Re: SIGNATURE CAMPAIGNS COULD ALSO BE A SOURCE OF THE SPAMMING

We all wondering how we will curb the level of spamming on this forum but we have not realize this. One thing I have noticed about bounty campaigns is that, they are all having vast differences in the number of post that signature campaigners should post for their weekly stakes. Some wants 10 and others 15 some even wants 20 looking at the number of characters they want us to post. Although I am not saying signature campaign is bad but what I think should be done by the forum mods is that they should give an announcement out which will limit all signature campaigns to 10 posts and that will partially help solve the problem.

This is because when someone joins a campaign and they want 15 post and the person joins 2/3 days to the close of that week, the person tries to post all the 15 posts thereby spamming the forum with so many post within the 2 or 3 days.

Also bounty campaign managers should make sure that anyone who joins their campaign 2-3 days to the end of the week will not receive stakes for that week unless the person waits for the start of the following week.

If all these are done I think it will help reduce the spam on this forum.       

What you're suggesting isn't anything new and people have called for limiting the amount of posts that are required on a campaign for years, but this wouldn't really stop the issue. Most ICOs accept anyone so people would just create multiple accounts to get around any limitations that you put on them and campaigns are lazy and won't enforce this so this is then something staff would then have to police and enforce and if we were going to do that it would be better done in different ways. A much better suggestion would be to hold bounty campaigns and their managers responsible for the crap people are posting under their bounties. If they're accepting anyone without any quality controls and spamming and copy and pasting is rife then there should be some repercussions for that and until there is nothing will really change around here.
