Signature Ban Appeal and Q&A : appeal your sigban here

[goldkingcoiner]

Nutildah you are going to need a separate thread to have a place to put all the complaints against dismissed sigban appeals. This thread is going to get flooded. In fact, it will get clustered by different people arguing different points... How are you planning on managing that?

Is this thread only for appealing a sig ban or can we request you to look into members we feel deserve a ban? If it's the former only, are you going to make another thread where users can request accounts be looked into or would that be too much drama in your opinion?

This seems like a good idea. But I think only appeals are the topic here.

In our team, we actually have one person whose job is to review and rate posts from the perspective of someone who is not deeply involved in cryptos, blockchain or even in gambling.

This person is doing a very bad job considering that anyone who follows your campaign at all will confirm that it produces the most spam on the forum (especially in the Gambling board).

Stake participants improves dramatically ever since Igebotz step in to help them manage participants and improve rules.

You notice the difference on post quality specifically on gambling board post if you will just spend time comparing their post quality to other participants specifically Rollbit/Rainbet.

The only advantage and currently bias on this signature ban is merit count was heavily being considered while lots of merit whore that truly spam the forum with nonsense repetition of Bitcoin selling/buying post was not being affected. They frequently spam gambling board with fake gambling story and football discussion post which is same with Stake participants.

With this signature ban, you are just giving the merit whore farm more slot for signature campaign. This decision will back fire if merit will always being prioritized as criteria most importantly that there’s already proof that some merit source like Smartgold was involved on farming.

Without going into the merits in relation to Gambling boards, I disagree with you because so far most users from the Stake campaign have received a sig ban. If we look at the table created by @bangjoe and add the fresh bans from the modlog we come to the point that the following participants in the Stake campaign have been sig banned : @virasog, @Akbarkoe, @fuguebtc, @Danica22, @bitgolden, @Sithara007, @Fredomago.

I don't believe this is the final number, and I don't believe that none of those who pay them for their posts could see how "quality" they are in what they do.

That's because there is ongoing paid campaign against Stake (according to a certain Stake member).

I’m glad to see this shitposter finally getting a signature campaign ban, albeit only for a couple of months. No one can convince me that there are actually people reviewing and rating his posts while still keeping him in the campaign, unless they have serious reading comprehension problems.

I respect your gladness here, but I like to learn what were the posts of @Sithara007 made you feel as shitposter due to spamming. Could you link to 5 posts or at least 3 posts with some explanation to justify their level of spam. I am just asking for learning purposes. Hope you find time for it.

(This is not limited to @Rikafip but anyone could do and @nutildah would be the most right person to give some samples which led them to sigban).

I just read their posts where I found simple yet very good English and good engagement with discussion still bursting posts posts could be a reason which also might have led for shorter ban among so far list of sigbanned.

Since you can't bother to write from your main account (which was probably one of those that got affected by nutildah's sig ban hammer) I also can't bother linking you his posts.

Just check his topic history, the last topic he created was on September 16, 2021 which is almost 5 years without creating any topic. Some people can be like that but I do not know how they are getting paid, not replying genuinely to topics and not creating topics.

How come he is always replying to only mega threads on the gambling board.

nice initiative

but given to the wrong person

nutildah is a hypocrite and a member of a gang in the forum

this will later turn to a witch-hunt because those profiles that nutildah sig-banned were initially on his watch-list long before he was given this position

the only person who can handle this position without bias is yahoo62278

MY QUESTIONS

what is the work of the moderators --- since nutildah will be fishing out shitposters, low quality posters, spammers and those who post only for signature it means that the moderators are not needed at this point

is nutildah a group of people to handle a sensitive position as sig-banning profiles

MY THOUGHTS

earning merits should not be used to identify quality posters because the merit system has already failed ---- people form cartels and gangs where they merit each other, moreover, there are few merit sources therefore merit circulation will be limited.

if you must sig-ban any profile, let it be on current activity. forget about the past except you are only interested in sig-banning people and don't want to see them improve

if we all should be true to ourselves, about 80% of people that registered their profiles after the ''newbie era'' are practically here to earn from signature campaigns so there is no such thing as someone posting to meet signature campaign post counts only

in respect to reducing people who only post to meet signature campaign quota, signature campaign managers should not set a minimum post count for a participant to get paid

prioritizing earning merits as a criteria of a quality poster will only bring about merit farmers

for fear that i forget, this development will increase more alt farmers because so many members will be afraid of receiving a sig-ban so the best alternative they can think of will be to have multi-accounts should any of them be sig-banned the others will continue making posts to earn from signature campaigns

in order to maintain fairness, more reputable members should be assigned to handle this position, nutildah should not be the only one

profiles should not be sig-banned just because of a single reason, let there be justifiable reasons

there should be multiple violation before any account should be sig-banned

[jg_btc]

Since you can't bother to write from your main account (which was probably one of those that got affected by nutildah's sig ban hammer) I also can't bother linking you his posts.  

Very nice excuse, so I take your stand like this: You called shitposter a random person from the sigban list just for counting your posts. You are the real spammer in my eyes.

almost 5 years without creating any topic.

Spammer because of not creating topic. OMG

Please dig their post history, you will find something to back @nutildah

Anyway, thanks for the attempt. Better luck next time!

How come he is always replying to only mega threads on the gambling board.

Because same sports are being played and wagered for years. This is something like how WO topic works..

Haha if I were to have been considered for this I would have probably declined the offer. You guys all think nutildah is just someone who has it out for you and that's nowhere near the truth. They want to improve the forum and contribute in a positive way. Just follow the rules of the forum and post with half a brain and you'll be just fine.

[PostQuantumBTC]

Nutildah did not say he has been given the power to moderate posts on this forum, he will still have to report the posts, but he is given the power to ban some users signature not to appear.

Can Nutildah moderate local boards? He can not. He can not moderate other boards too.

Even if he becomes a moderator, he can not only be doing the work. Before Nutildah, there are several moderators on this forum, if he become one, is that bad?

But I agree that yahoo62278 can also do the work perfectly but I guess that Nutildah would have been disturbing theymos about it before Theymos later accepted.

Sigban for not creating topic. OMG

You did not understand me, I said he is only posting on those mega threads, but I am very surprised that in almost 5 years, he did not create a single topics. There are new topics daily that people can post something meaningful to, not just posting only on mega threads.

[Yurkov]

.. Just follow the rules of the forum and post with half a brain and you'll be just fine.

Could you please check my posts and honestly tell me that I am half brain spammer?

[Woodie]

Can Nutildah moderate local boards? He can not. He can not moderate other boards too.

Could this be the loophole to these newly introduced controls, anybody that only posts in local boards and outside the lenses of  Nutildah is 100% safe. In short out of sight, is out of mind.

And btw , more likely candidates are more likely to come from english speaking boards, how does this get balanced out??

Tell me whose alt I am without telling me whose alt I am.  

You could make this post from the affected account, there would be no consequences for that since anyone is allowed to appeal for a ban they have received.

Anyway, I had a look at the post history of Sithara007, and I'm surprised to see that almost 95% or more of the posts only consist of strictly 4 lines. I know that one cannot gauge the quality of a post based on its length, but you can't just follow a pattern and do all your posts that way. You can't convince me that a person cannot have more points about any topic that could make them write more than four lines at least a few times a day. Look at this post:

IMO, Infantino had few choices. If he had stood his ground, then retarded Trump could ruin the entire tournament. Anyway, sport is no longer a sport. It has become business. I am glad that at least in association football the fans are not staying silent and are raising their voice. In cricket, the ICC is coming up with such retarded moves, that it is now difficult to separate satire from news. BTW, as I mentioned in one of the previous posts, I am looking forward to the expansion of the 2030 FIFA World Cup to 64 teams. I believe that it will be a great decision, which will make sure that every nook and corner of the world is represented in the tournament.

Focus on the bolded part. What does that even mean? "sport is no longer a sport." = makes no sense. One should at least explain what they are trying to say properly.

I wonder how a campaign can keep paying someone for making posts with such a pattern. I'm pretty sure that even among a bunch of spammers, there can be better posters than this.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

I'm trying to find a way to do this as unbiased as possible, and even though there's a large potential backlog of candidates, its probably better if I do something closer to random sampling.

Its probably only fair that I disclose the method, to make things more transparent. It will take me a couple of days to put something together to show everybody.

First of all, I will like to congratulate you on this very powerful opportunity you have just been given to issue out temporal signature ban to accounts on this forum. And I'm sure this is a great position that comes with great responsibilities, as you strive to offer your service in fairness to the general public.
However, i just tried to search this thread and the entire forum if I could get the comprehensive list of members whose signature have just been issued temporal ban and the reason but couldn't find such thread. And for that reason, I would have loved to suggest, why not you create a separate thread on the reputation board named "Signature Ban Announcement", and this thread can be used to announce new users whose signature space just got banned and the main reason why they got banned. Because in that way, it will look very much transparent to the general public. While this thread can be used for discussion and Signature Ban appeal. Because at this moment, it seems the Signature Ban is being done anonymously, and we don't have a dedicated thread for it yet.


So I will be glad if my suggestion to creating a dedicated thread will be considered by you, where Signature Ban users can be announced daily. Thanks


However, I just checked this tool and noticed that 36 forum members have just been issued temporal signature ban already... Wow! That's massive..
