657438), with clear evidence of forum rule violations,
being linked in every report I make (that's usually at least one daily). Yet, no answers/nothing happens.
