^{For now on we are stuck with this competition}

^{I hope my post do not violate any BTT rules and is healthy for BTT community. I was looking and didn't found any rule that it may violate.}

Spammers are real pain in the ass for every BTT member. I think its time to be pain in the ass for them.

I'm presenting Report spammers and pseudo-goodposters competition.

Rules:
1-From now on until 29.04.2019 - I'll be happy to get as much feedback (positive or negative) as possible to improve this competition.
2-From 29.04.2019 to 1.05.2019 I'll collect applications from members willing to participate (I'll announce it in this thread). Applications should consist of screenshot with your current "report to moderator" stats : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reportlist;mine
3-1.05.2019 competition starts and will last 7 days (I'll post countdown gif). After countdown end all participants will have 24h to post screenshot with your current "report to moderator" stats.
4-I'll calculate how many good reports each participant have made and then I will rank them. To avoid abuse each participant with 5% of fail reports during competition period will be kicked from competition (be sure that your report is legit, do not report every post because you are only making moderator's work harder). Only reports from competition period interest me.

Reward:
1st place - 10 merits form me
2nd place - 5 merits - ~~I can't guarantee your reward. I'm looking for sponsor for your reward. I hope that someone will post his good will in this thread before competition starts.~~ sponsor : eaLiTy
3rd place - 3 merits - ~~I can't guarantee your reward. I'm looking for sponsor for your reward. I hope that someone will post his good will in this thread before competition starts.~~ sponsor : yazher

What is a spam post:

Off-topic replies have become a big problem. From now on, I will be deleting such replies without notice, forum-wide. If your replies disappear, this is probably why.

All replies must respond to the topic's original post in some way, even if they are replying to an on-topic reply. If your reply has nothing to do with the topic post, either add some content that is relevant or create a new topic.

Please report off-topic posts as soon as you see them.

What is pseudo-goodpost

Quote from: TryNinja on April 17, 2019, 10:19:01 AM

It's like a lot of spammers just evolued to pseudo-goodposters[1] and are getting money by lowering the general quality of the forum posts.

[1] Not blatantly spamming, but bursting posts w/ obvious things that have already been said or don't make any sense so their manager thinks that's a good post. Since most managers only take a small glance at their post history - not checking the post context - they can't know for sure if that's a HQ post or not. So they assume it is.

Example of pseudo-goodpost

28.12.2018 Bull created topic asking if there is any good crypto exchange that allows trading with altcoins without KYC. After 14 min i replied with my answer suggesting binance. Case closed? Naah.
Today I get notification form Maggiordomo bot that someone quoted me in this topic. On page number 11 Kang Bahar quoted me just to say that he agree with me but he also quoted another person who say opposite thing and guess what ... agree with him too adding few obvious statements from himself.

Binance dont need KYC and enable trading between altcoins and withdrawing up to 2 bitcoin per day. More than 2 bitcoin require KYC.

Yep. Binance is one of the CEX that has a large daily limit of withdrawal as much as 2 BTC per day without the need to complete the KYC procedures. That's one of the advantages for Binance users, which is rarely found in other markets.

Now a days id verification or KYC is mandatory in every major exchange, so i happen to ignore all big exchanges whether it is bittrex or binance.

Exactly. Because the function of the KYC system itself can prevent Anti Money Laundering. That's why for now, a lot of Centralized Exchange requires all users to complete KYC procedures.

Those are posts that are not spam but damages BTT even more. To get rid of those posts we need to report all of them. But don't waste your time on old posts. Those are already paid. They don't care about them. Report new, this week, unpaid post. That will make them to improve post quality.

Let me know what you guys think about this thread. Again if it validates any BTT rule than I'm sorry. I didn't know.
