This means they will run out of worms in the can sooner or later.

They won't, as it costs exactly 0 to make new account. They have so many accounts at their disposal that even if you just tag them, they will ditch those and start using new ones. They won't be stopped by that evil fee thing as well, as they are professional spammers that are doing this for years and will easily find new clean IP to make more. Rinse and repeat as long there's interest in what they offer.

I'm pretty sure some of them will be used for bump spam later on. Bump spammers could even have outsourced account creation and buy them in bulk.

That could be the case as well, as I saw Vitor Services using newbie accounts created back in 2012/2013 and awoken in 2020/2021, which made me think that they are buying those accounts from someone.

What still surprises me is that they keep using older newbie accounts, that they awake when needed instead of brand new ones.

If I have to guess: that's because older Newbie accounts are less obvious to detect as bump spammers, and it's easier to activate accounts "from stock" than it is to create new accounts (with captcha and possible units of evil).
So in quiet times they have prepared a bunch of accounts without units of evil, and whenever a "buyer" needs them they just open a can of ~~worms~~ Newbie accounts.

This means they will run out of worms in the can sooner or later.

edit: Yes, I understand what you mean, LoyceV. A bunch of new accounts are created every day, but at some point they must run out of the old accounts they prepared without units of evil.

...as far as I can see the same accounts were active in the other threads you specified. I assume the report yielded results or are recognized as alt accounts by a previously banned user.

Yep, mods are banning those sock puppet shilling accounts regularly but problem is that "marketing agencies" (most likely Vitor Services) are using newbie accounts and we all know that they can make as many as possible of those, which they are doing. What still surprises me is that they keep using older newbie accounts, that they awake when needed instead of brand new ones.

@Rikafip, there are a lot of newbies posting and bumping this thread, so it's likely that it has been using the bumping service:

ANN thread: [Ann]Game X Change-the future of game asset exchange!

Yeah, obvious case of thread bumping as some of the accounts used are doing the same thing in four other announcement threads:

[Ann]ZERONAUTS- a platform for the assessment of the stability of cryptocurrenc
[ANN] Nafty - The big token for the adult industry!
[Ann]KMT is the largest Complete Decentralized Token!
[Ann] The First Quantum Based BlockChain - Quattro Tech!

Thread bumping scene is alive and kicking but I kinda gave up on reporting those as forum staff is not willing to do anything about it even if whole thread is filled with junk and useless one-liners. Altcoin section is a total mess anyway, and no spam reporting can make it any better so I focused my efforts on other parts of forum like Bitcoin Discussion, which is also kind of mess and filled with signature spam.

Several new announcement threads been added to the list ( and spam reported) of those that are using bumping services. Based on their M.O, it seems like they hired notorious Vitor Services which is by now a household name here on bitcointalk. Whack-a-mole game goes on..

[ANN] OUDToken - Real Green Cryptocurrency | PRE-ICO TOMORROW 🚀
[Ann] MELD- the first DeFi, non-custodial, banking protocol

After scamming a lot money in the past until now and want to clean their bad reputation by run signature campaign, review contest, and now they hire brand new user to bump their ANN thread (or possible he's created bunch of those alts)

For some reason 1xbit hasn't been added to the list up until now, but that will be sorted. Their ANN has been shilled by quite some time now, but based on their M.O it looks more like they made those sock puppet account by themselves rather than hiring one of those "marketing agencies". After all, it costs exactly 0 to create new account, and once it gets tagged/banned, they just create new ones. Rinse and repeat.

Another ANN thread that high likely use bumping service considering it a self-moderated topic and there a lot of newbies (most of them got banned already) trying to bump it

ANN thread: [ANN]The Standard Protocol is a decentralized finance (DeFi)
Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20210706221620/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5346012

Yep, no questions about it, another case of thread bumping. Looks like a classic M.O of a notorious Vitor Services, as they are using newbie accounts created years ago. Its good to see that mods started banning those accounts, but unfortunately it seems like this "marketing agency" has unlimited amount of old newbie accounts accounts. I wish I knew how they managed to get so many of them..

Anyway, Standard ANN thread will be added to the list.

Thread - [ANN]ClikPad: World’s first Multi Chain Powered AI Launchpad for IDO,IFO & NFT

There are using copper member accounts with some striking similarities

Yep, another thread bumping case, but it's really weird to use Copper Member accounts for this. I wonder if @Crypto Sajib is an alt account of that well known scammer Kazi Sajib. Since he sees bitcointalk as a milking cow, I doubt that he stopped operating here. Anyway, ClickPad added to the list as well.

Rikafip, here are a few more candidates to add to your list:

A bunch of newbies trying to bump up topics with a fake interest in projects.

Damn, nice catch. An obvious case of thread bumping and I would really like to see the way the still manage to sell this service to naive clients that think this kind of promotion actually works. Gonna update the first post either tonight or tomorrow, as its going to take me some considering that your identified 20_+ ANN threads. Cheesy

New candidates to your list.

Yep, all those altcoin projects are undoubtedly using sock puppet accounts, and most likely from the same "marketing agency". I will add them a little bit later tonight, and also tag some of those accounts. Not sure if that would even make any difference as they will like;y either just continue, or start using new accounts. It's usually whack-a-mole game with them.

New candidates to your list.

[ANN]Gaia - is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

Bunch of newbies (isaconly, gokhanka, extawhodump, lavane1578, liobersubsdes and other) showing unfeigned interest to the project. What could possible be wrong? But the wrong is, same newbies are showing same interest to [ANN]My Lotto Coin-Designed to empower players and disrupt unjust classic games, [ANN]BSCCROP is the 1 Business Services Ecosystem Designed to Launch Blockchain and [ANN]SafeMoon Inu - the first dog to ever explore the galaxy. Topic design even looks identically, not to mention it is self-moderated. It is obvious that these projects are trash. Some of them dont even bother creating webpages.

Just found another two candidates for Rikafip list.

Found this gang posting only positive in same topics [ANN] CafeSwap a Yield Farming and Staking Platform on BSC Chain and [ANN] Work Quest - Global End to End Jobs Marketplace Powered on Smart Contract. The style topics are created also look identical. I think the idea of both topics are attract users and sell them valueless tokens that are trade on "swap-like" place.

Good find, both of those threads are shilled by sock puppet accounts, no question about it. While checking their post activity, I found at least two more announcement threads that are doing the same:

[ANN][MORA] Meliora Finance Official Thread!!
[ANN] [$FREN] Frenchie Official Thread!!!
[ANN] YFDAI |DEFI|Revolution in Decentralised Finance | Launchpad 🔥🔥

Quote from: bakasabo on May 04, 2021, 03:58:15 AM

Both topics were created by Legit_Alt+, so it is better to put him on control and check his future topics for using bumping services.

Yep, you can pretty much expect that his future ANN threads will be shilled the same way, as that's the way they usually operate.
