Re: Signature Campaigns causing lifeless posts in Gambling section
Honestly it's depressing reading posts from a lot of people of all kinds of ranks now. It seems the problem with signature campaigns has only been getting worse in recent years. Now you have many, many Hero Member accounts and Legendary accounts which post completely lifeless things.
Earlier in this thread, I said that the pattern looks something like this:
Here's an example of a thread made in one of the Altcoin sections:
And here's three responses from Hero Members which honestly hurt to read and add very little to any kind of 'discussion' - not that the thread topic really fosters that anyway.
In all of these spammy posts the common theme running through them is that they latch onto some keyword from the OP or title, in this case IEO, and just say generic crap. The first post addresses the topic of the OP but it is clearly pretty low quality and just a combination of vague statements about how IEO is good, I'll be watching what happens with IEO in the future, etc. The second is a pretty poor post, doesn't address the original topic. Third post has the same problem.
Honestly, it's depressing nowadays to go through the forums and see so many crap posts. I think part of the problem is that it seems the Cryptotalk campaign is moderated solely by yahoo? He is a very good campaign manager but I don't think anyone can reasonably be expected to moderate 300+ participants on their own and the relevant sticky thread about signature campaigns does say something to that effect. Another moderator (not necessarily a 'manager' per se) for that campaign should at the very least be brought on - if they can afford to spend whatever they're spending right now, they can afford to pay another person to check posts.

Its pretty common. Say for instance the topic is {technology_name} and a recent occurrence to do with it, these people will generally latch onto the name and say things like {tech_name} is very interesting, it could be very good for bitcoin, I will be watching {tech_name} with interest.
