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.

Most of the time these are people who have not and never are going to genuinely care about Bitcoin. The other case is that they are bought&sold accounts, so you have a knowledge disparity and the account owners don't know enough to comment deeply on anything bitcoin-related.

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.

I call these borderline cases. They are on the edge of being spam but have commented just enough to sneak by. It's like when people are asking empty questions that they don't truly care about.

Example: topic="How to start trading?";reply="Well OP it would be great to have some more details on your trading like how much capital you want and what market you are going to enter, can you answer this?";postNumber=56

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?

Partially... but he doesn't accept them: they are automatically registered via YoBit's website, which is why you'll see such crappy posts.

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.

If YoBit cared. They launched the campaign several ties w/o a manager and only brought yahoo on board after the campaign started.
