excuse me, man. may i have a suggestion about preventing spamming? i am looking forward about the opinions. so you guys want to prevent spam, right? why not to increase the minimum symbol characters into around 100 or even 200? for that matter, you don't need to ditch the count of off topic posts. however would we need to increase the reward per post? that's a method to force spammers increase their quality of posts, right?

disclaimer: i wanna increase the quality of posting from the beginning, rather than all the way supporting SMAS.

Quantity does not equal to quality. Spam is simply defined as noncontributing posts, which are not directly related to the length of a post.
Honestly, the first thing we have to do is filter out the non-English speakers that are unable to form a proper sentence. (This is an ENGLISH-speaking forum)

Those -1 post entries are normal default entries to avoid mistakes. Since errors from when tracker campaign started, dev added this so at the start of crediting, it starts by making such a created entry before doing anything else for everyone. That way if credits are not processed for only some people it becomes very obvious to user (which might not be obvious to us otherwise, especially if it's only a few people at end of the queue, since without such a default entry, there would just be a few entries missing for that day and unless we counted manually entries for each day, we wouldn't notice a few missing one.) These entries make it easy to spot and easier to correct and reprocess failed credits

Dev added a lot of tracking/debug features since last issues and feature since the last problems. Tracker starting to become a really polished product. I got in touch with dev and issue will be looked into.

I got the error again today (4th time), please keep us updated!

i know, but people who has lower ability of English should be grown here so they can gain English skills faster. if we don't educate them English but filter them out, even if he she is not in any campaign, i believe it is a form of discrimination. manager is human to verify, but counter is a bot, after all. how about giving bounties of catching people who intentionally spam? would that a better choice to decrease spamming?

like what you have said, quantity does not mean quality, yet in fact quality doesn't mean quantity. for an example: people could post dozens or even hundreds of threads/replies in which all of the content in this situation are well organised, on topic, detailed, and constructive; they deserve rewards. right?

So should we let them roam free around the forum and lower the quality of posts? The truth is that most signature campaign spammers with bad English are not looking to improve their English - their main intention is simply to make money with their signature.

And what about the users that unintentionally spam? They shouldn't be given a free reign.

I think we should continue this discussion in the META thread.

Isn't all this stuff the reason for which campaign managers are hired?
Expecially in.this campaign , considering yahoo cannot enroll people ( only Namworld does afaik) but just have to monitor posts quality and eventually repost spammer to Namworld.
