You have the "report to the mod" link in the bottom right corner of every post. Just use it when you see something spammy. We are keeping eye on the forum, don't worry. It's a matter of time such 0-value posts to be deleted ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) A good place to start looking for those is here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol

It really is unfortunate as most people only read the headlines and it can definitely be frustrating at times. But lets be honest here, this doesn't happen on Bitcointalk alone. It's pretty much the same with any community or any social media site, especially on Facebook. Laziness can only be fixed by the reader himself/herself unfortunately. The only thing we can do is to call them out, and or report the reply if it's way too off-topic.

And it’s not only regarding OPs. Often, there are answers within the thread that answer well enough, or narrow down the focus of the article or issue at hand. Nevertheless, you may then find posts that, whilst being on topic technically, are none the wiser that the context has been already narrowed down thorough the thread. As an example, I recently tried to narrow down the focus of what Bitcoin ATMs meant to Venezuelans in a thread on Economics (see First Bitcoin ATM in Venezuela). Since the OP was written on that thread (January 2019), some events has changed, so I resurfaced the thread in October 2019 to explain a bit further (an adecuate necro-bump in this case). Some people catch-on, but many add some sort of "yupi dupi” type comment without having read about the situation there at all, that contextualized the depicted events.

90% of the users do not read before writing. If you do, you will get many merits and will be considered a good poster.
I recommend that you just ignore any thread with more than 15 replies. Some very specific threads are an exception to this rule imo. After 15 replies, most of the time, everything was already said and spammers join in

The guy you are giving example (complaining) about is just an shill account of an already proven scam exchange Coinsbit. I think he is just upset about people discussing on shady exchanges, and considering Coinsbit's name to pop up somehow. It has no moto than spamming afterall. I don't think you would commonly find such irrelevant stuff from most of the members here other than newbie shill accounts. The best way to deal with it is, as suggested above by using "report to mod" and they would be nuked soon. But yaa, you cannot stop someone from creating more accounts to shill and post baseless shit, sad to say.

It actually surprises me that a scaring amount of people are not reading the ranking system on the forum and is actually thinking that your post count is the one what raises your rank on the forums, which is one of the factors contributing to the massive spam that has been going on for quite a while. It's honestly fun to see accounts with several hundred or thousand posts that are stuck on Newbie and/or Jr. Member/Member ranks.

Well there are really some that isn't reallt after the content of every thread while there are some who are really aiming to know what is up and want to learn something. I've stumbled upon a topic about what did the people here in forum learned upon joining. There are lots of them that enlisted their learnings from here which is because of reading articles here and involving to threads which adds up to their learnings. While some are only here for bounty campaigns and just accomplishing tasks given to them.

I would say 60 -70 % dont read before they write something . I recommend that you just ignore any thread with more than 15 replies. After 15 replies, most of the time, everything was already said and spammers join in
Depends realy on what board you are and specialy on the Altcoin board you are right as long the thread owner is active with what they doing ( But there are not much). The most just read the First post mostly or the first lines on it if the post is longer. At the other side if there are more replys on a thread specialy that one that the OP have posted they share all there view and a few of them there Experience.

It really depends on what you are replying to. If you reply to the OP, you should quickly skim through the whole thread to check if someone has made the same reply as you are about to write. But if you are replying to someone else's reply, and especially if that reply is recent, there's very little posts to read. So, to avoid both unnecessary posting and unnecessary reading, you shouldn't reply to the so-called spam megathreads - threads that have many pages of answers and ask some general questions that have been asked many times already.

Most of the people come to this forum to gain money by posting. They want to spend more time on posting and less time on reading which i think is totally wrong. If we spend more time reading, and less time posting not only our posts will be valuable but also we will be saved from burst posting and spamming.

There are two more things that shitposters tend to ignore (not read) before posting: - Day of last post inside topic they visit and have intention to post. - Warning message of the forum whenever they click on Reply on long-inactive topics. Consequently, I remind posters to pay their attention on last posting day and warning message before making their posts.

I think this is the thread you're talking about, you actually made this thread in the off-topic section, and I must tell you few people visit that section, your thread just took me there for the first time in many months. Many thread there aren't really "off-topic" in relation to being outside of cryptocurrency, they are threads to be discussed by a group of friends discussing over a meal, not on a forum.(stuffs like "your favorite meal", "favorite food" etc), it isn't just appealing. Not everyone loves to read long threads, I myself do not like to read messages that are too long, except they interest me, are about merit statistics(i love those threads), or if it has an arresting beginning. Honestly not everyone would read a really long thread by a newbie, worse when that thread is posted in the off-topic section, that should be the reason you thread lacks more than three replies as of the time of posting this.

OP, you're right. Many people didn't come here to read. Their main intention to make as many posts in short time as possible and get paid for it. Some of them aren't even interested in crypto and came here just to make money. We can't expect that they will read long articles and will reply to topics only after reading it But similar trends happens not only on Bitcointalk. It's common on whole online media. People often read just titles without opening article. This is why there is things like clickbait headlines - they need to make something that people would open article.

Unless a forum board is adequately moderated, such as the Dev & Tech and Mining boards (although these boards have way less traffic compared to other sections), there are hundreds of people daily looking for excuses to post something with the minimum effort just so they get paid more for participating in pay per post signature campaigns. Bitcoin Discussion and Economics are particularly terrible when it comes to expectations <-> reality mismatch. In the future you may want to consider posting in Serious Discussion or its child-board Ivory Tower — signatures are disabled there, so whoever posts solely for money has no incentive to venture there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=250.0

It’s pertinent to note that if you quote a post that was off topic or spammy, then when that post is reported your quoted post reply will be deleted too. In addition to this there’re many members here who’ll actively report posts which needs to be deleted, but sometimes it takes few days to be deleted as mods are only human but in the end they’re always cleaning the forum.

Most read nothing but the headline or the first/last post in the thread, which is understandable if the thread has 10+ pages - but in most cases, such threads are not worthy of posting, what anyone can say but that is not already repeated at least ten times. Users should monitor their threads and lock them after some time or made it self-moderated and delete spam. But what if thread has only two pages and most users still not read other posts? I will give you just one fresh example how not reading is producing spam - do you think user hello_good_sir would ask such question/s if he read previous posts?

It is good to have a summary of your thoughts or you want to share on this forum. What I mean is not doing an essay but with sense. You can summary your post with at least important information. I honestly do not have time to read for a long article but I want to learn more.
