I'd appreciate it if my name was taken off this list.

I only have 1 account and hate account farming in any way, shape or form Sad.

These have got to be connected to each-other (even if they aren't connected to the two above)

(and the blah is where I cut the rest of the quote out)

Lauda,
Were only those 7 accounts banned together, or were they part of a bigger group banned at that time?
bump.
I missed this question before. Yes, the accounts were part of a larger group I believe, but I do not have access to the specific information regarding this. BadBear/Cyrus could tell you more, should they choose to.

That's my story .I bought some accounts before to sell and i think all of those accounts are in your farmed list .
The last account that i bought is from a different account farmer and i saw the account he use to sell those accounts until now.

This is the first account farmer ,
But he is wise enough as i conclude that the accounts that i bought have no similar usernames with his other accounts .
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/republic-of-coin-628183 Republic of Coin

This is the second farmer ,
On my observation his account are likely some of the usernames on the list .
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/next-billg-639394  Next BillG
vurasasog,vasrasus,vatusasid etc that starts with that same words and a jumbled vowels.

Thanks for posting,

they are likely the same farmer. these "seller" accounts are liable to neg trust, and are disposable.
Next BillG account sells accounts with similar names you say, vurasasog,vasrasus,vatusasid, yet was created on a unsimular name list himself.
(see link to Next BillG above post)

the same farmer changing his "account naming style" as cover.
first long double barrel names, then any name, then similar names vurasasog,vasrasus,vatusasid, then alphabet names. our farmer is OCD.
it fooled admin and the mods. it don't fool me.

I think it is clear above accounts are connected to those i listed (wintermeasures list) for sept 7, 10.22am, 4 days later to the minute!
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16658179
All their names are similarly long 2 word joined. All lower case, no gaps or numbers.
I have noted their post history's.

then clearly connected to sept 8 list which includes Next BillG. (see first link)
and the next days list, and the next, and on and on...

I believe these 2 new threads,
Wings Spammers             https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wings-spammers-1663854
Russian Political Posters    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1666048.0

are explained by this post, the mr green list.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16405201

A (likely) new farmer. Russian, mainly in the Wings campaign, or Ark campaign, or ranking up.
There is also a (likely) new Chinese farmer.
(i strangely have "some" evidence to link both these farmers, and our original farmer, not conclusive)
My linked post connected accounts created on June 5 and 6, 2016.
I have found others, Russian farmed Wings sig accounts, from June 5, (yet to post)
and even more Russian farmed Wings sig accounts, and Chinese farmed accounts on June 6 (yet to post)

I have seen, and started to compile many new lists involving above farmer(s) creating accounts on many days in June 2016.
Not having any help off theymos or any admin here, i have no spreadsheets for this period. It's like working blind, thanks guys.

I know this farmer carries on after June. (i also know it carries on prior to June, back to my jan lists)

I have found a list for as recently as October 10, 2016. Russian farmed accounts, too new to be in Wings sig?
I'm not linking them here and now, but as evidence for any interested readers that farming still goes on unchecked, here are some of those farmed u=# from October 10, 2016

Please leave your posts, and any others you move as links to your thread. Funny how these things can come back together.

That joke... clean over my head.  Cheesy

With BBS' being on dial up, the flat-mate would trip over the phone cord and you would loose the connection - meanwhile on your PC's screen if you were using TELIX or BLUE-WAVE or similar, you'd get ^^NO CARRIER to signify you'd lost the connection.

I will wait and see if BadBear turns up here in the next day or two to thank me and supply the spreadsheets i requested with info on the investigation of the quoted farmers, maybe a strategy! Maybe BadBear will post a new list of farmed accounts (with evidences) he has found!

I don't share information like that. It just gives them more information on what to avoid, and what not to do. They read this board too.


Why not share it just with the people that have proven they would use it for good. (like rizzlarolla)

That's what's know as a back-handed complement...

"there's obviously a big difference between people using multiple accounts to post on the forum and people creating hundreds or thousands of accounts "
Exactly.

"It's technically not against the rules."
There is no specific "farmer" rule, but there are other rules. No spam. No low quality posts.
How is it possible to own and post with "hundreds" of accounts and not be low quality spam!
Mods will judge each as an individual!

There is another rule. If 1 account is banned, all his alts are also banned.
"it is not the account, it is the farmer person.

Bit lame.

No info, no spreadsheets, no list, no thanks, no help.

They have been untouched for a year. How long were you going to leave it?
lol, give them info like don't create long lists of accounts with names starting A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,J,K,L,...
or don't create long lists of accounts with names starting A,B,C,D,A,B,C,D...

So blatant. They are not hidden.
it is hard to be random, bitcoiners know that? and this farmer failed spectacularly.

To be random would take real time and effort from the farmer, likely making his operation unprofitable.

Not really a fan of mass banning accounts based solely on a pattern.
-snip-

Why not?

Is account farming(.) Allowed?

(sorry if this has been answered already - and I'm not trying to be a smart ass here)

Multi accounts are allowed so by design account farming on multiple accounts is allowed, no? It's what people do with these accounts that warrants a ban or not. But accounts are evaluated from a pretty much subjective point of view so what appears a bannable offense to me might not be the same for you.

I have no understanding of modding forums so don't listen to what I am saying  Grin

Yeah, from Badbears responses you may be right.  It's technically not against the rules.

But there's obviously a big difference between people using multiple accounts to post on the forum and people creating hundreds or thousands of accounts to sell to other people.

Making farmed accounts worth less should really be the goal ultimately, banning bunches of accounts might be annoying for the farmer, but I don't think it will affect their prices much.  Would probably be better to get a list, keep it private and let them know 20 random accounts were getting banned off the list every day.

Wouldn't be helpful if I did, it's mostly private information he can't access anyway. I can't help with the spreadsheet.

Not really a fan of mass banning accounts based solely on a pattern. It's a good starting point/correlation though, I've banned a few thus far (couple hundred total).
