Spam is starting to get out of control and people are posting very low quality stuff to quickly "get their 10 posts in". (See discussion here.)

Here's what we're going to do:

Posts that get flagged and deleted will get you NEGATIVE Proof of Participation and a loss of LTBc. That's very easy to implement, and we can make it as harsh as necessary. It could even carry over to following weeks and lower your future rewards. There is no excuse for spam.

We might make a post about this when it's up, or we might not. Anyone who is posting spam or useless posts like "me too" or "wow thats cool", consider yourself warned.

The same thing goes for those posting silly threads, or threads that are off-topic.

This measure will reduce spam and leave more LTBc for those who post genuinely good comments.

  That sounds like a great idea to me. Giving both an incentive to post good quality posts, while at the same time incurring a cost for mediocre posts!

  exactly. With how it is right now, its more of an incentive just to post anything rather than contributing to discussions.

  This subjectivity.

  Who decides?

  By what criteria?

  The results we want to achieve will set the criteria. If the penalty is not harsh enough to deter spam, it will have to be increased. Repeat spammers could get bigger penalties on successive occasions. There are lots of ways we could tweak the system.
