I received one merit for this post of mine but spamming issue in Serious discussion board is what I saw and felt since recent years.

Changing their posting habits by improving their posts quality is a thing and prioritising other section is something that the forum should not be proud of. Yes some  people are forced to leave the gambling section to avoid the famous text. That's not normal..
It's not normal and it does not show any quality improvement.

Post quality belongs to posts and reasons of posting. It's like posting is a very last step to do, otherwise let's focus on reading and absorbing information, if nothing helpful to post, don't post.

By moving to other boards, shitposters made these boards worse.

I know that in Serious discussion board, signatures are all disabled visually but avatars shown.

Even signatures are not shown there, does it mean spams allowed?
Let's see the description for this board.
"More serious discussion. No advertising of any kind. No junk posts."
It means spams are not allowed but let's read topics and posts.

Health is wealth.
How religion became a thing for the poor.
Consistency is the Key of every success door.
All being hopeless.

I only quote very first topics shown on top of Serious discussion board but if you look to more other threads, they are mostly spam.

Is Serious discussion board becomes a spam board and no moderation like in bounties board?
What are purposes of spammers to post there?
  • Diversifying boards and topics in which they post, just to avoid signature ban?
  • Increasing account activity point?
  • Trying to fish merit if possible?
  • Cheating campaign managers if they don't notice carefully when counting posts in campaigns for payment?
  • Others?

Spam spreads around from bounties, normal boards to technical boards, and recent years to Serious discussion board.
Account which spread false/fake/unhelpful information on technical board.

• Signature ban is still recent, only one of those topics you highlighted was made within the last month, the rest predates the signature ban event and the more you drop in the board you get much older threads. There are a few recent replies but that has happened at different times with the board. Activity is generally very low, so such replies are easy to notice

• It does not help for post count and only contributes to activity periods. There are much better boards to do that on if it is the aim.

• Merit fishing is a possibility but there is so very little activity there that chances are very low.

Nope, and on every board, spam is not allowed either.

Have you ever tried to "Report to Moderator" ? What's the result ? I think boards like these are mostly faster to be taken care, just see the rules (mentioned a broken english on the rules of those boards). As long as the report explanations are very straight to the point. Perhaps Report: [Serious Discussion] straight-to-the-point reason of your report. Feels too tested.

Diversifying boards and topics in which they post, just to avoid signature ban?
Increasing account activity point?
Trying to fish merit if possible?
Diversifying the posts on every board is not gonna save them either. Nutildah is using a few points, not just their history post before sending the ban. The only things they're gaining on those boards are "potential-activity period". They could try to fish some merit too, but mostly merit sources or other people are really not having so much activity on those boards. Unless there is some discussion, it is quite important for them.

Cheating campaign managers if they don't notice carefully when counting posts in campaigns for payment?
Then, the campaign managers are not doing their jobs correctly.

I do not think some users are posting on the boards mentioned because of signature ban, but maybe it is.

Posts on serious discussions will not increase the activities, or are the posts there counting? I thought they are not counting under posts and activities.

What I think is that some people can post there to get merit if they noticed merit is there.

I have noticed that signature campaign managers on this forum know how to do the post counting perfectly, so I do not think that is also the reason. The most reason I see to it is merit.

But I saw posts on the boards before to be like the links that you posted while few among them have good quality, but not all.

Spammers will spam everywhere; they don't need a reason to spam. If they understood the reason, then they would never exist as spammers. They just want to write something; it doesn’t matter which board. Even as few spammers don't have a goal to post. I know you may not believe me, but that’s true.

If someone needs merit, activities or post count, then they could do that anywhere. Doesn’t necessary they have to choose a serious discussion board.

Wait so you mean serious discussion was never for such post
That's surprising because from what I have noticed since I got curious about it
It's usually post that would normally fall on off topic.
My first opinion before I checked it out was for people to discuss without any promotional activities
Just pure quality discussion
But reality was different and if I'm not mistaken CMs don't usually pay from post from that section
So I doubt people would do to meet post quota.
