I mean really?  He follows all the sports from Cricket to Basketball and all the leagues in Football?  He's clearly making things up and trying to pretend he follows all those sports.  Can't a mod or someone tell the campaign manager to control their campaigners and tell them to quit spamming?

The vast majority of FortuneJack users post like that because of their campaign terms:

Minimum Posts: Minimum 30 Posts per Week. IMPORTANT: 25 Posts out of 30 MUST BE MADE IN GAMBLING TOPIC (Any Thread), otherwise payments will not be made. Posts made in Games & Rounds will not count towards Gambling Topic activity requirement

It's quite obvious that there's a handful of users with multiple accounts just spewing out this rubbish one after the other in those sorts of threads. I asked cyrus to look into it a while back but never got a response. I'm starting to feel like we should have never created that Gambling Discussion sub in the first place and just locked/trashed everything that wasn't directly about bitcoin gambling because all those Sports Discussion threads are there 100% because of sig spammers, especially with the campaigns that made it mandatory that x amount of posts need to be in the Gambling section.

Nooo please.  Many of us love to discuss our favorite sports and our bets.  It's just some of the campaign managers aren't doing a good job running their campaigns.  FJ is a good example of that.

Here's a tip.  The threads where the spammers are likely to flock into are the less popular sports and leagues threads.  When you see someone make a thread on Curling and see that it's so active.  Chances are, those people are most likely spammers.

Edit:  Maybe it's a good idea to rename the Gambling Discussion section to 'Betting Discussion', to get rid and avoid dumb threads like these:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1711623.0
