Although your bot would have a ton of options like you listed a few posts ago, there are a couple big problems that I would see using a bot like this:

  • A user may make a post that meets the requirements of a post to be counted, but the post might be completely off-topic - there would be no way to police this
  • The user makes a copy/paste post with content from an external website - this is a bannable offence on Bitcointalk, and I suspect it would be tough to implement a feature that checks for this
if somebody posts such things on the forum, it will be reported and a mod will remove the post and if it continues the user will get banned. other than that even if a human is checking the posts not a bot, he has to go through the topic and after reading it decide if the post is relevant, duplicate, useful,... which nobody will ever do that since it requires massive amount of free time spent on just going through each user's posts.
Wrong, I manage the Rollin.io signature campaign and manually review each post made by each user. When a human is checking out posts it isn't tough to find a copy/paste post, or a completely off-topic post. For most of them I just need to take a peek at the thread's title, and if the post doesn't relate to it at all I can double check the context of it, and confirm that it's off topic. It doesn't take a huge amount of time to check posts either, probably 20 minutes a day or so.
