Post

That means:

) posts.
When I click
Show unread posts since last visit., I can now see
some actual real threads again! There is still ANN and BOUNTY pollution, but in between are real topics (I have no boards on ignore on this account).
Update: theymos
posted data on the number of posts per day in the past 30 days.
I see on this forum merit very important? No, it's very important to people who do bounty, bitcointalk worth trying to limit spam? but i see everyone doing bounty not just jr member, not too many jr members, the problem is the bounty of the ICO, all the ICO ask for the post number / 1 week => everyone want to do bounty they have to cmt => lots of post / 1 day and can not avoid spam, who dare sure everyone from rank member up not spam? When bitcointalk requests merit for jr member it makes a lot of people unable to do bounty and reduces the number of commet, which is very easy to understand, if bitcointalk can give up bounty with signature ("I know it is funny when I say this, but there is a vicious circle: making bounty => comment => many comments become spam to complete the bounty task) without the bounty on the forum signature will become true with the forum of crypto,Spammers will disappear, only those who want to exchange knowledge, skills, experience .... will stay, you can count how many post / 1 day, that is the actual number you ưant, with me: bounty = spammer,
),why do you think from jr member up will not shitpost?only newbie has shitpost?? when all people come this forum with the attitude building, swap knowledge, learn exprience,there are no spam post,if wr still be used rank to do bount,we will be get shit post,nothing is absolute so I think spam post decrease to 0 is impossible,we only can restrict post spam
