I deleted wwzsocki's posts because I have reason to believe that he made those posts merely for the sake of qualifying for ChipMixer's signature campaign. Note the timestamp of wwzsocki's application:
Username: wwzsocki
Post Count: 5031

As far as I'm aware, wwzsocki had never posted on any of the Mining boards throughout my time as moderator. He started posting there only after being apparently advised by DarkStar_ to do so:
... Last time we have a talk after recruitment and you advised me to write across more boards (which I did), but seems to be still not enough.
Would you be so kind and answer, please? I want to know what shall I do or change to have a better chance next time?
He has also referred to posting on this forum as "work":
... these are long working hours that have been irrevocably removed.
... but in 1% of the cases hours of someone's work disappeared and there is no easy way to find out why?
Wwzsocki doesn't appear to be working for the Bitcoin Forum as a moderator or an administrator. Therefore, I believe that it is reasonable to infer from at least these words that he sees this forum as primarily, if not exclusively, a mere opportunity for financial gain through signature and bounty campaigns. His
post history, especially with regards to his
various endorsements of something called GOLD, his participation in
its bounty campaign, and his
recent application for at least one other signature campaign, bears witness to wwzsocki's motives for posting. DarkStar_ himself noticed this, as did asche and suchmoon:
Yeah, I mean posting style. I agree with asche here...
It kinda looks like you are trying to change your postings habits to match the campaign... That usually doesn't go too well... I would be better to find a campaign that suits your natural posting (without any paid incentive) and not the other way around...
You're trying too hard and you're using 500 words where 5 would suffice: "Thanks, will try next time".
Also, posts are just that: posts. What significance do they have in your life that you feel compelled to make such an earnest effort to vindicate the worth of your posts and
your self-perceived literary and intellectual prowess? Is not life more important than posts on a forum that 99.99% of the world isn't even aware of? Unless, of course, this forum serves primarily or exclusively as a mere means to financial gain for you, because any action on the part of the forum's staff that is detrimental to that goal is then taken as a threat to your material self-interests.
Therefore, to be clear, I have zero tolerance for anyone whom I have reason to believe is posting exclusively or primarily for mere financial gain through signature or bounty campaigns. This forum is intended to facilitate reasonable discussions made in good faith according to
its rules. (I'm of the opinion that signature campaigns are generally detrimental to this forum's usefulness.) Additionally, the Mining boards are for facilitating serious discussions of bitcoin mining-related topics according to the
rules of that section and the
standards of the Serious Discussion and Ivory Tower boards. Unless wwzsocki is deemed to exhibit a genuine interest in bitcoin mining and a genuine eagerness to contribute quality discourse without regard for financial gain through signature and bounty campaigns, then he is not welcome in the Mining section.
