Mods - check out the introduction section, bots all around the corner

[hideath]

I won't go and report every thread in there, there are simply too many,
The section is flooded by bots with the same thread repeatedly,
here are some:



the bellow one is a screenshot of the 15th page...

It’s doesn’t help that people are welcoming them and not reporting them.

Because reporting them does not increase post count ;-)

Lol just checked. Roughly ~30 pages of mostly "hello BHW"

Post count should be stop on this section the same as lounge.
See newbies replying to boost their count too. So they farm and post and up their post count.
Stopping the count on this section would kill that instantly. Also saying hello is not really contributing to the forum anyway.

It was suggested before and people that are smarter than I thought it was the wrong move.

I Think they are aging this Accounts and Reselling them after 1-2 Years to people.

Best thing to do is to set up a Mod that will be on the Introduction Section. Any Thread like that should get closed, warned and explained what he should do when he open a Thread.
Especially the first Thread.

You are 2 posts away from being qualified to apply for becoming a mod. Just saying.

I understand what you are saying, but if it contradicts my future plans as a Seller in BHW I think I'll pass the honor to someone else

I'm glad you got my point. Assigning a mod to monitor a single section seem like a waste of quality work force. The fact is that without a proof there's nothing you can do against a new member posting in the intro section.
The differentiation between a spammy post and a genuine one is circumstantial at best.

This was what was happening in @INCC's thread here as well.

I'm going to do what I can to clean this up, and I'll ask the moderation team to keep an eye on the introductions section going forward.
