A suggestion can be to moderate the first 5 posts of each users, enough to understand if a new registered user is a bot or not.
If so, recaptcha can be removed allowing everyone browse the forum with Tor. Average registrations per day: 401.57 5 * 401.57 = 2007.85 Moderators still have not gone through all of my 2000 reports from a few days ago.
There is a no-captcha link available for signing into specifically your account: https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php. As for the IP block (or evil points) that penalizes banned users. |

Somehow this holds true. If you take a look on Altcoin Discussions, you can see a lot of Heroes or Legends spam all around.
Not all members achieved their rank by ' earning' merits, some acquired them through airdrops when the merit system was newly introduced and it was on the basis of their activity and not the value of their content, and ironically some have not been able to earn even a single merit despite owning legendary/Hero member accounts 21% of users on that list are Sr. Members and above.
Considering the fact that users with a higher rank have higher signature campaign pay, it makes sense that you would see just as much spam from them as you would lower ranks. Barring Newbies and Brand New members, it's about 50-50 between Sr.+ and Jr, to Full. |

The only solution, for now, is to report them, moderation isn't quite effective if you really want to dissolve shitposting because they will just avoid those moderated topics and post to the other threads. Remember, they're sig spammers who will post everywhere just to complete their task and earn bounty, it's really hard to stop them. Why not both?Create self-moderated threads in order to propagate the board with real discussion. Force spammers to be binned into useless threads or to start them and then now you have fish in a barrel. Wipe the thread or wipe their posts: either way, you're lifting the board of its spam. |

I don't really think economics is that bad, I post there rarely, and sometimes come across ok-ish discussions, topics by Hydrogen and O_e_l_e_o's arguments are really indepth and interesting to look into. Other than that, its usually a shitshow of people having ~0 knowledge in theoretical economics. It's not that bad, but it still is quite bad. As opposed to the 99% spam threads in Altcoin Discussion, you have somewhere around 65-80% spam in that section. Trading Discussion is more or less the same in that regard. Speculation would be somewhere around 50%. I think the spam would be genuinely reduced if there's just like a little more mods or patrollers around than what there currently are. The natural enemy of the spammer, the elusive moderator.
It's what people do. People often use blanket statements to be more effective in the way their words are perceived. It's alright saying "there are good posts there but the majority of it is spam" when "Altcoin Discussion is a spam section" has a much more active, and aggressive way of saying it. It's all about impact. Obviously, there's some really good discussion in every section of this forum about various different things.
I don't like excusing things because of a minority of contradictory instances. There is an invisible "generally" prior all statements, including this one. I won't say that you can't find genuine threads, but they are always overtaken by spammers or slammed down three pages deep when all the spam threads bubble back up. |

I can only see better moderation made less spam posts particularly less spam threads on Bitcoin discussion so I said other boards also need that kind of moderation level. You are correct in that, actually. While seeking out high-profile spammers, I found that Bitcoin Discussion has been flushed of the majority of the spam. The same can be said of SOME of Economics and Speculation. Strangely enough, Speculation is kind of better than Economics in terms of quality. You'll find more genuine discussion than the drab "Differences between an investor and common man!" and "Who is the richest person?" kind of threads.
The worst board is Altcoin discussion by far, with Economics and Trading Discussion are probably next in line. Off-topic is still a creature to be tamed because uninteresting threads with uninteresting one-liners should be deleted, but uninteresting threads with interesting replies should be kept. The problem is when we have crappy threads like "What's your favorite movie?" and you can't find a single response that adds to anything. A simple answer->explanation would make the posts worth reading. Unfortunately, there are too many posts that just write down some random movie title and drop off. What's the point?

killing is kissing, sun is moon and car is checkered Why do your definitions have no link to reality? I know that some mentally-ill bitcointalk accounts believe that they can define real world definitions, but this is not the case. Rather, a collective will assimilate to the status quo in regards to a consensus of linguistic definitions.

It's not really that bad. Spammers avoid moderated topics, especially if the OP is an old user. They know their shitposts are going to be deleted and that would simply make them waste time and not get paid at the end of the week. The kids in your example do that for their own fun or just because they are jerks, them trashing something takes a few seconds, for posters here is all about the money. Wasting their precious time on a post and have it deleted is going to hurt them, unlike the teenagers who won't lose anything when their garbage is cleaned up. Hmm, we could actually have an experiment with this  I'm betting on a 1 to 5 ratio at least. I have made self-moderated threads in spam sections before. Surprise surprise, look at the users that don't show up. After all, what is a forum designed for? Discussion? Pfft!
I was going to make a proposal to create more self-modded threads (and a 2nd post "trash bin" for transparency) in order to return the spam boards back to reality. Unfortunately, all that spam has corroded my brain and I'm not exactly sure what would be an interesting-enough discussion to start. |

I have asked theymos for two report queues: one for important/urgent reports and another for sig spam or less important stuff because the report queue is getting filled with reports on sig spammers and it buries all the others so mods have to scroll through dozens and sometimes hundreds of reports just to find something that isn't sig spam related. There could either be two report buttons or a drop down menu with the most common rule infractions and that sorts them into importance somehow. How does the report queue work, exactly? Is it paginated or would it be possible to just put out a blanket search term (e.g. via CTRL/CMD+F on browsers or editors)?
I could incorporate tags in my reports, or something like [P#] where you have prioritization from say # = [1, 4] in terms of ranking. Just as an example... [P1] would be plagiarism or egregious rule breaking [P2] would be mass bumping of a thread [P3] would be spam [P4] would be smaller rules, like 24h bumps |

If it's important enough to keep after 7 days, it's important enough to use in an external editor.
