thus there will be a 2 step solution:
1- users posting incentivized posts are required to post in the section for that:
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=355.0
if not mods are asked to move their posts there.
2- New users over doing it, and not in the proper section, will have their posts moderated
Now that there is a section created for incentivized postings, why not just trash those posts or comments made by old or new users in other sections? It does not look right that mods spend time to search then move them in the right section and the users still gets paid. Trash it so they they won't get paid. I think they'll learn that way.
The bounty stakes are distributed weekly, so trashing anything older than a week wouldn't make any monetary difference. When the post gets moved the links don't work anyway (unless it's a topic) so it has the same effective in that sense. I did otherwise use the bounty thread to move about a months of spam to help clean up the forum. I don't spend time looking for it, it's all signposted for me don't worry, users watched and warned etc. Only two weeks left until end of bounty can't wait.
I think they are learning; their bounty spreadsheet looks like a disaster at the moment full of red. The negative karma users have (finally) been told to stop spamming by management, many missing and demonetized posts, higher ranking members here have voluntarily chosen to move on after warnings.
I like the IP section though, I think it could be useful for newbies to see which projects are being shilled and to "stay the f**k away from".
