Title: Altcoin Section filled with bunch of spams
Post by: jacee on October 26, 2016, 03:25:56 AM
I am browsing today to find a new good coin to trade and noticed that every single newly created ANN threads are flooded with begging translation bounty hunters. Most coins are not even giving bounties. Shouldn't there be some kind of rule to limit the threads that are being translated. I see even Scam coins ann are being translated thus people in local see them and aren't those translating just helping to promote scams? They should filter the threads that they are translating to threads of coins that actually has potentials. The local is already flooded by their poorly translation attempts.

C'mon dude, they're all scams.  You know it, I know it.  Barack Obama,  the bum on the corner, and everyone in between knows it.  The only good way to fix the altcoin section is to nuke it.  And hopefully when that's done the gambling and lending sections will be sitting well within the blast zone.  No offense to Japan intended.

If you ask me I honestly do not feel there is a need for any language translation.I doubt if it helps to get any additional attention.
I am an Indian and am well versed in Hindi but I never go to these translation threads to read about those coins for all Hindi translations are done by unprofessional bounty hunters using some online tool.
Take any Hindi translation thread they all are incomprehensible

I stopped reading/posting in the altcoin section long time ago for this reason. It's not worth my time to read about every scam coin that gets created daily.

IMO, Begging for translation bounty on the ANN thread should be considered as spam, Why don't you try reporting some of those?

1.Happy realization.

2.The statement "begging translation bounty hunters" can be joined with "account farmers".

3.How limiting the threads being translated changes anything?

4.Not "some scam coins",some good coins,rest everything is a scam (not quite literally,but you get the point)

5.Use Report to Moderator button more often.

Why not just click the "report to moderator" button.

Less crying, more doing.
There's a decent lack of reporting, if we had more active reporter (and, to be fair, if we had a more strict moderation policy),
things might not be as bad as they currently are.

You mean deleting the obvious scammer threads ? Have tried reporting a few scams (digital goods,fake account sales etc) but the policy doesn't prohibit deletion of them.So yes,strict moderation policy is much needed.In OP's case,he is rather talking about shit posts which I think is taken care of after successful reports.

Even Meta is spam to death with nonsense threads created by signature shit posters. Why not just click the "report to moderator" button. Who knows those accounts are one of your alts.

Will do. I used to report such spammy posts before but It got my accuracy down so I had stopped reporting them and just reported some of those obvious offtopic threads. Now that I have received feedbacks. Expect that I'll start reportig again from now on.
I can also report post containing the same sentences or rephrased post or not?
