In the forum as far as a huge number of farmed-accounts and alt-accounts are concerned, will the lack of opportunities to earn a regular income equate to less spam, less flooding and less merit abuse? The only to know definitively is to allow time but if the spammers leave the forum they will not be missed and that cannot be a bad thing.

Thinking to all the mixer related campaigns we had, majority of the ones I remember were managed expertly and did not encourage spam at all. Many of the users on those campaigns will also be welcome into existing campaigns or have been already.

What action will have a significant effect on spam will be stopping bounty campaigns and signature campaigns altogether.

Chipmixer campaign participants were goats. To be fair, it's the signature campaign manager's responsibility to hire high-quality posters but since some of them are limited to budget and pay a low amount of money, high-quality posters prefer to stay away from such signature campaigns while the manager still needs to hire people and then they are simply forced to hire spammers. High-paying campaigns get rid of spam.

I locked all of the mixer ANN threads I saw, and I put in a number of wordfilters. If I missed any threads, please use "report to moderator".

I think it's time to start serious discussions on how to decentralize the forum, move away from Cloudflare/US servers, or at least reduce the impact of regulatory decisions on the forum.

We don't even have a mobile app. Epochtalk development is stopped.
