Title: Helping out with spam
Post by: bosshyip on July 14, 2018, 04:45:15 PM
I've noticed a distinct increase in spam posts lately.  Is there perhaps a flagging function that could be enabled on the forums, or any other way that I can help moderators detect and remove these posts?  Or is the problem under control?

I was looking for bounty campaign and found this https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=33238.0
They ask to write 30 post per week. I think such campaigns will increase spam. Need control in this area.
And of course there should be at least 2 active moderators in each section

See again the rules: Qravity said "30 meaningful posts during this period", NOT 30 post per week. Understand it carefully. OK

Bounties definitely aren't the problem, its just people increasing post counts in very lazy ways.  I think we just need to pick up moderation some on topics and responses that are clearly minimal effort.  It's hard though to some degree, because we want to be less strict in general and allow everyone an opportunity to grow with us, but I too have noticed it getting a bit worse recently.

I think they are aware of it only they are lack of personnel to do the task so why not report if you think the post is spam.
