My thanks to all who have been helping with reports

[yahoo62278]

I would like to say Thank You to all the users who took the time to make reports on abusers in the crypotalk campaign without really being asked. I know some of you reported users that I had already banned but the point is at least you took some of your time to try and help out. Others didn't make reports but did some data scraping that helped out a bit.

I have went through all my Pms and through the messages in the banned participants thread and compiled a list of all the good reports that were sent to me. This only includes users that were banned. I am only giving out a max of 5 stakes to any 1 user. Sorry guys, some of you had more then 5 reports but take satisfaction in knowing you helped get rid of some spammers and made some free money you didn't know about.

I added suchmoon and LoyceV to the thread for their help on getting some stats on users. Thank you 2, it did help a lot. I don't know if I will continue this in the next month or not. I have a pretty good grip on things but I will not say no thank you to any help that is offered. Never know if I will do this again. I'm just letting everyone know not to expect it just because you got something this time.

Ok so each user below sent reports via this thread or in PM (minus suchmoon and LoyceV). The number beside your name is how many good reports you sent. Each number is worth .0012btc. Everyone on this list needs to send me their btc address. Once I collect all the addresses I will start sending payments. Expect a 24-72 hour delay guys. Not everyone will see this thread in 5 minutes.

I will post a spreadsheet for everyone so that you can all see how close it is to you being paid.

Again a really big THANK YOU to all who have been putting forth some effort and helping combat the spammers. If I missed anyone it's likely because your report wasn't good or I had already banned a particular user. That doesn't mean I do not appreciate your reports as well. Great job everyone!!

[Deathwing]

Thank you for your efforts to keep Bitcointalk clean, the first week of the signature campaign, I have to admit, was really hectic. At one point I saw about 10 posts a minute even at a time where user activity should be below average. Although everyone here on the list reported potential abusers to you, it was thanks to your efforts that they realised they were just wasting their time and actually stopped.

[suchmoon]

Class act, sir Y

Could you please send my 3 stakes as bonuses to the three top reporters who exceed the limit of 5? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the reward but I'd like to add a little extra to the users who did the hard work of finding the offenders.

Thank you both. I wish the reward could be more but there are so many users who helped. I hope everyone can see how helpful some of the users of the community are when not motivated by money. Every one of these people lent a helping hand, along with others who didn't send reports but helped answer users in multiple threads regarding the campaign.

I really appreciate the way everyone pitched in and gave the forum some of their time.

Right back at ya!  Thanks for tackling the job, I'm sure it wasn't fun.  The forum would have turned into a spamfest if someone hadn't stepped in, and there isn't any one who could have done a better job.  I really didn't expect a reward, it's much appreciated.  Helping you keep the forum free of spam was enough of a reward in itself and I'll continue to do so.

I'd like to add a little extra to the users who did the hard work of finding the offenders.

Speaking of class act; the kettle calling the pot black.

[LoyceV]

Thanks for cleaning up the campaign, I've noticed there are also good users in the campaign now, which is a win for the forum.
And thanks for the stakes! To make it more special, can you choose one out of two addys here? (don't split it up into two halves, the other one will get their chance)

I will not say no thank you to any help that is offered.

I might have something: can you have a look at http://loyce.club/sigcamp/chipmixer/ ?
I was thinking of offering this as a service to signature campaigns (either companies or managers). As a demonstration, it currently uses data from just over a week on all ChipMixer signature participants (it doesn't get automated updates yet). A real version would get automated updates (depening on the page it will vary from several times per hour to several times per day).

All I'd need is a list of userIDs in a campaign (and regular updates), and I scrape (almost) all posts within seconds of being posted (I don't check the posts for being edited after that).
This can give a quick overview of the currently active users and topics, and it instantly highlights the most active users.
If desired, I could also exclude certain boards or topics that are excluded from a campaign.

[pandukelana2712]

Thank you yahoo

I never expect I'm rewarded while reporting, I just try to contribute to removing/report spam post.
But if you think I deserved because of that thing, please send it to the next generations of LoyceV.
I'm feeling better seeing next Bitcoin forums contributor get the special gift. And they're deserved accepting these reward.

[anu1908]

thanks for your generosity. please donate the funds that were allocated to me for this charity program: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.0.

thanks.

I'll have a look within the next day or so. This campaign eats my time up.

Thank you very much. Its more than just the money. This seems like a award that has been given to me. 

I added suchmoon and LoyceV to the thread for their help on getting some stats on users. Thank you 2, it did help a lot. I don't know if I will continue this in the next month or not.

Maybe in the long term, you people can create a fund for this purpose and keep this a long term rewards for all the campaigns that you manage.

[TheBeardedBaby]

Haha, this is fun for sure and very good idea, great work guys.
In the future, if you need help with a campaign you can just post the list of participants or the link to the spreadsheet in The SpamBusters' club, we'll keep an eye on the posters I hope we can be in service.

[yahoo62278]

Maybe in the long term, you people can create a fund for this purpose and keep this a long term rewards for all the campaigns that you manage.

Unfortunately campaigns do not pay as much as people think, so making a fund for spambusters or reporters is not really feasible. I wanted to do this because this is a large campaign and it really touched me how many users of the forum were willing to help with it.

It's not about the money, it's more about how I seen something very positive from the community. I see a lot of negative around here and this was a bright spot to me.

The club is working mostly on the volunteer's principle, from time to time we get some donations in form of physical coins  raffled between the participants but it is designed to fight the spam and get nothing in return, only better report count at the end.

[roycilik]

Much appreciated to Mr.Y
I intend to donate my reward to "The SpamBusters' club" as addition reward to their raffle program.
I hope that the people who contribute on there will be more excited.

[LoyceV]

On behalf of my little girl: thanks

My initial thought: that would be a good use of forum funds. But on second thought: forum funds are used for this already through Mods.
The best reward though, is a cleaner forum. Thanks to the Merit system, spammers will run out of accounts eventually.

[Welsh]

Yeah, keeping the forum clean is enough for me I don't need a reward. Obviously, appreciate the sentiment here, but either add it to someone else's name on this list that you think is deserving or add it onto a constructive user within the campaign to further encourage them to make effort with their posts. Another alternative would be to add it to the art contest winner, whatever you wish to do.

[The Cryptovator]

Thanks for appreciation, I really didn't expect that my name will be on the list (just forgot about report). Usually I do not bother report to any manager without obvious case. Since you are trying your best to keep this forum spam free so that was just my little effort to help you. Perhaps this way we might reduce some spam from forum. To be honest no one expected about reward, but they did a good job. I appreciate them from my heart and I will encourage everyone to always help campaign managers by reporting spammer, no matter reward and we can't expect really.

We made thousands report to moderators without rewards, so let's report to managers same like report to moderators. Your one good report is worth many bad reports. But it doesn't mean you should report someone if you don't like to see anyone in the campaign.

Please distribute my award to who have made maximum good report or you might average among them. Thanks for tips.

[Steamtyme]

Wow. Many thanks Yahoo I was more than glad to just lend a hand. Here is an address to send my portion - bc1q4yrpya2fxvqad6pz0xwqjhchg0mr9pzu7plp2q
This is going towards the video project I have on the go. Like I said before whenever I have time and someone needs a hand I'm all ears.

Very unexpected but classy move

[actmyname]

Give it to someone who needs it more: 1Ross5Np5doy4ajF9iGXzgKaC2Q3PwwxvI still haven't sent a full list of the CryptoTalk users that I reported, so I will try to check when I have the time.
