Topic: [LIST] ANN threads that are using bumping services - page 7. (Read 7294 times)

Merry Christmas to you, too. And enjoy what's left of 2021! 

Yup, this is what I did and this is how I'll continue too. Actually, I think I said that above, but maybe you did not notice it



I'd like to continue like this until reaching page 1 of this thread. Now I am still here:


I did not have too much time yesterday and today to keep working but I hope I'll resume the cleaning process starting tomorrow or Monday.

Until then, let's celebrate Christmas Merry Christmas to everyone and a special note from Santa to those keeping the forum clean!

That's exactly what I do. Over the last few days, I've been reporting at least 50-60 posts a day from those topics at the bottom of the list. The good thing is that all newbie accounts get nuked. Hopefully, this will at least complicate the bumping service a bit since they have to create new accounts in order to continue.

Interesting, haven't noticed that at all. I guess you learn something new every day.


Just a suggestion: maybe it would be better to start from the end and keep cleaning recently/currently active threads, as majoruty from those from the beginning are abandoned now and that's something I should update on the lost, change the status from active to inactive. Unless you already cleaned the new ones and all that's left is the old spam, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the amount of reports you did in the last few days.

New thread has been added to the list, 💎ALF.Finance💎|PancakeSwap Live Now🚀|ALFGAME soon🔥|x50 potencial🚀🚀🚀. Just another useless crappy meme coin, desecrating the name of the beloved series from the 80s/90s (which I recently rewatched ). I reported all spam posts there so hopefully they get deleted soon.

Today I took care of the following threads (which are all from page 7 of this thread):


UBERSTATE is still work in progress on my side, as it's a huge thread.


Here, the link to "UBERSTATE page 1 links to another topic though - [ANN] [ICO] JACS - Internet 3.0 Decentralized Infrastructure - which needed just a very small cleaning. Maybe bakasabo meant to link another topic...?


The rest of topics mentioned by icopress were deleted. Also, for Matic I think he forgot to add the topic... There were the only ones which needed "cleaning servies".


While cleaning Axentro thread, this post made me laugh




Here, second topic mentioned by bakasabo was also mentioned below by keyscore44.



^About this one, it say I can not access it Maybe it's from a board I have at ignore...?

Total reported posts: 514!
Tomorrow I'll continue with the topics listed on page 6 of this thread.

Yeah, that's how moderation on this forum (and many more) work. I was under the impression that this is what could be happening, but since I only had my own topic ID history, I couldn't really reach a conclussion. Thanks for the confirmation! I'll now have to keep on reporting each and every shitpost I see; not only the ones at patrol

My reports history shows that the topic ID changes after a report has been handled by a moderator (as long as the report status is "good"). I think this is because posts aren't really deleted, but are moved to a sort of trash can, which is not accessible to regular members. I guess every topic has a corresponding, "shadow" topic ID in the database, which contains deleted posts from that topic.

Weird, when I check topic with 5377979 ID, can't find anything, like it never existed, and it isn't archived either.

---

Yep, some  coordination would be a good idea so we don't waste each others time and report posts that have been already reported.


3 new threads have been added to the list: NFTCRAFT GAME, Dogyrace and Axes Metaverse. Enjoy!

Today I took care of the following threads:




Total reported posts: 514!

Again, fewer than yesterday and the day before, but some of these topics were huge so I had to spend a lot of time to properly see which posts need to be reported. I am now at post #134 of this thread and I'll continue taking the listed topics, one by one, still in backwards order (meaning lattest first). I mean after cleaning the topic mentioned at post 134 I'll go to the one mentioned at post #132 and so on.

---

Haha, thanks!


Awww stop being a slacker, Rikafip


Uhm, maybe if someone starts cleaning some topics, s/he could mention here on which ones s/he is working...? For example, tomorrow I'll continue with the topics listed on page 7 of this thread. I am at post #134, as I said before, and I'll try to clean all mentioned between posts #121-#134.

Now it also depends on each one's style of work... For example, if I start cleaning a topic, I am not doing it so only until I see the spammers stop bumping it (meaning to report only the last posts). When I work on a topic I take all its posts, one by one, from the lattest to the oldest, going though all its pages, until reaching page 1. I am doing this so, as I consider that even though the spammers stop after seeing their last posts are deleted, nevertheless, there are still old spam posts inside that topic, which need to be cleaned as well...


Keep them coming!

I tried doing the test the other day, and I come with a result. I admit I was wrong, but I've also discovered the reason why.

I reported a single post in the thread you provided with a similar text to "low value post, likely bumping service". It got of course deleted, but there's a second part to it.

If I go check the link on the report history, I see the following:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5377979.msg58778701#msg58778701  according to that, topic ID=5377979 BUT, on the original thread, the one you linked; topic ID=5375199

I don't know exactly where this change comes from, but that explains why I was under the impression that the whole thread got derailed

Crazy effort, kudos. I've been kinda slacking when it comes to reporting in altcoin board, but can't just passively look you putting so much effort, so gonna reactivate as well!


If we coordinate the efforts, maybe something can be done. From my experience, a lot of projects tend to cancel bumping service if their thread is consistently cleansed from that paid thrash. I doubt that we can run Vitor Services out of the business, but at least we could make their job much easier.

List has been updated with all those threads identified by @FatFork the other day. Keep 'em coming guys!

Thank you and congrats! Keep reporting, padawan

Today I took care of the following threads:



Total reported posts: 706!

Indeed, way fewer than yesterday and the day before, but what dragged me down was the thread of [ANN] YFDAI |DEFI|Revolution in Decentralised Finance | Launchpad, which had 58 pages and someone already reported posts from it, thus I had to properly analyze the leftovers. And, as it had 58 pages, it was not an easy job. However, I reported 448 posts within this topic alone. At the moment, about 300 reported posts from today are still unhandled, but nothing to worry about that.

Let's hope for a more productive day tomorrow

Oh my gosh, that's really impressive! I reported a dozen today.  

But I will keep reporting them so we can keep making a dent.

After another day of hard work, I managed to clean the following threads:

---

2852 total reported posts today -- Hooray!

I took them in order, from 10th page of your topic, then I took the ones from 9th page and now I am on the 8th page.

To be honest I never thought I can report so many posts within a day. Fortunately, mods worked together with me, to say so, thus almost all the posts are already deleted (at the moment of writing this I have 400 unhandled posts from the ones reported today).

I intend to continue tomorrow and next days as well, take all the topics I found mentioned in your thread, cleaning them one, by one, in the order they were mentioned. Now let's hope I'll also still have time for this Wish me luck!

You can easily test it out on one of the threads reported by @FatFork few days ago. Yesterday all posts were deleted, but they restarted again today, doing the same thing, and they even spread on new threads like [ANN] 🎮NFTCRAFT.GAME🎮 Play-to-Earn 🔸 with ~150% APY 🔥All NFT backed by ETH🔥 and [Ann] A dog racing game based on RNG technology and built on BSC - DogyRace!.

As I said, with current rules (or to be more precise lack of), this is nothing but a whack-a-mole game in which we can't win. Sure, it can be a nice feeling seeing all that crap deleted, but more often than not I end up feeling like Sisyphus.

Hmmm, that's odd... I've always been under the impression that the threads I reported this way (reporting directly from patrol) were indeed trashed; will have to give it some more testing once I have time to check the patrol page frequently again....

Ah yes, sorry. All those thread identified by @FatFork were started not longer than 2 weeks ago, so they are probably still live, but from what I can see, all spam posts there have been removed already so I guess someone already did the job.


Yep, I even created topic in meta about that issue but never got an answer from mods/admins. Someone might say that it could be abused by hiring spammers to competition thread in order to get nuked, but I think even that could be sorted somehow.

Hihi, thanks!


Yes, this is sad... this is why we have to do it post by post...

Rikafip, I think you missed a question I asked above:


I want to start working on other threads as well and I need your answer to prioritize them somehow...

---

If only this would work... As you see in Rikafip's reply as well, this easy method (as any easy methods, generally speaking ) just won't work

Damn, crazy report spree, good job. Unfortunately it's the same situation with me, not enough time to be as active on the reporting scene as I used to be, especially when I see forum staff unwilling to nuke whole threads that consist of nothing but paid spam.


Yep, those guys are like cockroaches.

---

Hm, I was never able to get get the whole thread thrashed, unless I reported each and every spam post. And even then, only those paid bump posts were deleted, and not the original post.

You could put something similar to "zero value post, possible bumping service", and that way, you won't have to report every individual post because the whole thread will most likely get trashed. Little tip to save some time
