For other members, we can report such posts as spam.

Definitely; I would encourage everyone to report "reserved" posts or ones with ellipses (og kush420 didn't even write a full ellipsis, just two periods, lol) to the mods.

I realize this is probably just one campaign we're talking about here (1xbit), but how can any campaign manager accept an unfinished post for payment at the end of the pay period? I'm a bit out of the loop: who's managing the 1xbit campaign, anyway? It almost looks like the old Yobit campaign style of management, which was to skip having a manager altogether and just rely on post count via an automated bot.

Can I comment here as a "so what".

I rarely venture outside of the few sections I frequent, but if I were an active browser of sections like Bitcoin Discussion or the altcoin sections, seeing people get paid for making a post that consists entirely of ".." would infuriate me--and in the past, it's done exactly that. The years from 2015-2018 to be exact, which is the time I spent on the forum prior to the merit system. I used to get so pissed at these shitposting idiots that I'd tag them as a spammer. You can't do that anymore, but my point is that it's annoying at the very least to a lot of people, myself included.

I think that there are very few people who try to fight spam in general, and when someone uses such insidious techniques, then the matter becomes even more difficult because people have a hard time deciding on any action.

If Theymos allowed me (or DT members in general) to start negging these morons into oblivion, I'd be spending hours each day doing it. Unfortunately, that wouldn't do much good for 1xbit's collection of shitposters, since the one OP pointed out (og kush420) has lots of red trust, and not even for his posting. There's a tag from Vod from a few years ago involving an actual scam by that user, and obviously 1xbit doesn't give a shit about who's advertising for them.

It might help with shitposters in other campaigns/bounties, though. But it's still not a good use of the trust system, hence why people stopped doing it.
