Re: [List]Gambling Board Spammers; Concerns, Solutions & Suggestions
My brief half of week experience with the gambling section
1) Opened a self-moderated topic about horse racing, the self-moderated stuff combined with the fact that you can't post about Lewandowski going to Barcelona for $50m every week to make your quota and the topic is dead.
2) A non-moderated topic asking about what a trifecta is uncovered in less a day a ton of horse racing gamblers, of course, on paper
Conclusion:
Self-moderated topics won't prevent s&*^
Proposal:
This could be achieved with the cooperation of a few signature managers and with the actual casinos and sports betting websites that really care about people wanting to gamble and not fan talk about Lewandowski going to Barcelona for $50m.
So, how about this change in the criteria of posting x times in the gambling section:
Rather than having 10 out of 25 posts in the gambling discussion section, either keep or erase this altogether but make half of the previous quota to be mandatory about actual gambling.
This means no posts like:
Gambling websites should be interested in promoting talks about real gambling, about their odds, about their winning, and not fan talk about Lewandowski going to Barcelona for $50m, so this requirement would be in their interests.
Would it cut down spam, maybe, maybe not that much but this is clear. It will make spammers work way harder than just rephrasing their last posts from one week ago and it will help a lot in trimming down those who obviously have no clue what they are talking about.
Oh, did I mention Lewandowski going to Barcelona for $50m?

Barcelona bought Lewandowski for $50m and this will be a match against his former team ...more linens of garbage
and more likeQuote
Lewandowski after the last match has only a 1.85 odds of scoring and 5.5 to score twice, and it's just 1.9 for over 3.5 goals for the match, combining one of those with.....
