We all wondering how we will curb the level of spamming on this forum but we have not realize this. One thing I have noticed about bounty campaigns is that, they are all having vast differences in the number of post that signature campaigners should post for their weekly stakes. Some wants 10 and others 15 some even wants 20 looking at the number of characters they want us to post. Although I am not saying signature campaign is bad but what I think should be done by the forum mods is that they should give an announcement out which will limit all signature campaigns to 10 posts and that will partially help solve the problem.
Mods aren't linked with any campaign. Therefore, they don't have power over it. Well maybe, if the mod's managing it well he could possibly do so. Or the mod can remove the thread if it got too out of hand.
They are concerned about all these crappy post, really and they can address that matter, that's why Merit system was introduced in the first place.
This is because when someone joins a campaign and they want 15 post and the person joins 2/3 days to the close of that week, the person tries to post all the 15 posts thereby spamming the forum with so many post within the 2 or 3 days.
Is posting 15+ post a day really that bad? No.
What's bad is, within those 15+ posts there are few to none quality post.
Also bounty campaign managers should make sure that anyone who joins their campaign 2-3 days to the end of the week will not receive stakes for that week unless the person waits for the start of the following week.
Well, i suppose you can pm a bounty manager and suggest these to them. There's no post ranting here in meta.
If all these are done I think it will help reduce the spam on this forum.
If all these was done, there'd still be tons of crappy post in the forum. Reporting it to mod would be another way to counter those spam, but this would be a lot of work for the staffs, we need to find a way to nuke those.
