Deleting individual posts in isolation does nothing. A sig spammer is always incentivized to make more, and can churn them out just as fast as we can report them. If you start doing something which will actually affect their income - temp bans - then they may be motivated to change. If after multiple temp bans they are still not motivated to change, then a permanent ban provides no loss to the forum.

That sounds good to me.

The problem is the rules need something between a slight adjustment and a complete overhaul. A lot of posts are empty calorie garbage but don't technically break any rules, thus they're not likely to be deleted and I'm not likely to report them.

Has anyone got a blank copy of my cryptohunter bingo card? I'm travelling away from home right now. This post might be our best result yet!

Speaking of giving equal footing to the mentally ill. I was almost tempted to take him off ignore but nah. Can't recall ever thinking "that was a good move, glad I did that" as a result.

Ah, the new global mod pipes up.

I don't know why anyone here including notildah believes that anyone who's not a not a broke down no coiner bum that needs to eat DT ads cares at all about your ignore list.

So once again mr prospective mod why don't you pick something I've said and try to debunk it or even form some semblance of a rebuttal rather than running away hiding behind the old mental Illness, trolling etc

Another mod? Let's get one mod that actually dares to present a robust case for their actions that can withstand transparent analysis and probing without collapsing to reveal it is just the actions of a person looking out for their own financial interests and just doing what is required to remain part of the meta human centipede riding on the merit = trust = darkstar hhampuz yahoo self serving gravy train.

How about some objective standards that are transparent and clear to which all members are measured equally ?

The examples given by nutildah are clearly not even realistic.
That bot generated post is clearly not sneakily weaving it's way through loop holes in the rules.

It is low value meaningless rubbish and would be deleted instantly.

However the post to which i refer is not as low value as many that get merit, many of the posts by DT, mods, merit sources are provably false and have previously been conclusively debunked. I mean their posts are trolling and in many cases a form of scam facilitating.

You don't need more mods, you need independently wealthy mods that dont need to spam sigs, dont require payment and are objective and honest and under no pressure to befriend or side with scum bags to continue eeking out their dust here.
Mods that can field robust, credible and transparent arguments and reasoning to justify their actions.
If their actions are not based on objective and robust reasoning that stands up to scrutiny they are not suitable as mods.

It really isn't that difficult.

The best part for the objective and discerning reader here is that whenever there's an independently verifiable but inconvenient truth or any form of argument they cant cope with the DT fools start boasting they will place you on ignore? as if that makes them appear anything but pathetic and corrupt. Then say oh its lovely and peaceful in our provably corrupt and pathetic echo chamber. The back slapping human centipede just continues to entertain.
