Can you see the future? Besides, isn't spam a moderation issue and unrelated to trust ratings?
An account that's used exclusively for the games and round, with not a single post joining any other discussion?
I don't need to "see the future" to know that.
Besides, I don't consider spam as purely a concern for moderators or even DT. Everyone should, and can help. Either
by reporting it or leaving negative
feedback.
The account was just very likely sold, my question is:
How do you know the new user will spam?Besides: if the posts until now have been spam[1], why isnt the user banned already? Moderation is slow, but not 8 months behind slow.
[1] They are what they are for the given threads, you dont post lengthy posts in a prediction thread.
1. Why buy another account? Either for scams or for signature farming. Then, wouldn't handling multiple accounts, whose sole goal are for earning in sig campaigns lead to spam?
Additionally, the 'new user' was likely in too much of hurry to start earning that, right after buying an account grown on games and round, he goes straight for a sig campaign. Expect decent posts? Unlikely.
2. Spam? Or a farmed account? Or a bought account for Sig Spam? Any of which I consider as grounds for a negative feedback.
Buying/Selling: Not moderated: They'll do what they will.
Trust: Not moderated: Same applies.
Feedback: Not moderated: Same applies.
Besides, aren't feedbacks just opinion?
If you trust someone (you add them on your trust network) then their 'opinions' will matter.
If you don't trust them(remove from your trust setting) and whatever 'opinion' they might have wouldn't matter.
Everyone are advised to do this, so the 'trust system' shouldn't be blamed if the users choose 'not' to change their trust settings.
