[Q] Is this ok?

[eternalgloom]

Moderators should merge all the posts. There are some people that have the same posting pattern which is not good.

Moderator only merge if they find consecutive posts in a row.

Question being, shouldn't this 3 posts be merged into one (or more like, they shouldn't be separate in the first place)?

Yeah, he could definitely do that. Ninjastic says he average make 35-40 posts per week. That's not too much for any sig campaigner.

So why you need to make one-liner consecutive posts, when you being paid handsome amount for that?? I only know one reason why a person would spam, it's multi accounting,,

The Stake campaign notoriously has the highest maximum post quota of any campaign. You often see people wearing that signature with poor etiquette, behaving like social media reply guys, spamming as many replies as possible.

Did you check Rainbet or Rollbit1 & 2? they are Champion in this case, Stake is far behind I think

I’m not spamming the forum neither am I manipulating the rules. This is a witch-hunt imo. I have been on this forum for about 4 years, never have I seen such a case before on meta. Asking for an account to be banned because you believe their posts should have been merged is extreme imo. I believe this should be a learning experience for myself and other forum members about posting etiquette.

Such posting pattern is definitely spam in my eyes, and to seek clarity on the same I created this thread, I have nothing against you, you can be assured of that.

I personally don't find it a big deal, this user is just airing their grievances with gambling platforms.

I see far worse posts on that board on a daily basis.

It's not about post quality, and just because something 'worse' exists, doesn't make thing at hand 'right',  this is wrong mindset imho.

You could reply to all those posts in a single post, but you replied to them in different posts, so that you have more posts.

That’s your take and I think I get your point now.

"that's your take"!? — that's literally the correct way to respond.

Trust me, I don’t think so. I also don’t have anything against you or hosemary. You have been here since 2017, and I’m sure you have seen all sorts. I’m sure you created the thread to hear what the community has to say. Like said earlier, I have learnt something new as well.

Trust me, I don’t think so.

What makes you think posting pattern in question is alright?

**What is it with waking up one morning to find yourself among an accusation on Meta, on something you never thought was abnormal to do**

What you did was not normal.
Whenever I want to reply in a thread, I read the posts until the last one and reply to all I want in a single post. I make a new post only if the the post I want to quote has been made after my previous post. Everyone should do the same.

I read at least the last page of every Mega thread before posting. Honestly, HM, never thought of it that way; I thought if an existing post looked too lengthy, after quoting some, I could post it, then quote any other person, as long as I wasn't posting in a row.

I call this bullshit, and don't defend yourself with bs. You don't respond to a comment that was already there prior to comment you made, separately.

[GeorgeJohn]

Theirs nothing much wrong with the 3 posts, her attention was caught first by someone reaction to the thread, and in same page3, she reacted to the another comments...before reacting or responding to op of a thread..

What i found wrong is that, she's suppose to commented the third comments to the thread first, before quoting other users...But if we should be disciplining people base on that, many users will be a victim..

I do come across such kind of response in the forum..And secondly, some comments caught people attention and you will not remember to follow protocol why responding to a comment....

It's completely wrong! All they have to do is admit and delete the posts. It's not that hard

[Karl_3000]

What are you saying? What they are doing is very wrong. There is nothing that can be considered as signature spam than that. You are a hero member but you are saying that she did nothing wrong.

Your post is also a spam because you did not read what people have posted but you just jumped into this thread and post what you do not know that the person in question have been told that they are spamming.

In a thread of that nature, making three posts already looks like not appropriate. If it is a mega thread like the English Premier league thread, I'll somehow understand.
If there's nothing absolutely new to add, writing 3 posts almost consecutively is not that appropriate. There's no rule for or against that, but I believe it is just unethical.
There are some signatures you will wear and you will be inspired to make such type of posts to complete quota but if it's a campaign that requires 20 posts, a user cannot just exhaust 3 posts in a single shaky thread.

I read from the beginning to the end, and I also access the links that leads to the comments....she did nothing wrong...I have articulated were she made a mistake...by not responding to the thread first, before quoting two [2] response...You can equally do same thing unknowingly.. Assuming she responded to the thread first before quoting the two users..would you have called it a spam?

Your post is also a spam because you did not read what people have posted but you just jumped into this thread and post what you do not know that the person in question have been told that they are spamming.

LOL... If its how you rate your own spam....That means you don't know what spamming is all about...Secondly, does it mean that it's a most for me to concur to your opinion?...That means you're also spamming, for you not to agree with my opinion..

[hosemary]

That’s your take and I think I get your point now. Would it have made any difference to you if the post order was reversed? 

No, it wouldn't make any difference.

she did nothing wrong...I have articulated were she made a mistake...by not responding to the thread first, before quoting two [2] response...You can equally do same thing unknowingly..

No, what she did was wrong and Karl_3000 is 100% correct.


In this post, I replied to both SatoPrincess and you.
Instead, I could reply only to you, wait for some others to post in the thread and then reply to SatoPrincess. In this way, I could increase my post count by two instead of one. Is it right to do so? That's exactly what SatoPrincess did.

[TypoTonic]

I’m not spamming the forum neither am I manipulating the rules.

Why did you feel the need to provide three separate responses? It seems unnecessary to me. The order doesn't even matter, you could've replied to them all at once. I'm just asking since you haven't really provided any explanation yet.

[Rikafip]

Replying just one hour after to the same post:

Real are about to face a difficult stretch, and they’ll need to perform at a very high level to win their upcoming matches.

Moments like this is what defines the coaching abilities of every team manager, let's allow him walk it through.
At the end of their last match, it was clear that Alvaro Arbeloa's team has a tremendous experience in handling these high pressure situations. The whole team now has a unique and coordinated style of play, which might help them even in their next match against Real Soceidad. Until the very end, perspectively, if needed to be highlighted, those who really shone in that match was Mbappe and Carreras. Mbappe keeps scoring goals and deciding the matches, and Carreras was a deserved MVP, with a very solid performance. Although the performance wasn't convincing, but the three points was all the game was for.

Their next game is at home against Real Sociedad, but Sociedad are in very good form right now. And just a few days after that match, Real will have to play against Benfica, so Arbeloa will need to think not only about securing the win against Sociedad but also about preparing the team properly for the match with Benfica.

It normally happens like this is in so many teams as well... How do they manage the players, even in conversation to win one or sometimes, two league matches before a UCL game? All he needs to do is make his reserve team for the UCL, then give out some spot to the academy boys to secure themselves a future spot in the team A.
Inarguably, it's going to be a tough one for them, but what else can they do? They don't have too many options/ choices, they just need to improvise. Meanwhile, Benfica also has a match tomorrow against Santa Clara, which can also influence their performances in a few days.

He even tried to make it look like he was replying to two different posts by dividing Inwestour's post into two parts and replying separately. What could be the reason for doing that other than inflating the post count?


Shitposters and spammers are getting really inventive in the ways they try to increase their post count, but I guess you have to do that when you write with God knows how many accounts.

[Sandra_hakeem]

There are hundreds if not thousands of post on that Mega thread, but then I chose to divide a single quote for post inflation? Please take a good look at the two quotes and if you understand football speculations properly, you should be able to figure out why. I keep asking myself, do the people really think I took it upon myself to [expose what I thought was the worse level of spamming] on the same board, but tried to commit the same offense, advertently, with the knowledge on what the full weight of the laws hold? Like, can someone be that idiotic?
Never knew something like this could be rated as another level of spam. Never did. I guess someone just has personal grudges, either with me or the campaign I promote.

The Stake campaign notoriously has the highest maximum post quota of any campaign. You often see people wearing that signature with poor etiquette, behaving like social media reply guys, spamming as many replies as possible.

25 posts is required weekly to get paid. It is $50 for hero and around $62.5 for legendary.

Must make at least 25 quality posts per week

They are given 2 days not to post if they wish:

You must be an active forum user in daily basis (or at least 5 days a week)

But just that some people are on this forum just to spam and receive signature campaign incentive.


I think Stake has up to 5 people as campaign managers which Carollzinha assigned, that should be enough for the campaign but I think some people just want to spam and look for means not to get caught.

I think we should not blame Stake, let us blame these people. Also it will be good if the forum give them temporary ban for others to learn from them.

When there was still Chipmixer, 50 posts was required. I am posting at least 50 posts weekly for Stake but I do not spam. I think Stake should also be watchful of the people they are accepting into campaign. This is not about the number of posts. I make 70 to 75 posts several times until recently that I reduced it to 60.

If Stake said do 18 posts the posts would  drop by around 28%

So stake is partially responsible.

Especially if they require posts in the gambling section

[Rikafip]

Please take a good look at the two quotes and if you understand football speculations properly, you should be able to figure out why.

I did, and I see no logical reason to first reply to one part of someone's post (which was btw a simple 2 line post) and then to come an hour later and do the same with the rest of it. You weren't commenting on a live game, person you were responding to didn't edit his post etc. So what made you to do it, what changed in that hour that you couldn't reply to his post in one go or edit the post and add whatever else you had to say? Make it make sense pls.

Never knew something like this could be rated as another level of spam.

Its just common sense (which they say it's not so common), not every possible scenario has to be mentioned in the forum rules. Just ask yourself, how would forum look like if everyone started doing that on the regular basis?

I guess someone just has personal grudges, either with me or the campaign I promote.

Yeah, yeah, your posting etiquette isn't the problem here. It's the people who are out to get you.  

[libert19]

I have articulated were she made a mistake...by not responding to the thread first, before quoting two [2] response...You can equally do same thing unknowingly.. Assuming she responded to the thread first before quoting the two users..would you have called it a spam?

Order of comments is not a bother, since she's responding to stuff (op & comments), which are already there by time comment she's making, they don't warrant a separate responses — it's that simple, I don't understand why someone could defend this.

As for, 'unknowingly' — as I mentioned in op, I called out SatoPrincess ((albeit, didn't link the post), this was her response:

All these 3 posts of yours should be in one. What's up with you?

What makes you say that, wise one?

[SamReomo]

I will not blame those members because there's no set rules for such type of posting, it's not ethically right approach and I believe everyone should fix such mistakes and do not repeat such type of posting again.

But, I believe there should be some rules regarding posting at gambling boards as that's the only genuine way to reduce spam at those boards. I've seen many spam posts at those boards but those posts stay there and no one question those posts.

[libert19]

You know I try to imagine such type of posting by more users, and forum starts looking like a spam fest — this is deffo not right, and if there should be a 'rule' to restrict users from such type of posting, then it should be made.
