I am member of the cryptotalk forum. Let me share some insights of their 1 BTC posting competition.
The beginning was by another member- https://cryptotalk.org/topic/16609-unusual-statistics-in-post-deletion
Later, I took some closer look onto this.
According to that stats, it's almost sure that the moderators are manipulating the contest. All the moderators are Russian and they are not deleting Russian Posts at all. You can check the stats there,

Aren't they spamming? Posting 100+ posts daily isn't easy, impossible in fact, and they are spamming, no doubts.

Here is stats of one user.

I think this is relevant when a person himself learned about the crypt, got some success, saw a native and his eyes began to burn. (I got closer and it was) Immediately, of course, there was a desire for close friends to tell and convey all these sensations that crypto is a bomb!)

So, according to my stories, friends entered the world of crypto, someone just said no, all garbage is uninteresting. True, successes did not work out, altzyme began and most simply left the market, and never returned. True, now when there was a growth in the cue ball - one of them tried to ask questions a little. And this is to the point that so far there is such a tyagomotin - for many its not interesting, when we go 20k there theyll run to buy a trip with pleasure 😂

How are you with a similar theme?

PS. The main thing is to immediately say that its a risky business, otherwise you can lose friends.

This topic got 47 pages of reply, no spam there Cheesy

I am not saying that English section generating spam. Of course it does, but Russian section also generating a lot of spam while Russian spams are not getting deleted, English is being deleted all the times.
It's obvious that there forum moderation is in question. Moderators are manipulating the contest, probably for their self benefits, who knows.
I would post it in cryptotalk but it seems moderators and the new admin doesn't want discussion on it, may be because it help force them to delete the posts from Russian spammers.
