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.
