You sound like too much biased into the past. Please remember this forum got enough active moderators to catch and punish spammers as per mentioned
here.
Unfortunately that post is just an empty threat:
This should have been done long ago and it looked like some progress was being made when I finally got theymos to agree to the Guidelines, but then nothing happened and all requests for blacklists were ignored. If theymos doesn't have time to issue sig blacklists then I think he should probably code an interface instead that would allow Globals to be able to do so (or a special team of sig campaign mods or whatever).
Has there ever been any enforcement with this stuff? Take this, for example:
If you are running a campaign and it becomes blatantly obvious to Staff that you are doing little to nothing to stop spam on your campaign you will be issued a PM warning by a Global Moderator that you need to make immediate improvements to curb low-quality posts. You will have 7 days to remove low-quality posters and respond to the message detailing what you are going to do to make changes to your campaign to reduce the amount of spam. If improvements are not noticeable within 21 days of that and Staff do not believe you are doing enough to prevent low quality posts your signatures will be blacklisted from the forum by an Admin and you will no longer be permitted to advertise here in such a way.
No. I gave a few warnings out initially but most just ignored it completely and when I requested certain campaigns signatures to be blacklisted nothing happened. It really won't work without theymos' input otherwise they're just hollow threats and with bans they can just run campaigns off site. If it became public knowledge that we don't tolerate lazy campaigns most will just clean their acts up in the first place so warnings, bans and blacklists will probably have to be issued less and less as time goes on.
You are always welcome to check post history of anyone from this forum and to report accordingly. When you got all the opportunity to fight against the spam, it is leading to think "something different" when you are TOO MUCH BOTHERED about spreadsheet. In short, you want to fight against spammers just after this campaign ?
Forget the past, wake up for present and catch the spammers.
It's not my responsibility to do the jobs of other managers. I care about this campaign specifically because it's putting spammers into sections I actually browse (Gambling). There's way too many Altcoin bounty spammers for any individual to deal with, and managers for those don't care at all. I'm hoping that SteveStake actually *somewhat* cares.
