@OP: this isn't a democracy, it doesn't matter whether or not we agree.
...
Did you suddenly lose the urge to post on the Gambling boards?
It is just a poll. I have a point behind using it and it is not intended to make any pressure on admins of course. I removed the part that I already answered before and I didn't want to see it from a serious member. The last part of the quote was partly answered in other topics. It is related to the dedicated time I have and how to distribute it. Reading posts here alone and replying to it costs me half of it.

-snip-
I recall many posts of theymos in particular because I consider him as a serious and let's say clean person trying to improve the forum. Thus doesn't mean that I agree with all of his ideas and actions. Sometimes a try period in some sections for anything new could reduce the damage done when applied globally.

Now I understand why you had to write almost 11K posts to earn 161 merits.
...
So I made all the 10803 posts after the merit system was invented? By the way I was in the same signature campaign as you so show some respect @Little Mouse. I refrain from dealing further with such superficial way of thinking. You are trying to increase your post in a silly manner.
By the way, I have here 3 998 days from registration, you can make your calculation (you can use AI to avoid mistakes from what I see here).

As a forum user, spam is not in my interest and I think (most of) the Sigbans they received make the forum a better place.
Can I suggest that you (forums) make a new list about members that should never (or temporarily not) join signature campaigns and force all managers to check it before accepting these members? + check it periodically to kick those mentioned there? That would get ride easily from the non cooperative managers and his followers. Restricting the usage of avatar and signature is not relevant for single users.
I don't mind topping that list (like that I avoid seeing people posting random thing about me because of this idea).

Ban on this forum regardless of the status on the ban should not be a child's Play or for testing sake, that is why the law is there and anyone that goes against it face the consequence, be it a moderator, merit source, campaign manager or any other forum member, no one is above the law and once you see a ban is being placed on a user, then know that every reason to why this is being issued is valid.

It is what you have in mind and in abundance that you speak out; you only throw your opinion or idea, and this does not mean it is 100% acceptable, so don't be scared when people rake all manner of attack on you over this.
There is an immunity for some users here. That's undeniable until they make a mistake that cannot be forgiven. Testing? You can get a lot of information and drawing things from that. By the way, I am not scared about the attacks I got. I didn't do anything wrong or against the law. People might get irritated once they see a threat and attacking the person is the easiest way to make the process looks biased. You can take a look on politics how they discredit themselves by using personal stuff rather than discussion the threat itself.

- That's exhausting and time consuming -

How long is it open? Now, 74% of people voted for NO. You should already got the answer right ?

This obligation is neither for Staff nor Forum Member. These are 100% on the manager of the campaign to create their own list or accept the participant based on their post history.

Running a campaign is not an easy task and it requires someone actively monitoring participants daily and this cannot be left to Staff to deal with or for other users to report to you.

As a signature campaign operator you will ultimately be held responsible for the quality of posts of users bearing your signature advertisement and you will need to monitor your users closely or it will be quickly abused.



I agree with most other view, temp ban or long ban for the campaign. They will still keep posting maybe decrease a bit for at least 30%, and then continue again once the campaign is open. For long bans some users who are forum members will continue as usual, but users who are chasing the campaign will stop and sleep. Once is open, they will wake up, create a post with a few weeks' length, and then apply again for the campaign.

Since I read every couple weeks members mentioning signature ban,
A discussion on the forum doesn't mean that there are plans to implement a ban. This discussion is solely between users.

then can I suggest a temporary ban or let's call it a pause for few weeks or months of every signature campaign in bitcointalk?
What a coincidence to hear suggestions of this kind from a user with no signature. Wink
 
What's the purpose? It gives the staff an idea about what could happen once signature campaigns activity stop.
It is already clear what will happen: the forum's audience reach will shrink, and user activity will decline.

Who will be left to clean up this mess later? You - the one proposing this brilliant experiment?

It might have a positive impact, it might force spammers to leave once they lost their salary, who knows!
Spammers will wait out this "silence" period (a couple of weeks or months) and then return.

The problem with this experiment might be that the forum will never be the same again.

Can I ask also gently for a tempban for let's say 2 weeks for all managers during that. I want to see how many famous persons will disappear during this ban period to avoid ban evasion. It is just a curiosity and you can neglect that itchy proposition of course. Don't take that personally lovely managers, you are doing a great job for most of you.
Regards.
Are you suggesting we "kill the business" just to satisfy your curiosity? Smiley Of course, every manager would agree to that in a heartbeat. Cheesy

Edit: before jumping to the last post or the post of one known user then reply, try to take a look on the other posts and reply. Thank you for your time..
By the way, I am not angry, I just have a point.
Alright, I’ve taken your recommendation on board and moved straight to replying to your post. Wink

By the way, you’re going to get annoyed when you read the user comments on your idea. Wink

Maybe if you had started this topic before you were sig banned it would have made more sense. But right now you have nothing to lose, my guess is that you started this thread because you are frustrated by your sig ban since you can't just milk the forum yet, therefore you want others to have a taste of your current condition. Sorry its not gonna happen, request denied!

That's basically what I wanted to say. But personalities aside, I think banning signature campaigns even temporarily is a bad idea. The fact that very prosperous companies want to advertise on this forum puts this forum alongside those places where prosperous companies want to advertise. It's very prestigious and it's business. You don't play with such things. You will never hear a grand stadium going, "We decided to ban adds on our premises for a couple of weeks to see what happens." No one does that.

That's right—a forum where nobody wants to advertise is basically a crappy forum.

It's very prestigious and it's business. You don't play with such things. You will never hear a grand stadium going, "We decided to ban adds on our premises for a couple of weeks to see what happens." No one does that.

And yet there have been high-profile cases of companies that advertised in stadiums and then went to hell, like Enron, or the famous FTX case. The world isn't perfect.

So OP has a temp signature ban until January 2027. He has only now decided that he wants theymos to conduct a forum wide signature ban to see how the forum reacts, how posting behaviours are affected.

I might take his opinion seriously if he didn’t have a temp ban himself. Some people here are from poor countries, are good posters and really rely on their campaign earnings.

Respectfully, I have to say OP is butt hurt and others shouldn’t be punished just because he has been.

there may be enough people sig bans now that statistically we dont need anymore for this study. we can just watch how the currently sig banned folks react.

edit: well thats assuming that like 80% of them are not alts of each other

This works for me, if there's nothing in the signature for him, let's make it like that for everyone on the forum.
Either with snipie or not at all.

The worst side of his case is that he has almost 4k activity on the forum, 11k posts, and only 161 merit earned.

Can I suggest that you (forums) make a new list about members that should never (or temporarily not) join signature campaigns and force all managers to check it before accepting these members? + check it periodically to kick those mentioned there?
I can't find it now but there's a list of spammers which I've seen and it's been referenced in the neutral trust of some profiles I've come across too.
But you cannot "force" managers to do anything. Most already have a quality requirement from their participants in order to deliver quality promotion for the brand sponsoring the campaign

Edit; I found it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4440941.0
Probably is outdated now cause the user managing the thread has been inactive for a while.
