Do you don´t know yet Pos Coin?
This is a great project when you can invest and take good profit doing stake.

etc ...

also, many of them use the hashtag "# I LOVE POS COIN" and I think that is organised thread bump.

When an ANN thread begins to lose its attraction, the OP will create several accounts and start their drama (have a conversation with each other) to discuss the benefits of their project. Or with other intentions, make several posts regularly so that their threads bump.

It can all be known by looking at the history of their posts as newbies, there are no other posts besides their own ANN thread. And one of those accounts will act as an expert, or have understood the project thoroughly or almost.

I suggested earlier that every Newbie post must wait for approval from a trusted member. For example, a trusted member can be everyone who has more than 1000 reports.

This is a really good idea that would reduce the amount of shitposting. You can even reduce the number of reports to 500 for a trusted participant. After all, if a person sends reports to a moderator, he will never allow stupid posts to be published.

Considering the sheer number of posts made by newbies this would lead to a lot of backlog as it would be difficult to cope with the number of posts made, and we would just have posts pending for days and weeks.
It might be better to limit it to thread starters, which would need approval before being made public.

Knowledge is needed, knowledge and reading, everyone needs to understand the contents of the posts, both topics and answers, to avoid spammers. This is what needs to be learned. Mod worked very professionally in managing this problem.
example: the most frequently done in forums is a discussion about like Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, but there is no connection with the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency fields. then there was a massive Spam in this forum because of lack of assessing and reading what had been discussed or not.
Meaning: The term Spam finally developed in the forum, then the activity of spammers was also widely known by the public. So in the future this will hopefully be overcome by mods and forums that are more meaningful about discussion.

I am not sure that I can understand what is the point of threads like this, and flock Newbie account who's posting this shit and bump. No one serious will swallow this story and spend money to invest there. after I set this topic they posted three more pages there.

It's sad that it doesn't seem to be enough.

It's due to the excess work load the mods do get on their hands, it's normal for one or two reports to slip right under their hands
Hence the need for a new thread to draw attention and attract punishment.

I would have said we need more mods,but theymos apparently isn't having any of that Grin

I forgot more than you will ever know.

I will report as well. However reporting SHOULD be enough.

Crypto Swap Exchange

Another one thread with tons of spam post from Newbie. As usual "good project", "great project", "nice..." etc...

Here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/topay-tox-revolutionizing-the-way-of-financial-transactions-5080888

There are too many posts to manually delete each one, I think there is 100% of post spam.
Also, I think they have Airdrop there because most of them post ETH address and posts like this:

It is a breaking rule about the giveaway in Alternate cryptocurrencies/Announcements section

Quote from: theymos on January 27, 2014, 01:11:50 AM

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

I reported another critical thread, but seems moderators not find this post:

There is another ANN thread which can be wiped or locked. Here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-pos-coin-800-the-one-and-only-proof-of-stake-coin-with-wicked-daily-5062584
12 pages, 95% of all posts are coming from Newbie, pure spam.
