All posts in general should contribute to activity. After all, the point is that they're being active. If they're being active, then their activity should be counted for the day. I do not genuinely believe it would be effective or helpful in spending money making coding for that. The way the site is now is fine. I think a lot of people would leave the site, or complain about it there posts no longer being counted as activity. It'd just be upsetting. If you were to do so, would you at least make a mass PM letter or some type of announcement when that task is complete? Again, not sure how good of an idea it is but I'd at least like to be informed on when it would indeed happen if it does. Thank you.
and here is another yobit spammer again.

I agree,its troll/not constructive/off topic and probably suppose to be deleted.On the other hand,how come the post of the guy which I had quoted is not yet deleted.The post is here :

Doesn't make any sense to me.@Mod who deleted ,I'd gratefully like to know how that post is not trash and deserves to be there.

I wouldn't worry to much about that. If PakistanHockeyfan keeps up the clueless serial posting style just report to mods and move on.

I did a screenshot of it already:

I'm sure we'll see him/her next week/month/whatever the sock drawer schedule is.

My exact report on your post was:

offtopic to the thread, should have been a report

By posting that someone is posting shit you yourself start posting offtopic shit that is derailing the thread. Use the moderation, post in one of the existing threads (e.g. for Yobit spammers) or send a direct PM to one of the admins and/or global mods you think will handle it.

I handled the report/deleted the post for reasons given by shorena. I handled a few reports/deleted a few of that users posts but the one in question doesn't seem bad to me. He's offering his opinion/concerns and it's on topic and relevant. I even thought about marking the report as bad but left it to see if any of the other mods would handle it but obviously not so maybe they agree.
