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)

Look at these 2 farmed accounts, posting spam one after the other, almost identical, same lay out, i thought it was copy paste for a minute!
Both on my main list, and on the same sub list, registered 90 minutes apart, nov 19 2015. part of 8 accounts in sub list.

I will never use a bot for the trades becuase i know for sure that allot of people will not be happy with it you know and that is not good when you use bots you
have to
trust the bot and when you cant you wont be able to use him.

All that were posted above are banned, so you can remove them from the compilation or separate it into a *banned* list.

Ahh..

I was about to add as banned to my main list at your (good) suggestion, but now realise these 7 are from different lists.
A compilation of farmed accounts, spotter as "the same owner" by a concerned forum member
Not a block of consecutive accounts. Not a single days registrations. (they are the same farmer, but...)
I don't really want to start marking as banned one by one. Not yet anyway.

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!

Ok, few questions.

You mean like "all 7 accounts" listed in my post above are banned?

Yes.

Quote from: rizzlarolla on October 25, 2016, 02:54:08 PM

Banned just now?
Why?

Not right now, they were banned prior to your post I believe and were part of a investigation of the quoted farmers. BadBear may or may not give you more information on that.

So yes, you are exactly right. They are the same person - the same farmer.
And he does have hundreds more accounts (listed p10) and many more (not yet listed)

651671 Hedrilin, yup, on main list, p10!
648404 DixieCrayon, yup, on main list, p10!

They are all the same farmer. You are not checking my list! (or are you!)

197481 phreaky, old account. Joined Dec 20 2013, Posted once in 2014, then probably sold or hacked, started posting again April 13 2015.
Slowly ranked up in 2015, then joins seconds trade sig campaign Jan 2016 then starts spamming the forum.
All the traits of the farmer. This account was sold to or hacked by the farmer, i strongly suspect. Not yet proven.

Interesting find. I'm always ready to listen to queries. Keep me posted.
But please check the main list to aid your research and save me time checking!

There is one specific guy who has been quoting and replying to his own posts in such a flagrant behavior that it makes me sick. I wonder if you could find him on your own. If not I could give you some joker to make it more entertaining for you.

P.S. It's not me but he frequents a sub-forum I am active in.

Hey guys, there's an account farmer on the forum! Can you believe it?! I'm not going to help at all by telling you who it is, but I assure you that there is one!

Because I am too busy spamming my signature for the weekly pittance obviously Grin

I have been observing the posting behaviour of certain active posters, and it looks like these 4 accounts belong to the same person. I am sure this person has much more accounts.

Perhaps that you can dive into it if you have the will and time to do so.

The first 3 are already on my main farmer list. (page 10)
The farmer registered HilbillyFred Nov 9 2015, along with 8 other accounts in that session,
The same farmer registered rektDude and Legasean the day after on Nov 10 2015 along with 9 other accounts in that session.

I'm sorry I missed Ybalevia! (and Adrayrd)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/adrayrd-642924 Adrayrd (270)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/ybalevia-642933 Ybalevia (243)

That is 22 accounts created in 2 days, (+ 4 others listed from earlier in the day on nov 9 = 26)

So yes, you are exactly right. They are the same person - the same farmer.
And he does have hundreds more accounts (listed p10) and many more (not yet listed)

Yes, it is allowed.

Like vague rule number 1, "1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads."

That's the thing. People with multiple account or even just one account in a sig campaign creates a lot of these posts.

You see it almost every time there's a new topic: entire pages filled with one-/two-liners, all adorned with a lovely little signature advertising some gambling/trading/ponzi site. And all of hem are usually iterations of the one guy that actually posts an answer to the OP's question.

While you and hilarious have to pretend your "fighting spam".

I can't talk for hilarious, but I do not *have to* do anything, nor am I doing what you're accusing me of. That's the thanks that one gets.

Update: That makes *more sense* now.

You should try discussing the situation and options with Cyrus.

Er, not being funny but... shouldn't Cyrus be trying to discuss this with me?

I don't mind entertaining the last few real members with this thread.
Making a mockery of admin/global mods abilities... mockery of bitcointalk.
400 accounts so easy to spot, a child could find them. (if they had the tools theymos has, but wont help us with)
400 more farmed accounts yet to be published? Growing by the day.

I'm doing Cyrus/theymos work here despite them.
While you and hilarious (and us members) have to "fight spam" with one arm tied behind our backs.

Just thought they might have been interested. hey-ho.

down to

Handled both of these. I think that you should create your own thread as this is different than the intended accounts being reported. These are usually spambots (backlink spam and whatnot), while OP started reporting sig. spammers and heavy account farmers.

This thread is too big as it is.

Done.

Have created a thread: Spambots (backlink spam and whatnot) - ie Zombie Accounts ^TM over yonder: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/spambots-backlink-spam-and-whatnot-ie-zombie-accounts-tm-1660106 and will work on listing there the ones identified and nuked. Thanks for the suggestion.

You'd have to take that up to Cyrus and Theymos.

Do I really have to do that? it is pretty clear they dont give a crap, or they have me on ignore.
Seem's a bit daft creating another thread, just to be ignored again.

Theymos is usually too busy and overwhelmed by PMs to respond. You should try discussing the situation and options with Cyrus.

No input from admin/global's..

There's only 1 active global moderator at this time (hilariousandco) and they did respond here I think? They are also helping tackle spam elsewhere. I respond here often as I'm very strict regarding spam and as a patroller, there's only so much to do during the day.

Those spreadsheets i asked for would cut my work time down my 100x, but no interest from admin so far.

How little interest do admin have here, they couldn't make it any harder for us
