I don't know if you noticed but I have: bots are taking over this forum.  There are SO many new accounts spamming random crap all over the altcoin section.  I guess they're automated to upgrade their status in order to be used for bounty programs later on.  Look at the last posts of many many accounts.  They use the same 'great project, good team, nice future, ..." posts in EVERY post they make.  Sometimes the posts are exact copies of one another.

Can't there be done someting about this?
Some options:

- Bounty programs shouldn't be based on post counts, hence status.
- Detect the bot-accounts and delete them.
- Change your memberstatus by another algorithm: for example: combination of join date, length of posts, diversity of sections & average daily post counts instead of plain post count.

I don't know but the quality is declining rapidly.  Until a year ago you could actually read a lot of interesting threads and posts in the altcoin section, now it has become a postarrhea... Shocked
