How much gap (in minutes) is required bw two posts to avoid getting banned, red trust or brust posting ?
5min, 10min, 15 min, 20 min, 25min or 30 min.

Hi  you don't have these kind of rules here.
If you join a signature, usually you will have a maximum of post per day or per week.
If the max per day is 5 posts. you can wait like 1h to be sure that the manager will count it.

But if you just want to answer on the forum you dont have to wait BUT if you need to had something to a text, use the edit function instead of posting again :)

The idea is to post when you would genuinely post, not count a span of time between every post and “artificially” make them for every period. This usually leads to spam and shitposts. If you act like this is a normal forum (it is ;)) you will never get it wrong.

You do not get banned or red-tagged for posting quickly. Different account ranks have posting limitations set by the forum automatically, and you can't post faster than your specific rank permission. The higher your forum rank the lower the posting waiting time.

This feature was added to reduce spamming, AFAIK, cool down time also exists in making reports, meriting posts and also making searches. You can't run around the feature, just follow ethical rules of posting and engage constructively.

Yes, And here is how the waiting time is calculated.


The maximum wait time is 360 seconds which is for newbies.

Championt, the waiting time for you is now 90-51 = 39 seconds. So, you can make 1 post per 39 seconds. But the main rule is "DO NOT SPAM".

As Upgrade00 said, you won't be banned because of the time between your posts. Users are usually banned due to spamming and plagiarism.  

Unfortunately, I don't see this being the end result of your advice.

Based on the OPs other thread/posts:

::) ::)

It would appear that they got removed from the "cryptotalk/yobit" campaign for offering spamming services... no doubt this is the reason behind asking such a question. :-\

OP, first you need to know what is burstPosting?

Replying to random threads in quick intervals and never bothered about getting into any discussion and the purpose of making the post is only to get paid is called a burst posting.

Here is an example of burst poster

How much free time people like you have.

Well, it he posts solely for his signature, then my suggestion isn’t for him. :P

Those who treat the forum as a forum, made for discussions, and not a place to make random quick posts for money, will probably never need to worry about the time between each of their posts. In OP’s case, he is probably only worried about masking his burst posting (counted for his sig).

Just post normally and constructively.

Make sure you avoid this two

1. Burst posting
Lets say someone is participating in a signature campaign and they need a minimum of 25 post per week so as to be paid. If that person does not post for lets say 4-5 days and then in the next 2 days. Hey decided to make 25 posts with on spaces of 5-10 minutes, then it's considered post bursting. Spreading out posts through out days is considered good. like 4-3 posts per day with atleast 30 minute difference between them

2. Spamming
I am pretty sure this is self explanatory and you know what it means. Posting useless replies or making unnecessary posts in different board, Replying mega threads with generic responses, Making consecutive replies, Replying on a topic with the same response that has already been mention by someone, replying very old topic (necrobumping)

It depends of the context of course. If the topic is "wher is the log out button" no point of replying the same answer. After if the topic is about a point of view "will bitcoin fail if satoshi identity is revealed " it's normal to give the "same answer" as long as you don't copy/paste an answer from someone else.

Don't spam, otherwise post as you feel like it. Even if you make several posts within several minute intervals, that doesn't mean there should be anything wrong in that in and of itself. Some campaign managers may perhaps kick you out of their campaign regardless of your post quality, but you won't get banned from bitcointalk just because you were able to quickly give on-topic answers on a topic of your interest or expertise. Same with red trust which without a flag means less nowadays.

OP, did you got banned from Cryptotalk campaign for burst posting? :D
Personally, I never thought about gap between my posts. I just do it naturally like every normal forum member. After last my post, I try to find another interesting topic for me, read posts in it and make reply. Sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes or few hours. It also depends on how much free time I have to spend on Bitcointalk.
But if you're typical spammer, it doesn't matter how small or big gaps will be, it won't change anything.
Well, it only takes few seconds to check your post history...

Let's fix this
It's funny how someone offering with a "I can help you posting service" have no idea.

Most likely. I thought he's only going to provide the content ant the "client" will do the posting. He must have been given access to the hacked or sold accounts now and started posting on his own.

Thank you everyone for the reply.

So for cryptotalk we have to wait for 30mins. Rest there is no restrictions

Sometimes you can posts one after the other within less than 5 mins also if you are in sort of active conversations. There is no fix rule of gap between posts. There are spam posts which are in one hour interval and there are quality posts even if they are posted 5 mins apart. The focus should be on quality posting and not between the time gap between posts.

It depends on your nature of lost as you cannot make multiple posts within mins just to complete your target for signature campaign but if you are posting something useful then you can post even within minutes because the moderators will only flag unnecessary posts like btc vs gold,  etc.

You definitely won't get banned for posting too quickly but It could be considered as burstposting. A term used to defined a situation where a user posts so much in so little time. I'd say you should leave a reasonable gap between your posts so you can dedicate more time to writing good content. Just keep it reasonable and you should be good 👍

Also, to clarify, "Burst posting" isn't so much about the amount of time between posts... it is clumping all your posts into one block of time and is generally a signature campaign specific metric. Mods don't care if you come online once a week, make 30 posts in 1 hour time period and then disappear again (assuming you're not posting off-topic replies or spam etc).

However, to most of the campaign managers, this would be classified as "burst posting"... you're basically just coming online to make your min/max quota of posts for the week in one short "burst". The burst posting "rule" is designed to encourage users to participate in the forum in a normal/organic way on a daily or semi-regular basis... rather than attempting to simply meet minimum requirements (and/or maximise returns) by throwing up a lot of posts all at once before the weekly cut-off.

I still stand by my original assertion that anyone who is concerned about the minimum time between posts "to avoid getting banned, red trust or brust posting ?" is not here to contribute to the forum in a meaningful way.

I'm ok with 10 to 15  minutes as long as your post contributes to the topic and you are bringing interest on the topic if you are participating on a post that deals with 10 posts a week like they do in ICO campaign you should do it hours apart, worst part of burst posting is a 2 or 3 minutes apart on the same topic.

i think giving a 30 min gap will be acceptable to every bounty moderator.

Technically there is no “rest” in between posts you make but obviously in the eyes of any campaign manager it would be too obvious if their participants are clamping all their post in a short period of time which just abuses their campaign. Just put your mind in the eyes of a campaign manager or for any project funding the campaign, would you be happy if all your participants just post let say the rquired 25 posts in just one day? Obviously not, they are incentivizing your posts as a member here in the forum don't make it look like you are just here for the payment and act this out as a job you need to cram all in one short period.

That would be considered as spamming since the time gap between each post is 2-3 minutes. That really is a worst part and may get red tagged by DTs as a spammer while also doing a post bursting. Posting 5-10 minutes gap each post but not in the same thread is not bad in my opinion as long as it's right on topic.

If you are typing as a human being then there is no time constraint for this. Until and Unless you do any kind of spamming or any topic which is not relevant to this forum or spreading any kind of wrong information which misguiding any newbie then you will be banned.

Whenever I am posting, the usual gap I make is usually 30 minutes so that I won't get banned. Before, I though it was fine to make a gap for atleast 10 minutes but I learned from a friend who was banned after doing it so I avoided making the same mistake ever since. It's very important that we are strictly following the rules so that we won't experience any inconvenience or any additional worries while we are investing and joining projects here in the forum.

The concept of post bursting, and its implication is clear, and is somewhere along the lines of this:
Something like half a dozen participants in the Chipmixer campaign have had their posts rated as such on some week, which is pretty low, although the participants there do know what they are doing and likely know the rules off by heart.

What is considered as a short period of time is subjective, and may well vary from one campaign manager to another (as the degree with which this concept is looked into).

Post bursting or alike should not warrant negative trust (although some people may do tag for this concept), and banning would not be derived per se, but rather more for producing very low content spam reiteratively.

Not only the gap between posts but the posts itself does matter, if you want the bounty manager to accept you in campaigns. As i see your post history is complied of only half line and one liner posts which no good bounty manager will accept and admit you in the campaign. You also need to improve your writing skills.

No need to have different opinions on this issues if you have read all the rules and guidelines i think, it should be clear to everyone for those who want to read it again here is the post of the global moderator
