Just keep reporting the posts and explain in details while reporting it. All his spam posts would be deleted and he may likely get temporary ban.

This might not be something that directly harms the forum or its well-being, but it's painful to watch.

If there was an award for burst-posting, this guy would surely be the winner in it. The guy is literally making a post every 2 to 3 minutes in any section he stumbles upon, look at the picture for reference:



That isn't the only board or place where he did or does this, he did the same in Gambling Discussion just an hour or half an hour ago but because that section is more crowded, it went unnoticed but it can be seen from his post history. The guy has 1690 posts with only 182 activity points, and most of his posts are of the same nature, generic 3-line posts without much contribution to the topics in question.

I'm not against this guy or anyone in general, but I feel this isn't normal behavior and there should be a way to prevent this from happening.

P.S.: I'll lock the thread if the community thinks otherwise. Open for discussion for now.

Merit cycling is the problem not the giveaways here.
Seeing a merit distributed for a post about freebets being given away is not constructive nor worthy of getting a merit for.
More investigation into why who are merit sources giving those sort of posts for monetary purposes or to be kept into their campaigns are needed.

Oh cool, i had to go through some of his old posts back in 2010 and most of them were him asking lot of questions for a better understanding of how the forum works. However, he is a lucky fellow but what i know is that anyone who wants to remain anonymous and start over with a different personality of course needs to act dumb at the early stage.

The knowledge of Theymos via the Bitcoin technology is great, I blindly started believing he had to be Satoshi if not for this clue you pointed. Thanks again LoyceVv

The devil LOL

There are many diversification in advertising. You don't know which is useful and which is not unless you are a host. For example if you see Merit Cycling Club, what benefits the host have for it? You may not have a clue but the host understand his concept and realize his return.

I don't think any business would give away money for fun, they have promotions and giveaways to promote their business and services. And if they are giving away money for free, I mean making a prediction and possibly winning the reward doesn't cost you anything but for you to be able to get that benefit, they would at least want you to be a member of their platform. Why would one casino give you free money that you can possibly use on another casino? This is the reason why they pay the rewards as credit or balance on their on-platform instead of sending it directly to your on-chain address.

And as far as I know, you don't have any obligations if you win such a contest or giveaway which means that you can directly withdraw the amount if you want. So I don't see any problem with that. 

Congratulation @LDL brother, your 666 merit looks really beautiful  

Every day a "new" newbie comes to that section and makes a thread with tempting offers.

Is the question about moderation or about DT negative tags/flags? Scams are not moderated, unless the poster breaks some rules.

There are workarounds to avoid these people. Not trusting everyone we read in the internet and having to use an escrow for every deal might solve some of the cases.

It is way safer to use a proper exchange. But that has its own pros and cons.

This application was done back in 2021 year end and is still pending approval.

Bugs me, is the addition of merit sources going to be none for the future unless the traffic in the forum increases again? I hope this is not the case because my local board is suffering from the lack of merits and I am running dry to help them out.

Full support from my side though.
