Thanks artmaker
That said, I still can't agree with your approach. Indeed, as a campaign manager you decide which threads should be considered "Spam Megathreads", but unless you are a representative of the company behind a signature campaign, this may not be what they might really want after all.
It's okay not to agree with me, I'm totally fine with that
If someone wants to pay people to spam the forum, I'm not the guy to go to. The
Signature Campaign Guidelines require campaign managers to fight spam, and that's what I do.
And your inferences that these threads are avoided by everyone are mostly unfounded.
They're not avoided, they're used for massive spam. But the signature spammers who post there, are not the ones you want to advertise to, they're mainly poor people from third world countries who won't turn into paying customers.
For example, there is a thread about Gold vs Bitcoin (or something to that tune), which has over 400 pages (I guess it should be well off the charts as a spam thread to you). I have been called a spammer myself for posting in this thread specifically, but I'm not the only one who is posting and conversing there in a constructive way.
Bitcoin or gold? has 486 pages. You can't have a serious discussion in 486 pages, it's a mix of Newbies posting oneliners to level up, and higher level accounts making long enough posts to look "constructive" for their signature campaign.
If you want to have a serious thread about Gold vs Bitcoin, why don't you create a self-moderated thread, and delete all unsubstantial posts?
So I can't say that it is full of spam or consists only of spam, and I think you have no ground to call it a spam thread either (if that is your intention)
Let me put it this way: many posters are already on my ignore list. A moderator moved most of the threads I mentioned here to the trash can, which proves me right.
Edit: let me end this right here: my campaign thread is not the place to discuss whether or not one specific thread is a spam thread.Post
archived and deleted.
