In fact there are lots of similar threads with no other purpose than increase post count, but this is just a natural consequence of signature campaigns.
Indeed. The situation that I'm trying to improve was caused by them. There are
on-going discussions (both public and private) on how to tackle this problem on a global level.
Personally, i care less-not my thread, yet I don't see ANY consistency and I SPECULATE that there ain't one.
You have to keep a few things in mind. As Blitz had been quite inactive for a while, the situation in the Speculation sub-forum has degraded severely to the point where the majority of the posts (by signature spammers) contain wording similar to this:
I think it will reach X in Y time
and
I think it won't reach X in Y time, but will be slower.
There posts are worthless (mostly one liners and/or used to reach a minimum criteria depending on the campaign) and used for post-padding. Additionally, there's a severe lack of reports regarding these (not the posts specifically, but rather the threads themselves. Usually, it is threads that have obviously become a spam-fest (e.g. a huge amount of pages of no value) that are prioritized in a clean up. Also, please don't forget that playing whack-a-mole with NLC is part of my daily routine here as well. I'm open to suggestions and would appreciate any input regarding this matter.
