Title: New rules for newbies hasn't removed spam..
Post by: Nullu on January 25, 2014, 10:24:31 PM
It's shifted it.

The amount of shill accounts I've seen asking for donations today in Alternate cryptocurrencies for one altcoin alone has been amazing.

Necessary evil, or something that needs to be addressed? I don't know. I guess you'll never make it completely fair no matter what do you, but it is a little annoying seeing one person carrying 20 begging bowls instead of 1.

Is it something we could potentially report if we suspected someone of extreme shillery?

For all those giveaway (bitcoin / altcoins / gambling credits / whatever), the organizers should really set a minimum activity requirement (say, 29 activity / at least 4 weeks old account) .

It would not solve the problem, but it will reduce the problem significantly IMHO.

I agree that this could be the best solution. all these 20 accounts stuff are just at 3-5 activity usually and that solution could be effective.

The really funny thing is if you look into satoshicircle giveaway in games and rounds more than %50 of participants are at 5-6 posts and all are in other satoshicircle giveaways (except the first which is in the newbie subforum)
