The viewpoint, that we can't do anything about posting quality at all, that shitposting is getting normailzed, that all effort to increase posting quality is wasted time and that such campaigns, like we did, are getting belittled, IS a dangerous point of view because it's paving the way to a Bitcointalk, where shitposting is something "normal".

I never wrote that shitposting is something normal, and I will never write such a thing.

I've not written that you've said that shitposting would be something normal. I've said, that statements like from you, that we can't do anything against shitposting, will inevitably lead to resignation and as a result, shitposters will be dancing on the table.

That's true but our campaign never claimed to remove ALL of spam, plagiarism, shitposting etc.

OK. Although I once had such a goal, recent innovations in the field of reporting ruined this idea.

It's a noble goal and we should continue to reach that goal, even if it's only one step at a time.

D'accord, BADecker can get banned right away, I don't mind.

There are a lot of political provocateurs in our locale.

We have / had some provocateurs as well. Luckily we got rid of them.

I hope, you'll get rid of them as well. A harsh approach helped us to succeed. Maybe it's helpful for you as well.

Our campaign is just creating awareness, what's important to have a look at for a better posting quality.
And as a Merit source, we have some leverage: reward good posts by giving out Merit. We are not saying our campaign will solve all problems but it's a step into the right direction.
But we need more people pushing for this.
And at that point your "we can't do anything anyways" attitude is not helpful.

As has already been said in our locale, this topic does not contain any real benefits for old participants, and we have almost no newcomers. This is a long-standing local problem related to the blocking of the forum by the Russian authorities. If there are no new users, then for whom should we run your campaign in our locale? There are only old users left there.

Okay, because our campaign is also intended to remind about common mistakes like pyramid quotes, avoiding unnecessary Denglish etc. where also older members are frequently not up to date and commit such mistakes. At least in our German board.

I disagree here.
If that topic to create awareness about the dangers of centralized exchanges, helps one person, it*s already a positive outcome. I'm always surprised how many people still don't know such basics.

Most of the talk about centralized exchanges is that they should be avoided completely. This is too radical advice, you just need to know how to work with centralized exchanges. DEXs also have shortcomings and hidden problems, but for some reason they don’t want to talk about them, constantly presenting DEX as a full-fledged replacement for CEX.

Of course, everyone will have a different viewpoint here. But what I'm finding very helpful, is to make aware, in which ways centralized exchanges can be dangerous. Most centralized exchanges don't have any legitimate license, even Germany's regulatory office (BAFIN, German SEC) doesn't care at all to hold these shithouses responsible. Deposited coins on exchanges are always in danger because we can't send them anywhere, when deposited. Not our keys, not our coins - I can't repeat it often enough.
Newbies should be aware about the dangers of centralized exchanges and the number of posts (also in our local board) about issues with centralized exchanges is quite high and in the end, it is always leading to the conclusion that these Newbies "didn't know about it".
Well, if we can make aware about it, they might know about it, before it happens.
