Campaign Participants:

Staff do not want to hand out bans for unconstructive posts but if we feel that you as a user are continually making very poor or unsubstantial posts due to your paid signature the following bans will be issued:

First offence: 7 days
Second offence: 14 days
Third offence: 30 days
Fourth: Permanent ban

Campaign Operators:

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.

YoBit should receive a warning and the majority of their campaign participants should receive a 7 day ban, immediately. Their posts are clearly nonconstructive and unsubstantial, and YoBit are quite clearly doing nothing to curb this behavior - quite the opposite, in fact. Paying for 20 posts per day is encouraging spam, not limiting it. The rules are very clear in the stickied thread I've quoted above. Lets start enforcing them.

You might as well ignore this unless things change and the admins start enforcing those guidelines, but if we do nothing then campaigns like Yobit will take advantage of that. They seemingly don't even have a campaign manager and if they don't then we all know what will happen.

20 posts in 45 minutes.

At least they're cutting out the lower ranks but there are still plenty of nothing accounts from the old days that do qualify. I hope the mods do a swift job on this because Yobit back in the day was a right old blight.

Someone already banned that user for post-bursting and it's his second ban, but he's also ban evading as a previous account is permabanned.

Optional: if you think the spam is really getting out of hand, you can probably give the user red trust.

Eh, as much as I'd love to tag shitposters, Theymos does not want members doing that, DT or not. The only thing that should be done if you notice someone spamming/shitposting is to report their post(s) to the mods and let them deal with it.

Staff shouldn't have to be left to do this. We basically become unpaid campaign managers having to do others perople's dirty work whilst they sit back and reap all the profits.
