In the last few days, I have reported about a dozen such cases from two users, so although all the others are (so far) unhandled, one is marked as bad which I consider as a kind of message that such posts should not be reported.
This is a very used MO to start a new thread. I bet there are tens of thousands of similar looking ones. I have mixed feelings regarding them but since some of them, at least, have 1 page of replies or more I might be inclined to also leave it alone.
The fact that this particular user, Wimex, has ALL of his posts like this is the real issue. Not a single reply in one of his started threads. Only bounty campaign and cointelegraph links. I might not like that but on the other hand he did receive 45+
merit in the last 120 days for such threads so...
And regarding
Coinshots ...the fact that (s)he was not even adding links in the first few posts makes me think it's not really shilling.
We are a news aggregator and we distribute crypto news as and when it happens, earlier we were just posting the snippets but some BTCtalk users asked us to post links too hence we are adding links.
do let us know if posting links is against forum rules.
Our mission is to distribute updates as they happen.
