I consider most congratulations posts to fall under rule number 1 for being low quality. Like I said, you can congratulate a project/user, and at the same time be a substantial post. However, I don't think yours was. As for your posts on the DAPP thread, I have no idea without context.

Hello and thank you for your feedback Welsh. I'm sorry I'm replying late, I was busy the whole weekend!

I understand your point, I almost never post "congratulation" posts but in that case I wanted to tell the developers "Please think where you want the project to go before you start spending these coins". Personally I believe GRIN has a bit divided community under the waters, mostly because of its block distribution model, that's the root of my message.
Reading my post again now though, I suppose my point was not written in a clear and constructive way; I tried to put it in a humble way as to not offend them or appear as a FUDer but I probably watered down my message too much! x)

Well... for this particular example the "magic word" that would help me improve this post was what you said about "It doesn't add anything to the discussion", that helped me and it WILL help me with my future posts!

just seeing those dated open-ended or long-solved questions brought up after X years by those sig campaigners get on my nerves.

Yeah, the problem with threads on Bitcoin Discussion, Altcoin Discussion, and similar, is that there is rarely anything that could be considered a defined "end-point". Look at some examples from the first page of Bitcoin Discussion, threads such as "Do you think cryptocurrencies will be gone anytime soon?" or "Can bitcoin help countries in economic crisis?". You could go back and forth on these topics forever; everyone could have an opinion, even if it's been said before, and there is no 100% right answer. Even if this thread is dead for months, someone can come along a bump it with their opinion and not be off-topic. Furthermore, the OP very rarely sticks around to read what is being said or discuss it, and therefore very rarely locks the topic once they feel the thread has run its course. Once a thread in these boards hits 5+ pages, you are very unlikely to read anything worthwhile.

Have you tried visit the "Patrol" feed? I have a few times tried to read an interesting post and find a new thread to watch in there but it's like a garbage generator!
Probably most of these threads are created so that the signature spammers can post short-nonsense-posts without going off-topic.

There are many threads with a bunch of signatures which are never being seen by other user users, still the campaign runners are paying for those!!!
It's their fault for choosing to go for quantity over quality; they also have the tools if they wanted, like choosing people based on Merit for their signature campaigns and not force them to do like 20+ posts per week.
But if the moderators would delete these threads, the spammers would invest other parts of the forums, so I believe it's best to leave them be.
Just focus on improving those of us who might occasionally break a small rule and have our posts deleted! Grin
