It seems like the actual problem here would be solved, like many of the forums problems, by eliminating signatures. No signatures, greatly reduced incentive to spam, no need to have bots deleting suspected spam.

Or, even better,

- ban any member participating in a signature campaign (and delete all his post history)
- ban any member which participated in the past in a signature campaign (and delete all his post history)
- ban any member which ever wrote "thank you" or similar words (and delete all those posts, but to be sure you teach him a good lesson, better delete his entire post history as well)
- enforce other gulag rules each possible time, in order to make sure that nobody ever dares to break the rules.

BAN, right away

I'm not a friend of deleting per bot, it should be decided manually by a moderator but I can understand the mods here, in some way giveaway congratulations could really get the new "Good project, Sir! When exchange Listing? / When Binance? / When Moon?". If someone really wants to congratulate, sending a PM would be ideal. Just imagine if everyone from a 100 spot giveaway would congratulate the winner and thank the OP for starting his giveaway. Cheesy

Best solution would be Bounty Managers rejecting such posts and most likely the problem would get better.

Obviously, I don't have any insight if / how bad this problem has become, I'm not a moderator, so I'm trusting the mods here.

I don't think so. Most of the campaign managers (at least nowadays) have a minimum post character requirement and stuff like "Thank You", "Thank you for organizing this " doesn't get paid for.

Most people would just add fluff to reach the number of characters:

"Thank you very much for this giveaway. I'm looking forward to your next great giveaway where I'm hopefully participating again.(+and winning (+this time))" - 107 characters +10 +8
"Congratulations to xy (winner). Even despite the fact that I didn't won this time it was a pleasure to participate in your free giveaway (+of a xy coin)." - 106 characters +9
"Congratulations to xy (winner) for winning the giveaway. And many thanks to OP for starting this giveaway, it was a very valuable price (+users could have won here)." - 114 characters +21
...
Cheesy

Bounty Managers should review each post which was made every week and reject those with congratulations + fluff to reach 75 / 100 / 150 characters. But of course, most Bounty managers won't care. Undecided
