1. First we need to define what is spam like what types of posts will be considered as spam. A proper guideline will help many people to improve themselves.
No. 2. Mega threads should be locked for not giving room to spammers.
Trashed*. 3. Most sig. campaigns enforce minimum post limits. This enforces people to write even they do not have enough points to write.
No. New negative trust color:
Red color : Scammers Yellow color : Spammers
That seems like a rather *simple* change, that might just be effective enough. I'd be interested in hearing what others think about it. Lets go one step further, don't call it trust, thats a marketplace thing. I dont necessarily distrust spammers, they are an annoyance. Add a second way to rate users, call it post score (or something similar), the system itself could even work the same way the trust system works (with only minor adjustments). Might even add options to hide the post scores completely, if you do not care about that sort of governance/moderation. While your suggestion is more advanced, and thus likely to be more useful, you are forgetting the simplicity of implementation. Adding another option to the current trust system should not be *too hard*. Implementing a whole separate system is, and I doubt theymos is going to do it given how little time he spends on this forum as is. -snip-
Horrible suggestion. Put that back into the garbage bin. |

Although that yellow is hard on the eyes. Maybe orange? Spammers |

That was 5 years ago before spam was like this. Back in 2013 the forum was great and everyone enjoyed using it.
I wouldn't say great, but definitely at least several times better than it is now. The guidelines are very outdated. |

That's not a shitpost. It's mockery. |

LOL. Have you been blind? As ibminer said this had been a show of "good ol' boys club".
There is no such thing going on, *yet*. |

I'm curious to know why everybody got tagged except for one which is 33. AT101ET It was explained elsewhere. |

Remind me again how much time OgNasty has invested in fighting the scum of this forum, either by directly tagging them or *recruiting* DT2 members to do so? Oh right, from what I've seen, almost zero.
I've protected far more BTC for users on this forum than you ever will.. Like who, NastyFans? Watch out for the QS kool-aid, it can be damaging.  and see little value in your harassing new users with negative feedback if their posts aren't of high enough quality for your liking.
Which is absolutely not something that I'm doing. It's nice to see that you are actually up-to-date with the stuff when trying to undermine others. 
Why did I get a sudden reminder of butter? Wait, that must be spelled differently. |

What I am is not relevant here. My own country men should behave regardless of what country they really come from. We have a little section where they can go speak in their own language, but their behavior outside should be "world-class" ... whatever that really means.
This. ...
I keep telling them to get a real job even from McDonald's or fast food service crew or some such, and that bitcointalk is not a place to "work". My "work" here is to clean up, so in some ways, I'm the "janitor" of the forum. Some get angry since I'm depriving them of income, which they did not justifiably earn. Some like it because you can read the section with a little bit more clarity after the junk has been removed.
See, you're a smart one. Abusing positions should be always avoided, even in tough situations. Seeing posting as a *job* is very wrong, and unless one actually spends 40 hours a week reaching a posting quota of let's say 30 posts (which isn't that uncommon), they're likely delivering utter garbage. I like you, just wish that you had a stronger fire in you.  |

On the other hand what can you say about them joining on sig camp and busting their competitors and gain fame to have slot on every camp they wish to join?
How about the following: I could give him a permanent spot in any of my campaigns. Therefore, he can not be biased as he is never in competition for a spot with anyone? Oh right OP, you'd still complain because you're a butthurt idiot. locations is not accurate and can still be spoofed or faked..
Let me just fake my own timezone by posting during the night time and sleeping during the day. Genius. |

...which I think would open an environment for the controlling of what content is deemed "ok" by DT members.
I don't think any of us really care about the content as long as it isn't illegal or some sort of *libel/defamation*. ..theymos on whether his guidelines are any different today..
They are outdated and wrong, just like most of the policies of this forum. Do I need to remind people why legitimate people jumped ship? Read the prior sentence. OgNasty just posted this. He is top of the foodchain in regards to DT. It's all good now.
Remind me again how much time OgNasty has invested in fighting the scum of this forum, either by directly tagging them or *recruiting* DT2 members to do so? Oh right, from what I've seen, almost zero. And not as if you have been running a vendetta against the 3rd world people in this forum.
Nobody is doing that. I have a game that you might like to play. Guess the sender's nationality: [SMAS] My list of users banned from sig. campaigns
Sir my username *retracted* is here I don't understand why you banned me I'm not spammer. I'm begging you to remove me in the list. Sir what shall I do so that you will remove me here. Sir Please.

+1. I cannot believe how misinformed the people are here.
What do you expect when the forum is filled with armies of shitposting monkeys? |

Hi,
I'm a newbie and hope to join bounties in the future. Just on an objective view point, did you agree on his terms and joined the bounty he manages voluntarily?
...something.... agreement... something
Don't post bullshit. This has nothing to do with voluntary agreements. This is next to blackmail. Your options are: a) Accept what they are offering; b) They will reject you as a translator and take someone else. Clear, and disgusting abuse of the position for their own greed. |

Crazy Cat Lady I'll stick around to keep tabs on you
Enjoy wasting your time. Wake me up when you actually contribute somehow. When theymos states DO NOT rate people based on the Quality of a post isn't that saying DON'T do it? It's a guideline, something that does not need to be followed shall one choose not to. Like many of his policies, these are backwards too given the state of the forum.
P.S. Nice multiple posting gaps and nice change of the quality of your posts. Could you make it more less obvious? |

I only have one price that is $40 per week.
That would make your hourly wage sub $1 assuming that you properly do the work that you're offering here. You can't be serious?  |
|

He is Breaking the very rule theymos laid down regarding the Marketplace trust " Do not rate people based on the quality of their posts."
That is not a rule. He needs to go.
How about you go away instead? |

I'll need some time to take a look at this, but if your connections are valid then the case is trivial.

You aren't seeing what I'm actually talking about.
These are not applications. These are report updates. Meaning, they are posted every week to bump the thread and share links to their participation in the campaign.
This is not something done once by one person. This is done by every Facebook/Twitter campaign participant every week to keep the thread alive. If that's not incentivization to post in the thread then I don't know what is.
You are required to create new tweets (or Facebook activity or whatever) in week X to apply for week X of the bounty though. If you don't apply by posting them, in campaigns that accept submissions via posts, then you won't get anything. I take it that some users (like in the example), tend to quote their older posts for easier tracking. |

This is literally exactly what I am referring to above...
You are literally, objectively, in every conceivable way, a sad-little scammer. Therefore, it does not apply.  |
|
|

To be clear: A lot of the people who are applying to bounties are just dumb. This is not subjective, this is not racist or discriminatory (or whatever the "The Pharmacist vs. Filipinos" thread is about). They do not bother to read (or are unable to understand?), and they are often very self-entitled. You can see this in bounty campaigns which have moved submissions to external forms, a lot of people still keep spamming the thread (even though those submissions will be ignored) and a lot of them don't respect the time limits per round either. This should be disallowed, right? If the bounty threads are requiring this kind of reporting then it's simply another form of incentivizing posts on the thread. Another way of just 'bumping'.
Per that rule: Not really. They are similar to signature campaign applications. Should they be disallowed? Absolutely. Services, can and should move the registrations off of the forum to avoid unnecessary spam. |

To be fair , you need to remove yourself from moonlight campaign as otherwise it will be a biased selection.
How about the following: I could give him a permanent spot in any of my campaigns. Therefore, he can not be biased as he is never in competition for a spot with anyone.? |
