[Yet another Yobit topic because I'm a hypocrite] Yobit shitposting participants

Not all of those participants posts 20 a day.

I realise that, which is why I said ban the spammers, not ban them all.

I gotta admit the campaign pays well.

Agreed, which is why it rapidly attracted so many spammers. As far as I've seen though, and please CMIIW, there have been no confirmed payments for this campaign yet? As I mentioned, by not having a list of participants they have given themselves an easy "get out clause" - in a week or two they can simply state that these users were never accepted in the first place, and then they don't have to pay.

You call people a shitposter because their mother tongue isn't in English, no one doesn't have to speak perfect English.

I bet if I joined a campaign that only paid for posts in the Russian section, I'd get mocked and ridiculed for it--and I'd deserve it.  People who can't make themselves understood and who have nothing to say shouldn't be posting in the English section. 

Many people who don't have enough incomes can earn BTC thanks to bounty campaigns.

Many people don't give a shit about this fact.  If the forum suffers because of it, the parasite is basically killing the host.

1 in 4 is utterly ridiculous.

That's a big WOW for me, too.  On the other hand, given Yobit's standards I'm not shocked that it happened and happened so quickly.  It is a bit jarring to see so much spam after a respite period the merit system provided. 

I have the Bitcoin/Altcoin Discussion sections on ignore, and that helps.  The Yobit spam brigade has infiltrated Economics, though.  That's a pain in the ass, especially when I'm looking for posts to merit.

Of course you would, you'd be a prime shitposter unless you were doing it primarily to improve your language skills which 0% of these users are doing. Whether English is your native language or not is completely irrelevant to whether you are a shitposter or not.

[gentlemand]

129 users who were wearing a yobit signature and had at least 1 good report against them in the last 14 days are banned for 14 days. All yobit signatures are wiped. Signatures containing "yobit.net" are banned for 60 days.

Some people were talking about neg-trusting spammers for spamming. This is not appropriate; report the posts, and if that doesn't seem to be working well, come to Meta with specific examples and suggestions.

Well, that ended as quickly as it escalated. IF they'd gone about it in a sensible manner from the start I'm sure it could've been a decent enough campaign. Let that be a lesson to all.

Just a curiosity question but what will you do with the list?

You've literally quoted the answer to your question:

LoL, I meant what will you do with archived data? Any future use or what?

Maybe, I don't know yet. It might come in handy later.

LOL, I thought I broke the site when I started seeing the number of Yobit signatures going down to zero... hallelujah

Sure, give me a few minutes.

Edit: PM sent. Includes users that had "1450 COINS" in their signature at any time, even if they removed it later. May not include users who never posted with the signature.

Haha. Theymos is more effective than Thanos! Thanos erased half the universe, Theymos wiped whole.

Locking this before it becomes a shitposting magnet. Huge thanks to all who reported the avalanche of spam, I bet you made a difference and affected theymos' swift action.
