I also noticed that Offtopic board gets more and more spammed with zero value posts and topics. Let's see two examples:
Not gay but attracted to women with penisI NEED HELP, MASTURBATION IS KILLING MEWhat in the world is the connection between transgenders, masturbation and Bitcoin?! Seriously, are such topics representative for BitcoinTalk? And the list is huge in Offtopic, these beings just 2 topics that caught my attention lately.
They use this type of post to boost their activity and boost their weekly qouta for the respective campaign they're enrolled in.
The below post is the perfect example, as it is taken from this very thread:
Is the thread still there? Maybe we could take a look at one of them.
I kept my eyes on this user since December last year. He posts in all possible topics and boards just for having more posts insinde the campaign he's a part of. He posts once then he jumps as a grasshoper to another topic. Rarely he posts twice in the same topic. He just posts once and goes away, happy because he made 1 more post. In this thread he had no intention of engaging in the disvussion with a constructive post, just tried to obtain 1 more post inside the campaign. He asked a dumb question - if the thread is still there - although OP posted the archived example and also a link to the mentioned post. Clicking the link of the post returns an error page, saying the post is deleted.
But this user - UserU - didn't ask the question out of curiosity. He just asked it, although the answer was already in OP, just to earn one more post inside the signature campaign.
I reported about 10.000 posts in the last 6 months. More than 7000 are good. But almost 2000 are unhandled. And this is sort of discouraging. But I am still reporting. I don't do it daily, but when I start a "reportimg spree" I report about 1000 posts in a single day.
