Although there is no such rule that restricts user from posting in only one thread,its quite obvious that the account itself is either activity hunting or genuinely claiming the giveaways.Which in OP's case,it's both I believe!Not sure if that's a paid signature or he is even getting paid for those G & R posts.If you check out the previous posts over 5-9 pages,you can see him posting in other services or altcoin sections.Definitely not upto the standards!

If a topic serves a purpose , then every on-topic reply to it should also be considered valid, imo. G&R should be no different.
I don't see why you are stressed out just because he claims daily giveaway - I don't see any rule breaking here , only that a guy is scraping dust..

Pitches and forks, and burn them alive ?!

Someone may argue that you just made two threads here in meta that could have been resolved by simple "report to moderator" button.

Did you read the OP where he is claiming the giveaway ?

Also if you think this promotion giveaway is good then come back daily and post on this thread for an additional 0.05 mBTC to your account.

He is doing exactly what is offered by OP... What's wrong with that ?

It doesn't count as spamming as he's posting in the Games section in a thread where you can claim over and over again (Even if it would have been against the giveaway rules, it's not against the rules of the forum. However, it could earn him a negative trust). I post in the Lottery thread of Rollin where again it's what we need to do but since this user is only posting in one thread, it looks he's genuine (as he doesn't post frequently and that's the reason he's joined the forum).

However, my one post was removed from the altcoins section where I had a similar post to this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1565340.msg15845295#msg15845295 It was deleted but I had posted on topic and had to mention my username to join the giveaway. Some rules don't make sense when posts on-topic are also deleted.

well this is not good move from this user but personally i don't care since he isn't harming anyone including 777

negative trust is useless, he can create another account..
just forget about it or inform 777 admin

I'm pretty sure you didn't even read the thread before replying..
Why the hell would you want to "inform 777 admin" ? - To tell him people are doing exactly like he instructed them to ?! You have his quote right there, and still you talk nonsense.

i read it and i gave my point of view!
if the attitude of a user is annoying another one he had simply to report it to the admin of bitcointalk or the service in question...and yeah 777 will not care since they asked for it

The last time that I've checked (I've encountered a similar case the other day), we didn't allow this. I do wonder how many alt accounts someone like this has? It seems time to also add some regulations for this section (e.g. minimum participation rank). Anyhow, I have notified someone regarding the case.

Do u mind explaining your logic on the case ?

- It doesn't violate forum rules
- It does exactly as OP instructed
- It isn't spam

If person is claiming with more alt-accounts, that's another thing, but an individual account claiming daily reward is exactly by the rules afaik.
Mods for the section are Cyrus and hilariousandco , it would be best to to ask them on the matter, but to me it's laughable.

Well, IMHO it is spam, in addition to the input of two moderators the other day. I do recall some discussions revolving this in the past as well, but let's see.

- It isn't spam

I think you may want to refine your definition of spam. We are talking about 54 identical posts here (with minor variations).

Correct, that's who I notified.

[mishra1994]

I dont think he can be given negative trust or blocked from this forum just for that.I dont think there is any kind of rule about it.He is a newbie i think i didnt know how it works may be thats why ? But yes his rank will improve just posting like this.
One thing can be done is that all his this type of posts must be deleted so that his post count and rank doesnt get improve just posting same thing again and again.

Should we notify the rest of 2415 pages of replies that their posts are considered as spam ?

Are you saying we should force people into posting in other places, and not just where they want to post ?

Honestly, Lauda, i believe that having that "staff" mark on your profile has gotten to your head a bit too much.  To the point of you telling people where they should post..

[Lauda]

You asked me for my opinion. You disagree with it and now my "staff mark" got to my head? I have even asked another moderator about this specific user before responding here and they agree with me. As said, I have notified a global moderator about it as they handle such cases.
Update: I have provided the reasoning behind the statement. Re-read my posts.

I asked for logic behind your stance, and created a conclusion based on your reply. (Your reasoning was not based on logic or any set of rules,hence, i was left with only one explanation)
I'm still entitled to an opinion, if i'm not mistaken.

That 777 thread is mostly just used by account farmers not to mention I don't believe it even pays out any more and hasn't for months, but even if it does it's only occasionally and people do not get paid for every post that they have made but they don't care because they still get paid from their campaigns or can rank up their accounts easily. I've contacted Lightlord several times about it but got no response.

That's one of the problems that are indirectly caused by this. Essentially, one could take up e.g. 10 accounts and post only in these giveaways daily until they farm them all up. Technically, they could argue that what they're doing is "legit" even though the idea behind it is account farming and spamming in signature campaigns in the future. I guess it may be time to introduce some sort of pruning (especially for daily threads). E.g. delete all entries older than 7 days (this should prevent post padding without preventing certain ranks from entering). Are there any potential cons to this idea?

[Daisy14]

I don't understand what you mean by post padding - how does an increase in someone's number of posts affect the ranking of someone else?
