I thought your issue here was that Spondoolies-Tech have a pile of great reviews which are active threads, but you have debunked that myth by stating that you are just annoyed that a company who produce a product are using valuable marketing methods to have their product recognised.

you clearly know nothing about marketing and your readiness to state the obvious is indeed astounding, if not a tad immaturely astounding.
dogie has several review threads, and IMHO - they should all be within manufacturer child boards. I'm not butt-hurt about the fact that dogie seems to get a free unit from every manufacturer and i'm not complaining about his review threads.

you sound like an angry child.


I did point this out in the thread before it started, that all should be posted in one place. There is already the ST thread, an unofficial SP20 thread and my SP20 thread. That's fine, its 2 1/2 for one product. But adding another 10.... no other product or company would be allowed to do that. And unfortunately ck has been put in a compromised position by receiving one (outside the competition). If he moves or consolidates them then he will seem ungrateful, if he doesn't he will seem biased.

Lets take for example the Antminer S3. There have likely been 6 figures of S3s sold into the world, yet they only have 2 1/2 threads [S3 tech, mine and for a bit Sushi's]. If Bitmain threw out 10 to the community to make 10 threads, they'd be immediately locked / moved / banned because its spam / pay to spam. Unless of course the SP20 is being used to set an admin precedence.... and which point now every other company is free to spam review threads. 10 'review' threads for each of Bitmain's products, that's no different right?

Ps this thread should head over to meta once its got a bit more of a soak here.

I, in turn, made a proposal in Meta that each manufacturer should have their own child boards.. so - if the SP-Tech reviews are getting such attention to be always at the top of the boards they are in, it's not Spondoolies fault, is it? it's clearly a fault of the forum structure.

note: i made this proposal before any of those reviews went up. I think Dogie is just a little too precious about his own review threads (which should be within manufacturer child boards in the first place)




It is Spondoolies fault it was in my view their primary goal when hosting the giveaway/competition. By giving away a unit to 10 different people that are seen as valued and knowledgable in this community they have got them advertising the miners and with 10 reviews they knew that when they asked everyone reviewer to post in the main sub forum of the biggest resource for bitcoin mining and information that they would clog up the front page. With the front page clogged any new person who comes and looks at miners will instantly see the Sp20 being praised by high rank people on the forum that are part of an "elite" group (hence the requirement for Legendary users only) and this will increase sales for the Sp20. Spondoolies giving away 10 miners to secure the backing of 10 high ranked members and more then likely securing 100's of Sp20 and future model sales is a smart tactic.

So don't be mistaken this is what spondoolies want as it is an ideal form of advertising for them and i think they have pulled it off well.


"clogged up"
 Cheesy

none of this forum is clogged up. Please point me to a forum board which takes too long to load, or fails in any way.

So to continue this debate now we're in meta.... does anyone have an objection to Bitmain having 50 review threads (10 for each active product)? That's the same as ST did.

[/sarcasm]. I hope the answer is everyone, which highlights the need for a revised revision policy to prevent multi-spam of this nature.
I would love to see 10 different reviews of future BMT products.
We gave the products with no string attached, except doing fair review.
So Hardware was flooded for 3-4 days. It's not such a big deal.
It's much easier to track the conversation and review progress per thread, not in one big thread.

I believe that a better solution will be to create manufacturer sub folders under Hardware.

There is only one way to fight this sort of spam... Other manufacturers need to also give away free mining equipment to Legendary members for reviews. That's the only way it will be fair.  Tongue
What a nasty suggestion  Grin

Moved this into Meta, but I wont touch the issue any further since I'm involved and bias could be unfair.


To be fair, I'm planning to upgrade to a SP31/35 (as per the thread wtt request) so not being a total jerk/ingrate in selling/trading it.

So if they will want to make pre orders for SPXX, DON'T DO IT...
Your comment can be understood in several way:
- Don't do pre-orders?
- Don't buy pre-orders?
- Don't do reveiew party on future products (which can't be pre-orders)?
- All of the above?
- Some of the above?

Eh, he's not the only one thinking it. They handed out what, 10 of them? So we're about to have 10 different review threads flopping around for the same product. A consolidated thread with all ten reviews would be nice and organized, but not allow Q&A. But ten independent threads is gonna mean a lot of overlap and wasted space. Advertisement by saturation.
They essentially bought the first page of the hardware forum  Grin

If it's coming from SPT, it couldn't be spam, which is clearly non-Kosher
