The man with the most ignore boards on the forum - if you only got 1 satoshi every time you wrote that, you'd be a rich man Cheesy

Lol, I didn't think I mentioned it that often but apparently since you noticed it, I'll probably not write about it again.

Don't most members here have a lot of sections on ignore? Maybe I browse the forum differently, but I've been doing it the same way since I registered--my main page for browsing threads is "Show unread posts since last visit" link. If I didn't have 98% of the forum on ignore, I'd be seeing threads in many different languages and all sorts of stuff I don't want to see. As I'm writing this, I'm starting to think I've gone full retard. How do the rest of you browse the forum without ignoring a bunch of sections?

I can say with a degree of certainty that if we have a 100 newbies sign up on the forum, 99 are bounty hunters recycled accounts. That one genuine user who understands how to game the system eventually ends up as a "Newbie in the spotlight" in the forum.

I think you're spot-on about that, because I've noticed some of those spotlight newbies who make a splash very quickly after they become members of the forum. You can tell they put in a good deal of thought into what they're posting, and generally they know how to write.

Most newbies who post in the main English-language sections clearly don't have a good grasp of grammar, spelling, sentence construction, and all of that's on top of the fact that their posts are devoid of anything interesting and usually are very short. That's kind of a dead giveaway that they're just here to earn money.
