Title: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: suchmoon on September 26, 2019, 05:17:39 PM This data is based on URLs found in user signatures. Multiple users wearing a link to a specific site are likely getting paid for it (e.g. via a signature campaign) but I have not verified this against any spreadsheets or other "official" campaign information. For the purposes of this post a "campaign" is a "group of users having a link to the same site in their signatures". It's possible that e.g. some users wearing ref links to a certain site will end up included in this list while not being part of an organized signature campaign.
Thread Archives (http://archive.is/rOJDJ) Top 100 signatures by number of users. This covers a period of 1 year between November 1, 2018 - October 31, 2019.---- Users ---- ------ Posts ------ ----- Deleted ----

Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: LoyceV on September 26, 2019, 05:34:52 PM It's no surprise which campaign has the lowest percentage of deleted posts ;)
I don't even recognize most of the campaigns with a high percentage of deleted posts. I guess because most of the spam happened on the Altcoin boards. How active is for instance deeponion's signature? Could it be abandoned, but many inactive accounts still wear the signature and a few of them made some posts in the last year? I haven't seen much of it anymore, while it was the worst spam-campaign at some point during it's peak.

I haven't seen much of it anymore, while it was the worst spam-campaign at some point during it's peak. I think I still have some issues with stragglers. Stand by, the number of users in some of those campaigns will likely go down and the list will be reordered.

There is only 1 actually posting user and a bunch of inactive ones wearing the signature for whatever reason. I'll fix this. I think there are a lot of stragglers or some formula you are using is borked.

Might even catch some applicants who didn't get accepted. I'm not too worried about that, it's the big discrepancies that I'll try to eliminate. Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: bob123 on September 26, 2019, 05:53:18 PM bill gator was never permabanned and I count only permabans. I am pretty sure he was. Because of plagiarism. Later it turned out that it was not he who did the plagiarisms but the person he bought the account from. Edit: Alright.. he got banned for plagiarism, but it was just a temp ban instead of a perm ban. ??? Sorry for the inconvenience. Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: DdmrDdmr on September 26, 2019, 05:56:09 PM I tried to make analyse signatures way back, but found that it was rather much a cul-de-sac to interpret (or at least it was for me).
The exercise is very interesting, although I do find the PPD rather low in general. For example Chipmixer has a PPD of 2.4, but going over the last two weeks of the spread sheet it is more in the 4.4 to 4.6 area (some random lower week tolled 3.87). It may be related to dividing by the 110 distinct participants over a 365 day period. If we do it by a rough 60 concurrent participants, we get a 4.4 PPD, which is in line with the spreadsheet. Ofcourse we know the number of cuncurrent users in Chipmixer, but not off-hand for all the other campaigns.

He was temp-banned and sig-banned (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5145840) and got it overturned. No permaban. Cellard (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=381705)? Although it was also a temp ban! cellard was first permabanned, then the ban was revised to temp+sig. That's why he counts and bill gator doesn't. It's just how modlog works.

It's just too complicated to glue it all together as evidenced by the issues above. I have updated the list. The number of users should now be closer to "who posted at least once within the 1 year period" as stated in the OP. Some no longer active campaigns have dropped off the list. Next I'll try to make the PPD more relevant. Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: khaled0111 on September 26, 2019, 09:47:32 PM Excuse me suchmoon, but anyone who wants to jump to conclusions, must be sure he read the number of days for which the campaign have been running during the last year and if the campaign is still active or not.
Impressed by ChipMixer stats! (DS is doing a great job,) Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: suchmoon on September 26, 2019, 10:02:32 PM Excuse me suchmoon, but anyone who wants to jump to conclusions, must be sure he read the number of days for which the campaign have been running during the last year and if the campaign is still active or not. Sure, that's why there is a list of current campaigns in the second post for a more apples-to-apples comparison but even that is not quite fair. Recently started campaigns haven't had a chance to get as many bans or deleted posts as the older ones, although they are trying for sure... see minter: 14 days, 4 bans. Historic data can be quite interesting for other reasons, particularly since the totally-not-a-yobit campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187840.0) is making a comeback. I'm almost tempted to start taking bets on that one - will it be able to exceed the crappiness of the previous one before getting blacklisted. Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: o_e_l_e_o on September 26, 2019, 10:18:56 PM Any chance of a "posts deleted divided by number of active days" column? I feel that might be a useful metric for both comparing campaigns and finding the worst offenders.
I've certainly noticed (and have been reporting) a flood of "Minter" spam over the last week. This makes more sense now that I see they have recruited 300 users. Their total number of deleted posts doesn't look that high, but when looking at posts deleted per day, they are currently coming in at 23.5, which is the highest of the top 10 recently active campaigns in your second post. I'd be interested to see how it compares against all campaigns. I appreciate the limitation in what I'm asking for as it does not take in to account total number of posts made in the campaign. Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: hosseinimr93 on September 26, 2019, 11:06:09 PM There is a big difference between bounties and bitcoin signature campaigns.
- In bounties, the acceptance of your application does not depend on your post history, merit, spamming, etc. - In bitcoin signature campaigns, your post history is always reviewed by managers. So, if the number of deleted posts of participants of campaign "A" is higher than "B", we cannot say the bounty manager of "A" is worse than "B". Almost all bounty managers accept any user unless the user has red trust. In bitcoin signature campaigns, the quality of posts of participants depends on manager. The manager remove any one spamming and try to accept high quality posters. In these campaigns the quality of posts depends on the rates too. It's normal that the quality of posts made by Chipmixer's participants is higher than posts made by Bitvest participants. Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: o_e_l_e_o on September 26, 2019, 11:40:18 PM There is a big difference between bounties and bitcoin signature campaigns. If you are talking about bounties in relation to Facebook, Twitter, Medium, etc., promotion, then this is irrelevant to these data, since they are "based on URLs found in user signatures".If you are talking about bounties in relation to signature campaigns which pay in a(n) token/altcoin, as opposed to signature campaigns which pay in bitcoin, then you are correct to say that bitcoin paying campaigns generally have much higher quality posts than token/altcoin paying campaigns. This, however, does not mean bounty managers have free reign to let their participants spam low quality trash across the forum. In fact, the vast majority of spam comes from campaigns which do not pay in bitcoin; since they can create their payment token out of nothing, it costs them nothing to "pay" for this advertising and so they don't have to be picky and look for high quality posters. Instead, the go for quantity over quality and recruit hundreds of spammers. If any of these campaigns is having excessive numbers of their posts deleted for spamming, then that bounty manager should either do their job properly, or the campaign should be banned.

If any of these campaigns is having excessive numbers of their posts deleted for spamming, then that bounty manager should either do their job properly, or the campaign should be banned. Unfortunately, managers of altcoins signature campaigns accept any user applies. Just check some of their spreadsheets. I just wanted to say that even if a campaign has lower number of deleted posts, it doesn't mean that its manager is doing his job properly. The lower number of deleted posts is only due to his luck. Because he has accepted all the applications. We cannot compare the quality of mangers work based on deleted posts. Because all of them are doing a same thing. They accept every one. If campaign "A" has less deleted posts than "B", it doesn't mean that the manager of campaign "A" is better than manager of campaign "B". Because both managers have accepted every one. Manager "A" is only more lucky than manager "B". Check the spreadsheets. Only some users with red trust are not accepted. It is same in almost all of altcoins signature campaigns.

The lower number of deleted posts is only due to his luck. Because he has accepted all the applications. Ahh, I misunderstood your tone. Such are the perils of communicating via a forum.I agree with your statement that pretty much all altcoin bounty managers are not doing the job they are supposed to be doing and are accepting any old trash to their campaigns, and as you say, number of posts deleted is not an absolute measure of quality. It is a useful indicator, though, and it is no surprise that in general the altcoin paying campaigns have many, many more posts deleted than the bitcoin paying campaigns. There are obvious a couple of exception to this, most notable the recently reactivated Yobit spam. Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: eddie13 on September 27, 2019, 12:28:33 AM Yeah, now this is what I was talking about!
I count only permabans. Is this any good? What is the ban for spamming? Aren't straight permabans mostly for only plagiarism, ban evasion, and malicious links? Could you easily redo it to count all bans? If any of these campaigns is having excessive numbers of their posts deleted for spamming, then that bounty manager should either do their job properly, or the campaign should be banned. I'd say ban the bounty/campaign manager a couple times before you go banning the signature URL.. If they have to replace the BM a couple times then maybe ban the URL, or if managed offsite then just ban the URL.. Then their will be risk to the companies if they agree to low quality with low quality managers, or risk for 1 strike and your out if they choose to manage offsite.. This will create incentive to hire quality managers and to not manage offsite for the companies.. I wanna see the bad BMs/CMs accounts get WREKT and push the companies to hire managers that do a good job and will only agree to do a good job.. So this would be good for the economy of the quality managers.. Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: suchmoon on September 27, 2019, 12:48:03 AM Is this any good? What is the ban for spamming? First offence - typcally a tempban, and it takes a lot of spamming to get that. Some extreme serial offenders could eventually get a permaban but that'd be very rare. Aren't straight permabans mostly for only plagiarism, ban evasion, and malicious links? Pretty much. Could you easily redo it to count all bans? Sadly no. modlog contains only permanent bans (and not all of them). However as a comparative metric it's still quite good I think. A campaign that had 10% of its participants permabanned is very likely not managed as well as a campaign that had 1 or 2%.

Most problems are with altcoin campaign, where 99% campaign manager never think to check the post quality, they only thinks about the post counts.

Which one you are counting? Current signature? If you are counting current signature, what if they have removed the signature? I'm counting the ban against the last known signature within 7 days before the ban. There might be some inaccuracies but it goes both ways - some bans may get uncounted, some may get double-counted - e.g. if someone within 7 days switched campaigns twice AND got banned. This should be very rare though. It's now 4000, I have shared it on behalf of you :D Thank you :) Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: suchmoon on October 01, 2019, 09:07:52 PM I have updated the lists through September 30 so this now includes our new favorite campaign (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5188047).
I have also made a couple of other changes: The exercise is very interesting, although I do find the PPD rather low in general. For example Chipmixer has a PPD of 2.4, but going over the last two weeks of the spread sheet it is more in the 4.4 to 4.6 area (some random lower week tolled 3.87). It may be related to dividing by the 110 distinct participants over a 365 day period. If we do it by a rough 60 concurrent participants, we get a 4.4 PPD, which is in line with the spreadsheet. Ofcourse we know the number of cuncurrent users in Chipmixer, but not off-hand for all the other campaigns. I have adjusted PPD to count only "active" days and users who posted on those days (as per the definition in the OP). So this is going to be even higher for Chipmixer. It may discard some low-activity days but I think it better reflects the overall activity. Any chance of a "posts deleted divided by number of active days" column? I feel that might be a useful metric for both comparing campaigns and finding the worst offenders. Done - see "Del/Day". And last but not least - I have to say I'm very impressed by the number of deleted posts in the CryptoTalk campaign. I don't have time to report that crap but my hat's off to whoever is doing it, and please don't forget to report serial offenders to yahoo62278 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=355846). Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: LTU_btc on October 01, 2019, 10:40:11 PM Very interesting stats. Well, Yobit/Cryptotalk campaign stats isn't as bad as I expected. There was even worse campaigns. But notice mainly Yobit spammers, it's because this campaign have highest number of participants and it means highest number of spammers. It would be interesting to see some merits stats included to this table for comparison.
But not everything is 100% accurate here. Some websites are listed here without having signature campaign, for example Bitcoin.org - some users simply wear signatures with a link to Bitcoin.org. And there is websites which never had campaign here, like Binance or Freebitco.in - members simply promote their affiliate links in signature.

I don't have a way to determine what is an "official" campaign and I stated as much in the OP. I have manually removed some frequent links that are not really campaigns (youtu.be, facebook.com, etc). If I don't forget, during the next update I'll do that with bitcoin.org and discord.gg as well. Binance and Freebitco.in I might just leave as is.

Those numbers are even worse than I thought they would be. YoBit campaigns 1 and 2 coming in at 162 and 176 respectively, with the next closest campaign being Minter at only 28. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I've been very aware of all the Minter spam over the last couple of weeks, but to think YoBit is 500% worse is astounding. Cryptotalk at a 176 is even more impressive when you think it has only been active for a few days, since not every spam post is deleted in good time. Seeing these numbers, despite Yahoo obviously trying his hardest to clean up this flood of trash posts, I can't help but feel (and hope) YoBit is heading for another ban.Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: yahoo62278 on October 02, 2019, 03:11:55 PM despite Yahoo obviously trying his hardest to clean up this flood of trash posts, I can't help but feel (and hope) YoBit is heading for another ban. I am killing as many spammers as I can each day. Everyone can see that, only problem I have with the numbers is when I ban a user they're still wearing the sig. Even though they're kicked out, their deleted posts and all other stats count against the campaign. Not that the numbers wouldn't still be higher than all the other campaigns(probably 5x more members in the campaign then quite a few of the others, so you have to kinda expect that somewhat right?), but still not exact. @suchmoon Just to verify a little info for you on the campaigns I manage. I know you posted you have not verified any of the info, just trying to help if this helps. Windice - 45 currently active users Bitsler - 16 active users Bustadice - 16 active users MintDice - 40 active users Cryptotalk - 300+ If cryptotalk.org would just accept maybe 50 or even 100 members, the problem might not be so bad. Or if their manager had any say in the matter as to who gets into the campaign. The automated process they use is crazy. No post checking, no merit requirement, no nothing.

Some of them weren't exactly shitposts, but I'll take your word on the obviousness of some of the replies. No doubt they're motivated primarily by their campaign. I have the whole altcoin section blocked now, as this seems to be where all the crap posters flock to. Sometimes I find interesting threads there, but right now I don't feel like sifting through a mountain of manure either looking for a hidden gem to merit or to read something that catches my attention. That entire section stinks to high hell--it always did, but now it's even worse. Those numbers are even worse than I thought they would be. If that's the case, you ought to learn to lower your expectations. Bring a shovel and a poopy bag next time you see a thread where the majority of the members are wearing a signature that has anything to do with Yobit or cryptotalk.org. Lol. Anyone remember Secondstrade? Their participants were just as bad as Yobit's, except I think they put a cap at how many they allowed in their campaign. It makes a huge difference. If cryptotalk.org would just accept maybe 50 or even 100 members, the problem might not be so bad. Or if their manager had any say in the matter as to who gets into the campaign.

I think everybody knows your situation with the Cryptotalk campaign and that you don't have the power to approve applications. So obviously when a shitposter joins and then you kick them out - by definition all that shit they posted makes the campaign look worse.

And it also includes those who don't remove signatures even if they're no longer paid by the campaign. I'm thinking of adding "max daily posters" or "average daily posters" or something like that, which would be a better reflection of the size of the campaign.

But because of their ridiculous policy of accepting everyone* (which again I realize you have no control over) and then relying on you to ban the spammers, I can't help but feel you will never win. There is a near endless stream of spammer accounts who will want to sign up at some point. If they keep going like this, I would hope theymos would step in as he did before.*The cynical side of me says they are doing this on purpose. People set their signature, you quickly ban them, they don't realise they are banned, and then YoBit benefit from free signature advertising.

would it be possible to generate a list of all the users in these campaigns? i would like to put them all on my ignore list. That would be a lot of users so probably not. I'm not even sure if your ignore list could handle that.

Most of the users of forum including the best users are using at least one of these signatures. If you put all of them in your ignore list, then you will see only the posts made by newbies. So if you want to ignore all of the posts made by these users, I suggest you to ignore the forum and logout now. Any way, you can use the spreadsheets.

You realize that if suchmoon gives you that list, you're going to repay the favor by ignoring him in the future? ;D ;D I have added avg and max number of users, as well as posts per day.

If you plan any updates you might want to remove Quote 30. is.gd is a short url service.Pure coincidence is used by a bounty campaign that has just been bumped in the scam accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5172358.0) Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: suchmoon on October 03, 2019, 08:55:57 PM If you plan any updates you might want to remove Quote 30. is.gd is a short url service.Pure coincidence is used by a bounty campaign that has just been bumped in the scam accusation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5172358.0) Thanks.

I think everybody knows your situation with the Cryptotalk campaign and that you don't have the power to approve applications. So obviously when a shitposter joins and then you kick them out - by definition all that shit they posted makes the campaign look worse. Don't take this personally :) Are you planning to generate a new list of Cryptotalk campaign participants soon? I see the last one was in october. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5196008.0 Title: Re: Signature campaign stats: users, bans, posts, deleted posts Post by: suchmoon on November 21, 2019, 07:51:13 PM Hello suchmoon Are you planning to generate a new list of Cryptotalk campaign participants soon?
