When I finally get a desktop computer and internet access from home, I'm going to start tagging account farmers/shitposters in earnest. And in my mind there's little doubt who's doing it. It's like pornography. It's hard to define exactly, but you know it when you see it.

This is for now second best strategy right after banning them, but it will keep working only as long as tagged accounts remain banned from entering campaigns. If you tag enough of them some managers will surely set new rules that will allow tagged accounts post with reduced rates. Business is business.

I was lurking in 2014-2015 before I created this account and it was pretty damn bad then. Lately it's gotten a hellova lot worse, though. Sig campaigns have turned into lucrative money-making ventures for the Philippines and other poor, undereducated (not just in English, either) countries and they've attracted people in those countries by the thousands. It's great for them but horrible for the forum.

It's not just a lucrative business for the poor, it's a gold mine. Some of you rich boys should realize that in those countries you're earning 20$ a day in a job, working your ass of in construction, docks, or driving a cab. Recently, when Bitcoin was closing to $20,000, campaigns were paying over 10$ for a post! One day spent on a forum can feed a family for a month in Pakistan, India, or Bangladesh . This is a life changing deal for those people and they will keep swarming here like locust trying to copy-paste and google translate until something is done.

This thread is not for insulting anyone in terms of their ethnic background,but I cannot help agreeing with you on the fact that "working" on this forum can be financially boon for a lot of people. Since theymos isn't going to agree on banning on account sales,or limiting people to not have more than one account or banning signature campaigns,people are going to take advantage to their very best. This is just adding up to the pile of workload on mods. And theymos isn't willing to add new mods too.

Some of you rich boys

I don't consider myself rich, though the country I'm in may be considered better than some dirt-poor 3rd world country.

Right now it looks as though campaigns have dried up--I can't find one to join! I'm OK with that, but it is definitely fun earning an extra income just by posting here, which I do anyway. It just galls me that these morons earn that much money, enough to live like a king in their shit country--and they're so fucking lazy and ignorant about it that they can't even be bothered to put in a minimum amount of effort! Really, if you can feed your family with one day's work on bitcointalk, don't you think you should be writing pure fucking gold? But no, they either copy/paste or rewrite those garbage "bitcoin is going up day by day so our profit increase" type posts. It's sickening. I want their money. They don't deserve it. They should be left to starve to death.

Don't be this rude towards people who don't even know you. You cannot put the entire blame on the people from the third world countries,because they do not have proper education facilities for learning English or any other subject.They just byheart whatever they are asked to and just continue doing so. The blame is on campaign managers too not all of them but some,who use bots to manage their campaign. Some of them don't even bother to read their participant's posts. And please,control your anger,you'll have a cardio attack. And one more reason for shitposting is that the lack of knowledge people possess on bitcoin,if they bother to read,they can improve their Englsih as well as their knowledge. But I don't think they are going to do so until and unless managers,and theymos start taking some serious action.

Hmm, I don't get why the 30 post limit for newbies in the newbie forum got removed. I think this was an somehow effective way to make multiple accounts unattractive for spammers/rankers.

Was there ever such a rule for 30 post limit ? What the fuck are you on about?

These are things that exist since I know this forum.

So what do you expect me to do about it?

Please stop posting off topic and spamming this thread.Get back on the damn discussion.
Should have created a self-moderated thread.
