Stake.com (SteveStake) is encouraging spam.

[vit05]

What I had noticed is Stake.com - A signature campaign for everyone! Earn up to 0.1 BTC weekly don't even have a public spreadhseet of accepted participants and I think they were maintaining that in their telegram or discord channel so is it okay to deal with outside of the forum about the accepted participants?

They have this sheet from the other campaign. It is possible to see that  Caladonian made 109 posts and received 0.0184BTC.

Stake has also some topics on Local Boards. Stake.com Muita Diversão e Lucros em Um Só Lugar!
Primedice - Nº 1 Site de Apostas com BTC! 21 bilhões de Bets, 112+ BTC Jackpot!

@Adriano, who is the moderator of the Portuguese section, have alerted them that this kind of marketing was not so effective.It is just one person posting alone, there isn't any conversation or anything.

it's getting unreal if you usually visit the gambling section , I made a post in sportsbet thread about getting limited and waiting for their support to answer me I got 5 replies with stake signatures and all of them just making guesses about the problem

it looks like they are racing to make posts in the gambling section , even stake thread is full of spam now with their participants talking about V2 without even giving any valid info about what's coming with V2
I usually check the thread just to see if Stake is announcing the launch of the sportsbook but all I find is spam

[marlboroza]

Primedice's thread has turned into wall observer thread.
Wherever I click I see Stake. This reminds me of "good old" yobit signature days and 20 posts/day  
Can someone tell me what does this mean:

If you are choosing between the waves and ethereum classic. You will better to choose waves remember ethereum is different to ethereum classic.so for me waves coin is the better to choose compared to ETC that is my opinion and I think it is right base to my research.

I'll give 2 merits to first member (without Stake's signature  ) who deciphers this.

The choice between Waves and Ethereum Classic boils down to this:

Ethereum is different to Ethereum Classic.
Therefore, Waves is the superior choice.

We have

Code:

foo(firstCoin, secondCoin) {
    if (firstCoin != "Ethereum") return secondCoin;
}

foo("Ethereum Classic", "Waves")

He exactly want to mean that if someone want to choose between waves and ETC then he should choose waves. ETC is not Ethereum means, ETC is a fork of Ethereum. And I am agree with his statement as well. I am not sure if you know that ETC developers was stopped work on last December due to financial problems. So we can say dev team isn't strong of ETC, although ETC team changed developers. But this kind of announcement would break investors trust. So over all we can say waves is better then ETC. And for clear confusion, ETC is not ETH. Both platform is different.

If yes then we may going to hear more stories like below when they are started spamming

Thank you very much, but the truth is that I have not been selected yet, and I have the signature and the Avatar because I am an aspiring participant, and well I like the avatar, but check my publications, I think I have been contributing what little I know.

If a campaign don't have any spreadsheet at public,when the participants found spamming they can easily defend that they kicked out that person or even didn't accept them.

I think we need to force the campaign manager to provide a public spreadsheet.

Maybe this is what he meant.

3 reasons for which we're observing spam like this.
1. 0.001 BTC bonus for posting in Gambling.
2. 2x merit points in Gambling section.
3. The big one- Competition on first page replies. There is a big competition based on first page reply for which users are replying instantly after a thread being posted.

It means Campaign Manager isn't professional

here another thread with 9 comments so far , literally all of them with stake signatures
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5111649.0

it's funny how they are discussing one of the most popular gambling sites in the market (Betonline) and most of them don't even know that site but yet they are giving their opinions (and guesses )  about it

it explains a lot how most of stake participants are discussing gambling stuffs without even having experience just because there is a bonus for the gambling section

Even the boards that don't display signatures are not safe due to that ultra-annoying avatar.  I'm glad theymos is going to end the insanity. Actually, I don't mind most of the animated avatars, but something about stake.com really hurts my eyes.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

We had a very long lull there without many bitcoin-paying signature campaigns, and now this one pops up with apparently no quality control, and BAM....we're back to the days of Yobit and Secondstrade.  Crazy how one campaign can lead to so much forum pollution, but there you have it.

We talked about having some sort of minimum standards for campaign managers, but I think we got lulled into thinking we actually started to improve without any restrictions on campaigns--sadly I don't think that's the case.  Imagine if there were multiple campaigns like this running simultaneously.  You know damn well every spammer in the world would have their whole families engaged in writing shitposts.  Just like the bad old days (which weren't even that long ago).

Somehow we did manage to get a thread here in reputation without much stake posts

[Lucius]

~snip!

They (stake.com) are doing what they are allowed to do, and except this thread and few post in their signature threads I do not see that even one DT member marked manager account with red tag for as title say encouraging spam.

YoBit and BitMixer signature campaign are both running with bot, because of that it was not possible to control spam. But then Lauda is took over BitMixer and hilariousandco YoBit (if memory serves me good), and both problems were quickly and efficiently solved.

There is always a way to fix the bad things, but there is not always enough willingness to do that.

DT shouldn't tag accounts accounts for things that should be handled by Mods. That's not only spam but also plagiarism, merit abuse and ban evasion, and from what I've seen, most DT members don't tag this anymore.

Does 'Gambling discussion' count towards their bonus?

If so, I found a topic that has two consecutive pages with zero posts from stake signature related accounts.
