They definitely need to do something about the @buildawhale spam. You go on the Sports talk social website and all you see is burn posts. The latest section is the only way you can see any content. Makes sense to why the creator abandoned the project and most of the community is willing to let it die.

I would happily remove sports tag from the posts if their community can’t even keep up with a single burn post a day. I will remove it when I get on a pc, no need to help out if it isn’t even appreciated.
Wow slow down. I am not saying that. I am saying this from an outside perspective. I'm not actively apart of the @sportstalksocial community and am still trying to understand burn posts. What I am saying is on the front page, all I see is burn posts. Which is not good for growth. And we need to do something about that. I have no coding skills. I am just saying what I see and read. Please don't do anything that will destroy the community if it is helping. But please help lessen in some way the amount that show up in treading or front page. I trust that you know what is best for the community, that is why you have my witness vote.
PS There is some that still are trying to keep the community alive, I can pass you names that I saw today in past posts.
I removed the tags, they won't show up again.
Alright. I hope it helps, instead of hurting the community. You are not the only one doing burn posts. I only tagged you because you are a witness that is involved in burn posts and I think there needs to be a discussion on eliminating the spam in trending/front page. From what I have read they are good for inflation but bad if that's all you see. Maybe we need a separate tab for burn posts so they don't end up in trending/front page. And I see a lot of burn posts not follow your example of burning all rewards when posting the same image over and over and sticking to one a day. I have seen accounts post one every 4 hours. I think the burn post abuse is what is destroying the sports community. I didn't mean to offend you, just start a discussion on the burn post problem that I see. If you have any posts or know of any good posts on burn posts that would be greatly appreciated. Have a good one.
there is no need for others to do burn posts, with the comments on each post there is more than enough for anyone to use up all their voting power, any more than that is just bloat.
Then maybe that is the problem, to many doing burn posts.
Isnt that an easu fix for that community or front end?
Not really, it creates a whole new problem.
The accounts that were already doing it have increased there posts and more people have started to make burn posts. We won't truly know the impact for a week or more.
For a bit I was seeing a bit of an increase in price for some. But right now the price is fluctuate, do to high gaps in the buy/asking price. For some the price remains fairly stable do to low gaps in the buy/asking price.
Sports price was not impacted but the burn posts have increased.
Time will tell if it has made things worse or better. But the problem still exists.
Burn posts have been around longer then I have been on the platform. It's just more noticeable now. It was started to reduce inflation but it has created its own type of inflation. So we as a community need to come up with a way to to lessen the impact on our trending/payments. A separate page with a pinned very detailed message explaining how burn post works would help.
