My thanks to all who have been helping with reports

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I had no idea I should have been reporting shitposters to Yahoo62278--I've made a few reports to the moderators instead, and I've found quite a few members who probably shouldn't be getting paid to post.

I'm glad the members on the list have been doing what they've been doing, but I'd also like to give props to Yahoo62278.  Because of his management of the cryptotalk campaign, the level of spamming is nowhere near what it was when Yobit launched their last campaign with no active management.  It really is a remarkable difference.

Keep it up, guys.  There are plenty more where those shitposters came from, and I'm assuming that new members are still able to join the campaign?  It's an ongoing battle, but it looks like you/we are winning it so far.  Fortunately most of the worst of the worst are posting in spam sections that I don't visit.  Heh heh.

Edit:

There's still time to send those names to Yahoo.

Nah, I'm not looking for a reward and I don't have the energy to search post histories and all that right now.  It's so much easier just to report a shitpost to the mods and hope they deal with it.  And yeah, I've no doubt that there will be more members getting banned from the campaign.  Since there's no selection process, Yahoo62278 has to deal with these knuckleheads after the fact.  I'd pull my hair out.

I reported users who weren't quite breaking forum rules or only the odd one or two of their posts were to be deleted. However, if their general post history was of low quality I sent them to Yahoo to deal with it. There's still time to send those names to Yahoo. I'm sure there will be many more users removed from the campaign in the coming weeks.

yeah I didn't know either we were supposed to report directly to yahoo62278 regarding Cryptotalk spam, I reported several posts mostly on the local forum that were completely off topic, obviously written to increase Cryptotalk post count, and I believe all of them got deleted (but not as a consequence of a direct report to yahoo)...

also as a p.s.: now there are people going around using "reporting to campaign manager" as a retaliatory threat when they lose arguments on the forum, so as a preemptive caution please be careful yahoo62278, there might be some completely false reports coming in as well in the upcoming days...

This happens both in forum moderation, and signature campaign management. Although, I don't think its an issue as Yahoo seems to have a good head on their shoulders so I'm confident they can determine when this is happening.

That's fair enough. If I handle the reports, and I think its worth messaging a campaign manager then I likely will do so.

Thanks a lot Y, classy move indeed.

I didn´t expect that and I already live a quite wealthy life. Thus would like to further support cabalism13 and his initiative Bitcointalk Charity Program - Give Hope To Everyone $1 Is A Big Thing For Them

I also just spent some time researching and used Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List Mk III (2019 Q3) for reporting.

Would be good to know a well working system to report most efficiently. "Just" hit the report-button or better send a PM to the CampaignManager (wouldn´t that be to many?).

So you @Welsh do collect reported posts by Cryptotalk-participants and send those further? That sounds kinda efficient to me.

PMing shouldn't be too excessive. Although, you might want to get permission from the campaign managers themselves whether they would like to opt in to reporting users.

Any posts I notice that are made by signature campaign participants I will consider contacting the campaign manager if most of theirs posts are against the signature campaigns guidelines. Unfortunately, I don't know all of them so usually I only detect spam related ones or generic responses which have been repeated a thousand times.

Sometimes these posts won't need to be deleted as per forum guidelines, but might still be infringing the signature campaign guidelines. I don't want users using the report to moderator button to report users for breaking signature campaign rules. It should only be used for users breaking forum guidelines.

Alright, thanks for elaborating your perspective to it and indeed, the last part does make sense this way. Will consider PMing every here and there whenever there are a handful cases that might be interesting to be review by the/a campaign-manager.

I would like to say thank you Yahoo for appreciating our reports.
Just like the others, I as well didn't expect this reward.
Keep up the good job!

By the way here's my Btc addy :

P.s I sent you a message from the other day with my btc address, but as I look at the spreadsheet, my address isn't inputted yet. So, I might post it here as well for your visibility. Once again, Thank you.

[yahoo62278]

Everyone who has message or posted in this thread so far has had their option added to the sheet. I still have about 50% of the users yet to message or post, I will wait another 10-12 hours for submissions and then start pmming users to speed up the process.

and then start pmming users to speed up the process.

Be careful not to get banned for this

Kudos to you Yahoo for this surprising initiative.

TYVM for this gift.

Thanks for this unexpected initiative. You are very generous 

Previously, all the scammers I caught talking about personal dislike, now they will say that I caught them for money 

[boltz]

I'm so glad that community did their job and helped Yahoo. Congrats to those who were listed by Yahoo and those who were banned,I hope you did learn something from this <3. Peace and love!

Thanks again Yahoo, what a nice surprise!

You didn't know this was going to pay off like that. Unexpected gains don't count.

This is very motivating. I wish all campaign managers were doing it. On the other hand other managers aren't facing such a big wave of spam in their campaigns.
This has to be the biggest campaign on Bitcointalk so far. If it doesn't have the largest number of posters which I think it does then it at least wins with the most banned users.

What a pleasant surprise!

Thanks Yahoo.

[akamit]

I highly appreciated the reward and it's a huge surprise for the community as well which is never done before as far I know.

Bitcointalk is like a second home to me and cleaning the home is one of the duties. Together, we will keep this place clean from spams & scams.

Please donate to Bitcointalk Charity Program - Give Hope To Everyone $1 Is A Big Thing For Them for a greater cause. Thank you very much for your contributions for this community!

[AicecreaME]

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.

Same here, I was surprised when Sir PM(ed) me about this. I was just reporting spammers because it was hurting my eyes to see people who are abusing this forum too much because of money.

Anyways, Thanks for appreciating our efforts Sir, will PM my btc add.

[2double0]

That's incredible, a very efficient way to say thank you to all the users who helped. Now, it's our turn to say Thank You Yahoo for keeping this forum clean with all your efforts and the mixed in efforts of the community as well. We all know we have been under the radar just because of that max post number as well as no restrictions on posting in any board, and I don't remember if I reported a user correctly or not but this treat to these users will definitely get many users showing extra activities in finding and reporting spammers 'though, we still don't expect anything in return and your appreciation is enough'. What you did is being witnessed for the first time at least from a manager's part and I salute to you for your way of appreciation you came up with.

[yahoo62278]

All users were messaged this morning, all but 9 have submitted addresses. Ill give them a half of today and start sending out payments. I also gave everyone who sent reports in a couple merit points when they posted in this thread, hope that's not viewed as merit abuse.

Keeps the reports coming in if/when you guys have time and keep up the good work.
