I think part of the problem is us managers and our requirements for posts in the gambling sections. I only ask for 5 when managing a gambling sites campaign, but some ask for 10+. Not that 5 is much better.

You get these guys needing to make a quota each week and they know the gambling discussion board is a spam fest. Half have no clue what they're commenting on and those that do have a clue are covered by a river of junk, so it's hard to even spot a decent post in the section.

I've noticed people are getting pretty desperate lately and are opening threads like the history of bingo https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419869.0 or multiple other topics about history of blah blah. I'm not gonna call out everyone whom I think has opened a shit topic that they know is going to be a spam fest, but it's definitely an issue.

As a manager I will lower my gambling section requirement to 4 per week. It's not much but it is better than not lowering it at all. Hopefully some managers will follow suit and lower the requirements as well.
