Bitcoin Forum

Why does everyone not just create a news thread about their own fav coin and spam it sometimes 3 or 4 times per hour on the main board. I mean soon the main board becomes the ANN board more or less.

If this is against the rules how has it not been closed or banned since I have seen several people report it before?

I mean if it is not against the rules to do this clearly to spam your own fav project then I am shocked more are not doing it.

Well is very simple you can just look down at the right hand side you would find a report to moderator button and make use of it when ever you fill the post is going against the rule.
The forum can't  possibly stop people from posting what they like in any thread that is why they move or delete it when ever the post is found inappropriate for the board or section. I don't think it's much of an issue

It will never end, matter of signature campaign. You will not find much reply if you made good or quality thread on there. Since its Altcoins Discussion board then anyone can post about any altcoins. But no one is allow to promote any coin like with project link or referral link. In that case your report will marked good. But if you report just for posting about any coins then I don't think it will mark good. Thats true almost similar post are there about same coin. But we can't do anything about it, its not against of rules.  

So Its better to remove Altcoin Discussion board ;). Not agree with you, you can't prevent post about altcoins if board is alive.

Well that has been going on for years

1. it has not been missed by mods
2. it has been reported before by many people even here on meta.

It is either against the rules or is within the rules. To me it would seem there would be a rule in place to prevent everyone doing this about their fav coin but maybe not.

I don't think it has broken board rules. If you still think it has broken rules then report the thread and admin or moderator will take appropriate action if required.

I was sure replying to your own post over and over and over and over was against the board rules. Are you saying you believe it is okay to do so?

I am really awaiting a DT trust or mod or at least a regular poster of meta (experience here with such thing as rules etc) to reply so I can know not only yes or no but perhaps some reason why it would be allowed or not allowed.

Multiple bumps within 24h should be reported to moderators. You don't have to create a new thread for each shitty thread you find - that kinda defeats the purpose of cleaning up the forum.

The OP on that thread appears to have broken multiple forum rules;

It's quite surprising that the thread has been on for years without getting spotted. Or that it has not been reported attempt some time already to the mods. That is probably why the OP on the thread thought to start a thread in it, to get the needed attention.

That is precisely why I am posting it here.

I know it has been reported before many times. I am just wondering why it is still doing it for years and still posting 3 times in one hour today and has been doing so for a VERY long time without seemingly any problem from mods at all.

The above link to the thread is not alone against the forum rules as well indicated but it so inappropriate to self bump your own thread especially when it's of sellfish gains.
It's surprising how the thread has not yet been thrashed out.
Am guessing it would be noticed and the appropriate measures would be taking.

So you didn't report. Please do so. I reported the last few posts and they got deleted so reporting is the right way to deal with it.

Yeah, that's not allowed. I've given the thread's OP a short time out ban and started cleaning up the thread (will probably finish up today or tomorrow).

Thanks for your help. See we make quite a team.

@mprep - thanks for help too.
