Low Quality Posts & LQP Penalties: How to deal with shitposters

[ALT Legendary]

This is still very easy to rank up on this forum especially if you don't spam. If you are quality content poster this is enough to post frequently to be hero member in few months. I think this is good and Admin is doing great job adding all new features, requirements and penalties. This all will help to grow this forum in steady and healthy way.

Finally I feel like I am having some companion on this forum. Thanks for your feedback on this topic plus on the other topics as well.

There is a saying This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

There is always some people that will try to cheat the system,

On this forum as you might have noticed we have an easy ranking up system, no waiting for several month to rank up ...
this led some to abuse of the system just to rank up, giving these people negative karma will not push them to improve their contribution.

For example, i have came accross many account that reply by 1 or 2 words, just to increase the post count. Even one account was replying "this is great" for practically everything ...

We can not let this pass by, that's why i am introducing the low quality penalty.

If you find such a member, please pm me, or send him a link to this post.

The penalty will be the reduction of posts count, thus loss or reduce in rank.

Anyone posting low quality replies very frequently or bumping threads with duplicated content or quoting of previous text, will suffer from this penalty.

My advise:
If you want to rank up, there is absolutely no problem, and i have nothing against that, but rank with quality posts, not shit posts!!
Best option:
1- Post questions/ answers in your local language section.
2- Contribute in discussions give your opinion.


update:
quick replies and posts with few words are no longer counted.

I have seen a lot of post in this forum with meaningless point just for rank up this will be consider it because they are newbie into crypto world.

Admin, shall we report such a low quality poster and put in report that he should be punished with low quality penalty or report straight to you via PM. Because I don't think that  moderator has the ability to execute this penalty so he has to inform you about this, correct?

You can do either one. When you report a spam or a low quality post, we always check post historic from user. If he/she is a frequent spammer or shitposter we pass the case to Admin.

Thanks for this explanation Claudio2. I'll have to wait for report button to appear again to continue my Crusade against spam. This is so annoying to read  two words answers 70% of the time. Low quality penalty should be enforced with full confidence and determination if spammer has been detected.

don't report the 2 word replies, as they no longer count in post count, and just generate false urgency

What will happen with all this spammy two words posts? If we don't report them there is a big chance that they won't be deleted because moderators don't find them.

time is the most valuable thing,
i do not want to waste the time of moderators just to hunt down comments with little value.
1- it is unfriendly
2- it's a waste of time
3- it takes time from more important tasks

I understand reasons behind such a decision about spam. After thoughts, I think, I know why you don't want to delete this posts Admin.

I close my eyes to spam and we come back to this discussion later on when AltcoinsTalks forum will be more recognizable and trample on the heels of the competition ie BTT.
