I think encouraging people to post 20 posts a day is a bit irresponsible.
Yeah, but it's nothing new, just something we haven't seen in quite some time.  I can't remember when Yobit ended their campaign the first time, but I honestly did not notice a difference in the level of shitposts when it did end.  Same with Secondstrade, which had tons of spammers in it.  So we'll see how this plays out.

If Yobit plans to add a rule on their campaign it should be the merit requirement.
Yep, great suggestion and I'd love to see an earned merit requirement of at least 20 or something like that.  It would have to be high enough to prohibit spammers from easily obtaining the merits illicitly. 

In general, I really have no problem with Yobit bringing back the ol' 20 posts/day campaign, and I think someone could easily make those 20 posts and still not have them be garbage.  You just have to take your time and think about what you're writing--and spend enough time doing it.  I'm sure I mentioned I was in the old Yobit campaign from December 2015 to about mid-2016 I think, and while I'm sure some of my posts were short and might be considered low-quality, I did try to put some effort into each of them. 

That said, I worry that this is not what a lot of current Yobit campaign participants are going to do.  I've already noticed a lot of thread-bumping going on by members wearing the Yobit signature.
