Hi

This is suchmoon's thread, not mine, but your request would require scraping many posts on those boards.

Will it be airdropped 1 to 1 to all Merit owners on Bitcointalk?

It was before you joined:

You're right! Mind blown :O

I never knew that. I'll edit the title to my new question: how do I get all posts? This messes up my data projects.

While scraping recent, I noticed I missed some posts. My logs show this:
The post ending on 86 this post is missing. I missed another post from the same thread too. I don't have the board on ignore, some other posts in the same thread show up as expected.

It's missing from half way the recent-page, and I have the same post missing a few seconds earlier or later too. That means the post was really missing from the page, which makes me think it's a bug in "recent".

Everything is on one very big page, that's all.

At NeuroticFish's request, I made this:

I'm just leaving it here in case anyone things this is useful If not, please ignore it.

And another 80 minutes wasted
How's this:
All posts in the Wall Observer thread in the past 1h, 24h and 7d
All posts in the past 1 hour: WallObserver.tk/1h.html (updated every 3 minutes).
All posts in the past 24 hours: WallObserver.tk (updated every 30 minutes).
All posts in the past 7 days: WallObserver.tk/7d.html (updated every 2 hours).

Domain WallObserver.tk expires a year from now, I'll see by then if anyone uses it.
All times are set to Amsterdam time.

Limitations:
Images still go through Bitcointalk's image proxy, and they don't load when there are too many on one page. In Firefox a fix is to go to the URL-bar a few times, and press Enter. Just "Reload" doesn't help.

Although slightly off-topic here: I think that's terrible for real users, while account farmers just set a timer and move to the next account to continue spamming.

Yes

You could have just clicked https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5023605.0;all , this topic is short enough

You're mentioning the campaigns that pay an actual coin with value. As much as I dislike the current Yobit spam: at least it has a cost to them!
The bounty campaigns that pay in worthless made-up Tokens cause much more spam, but it's mainly restricted to the (totally lost) Altcoin boards.
If theymos doesn't want to stop those, I don't think he'll implement stricter rules for Bitcoin-paying campaigns either. But if they push their luck, the entire campaign will get banned, and I'm pretty sure that's the only reason for Yobit to hire a campaign manager this time.

Think of it this way: the Yobit campaign is a good chance to get some high ranking accounts banned. And thanks to the Merit system, they can never farm another account with a high rank.

I do hate it though: the number of posts in the past week is up by 5000 since the start of the Yobit campaign, and I notice there are more BS-posts in topics that didn't have them before.

In the short time I was managing a signature campaign last year, my best posters always moved to ChipMixer the moment they had the chance. Just like in any other job, the right management can only attract the best people if they pay the best rates.

It's so dumb though: so you're living in a poor country and you get an opportunity to earn $30+ per day just to post on a forum, and the first thing you do is spam 20 posts in a row to get your $30 one day, and get banned the next day? Any sane person would take that opportunity and work very hard to produce the best possible posts, and get maybe $10 on a day, but it'll add up to $300 per month. And that's still more than the average income in many countries.

ChipMixer is also a very long running campaign. Even if another campaign pays more, you wouldn't get back in with ChipMixer when that one ends.

Sample:
Instead of:

Theymos describes it like this:
But who even reads that?

I would like to see the difference between "Trust lists" and "Feedback" explained more clearly on the forum:

But I'd also like to see custom Trust lists promoted the way the April Fools joke was promoted on top of each page. That would be a good way to reach many users who haven't created their own Trust list yet. Currently, only a handful of people create their first Trust list each week, and most users have never edited it at all.

Agreed!

See Personal Trust Flag viewer for malevolent (although I agree it's not ideal this isn't shown anywhere on the forum).

Sneak preview: I'm working on a per-topic-view. See http://loyce.club/archive/topics/
And I'm working on a and per-user-view, see http://loyce.club/archive/members/

You can report the posts:

Just a thought: I could make a list of active posters in the past 1h/24h/7d, dedicated to only a certain signature campaign. All it takes is a list of participants. I could also make my own version of patrol for only one campaign (say: yobitpatrol.tk). I think this would be a great tool for finding spammers, but getting an updated list of campaign participants isn't always easy.

Don't be a bear, be a bull I still have more than 11 hours to win this:

I didn't expect BTC to be this close to my (wife's) Q2-prediction in Q3 though.

I don't think this was a rhetorical question, although it feels like you gave the answer already:
I'll answer anyway: the main difference is that users can start getting paid before having their post history checked. I think that's similar to most bounty campaigns that pay in Tokens (created out of thin air and therefore don't cost the campaign anything), but the bounty spam is more or less limited to the Altcoin boards. Yobit is all over the forum.
And that's probably why theymos banned the campaign last time, while other campaigns don't get banned.
If this campaign runs long-term, I expect many dormant accounts to wake up, make 20 posts while you're sleeping, and get paid before you wake up to ban them. The next day they'll use their next account.

My suggestion would be to stop accepting everyone (and subsequently blacklisting the spammers), and switch to the system most Bitcoin paying campaigns use: only accept people after reviewing their post history. Or as I've suggested to Yobit before: if they really insist on automated enrollment: add at least an earned Merit requirement. That would instantly disqualify most inactive and many spamming accounts.

I'll add it next week. Considering how often people refer to my Trust list viewer, it might actually help them to better understand Trust lists.

You're compromising your privacy if you use those to verify a signed message.

By now it's virtually impossible to make a Trust list without conflicting Trust relations with other people. Say: A Trusts me but Distrusts B, I Trust B and C, and C distrusts B. You can't make everyone happy with your Trust list.

How about this:

Agreed. Trust lists should ideally only be based on how you value the other person's judgement.
I always feel like "Trust backstabbers" are the most sincere form of Trust list usage. As an example, these are all "Trust backstabbers" on theymos' Trust list:

When evaluating someone's judgement, you should also look at their stance on Flags.
For example:
OgNasty's Personal Trust Flag viewer (to my surprise he's not supporting any Flags)
LFC_Bitcoin's Personal Trust Flag viewer (a very long list )
