Amph, the useless user!

[mashcom]

i started to report a lot of his insubstantial and useless posts (don't add anything of useful to the conversation). the moderators should take an action against this type of users the most spammer is Amph (he makes 250-300 posts per week and the majority are really insubstantial or useless)

Profile link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=99297

Bye.

[Astargath]

Holy crap, he does have a lot of posts but if you reported most of them and he is not banned its because mods didnt think his posts were insubstantial and they probably arent if he is here after 13k posts.

After looking at your posts, you shouldnt be complaining about that when most of them are useless aswell.

[Lauda]

OP how many posts have you reported and what is your accuracy? I would like to know if the moderators have been responding to these reports.
I'm in no position to judge, however I could objectively put some facts here.

- the user has made almost 30 posts already; judging from his posting activity per time, his timezone is close to that of the forum. 30 posts before noon.
- the posts are usually 2 or 3 liners
- posting is done in short bursts of posts (they're within minutes of each other)

I'm going to let someone else be the judge of the quality though. However, keep in mind that this does not have to mean anything.

[Muhammed Zakir]

He does reply to topics to get payment but most times, he is contributing to topics. Most of his posts aren't spam but quality is somewhat low because he is posting to get more money which obviously decreases quality of posts.

i am not paid to post here this is the BIG difference.

if i am not wrong [You have reported 20 posts with 100% accuracy]

- posting is done in short bursts of posts (they're within minutes of each other)

this is an important signal to determine if someone spam. also the other facts are important, 2 or 3 lines and the quantity of posts that he makes every holy day.

there is no quality in his posts. he is posting only to get btc from the signature campaign (bit-x) he is replying to every *** thread with zero quality.

[GhanaGamboy]

In my timezone he has posted 29 times in 4 hours and 30 minutes. The posting maniac with such a short time between posts he can't be being that constructive. I am not going to go threw them all to see but am sure admin/mods have and they see no problem. If you see the bitcointalk twitter he was posting on there and could not wait to get back to posting lol I don't want to call out people but there are a few in that campaign that do the same.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Hey man there's more to life than tracking a fellow poster on here & checking his post quality.
I've never even spoken to the poster in question but seriously who cares, why do you give a damn?
Like a poster said above if he's made 13,000 posts & not been banned the chances are he's not going to be banned any time soon.
If he annoys you with crappy posts just stick him on ignore & then you won't have to read his rubbish any more bro.
Relax man, don't let this kind of stuff ruin your day.

That 20 includes good, unhandled and bad reports. You can't tell all of your reports are handled and is good by looking at it.

I wouldn't say all of his posts are zero quality but most of them are indeed low quality.

Well i hate it when people say that thing, that you cant be constructive if you post a lot, why not? If you have something to say you can be constructive in all your posts, specially if you are replying to something that you have good knowledge of, like altcoins and mining in this case, seems.

Well the length of the posts is also quite important and the timing. His posts are very short/decent(if we factor in a great number of memebrs), as I've had single posts which would equal to 20 of his (length wise). However, there are people making long posts that are full of nonsense as well.

this is an important signal to determine if someone spam. also the other facts are important, 2 or 3 lines and the quantity of posts that he makes every holy day.

However, this shouldn't be the only factor when considering this. We also have to look if he's participating in a handful of discussions or posting everywhere. This is what makes the difference.
You've stated that you've reported 20 posts with 100% accuracy; are all of these posts from Amph?

All in all, this should be looked to the very detail and from different aspects to come to a valid conclusion.

Because you can not. To actually be constructive and make a longer post takes time. You might not understand why because you aren't doing it. Sometimes before replying to someone I tend to read 20-30 minutes (at least) of material online to verify information. If you factor in proper research, data gathering and verifying, making constructive posts in a short period of time is impossible.

This is exactly the kind of attitude that is ruining the experience on the forum and on the internet overall. We should not let people post nonsense, especially not for the wrong reasons. Someone else will read that nonsense and be misinformed, and it will keep spreading.


This is how a users post history should look like: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=41048;sa=showPosts;start=0


Update: Significant corrections; more to come.

You might hate it but do you think I care? The thing is if I go from posting here to another thread and post on there within 2minutes do you think I have time to read threw the OP then make my 'constructive' post within the couple of minutes? lol. Get real dude you need at least 5-10minutes between most posts to add something to the discussion. So there is your reason.

i didn't say all my reports are good i should wait 24 hours and see if all them will be handled. correct?

95% from Amph and 5% from other users. however IMHO he doesn't add anything of useful in the majority of his posts and the rapidity between his messages is a strong signal of spam and lack of ken.

[OrangeSeller]

I think amph is too busy posting that he didn't realize this thread?

[mashcom]

I think amph is too busy posting that he didn't realize this thread?

i dunno know. another example of his lack of ken ;

what mechanisms should here have to prevent criminal actions?

reply from Amph

trade with only trusted members

use always escrow

use common sense

don't trade with guy that want to use paypal/skrill/other paypal clone

try to divide your amount in small fraction when dealing with someone, in the worst case you will lose a tiny portion

don't download shitty stuff from random newbie user


i think there are more....

he can't even understand the question and he is free to post, i am disappointed.

[erikalui]

Does he make 250-300 posts per week? That's really too much.

I have seen few of his posts and he does have quite a good knowledge about mining and he does contribute his opinion while posting. If not all, I see quite many posts are useful but they may appear spammy as the sentences are short and posted within a short span of time. He doesn't usually capitalize the first letter while writing a sentence.

Judging by his 35 posts in 6 and a bit hours, if he does this everyday then easily he will reach 50 a day x 7 = 350   Must get paid a nice amount. Good luck to him he is doing something right not to be banned. People should just leave him alone he is having fun OP I am certain the admin have gone threw his posts and they don't believe he is a useless poster.

yes he is making 250-300 posts per week, i came to this conclusion with the information on the signature campaign website


0.2054  btc / 0.0013 btc per post  =  158  posts  (forum attack's week so he posted only few posts)
0.3692  btc /      "           "          =  284 posts
0.3484  btc /      "           "          =  268 posts

continuous on http://bitsig.website/beta/   this week 289 posts and he will be paid 0.3757 bitcoin

I suggest you to lock this thread already, there is no point in discussing this, do you really think he is posting crap for 13k posts and he is not banned? Obviously not, he must have been doing something right, you said you reported his posts, well he is still not banned, there is no point in trying to ban an user just because you dont like him. Mods seem not to agree with your view so thats the final word.

no, it is useful discuss about spam and useless post of who is wearing a sig advertisement. 13k posts of crap? the majority of this post are useless and don't add anything to the discussion (only repetition and 1-2 lines)


do you think if he will remove the sig advertisement he will post 40 posts per day?

No i dont think so, he would most likely not post 40 posts per day BUT as long as it is accepted by the mods, what can we do? When we talk about constructive posts, we are subjective, there is no official rule of what a constructive post is. Its not illegal to post 40 posts per day and as i said mods didnt ban him yet. Maybe we should wait for a mod to say something.
