It would be good idea to restrict newbs from opening new topic out side of newbies section. That would prevent lot of spam, begging and scam attempts.
It is a good idea. For newbies, we have lots to learn, it is better not to be able to create a new thread. There are a lot of information in the forum already.
creating a thread just for these trashy posts
It would be good idea to restrict newbs from opening new topic out side of newbies section. That would prevent lot of spam, begging and scam attempts.
That would be then unfair for those newbs who are here not to scam or spam but actually learn and want to interact with the bitcoin community. I do think that newbies shouldn't be allowed to create a thread on the market place where scam attempts are happening most other than that, I don't think there are other places where they shoudn't be allowed to participate in.I would go even further. I would change rules so that you can't post anywhere except in the beginners&help section until you don't have a 28 activity points. This would prevent majority of the forum misuse in my opinion!
Well it might prevent it from being spread around the rest of the forum but the entire Beginners and Help section would then just be filled with people spamming rubbish just passing the time till they had 28 activity and it would put most people off if they had to wait a month just to be able to participate in the rest of the forum. That sub was already pretty bad when we used to make them make a few posts and wait a few hours so this would be exponetially worse.
Yes I agree this would trash a begginers&help section. Then again we might ask ourselves a question, should we sacrifice one thread for a good of the whole forum.
Or should we find some other solution, creating a thread just for these trashy posts but then we would essentially not be letting new people post for a month.
I don't know, I am just thinking out loud.

most likely someone that hate this forum, or the admin, or he was banned for reason that he believe are not good enough, to invoke a ban
someone is mad at something, by the look of it

Just cleaned up the front page of which half of it was bot posts.
There are always ways but it's about finding a balance without punishing everyone else to harshley but things are being discussed.
I think it's a good idea. I know a forum that has a restriction to Newbies where they can't post anywhere unless to the specified section where they can ask questions and look around how the forum goes and until they reached a certain Activity, they can't post to an area like Marketplace.
There are pros and cons to it and I'm on the fence whether it should be brought back, but it is unfair and annoying to 99% of people who just want to join in the discussion elsewhere and a shame to have to bring it back just because of the idiotic 1% of spamtards.
I find some of the schizophrenic word salad the bots use to be amusing, but now that crap is cluttering up the forum big time. How do the admins handle that, short of just manually deleting each one as it appears. I mean how can you handle that? Are there other ways?

Bitcointalk had it too, newbie jail was the term, it was removed sometime recently, 1-2 years back, most likely. It would be good idea to restrict newbs from opening new topic out side of newbies section. That would prevent lot of spam, begging and scam attempts.

Pretty much this. My eyes have evolved to just skip past bull shit threads & posts, I don't even really notice them any more, just skip straight past them.

He's doing this manually, you say?
No.The 2 tho, it is obvious that he has a bot involved in this (or group of +10? from different time zone? ) but besides from changing the bot's parameters (from mining to bitcoin discussion), i noticed that he may also created few accounts, i saw same style accounts names that didn't make any posts, was it banned by mods before posting? Or he just manually created it and left it for a reason? I doubt a normal guy plans to join bitcointalk with a weird name like the bot do.
They're usually proxy-banned when he creates them so he has to pay a (small) fee, though he usually creates them in bulk to use whenever he feels like it but they usually get nuked within seconds/minutes as soon as he posts.

Just report it.
Just a troll trolling. They get nuked within seconds so just ignore them.
But what trolling is this? For me trolling is signing in and saying how Bitcoin is doomed and everyone should just sell their coins because it's going to crash, but those guys don't even feel human, it's like automated random gibberish from a bot.
Well they are both bots but these bots probably belong to NLC who normally does post the bitcoin is doomed trolling shit but he's just changed it up now. Not sure why but maybe the randomness is his way of trying to get around being auto-nuked.
Lol at first I thought you meant hilarious as in hilariousandco(Global Mod guy). This has been discussed in: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-spamming-botdifferent-post-style-and-yeah-had-to-make-this-thread-1275923
The agenda is I guess "revenge" , it was previously posting begging threads which were swiftly deleted by nuke bots, but as the content is not changing randomly it has to be done manually, so yeah, to annoy mods.

Oh so it's just to annoy mods I guess, what a cunt.
If it is NLC then he's just annoyed that he got banned for posting the same nonsense and this is just his way of protest but if he's trying to annoy the mods then he's going about it the wrong way seeing as mods get paid to clean up his mess.
He's doing this manually, you say?
No.
Pfft. Not even a fun or a rage troll, just a scuntrazoidal tetrascunt.
