I think you're mistaken. There's a 50 post max per week restriction but if there was one on the number of characters 90% of people here wouldn't be getting paid.

They shouldn't be paying either scammers or spammers but that's 99% of their userbase.They obviously don't care and just want as many members as possible shitting their advert all over the forum for as cheaply as possible.

He doesn't have to use an escrow, he needs someone checking the quality of posts and kicking them off and if he can't or is unwilling to do it then he needs to find someone who will. You can't just keep paying people to shit all over the forum.

Why the hell did they pay the ransom?  All this does is make them a bigger target because people now know they pay up.

I don't think this warning is going to be enough. Most people on this campaign won't even see it or if they do likely won't pay attention to it. If you keep paying for games and rounds people are going to keep spamming there. If you're having difficulty looking after /running this campaign then you need to either find someone who can do it for you or close it as you cannot keep paying people to spam absolute rubbish which is what most people on this campaign are doing.

You've been here less than a year and I'm not familiar with your username at all (which isn't a good sign). Anyone can buy an account very cheaply these days so being here any amount of time isn't the sole selling point to becoming an escrow. You need to be a very familiar face, extremely active and have plenty of previous trade history none of which you have. A good rule of becoming an escrow is whether people have already been asking you to escrow trades for them and if they haven't then you're likely either not required or not trusted enough to be an escrow.


What trust is that? You have three feedbacks currently two of which are for loans totalling 0.15btc and another for a mere giftcard trade which is the sole reason you have green trust but that doesn't make you trusted and you're wholly unqualified to be offering escrow services at this point in time.

I don't think you know what racism is. And I'm not saying all Turkish, Russian or Indonesians are spammers or that they are the cause of all the spam but you can't argue with the facts at what Nationality the users who make the most of it are (whether you want to admit it or not). And it's not just a few users. It's a lot, especially regarding Indonesians. Go through the spreadsheet yourself, pick out the spammers, and check their profiles to see if they have any posts in the local boards and you'll soon see I'm right. A while back there were ten+ different users all posting 'waiting for the next game' one after the other in daily giveaway threads. They were all Indonesian. Is that racist? No, it's a fact. It's also a fact that most of the spam is coming from Indonesians and they're the ones spamming up games and rounds but it's not exclusively them. This campaign could easily put a stop to it though by not paying for Games and Rounds and local boards and that's why I've suggested it.


The rules are already stated but they're clearly not enforced and that's why spam is happening, but nobody should have to be told not to shitpost or post rubbish as it should be self-evident.

Nobody says you have to write a thesis with every post and there's nothing wrong with one line posts and even the occasional one word posts but when someone's entire post history consists of one word posts in off topic or at best a short half-assed sentence they're a spammer in my and many others eyes. A good poster will have a mix of all sorts of posts from long to short and you can easily tell the difference between a lazy/greedy spammer who is only bothering for payment and a decent poster. Check out shorena's posts as an example of a quality contributor: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=181801. He might make the occasional one or few word posts but the majority of his posts are helpful and it's clear he puts a lot of effort in and isn't just churning out as many crappy posts as he can. The vast majority of people on this campaign either post entirely in Games and Rounds or at best squeeze a short sentence that they put the minimal amount of effort in and it's not hard to spot.

What's that supposed to mean?


I doubt you are writing anything significant and it's funny how hardly any of your posts are more than one sentence. You can usually tell just by a quick browse of users posts who are just posting for payment because they rarely write more than one line. The ones I can read of yours though are pretty shit so I doubt your Turkish posts are much different. And just because a sub has a mod or mods doesn't mean places aren't being abused or that a mod isn't doing his job. An entire subforum is difficult to manage and police by yourself and thus can easily be abused as many of the local boards are.


Because they are, just like Indonesians. You're being ridiculous to say there are no spammers there and just shows your extreme bias. The Turkish users might not be among the worst or the most common but this isn't a competition. I usually spot them outside of their local board when they spam in games and rounds or off-topic but whenever I see someone shitposting and check their posts the vast majority of the time they're from one of those three sections and seemingly never bother writing more than one short post. It is a problem whether you want to admit it or not but you're hardly impartial are you?

No, it might make it useless for people like you because you wont be able to get away with one line shitposts and take advantage of the lax moderation some of the local subs have.


Then you can join them, but this isn't about what campaigns are best or better to spammers (surprise surprise this one is great in your opinion because they don't check anyone's posts so people can get away with posting any drivel they want and in my and many others opinion this campaign is one of the worst (though that title currently goes to Yobit).


Really? Nobody is abusing this campaign at all in the local boards? Many Russians, Turkish and especially Indonesians are abusing this campaign because it is one of the ones that pay for locals and no matter what crap is posted there.


It's not being abused? Clearly you're not biased at all /sarcasm. Just actually look at the spread sheet and pick a few users at random and look at the quality of posts that they make. Most people just spam giveaways because that's all they need to do to get paid. Why even bother writing anything constructive when you get paid the same to copy and paste your username or at the most make half-assed one line posts of rubbish.

He is still getting very cheap advertising to have his ad plastered everywhere and it doesn't really matter where the spam is as it's still an ad impression for him regardless of the content of the post. I have suggested that he removes Games and Rounds and the Local boards as well (no idea why he pays for those when most of the other boards are disallowed and those two are obviously the boards that can be easily abused). I would say it's laziness that he does nothing to curb the spam and possibly even being cheap that he wont hire anyone to get on top of it if he can't.

Good, but still not enough. Those are just a small selection of users on this campaign and he only seems to remove people once people alert him to them. He himself needs to go through the spreadsheet and kick all the shitposters off and not just rely on others to run this campaign for him.

I obviously can't tell the content of your posts but they mostly look short one sentence ones to me so they could fall under no spam or short sentence. I'll ask xandry's opinion for clarification but signature campaign managers can kick who they want off at the end of the day.

Seems he just kicked them all off but most people will probably just move to yobit now. The majority of users on both campaigns either need kicking or banning though.

Part of me thinks they love it when this happens because they all get to pointlessly spam the same thing over and over.

Neutrals are often innefective. There have been a couple instances where I alone have left neutral and that user still went on to scam. Sometimes people just need the big red warning there for them to take note.


He did. It was trashed. Ref link.

Yeah, running pretty swiftly now.

Some people are posting random numbers in a random number guessing game? Shock horror! You created a stupid spammy giveaway thread and are now shocked when it gets stupidly spammed? All you're doing is giving Indonesian secondstrade spammers another place to quickly hit their targets on games and rounds.


I mean seriously 1 and 1000000? Don't be ridiculous. And only you know the number and no way to check you aren't going to change it or give it to one of your alts? Thread should be trashed or at least locked because it's only purpose is to be spammed in.

No. Thread already on the frontpage about this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1238563.0

Maybe he doesn't want to look an idiot? Haha. It's probably this guy though: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1239888.msg12907421#msg12907421
