Kyle91 AKA How to increase your ignore list

[jackjack]

Isn't there some kind of minimum quality one's posts must reach?
Kyle91 already made 150+ posts full of non-sense/useless sentences, always only 1 sentence per post btw

I didn't find it really annoying at the beginning but I'm seeing him on more and more threads

Why does this bother you?

Why does this bother you?

Short, low quality posts are indications of a scammer.

It also bothers me when scammers try and integrate into my community.

I asked a simple question and would like a simple answer:

Isn't there some kind of minimum quality one's posts must reach?

Then I provided an exemple
That's all I did

[whiskers75]

I kinda agree here.

Side note: why isn't the owner of the Bitcointalk++ script -1'ing Kyle? xD

It would be too easy to find my list!

Doesn't that mean your password as well..?

This is becoming an off-topic, feel free to spam the BT++ thread for questions like that
But no, the hash on the list page is obviously not the corresponding password

because you're spamming up the forum with useless posts.

[Kyle91]

Let's quote myself...

150+ posts full of non-sense/useless sentences

The problem is not the size, it's that you say nothing worthwhile

[favdesu]

I don't see the problem here, that's when the ignore function comes into play

[jackjack]

This guy literally adds no value to the forum and looks suspicious
Still I didn't call for a ban, I just asked if such worthlessness was authorized here

I'd say yes. there are certain hero members spouting nonsense all day and nothing happened to them yet

[b!z]

This guy is constantly posting 1-3 word posts that are usually off-topic. Please do something about him. Thanks.

We should create a list of "One Sentence or less" people who post useless comments to increase their post count.  Like mentioned above, these users contribute nothing but clutter on the forum.

2450+ posts full of non-sense/useless sentences
User LaudaM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=101872  Has over nearly 2500 one line posts.

I dont know whether to laugh or cry!
You worry about his "low quality post count" and that he might look suspicious?

And this: "Still I didn't call for a ban, I just asked if such worthlessness was authorized here" .....

Like WTF.. with all the known spammers, scammers, suckpuppets etc. you worry about this guy?!

And a staff member responding with: "because you're spamming up the forum with useless posts" "quit strawmaning. answer the damn question."

Well then start moderating!

Allow me to post from another thread:

So you describe a problem, ask for help on solutions...

and the resulting 11 pages that follow are the same problems you describe: vendor hate, people calling people whatever, people talking off topic, with some genuinely trying to address the OP's issue, and etc.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or condescending or any of that, just an honest question:  If you really wanted to change this, why don't you just "moderate"?  you know, like your title says.  Use your common sense/best discretion.  If someone starts bashing BFL in the KNC thread, tell them to stay on topic.  If someone calls someone a whatever tell them to keep it civil.  If Josh calls his customers a moron cuz they want their money back for an undelivered product, tell him to act professional.  If people refuse, just ban them for a bit?  I don't know...

Or don't.  It's up to you.  Just that most of the other forums I goto, this is what the "moderator" tends to do.


I love this forum.

Don't get me wrong, if I were the admin I'd ban his ass.
The point is I know that it's not how the moderation works here, so I just tried to make mods aware of this to have their opinion of this kind of things.

By the way, I report spammers and scammers. Not sockpuppets as they are officially authorized.

there are certain hero members spouting nonsense all day and nothing happened to them yet

And I don't think it's a good thing
Trolling, off-topic posting and one-sentence long posts could be tolerated IMO. But if every single post is in any of those three categories then why keeping the guy?
