+1 for this. Almost all of his posts contain only one line maybe much lesser than that. The only problem is his posts can neither be counted as spams nor quality posts, somewhat between both.
Just want to know, is there any feature to report an account or are you reporting the account by reporting his posts?

if someone posts small sentences doesn't mean they aren't to the point and not contributng to the conversation...although those posts dont meet that critera.

I reported some his posts with the function "Report to moderator" . if someone posts small sentences doesn't mean they aren't to the point and not contributng to the conversation...although those posts dont meet that critera.
I don't know , I've seen some users that were banned and their latest posts are more constructive than his.

Looks like he is just trying to rank up by making such small posts but is there any rule for banning such users?

As much as I wouldnt mind that account being banned (along with 329392 others), its not a solution.
The real problem is that people are getting paid for signature campaigns. As long as that is allowed, we will be flooded by nonsensical spammy posts from a bazillion alt accounts, contributing nothing to the forum and burying worthwhile post under a pile of garbage, both to boost their post count and to increase their (per post) sig campaign payouts.

Your arguenrny is invalid in both this case and in others. In this case it is invalid because he is paid a fixed rate if he makes no posts or 1,000 posts. In other cases your arguement is invalid because campaign operators have an incentive to stop spam because spam with their campaign is not effective advertising. The op is probably right. I saw (and stopped at) 4 pages of nothing then one liners of useless posts

No problem , thanks for your work.

I read this on bitmixer campaign page: We pay 0.001* Activity/50 BTC weekly (max. 0.01 BTC). So yeah, it does make a difference if he posts nothing or 1000 posts, it influences his activity lvl. In other cases your arguement is invalid because campaign operators have an incentive to stop spam because spam with their campaign is not effective advertising. Nonsense. How many sig campaign base their payout on the trust of the poster or the quality of his contributions, rather than post count (activity/seniority) ? There is no incentive for signature beggars to contribute meaningfully, at most they must prevent getting banned.

Sometimes users escape the net, I try and report them wherever I can but the mods are pretty busy on this forum but they might notice now you've made this thread, you could maybe PM them as well, despite having a signature campaign I always do my best not to spam like that and just post shitty one liners, you could also report him to the actual sig campaign as well and get him banned from that so he has no incentive any campaign that's worth it won't want to have their reputation ruined by some asshole trying to spam on their behalf.

Posts contribute to activity as much as a single post per day unless the activity was otherwise held back due to few posts in a given period of the past (which is rare). Thus your argument is mostly invalid, because a single post a day is hardly spam. It might be of low qualitiy anyway, but thats not the discussion here.

Yeah you're right , but I thought a thread was better than a pm.

I'd at least report it to the sig campaign to cut them off and provide his post history as evidence, not really worth it spamming the moderators if they're busy because they might get annoyed.

Thus your argument is mostly invalid, because a single post a day is hardly spam. The poster being discussed here post ~1 post per day (unless badbear has been deleting). 1 post per day x non trivial % of 386829 posters = forum full of nonsense. And thats not even discussing referral links.

And thats not even discussing referral links. Referal spam is again the rules anyway and will be deleted/removed from the post. The person in question had at least 23 posts today when I checked earlier. I am glad that badbear deleted them because this will also result in no or almost no payment. Again: the quality of the posts is still low, but a low quality post every few days is fine, at least for me and the staff seems to agree. Its problematic (IMHO) when the majority of posts are of low quality and the person in question posts a lot. 30 one-liners over 60 days hardly matter, 80 posts within 24 hours do. -snip- If the campaign cares he most likely will be, they often have rules against spam to help keep the forums clean.
They usually have rules in place, but I feel they are not strict enough more often than not.
