Casinos sig campaign has the most signature participants on the forum, and because of the high demand for gambling-related posts from participants, the gambling discussion board has become a haven for signature spammers - why is this? I bet the majority of those who applied to those campaigns had no knowledge of the game, but because the rules require a minimum of 10 posts on the gambling board, most of these users with no knowledge of the game just spam the hell out of the board with low quality and offtopic discussion to complete post counts. I spend the majority of my time reporting, especially in the last few days, but that alone is ineffective.

The concern.



The Solutions

* Is there a way the admin can turn thread to a self- moderated thread and hand it over to another OP who is ready to moderate the thread? I will volunteer ^{I spend 90% of my time there.}

* Is a self-moderated thread the answer? Yes, it reduces spam; consider JollyGood self-moderated threads as an example; zero 1xbit spammers, zero low posts since the beginning of last season, we talked and agreed to keep it clean for quality discussion only, and the result is fantastic!

⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 ^{self-moderated} 356 spam posts deleted

⚽ FOOTBALL: UEFA Champions League 2021/22 Season FINAL Real Madrid vs Liverpool ^{self-moderated} 15 spam posts deleted

Now what threads are the spammers fishing on?

My Suggestions!

• Lock the thread; create a self-moderated thread
• A new thread should be created at the beginning of every season. Old thread locked.
• Admin to convert the already existing thread to self-moderated.

Top gambling board spammers; excluded 1xbit spammers.

These users have zero knowledge of the game(Football) you can check their post history for details!

Gamgling board stats only!!!

N/B: Casino campaign managers should take note of these users. Added to ignore list.

Will a neutral tag with a bold message to these users be sufficient to send a signal to sig managers? Too harsh?
