Has theymos ever banned any signature campaign due to spam?

[Charles-Tim]

I've hired spammers, everyone has had a few.

So you are admitting of hiring spammers in campaigns and you think this is ok 

Yahoo62278 has managed many campaigns in the past and we know that he is a good campaign manager. I think he meant that many campaign managers have hired spammers in the past. Many of the spammers were known and tagged. Some even plagiarized and got banned. Some people were actually good posters before but you will notice all of a sudden that they are spamming.

There was a chaos in yobit.net signature campaign as far as I can remember but were they banned here? I can't remember.

Good question.
It is not always company advertising some service that should be blamed for spamming in forum, in some cases campaign managers should be temp-banned for accepting and keeping spammers in their campaigns.
They are not only hurting service they are working with them but they are making all other bitcointalk forum members look bad.

I don’t think anyone would advertise a service that is against forum policy and not get temp ban at list. A fee have gotten this in the past for free giveaways, consenting to participate by application and participation. I think it would be very much applicable should any manager come up with a mixer. So, it ain’t really about the services here but, the participants and patterns to management.

One thing remains true though, when you’re brought to the scale or your participants so many times, it becomes a spoken truth that there is something there and should be looked up.

Easy man, lol… am sure you understand Yahoo62278 to mean it quite differently.
Managers have got the criteria to look out for in selections and times of the opener of a campaign, a few accounts increasingly becomes active, a few wakeups and all. You find them active and having turn overs of posts with some considerable quality but, once accepted, their true nature emerges.

As well as having to report these posts, a few managers have come up with the report to manager format for close observation, removal, blacklist and tagging of these users.

I think Yahoo62278 implemented a one merit earn per week qualification for users to retain spot in his campaign. As users whom tends to earn merits are more likely to be good posters. A few spammers might have their ways around this but, it’s where the rest of the forum comes in.

Especially, when you’ve got multitudes to manage and a high posts work load to evaluate, managers becomes a little sloppy on the job I think. Hence, having a minimal range of posts per week would make for efficient reviews too.

It’s said that, one who makes a lot of posts per day by weeks is more likely to spam than those that posts very little. This comes to play mainly when you’re posting to meet up with the set quota.

You really think you, me and other who like to label "us" to others that we do not spam? More or less all of us spam in the forum.

Let the signature campaigns ban from the forum, I don't think many of these "us" will care to post in the forum. We post because we need to earn merit to rank up [once have the highest rank we still continue because we need to separate us from others], we suck others ass [like GazetaBitcoin sucks all of ours dick and buttocks to protect icopress] because we need to be in the DT. All these earn a good character for us and good character means better chance to be in a campaign, better chance to receive high payment, better chance to make a business in the forum.

When was the last time you did not felt that you are short to fill up your weekly target. You logged in and made some posts not because you felt to involve in a discussion but because you need to complete your target. You can make a thousand words article but you still is a spammer because you did not post to serve your mental desire but to serve the needs to get paid.

You need to sleep or something, your goal shouldn't be to spin up drama.

Yes I have hired spammers. I've given 2nd chances to someone with a somewhat crap history and even sent a warning to them prior to hiring them. Then you have users you don't know or feel were spammers but they soon show they are and get themselves on the blacklist. I even overseen the yobit campaign and fired hundreds of spammers cleaning this forum up.

Maybe you need sleep more than me.
I didn't hire spammers for anything, and I don't try to spin up anything.
It seems to me that you are trying to put things under the carpet because you are a part of the same campaign as QueenVera was, but I could be wrong.
Best of luck.

I wanted to show them what can happen for not managing a campaign properly but people took this into a different discussion.

I don't think Stake cares. It's not like they don't have the money to invest in a quality campaign manger, up the payrates, and get some of the best forum members onboard. All that would result in more quality over quantity. Because I don't think they care, their main goal is to just have the signature and their brand appear as often as possible, regardless of the quality of the posts. That's working.

[examplens]

yobit.net was an exceptional case because they did not care about who was accepted or the quality of the posts, but they were not banned, as the campaign continued to advertise even after those accounts were banned.

If I remember correctly, the Yobit campaign (at least this is their last campaign on this forum) was not banned because of spam, but because it was a promotion of their scam investment scheme. Promotion of a non-existent (Yobit) Dollar token. First, they were forced to change text into signatures, only to be completely banned after a while

And a negative campaign is still a campaign. One spammer unintentionally caused drama and discussion about him and the Stake campaign as well as Stake casino in general. Whatever we think, Stake is a hot topic these days on Bitcointalk.
Was it worth it, it certainly was. The Stake is generous, they don't even insist on quality. What would they do if they started to spend their obviously rich budget with more quality.

If there is an overwhelming number of spamming in stake campaigns, will theymos still give them a pass? I wanted to show stake what such a campaign can cause to them, their reputation. Anyway, that's something else we are getting directed now.

Yunno when everyone else in the room becomes uncomfortable for a displeasing attitude of yours and, you don't give a shit ?! That's it!  

Borovichok was thrown under the bus and even when their cover was blown, Somehow, they still managed to cling on. I'm not gonna say that literally everyone in there is a spammer since we recently had a few knowledgeable people join them last month, but that again is way less.

Do people really care about quality now a days? Just a few.i could even list them if I have to..and yunno what? They're seeing results which is why they don't plan on changing anything.
