Title: Seriously what is the point with the 50 post limit?
Post by: blauMaus on February 22, 2013, 08:14 pm
To prove that you can solve 50 captchas?
As you can spam here as you want, this is just stealing the time of the new buyers.
I want to place feedback for the DRUGS i bought and nothing else. what a waste of time.

You can still post reviews and feedback here.  In fact, PrincessHIGH even created a thread for people to post their feedback in and she then copies and pastes it into the vendor's thread for you.

Also, the reason for this 50 post rule is to help us get a better handle on the bitcoin spammer situation.  This way, we have a better chance of noticing them, deleting their scamming posts, and banning their accounts before they are able to spam the entire forum -- it's all contained in this single subforum.

And before you say "well now we have to become spammers to get out!" let me remind you that the people spamming to get to 50 posts are actual members of the community --- the bitcoin spammers, on the other hand, are spamming in order to scam people out of their money.  Big difference between the two types of spam.

yeah, feel free to spam your way to 50 ... you can even start your own thread for it and it'll take less time. 

sorry, i know it is an inconvenience for those who don't like to post much, but it has made a huge, huge difference because we're usually able to catch the spammers before they get to 50 posts ... which means catching them before they are able to flood all of the subforums with their scams.

thanks for your understanding ... +1 karma for that.  :)
