I am under the impression that if one mistakenly reports a post twice (as I have done when working down a succession of spam posts) then the duplicate report will be marked as bad.
Your impression is absolutely correct. I have had this happen to me a ton of times when I visit the same page of a spammer's post history and accidentally hit the report button.
I'm nearly at 4k good reports in 5 years, but I avoid low hanging fruit.
Handling complex cases is important and significantly more valuable than handling spam posts. I, for sure, have dedicated less effort than someone who solely seeks out the former case.

Code:
You have reported 43303 posts with 98% accuracy (38893 good, 981 bad, 3429 unhandled)

We need both sides of it, really. I'll take the grunt work Wink

1343  Other / Meta / Re: Signature Campaigns causing lifeless posts in Gambling section on: November 07, 2019, 06:11:31 PM
Just tell me the logic behind this question. It's like are you willing to teach your children drink if you don't get headaches after hangover?
I know a lot of silly questions are asked there while there are really some interesting topics too but cmon, don't open your fantasy so widely. Don't post anything for the sake of signature, enough is enough.
That's a false equivalency, actually.

Though both alcohol and gambling addiction are prevalent in society, the former has a significantly higher toll on the physiological health of the user. The latter would be a financial toll however depending on what kind of gambling you're "teaching" your pupils can actually perform better in terms of risk management and control.

Think of it like this way: a guided experience through gambling is almost certainly better than someone stumbling into their first gambling experience without any precautionary measures. /derail
In my opinion it's been steadily more difficult to start constructive topics in the Gambling and Bitcoin Discussion boards. Over the past year, I'd only thought up a noteworthy thread (that wasn't redundant) once, in regards to Bitcoin Discussion. In that sense, it's more of a survivor bias where you are finding solely spam posts because those that care about their posts seldom stoop to that level.

Probably not. Most people wouldn't find value in the coupon.
Good collateral is easily-liquidated if there is a default.

I notice that the Sportsbet.io campaign has the min/max switched. Making that alteration along with the WolfBet change.

* means that the campaign is currently having some trouble. Joining is not recommended.
* means that the campaign is paying in bitcoin with the addition of some alternative coins (altcoin). Taking a further look into the campaign's payrate is recommended.
* means that the campaign has some bonus going on. The specified amount in the table is the least amount of money you can have for each round. Check out their thread to know how their bonus works.



Yes/No explanation
If a campaign has Yes/No as escrow status, it means that the person holding the funds also manages the campaign. This is a conflict of interest, but shouldn't be a big problem if the person doing escrow is trusted.

You can lock it yourself. Bottom-left of the thread, and click the "lock" button.

And that's why I usually have the altcoin section and Bitcoin Discussion on ignore, because I don't have the patience to weed through a bunch of nonsense in order to find posts worthy of merits.  And believe me, I've tried.
Just to attest to this, I'm the exact opposite. I ignore all the quality sections to scour for spam. Altcoin Discussion and Trading Discussion are goldmines if you want useless replies!

sirminesalot was the initial bumper from what I seen last night. After his initial post in came the load of posters following him. The problem is I would still say all the users who quoted the OP of the thread and replied are to blame. These users did not take the time to read any replies. They just quoted the OP and made a post then moved on. The ones who replied to those users, maybe not so much.

Quoting the OP and not bothering to read other replies in the thread prior to themselves replying would qualify as a junk or spammy post.
Like I said: Anyone who is unwilling to read the context of the post isn't posting for the sake of the discussion. Rather, they are posting for the sake of the signature.

The Parmasist
@The Pharmacist is this your cousin?

This makes me think that game-protect types the names out one-by-one (prior to their copy-pasting) which makes me think they're even more insane than I originally thought. TwitchySeal's theory might make some sense here.

Game Protect does not make contracts and therefore can not intent to be legally bound by such.
Nice. Outside of the law, huh?
1353  Economy / Reputation / Re: List of banned participants in the Cryptotalk Campaign on: November 06, 2019, 03:08:23 PM
All of the above users directly quoted the OP or are answering other users who quoted the OP in a thread that I really would consider dead already. The question is who is at fault? The guy who bumped the thread 1st sirminesalot? All of them? Guys who kept bumping? Just want everyone to take a step or 2 in my shoes and give their opinions on what you would do with all these users?
Let us follow how reports work in this sequence:

Post #58: Old Post
Post #59: Necrobump
Post #60+: Future replies
Post #59 is reported.
Post #59 is deleted.
All posts 60+ are decremented by one.

Now the flow looks like this:

Post #58: Old Post
Post #59: Necrobump
Post #60+: Future replies
Hence, any irrelevant necrobump reply that is not of enough substance to justify the bump should be removed, period. Anyone who is unwilling to read the context of the post isn't posting for the sake of the discussion. Rather, they are posting for the sake of the signature. Why else wouldn't you read? Honestly.

See? Feign ignorance, diverge conversation into split parts, and then deflect the smaller parts and hinge off meaningless trivialities.

It's all part of the manipulation of this discourse.

I also asked them how new mining farms are supposed to sync a new full node in the case that they will actually have full 1TB blocks: 1 TB per block = 144 TB per day = 1.08 PB per week.

It will literally become insanely expensive (if not impossible) to sync a full node from scratch (and continue to run one).
This addresses the point:

Moore's Law is cool but what happens in the case where the data exceeds the download speed of the nodes?
How about when the uncapped block sizes result in too much data for the central locations to store?
Oh... high transaction fees will prevent that, is that right? Is that not what the point of large blocks was? To prevent high tx fees?
1356  Economy / Reputation / Re: Using trust rating for a death threat TMAN, foxpup and lauda. on: November 05, 2019, 03:54:50 PM
All I will say is that people who will jump to death threats quickly will usually not have the type of character that I'd judge as "trustworthy".

Unfortunately, the abstinence of civility only increases as the volume of negative feedback does, and in many cases when users open up threads vocalizing their discontent and indignant treatment, it ends up being the reverse of what they want.

Not all civil users end with removed negative feedback but most users with removed negative feedback have remained civil throughout.

If on one account all the videos are with a female voice, and on the other with a male voice. I think it’s clear that different people
Wrong. Think about exactly what this proves:

It proves that all the videos on one account are with a female voice and all the ones on the other are with a male voice. Nothing more, nothing less. You cannot use extremely circumstantial evidence to cryptographically separate two individuals.
I won't derail the thread further as this is already 3 posts deep. Create a new topic in Reputation.
1358  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Game-Protect.com did not refund my money and stopped replying to my emails on: November 05, 2019, 03:23:47 PM
I don't think he's just a troll.
I have a theory.

GP is a scammer, first and foremost.
These threads are bad for building a con but it is still possible, especially if you try to obfuscate the truth and justify your wrongdoing.

By diverging the topic from anything substantial and by repetitively stating, "all of those who oppose me are inherently flawed," game-protect is attempting to pawn off the scam as a misconstrued situation.

GP has already laid the foundation for their scam system and thus to discard it so easily without attempting to vie for some more victims is the least logical thing to do.
Think like a scammer and you will understand GP's mentality.
1359  Economy / Reputation / Re: List of banned participants in the Cryptotalk Campaign on: November 05, 2019, 03:18:40 PM
This is actually easy to verify. We have participated in the video bounty of many projects, if you watch the video, you will understand that this is not one person and these are different people on each account
How do you prove that each person is only using their account?

How do you prove that any of these people are the original owners of the account and not some random people?
Unfortunately these are intangible conditions that are nigh impossible to prove.

I ask any BSV supporters to answer this question which was ignored in their main thread:

Burning curiosity: why tack on all the extra stuff onto the chain?

Is it supposed to be a use case or a monetary transfer protocol?
Before you ask about any false dichotomy, consider why merging the two would be better than having just two independent systems.
