Yes, that's true, Decent topic did not use bumping threads, as I mentioned in my
previous post. However, there were thousands of zero-value posts (otherwise I could not have 1200+ posts reported and deleted and Welsh more than 2000), most being useless "pyramidal quotes" or various fights between some users saying Decent is scam and others saying it's great.
From what I remember, only the last few pages of DECENT thread were basically 100% spam done by one of those bumping services. That is, at the moment I identified the same group of accounts working across
six different threadsThe rest was indeed the mix of shitposts, rants and the occasional constructive posts.
Some were also swearing. I reported all those posts, until those from June 2017 and they were deleted. So all had same pattern. This is why I think that, mostly, the mod which flagged those as bad was thinking differently than Welsh regarding spam or not constructive posts or he considered them as being too old for bothering to moderate them...
Yeah that's a common "issue", that while some mod might delete the post you reported, some might mark it as bad or even leave it unhandled. It happened to me more than once and it's not an issue if it's just about a single poist, but ir=t can become an issue like in your case when you are not sure anymore whether to continue reporting posts in that thread or not.
Furthermore, if you actually read the topic, not just those examples posted by me, you'll see those posts (given by me as examples but also most of the other ones as well) as being even less constructive. For example, to understand better what I am saying, look at all posts made by user
holmes70. This guy is delusional and I believe he lost a ton of money with Decent. If you read the remaining of his posts, you'll see that all of them are made in Decent thread and you will notice also how often he changes his mind, calling Decent great a few times, calling it scam other times and so on.
You basically described 99% of the altcoin board threads, it's a total clusterfuck there. That whole section needs either big revamp or just to be locked.
Do you mean you tried to start a discussion about clearing things out regarding what posts can be reported (and have a chance to be deleted) based on the year when they were made? Sorry, I did not understand exactly what you meant here.
No, I referred to @Welsh suggestion about reporting only the first post and then mods clearing the rest of the thread. And I tried that in the past, I reported just the original post on the thread saying that it mainly consists of bumping spam as I hoped that might be enough for mods to take a look and just clear the thread without me reporting each post separately. Nothing happened of course, report remained unhandled.
