How can you have been here since 2011 and you still use MtGox? Nobody's fault but your own, stop trying to put the blame on others.



And if you have proof you should share it.

Good solution, gives people incentive to want to hang onto their accounts if they want to be paid for their sigs.

Another issue I clearly see with this is that the advertising services that are going to stick around on this forum ( yes they will ) are going to pay even smaller sums for newbie / jr members, therefore creating an even bigger incentive to post high quantities of low quality posts to make up for 'lost' money in comparison to the full members.
You have a valid point, if that happens that will create more problem, IMHO the decision of putting restriction on Signature is justified, but I don't think its the solution to cut down the spam post. Lets see and analyze for next few days..!

Once they get banned a couple of times they'll figure out that if they ever want to hang onto their account to get around this that they need to not spam. And we do ban spammers, I ban probably 10-12 people on average a day.

I was busy for the past few months in reporting spam posts. And it seems like I got 100% accuracy so far. Just hit on the "report to moderator" link and you'll see that useless post gone. If it's disallowed, there will be a plunge in activities.

I report posts as I go, also, but even with a 100% accuracy (do they really keep track?) some threads/posts I've reported are untouched.

Just because a specific post may remain doesn't mean the moderator didn't act on it. May have opted for a pm warning, or may have just banned them but didn't delete posts, etc.

How so? It's only a violation for people who can't read.

ATTN:  WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT WALLET ADDRESSES ON FB.  This gives us a consolidated list to work from and we can make sure that no one is double dipping.  If you created your FB page today, you will not receive coins.  Sorry.

Does make for a good honeypot though.


1244  Other / Meta / Re: Has something gone wrong with the forum? on: February 27, 2014, 09:40:44 AM
All this will just lead to people posting more useless posts instead of deterring it.

How? Activity is limited to 14 every 2 weeks no matter how many posts you make.
1245  Other / Meta / Re: Possible spambots "hey, i am fresh here" on: February 26, 2014, 02:46:30 PM
Banned. Auto delete tool for spammers is acting up though.
1246  Other / Meta / Re: Proposal: Disallow Ads in Signatures on: February 26, 2014, 10:50:51 AM
I think we can all agree it's a problem, we just need a good solution that isn't a waste of time. Banning paid sigs is easy to say but how? They'll just do the offer on their own website instead. Sigs only to one's own site? Great, good luck finding someone to waste hours of their time enforcing that though.

Only clean solution I see is to remove sigs altogether, it's a shame people need to abuse it. It's not a good solution but at least it would work.
1247  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion : Filter Spam URLs on: February 25, 2014, 02:43:15 PM
They do when it gets annoying enough from the same site, but it never works for long.
1248  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Obligatory I'm not dead or running post on: February 25, 2014, 02:40:42 PM
Judging from his pictures, he's like 13 or something? Did you really all give your money to a 13 year old?
but I sure he is not 13 he is very old person as I have some idea about him  Cheesy

He's in college, at least from what he said.
1249  Other / Meta / Re: Possible spambots "hey, i am fresh here" on: February 25, 2014, 01:52:17 PM
Banned all except the last, I'll look at him later. Didn't delete any posts, no time today.
1250  Other / Meta / Re: Mark Karpeles deaththreats? on: February 25, 2014, 01:45:29 PM
Definitely not allowed, report it.

I have no money in mtgox just to clarify...

heres a response to your reporting: dry your eyes and don't read it ?
Do you have any money in mtgox ?

I'm pretty sure he was asking for someone's opinion that matters.

LAN gaming center would be the name you're looking for.
1252  Other / Meta / Re: Possible spambots "hey, i am fresh here" on: February 22, 2014, 02:15:36 PM
Got em.
1253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Discuss: Do you think Gox is intentionally trying to damage BTC? on: February 22, 2014, 01:19:09 PM
Maybe we should collaborate with the miners, and skim 10% from every bitcoin address and bail MtGox out.

Edit: Crap, got beaten to the joke
1254  Other / Meta / Re: Set a max quote limit, it's annoying to read 20 quotes and hard to edit as well on: February 22, 2014, 07:32:45 AM
It's actually an option in SMF, there's no limit though, it's either on or off.
1255  Other / Meta / Re: anyone else getting 1000 bitcoin virus emails a week on: February 22, 2014, 07:29:48 AM
Looks like it's just you pal. Maybe you should stop signing up for bitcoin porn.
1256  Other / Off-topic / Re: anonymous bitcoin donations from signature on: February 21, 2014, 04:43:37 PM
I've gotten several, some I know who from, some I don't. Not the current address in my sig, I change it regularly.
1257  Other / Meta / Re: Possible spambots "hey, i am fresh here" on: February 21, 2014, 01:58:00 PM
Well damn, that's a good catch.



I'll leave them be for now though, if they are bots or spammers it will become more clear. Spammers rarely get better, just worse.
1258  Other / Meta / Re: Possible spambots "hey, i am fresh here" on: February 21, 2014, 01:04:24 PM
Got em, except these two, looks like unique content.

Got em, plus 4 more from other threads they were posting in. It's amusing when you see copybots copying another copybot.
1260  Other / Meta / Re: How can we currently tell if a post has been edited? on: February 21, 2014, 10:19:31 AM
Yes, correct. Well minus the mods part.
