User ~~pocoorvi~~ Banned! is spamming the Bitcoin General Discussion with locked theads he made containing his scams.

Here's one such link, there are 6 and counting
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54377392

edit: he's still making more threads, he definitely needs to be nuked.

edit2: His threads contain Javascript malware encoded in base64 and obfuscated a second time from the pastebin link he put in all of them:

Code:

https://pastebin.com/raw/gqg8nNdg

Deobfuscate it with this tool https://lelinhtinh.github.io/de4js/, the result looks very sketchy.

Obviously shilling for his website: bitintruder.com. Funny thing is that three of his post will get a 404 error. So 3/4 post is about this website. And then he shills for another, Bitkorona.com.

Does this user fall under the "advertising shill" category? 2 posts so far, but it could easily get out of control if not handled promptly.

It is very sad for me to see that so many posts here are handled, the users get punished, while my 100 reports for an obvious shillig go unhandled, although the shilling is visible from the moon, by anyone, although it is not necessary to know Romanian, although I reported the shilling in this topic as well...

The more time passes by, the more I believe these two users are protected by Cyrus, in a classic Romanian nepotism. I saw in their posts they participated at a live meet-up with Cyrus (or more). Maybe this is the reason...

I reported Coinidiot news so many times since he joined. I usually add the comment "not related to Bitcoin" but in the last report, I added that it should be moved to speculation, like most of the topics he creates.

In my last report which is tagged good, I said something like "coinidol spam" as it was pure garbage, It seems like the mods think the same.

There is another member I dislike, Black09 or Black90 something like that.

Oh, Blacky09, he stopped posting, don't know why as he's not banned, probably not getting paid anymore.

I reported Coinidiot news so many times since he joined. I usually add the comment "not related to Bitcoin" but in the last report, I added that it should be moved to speculation, like most of the topics he creates. Before he was mainly posting weird news but now he turned to a TA specialist.
I started to wonder if he understands at least why his topics are moved or trashed, that's why I modified my report.

There is another member I dislike, Black09 or Black90 something like that. Perhaps less evil but still. He never participates in discussions, he spams the same website over and over and voila.
He makes me think about Vladdirescu87 who did the same

Some (I think that even you !?!) say that it's about time for the press section to be closed down

Yeah. Although the quality of discussion you get on a good article is generally much higher in the Press board than you would get in Bitcoin Discussion (as fewer spammers tend to visit the Press board), the vast majority of new topics posted there are complete trash and are used just as advertising by sites exactly like CoinIdol. If we aren't going to moderate it in line with the stated guidelines (notable, independent reliable sources, not crypto "news" sites or blogs, etc.) then we might as well just shut it down.

I tagged that account 9 months ago for shitposting & so far I'm the only person to do so. Maybe if others would follow suit mods will actually ban him at last?

He has been banned. As much as he was a complete shitposter, I don't agree with using the trust system for that reason.

I seriously cant fathom how this guy isn't banned yet. He posts some copy and pasted nonsense from CoinIdol.com either once or twice a day, every day, in the Press board. He makes no other posts. Every topic he has made for the last 2 weeks has been trashed, except one which was moved to Speculation.

None of us can....
Vladdirescu87 wasn't banned for that either, his saga ended only when he was caught with plagiarism and he had almost 100 posts deleted by then.

Some (I think that even you !?!) say that it's about time for the press section to be closed down and I tend to agree with that if it's a major news article the situation it describes can fit on any other board like speculation, economics, politics. It's no longer a thing that CNN or Fox or Guardian writes about bitcoin, it's not 2010 anymore. Besides, every real discussion that happens in the press section has at least one similar topic somewhere in another area and most of the times it predates the one in the press section.

Oh, and the drawings!!!! Every time I make the mistake of opening those topics and I see those cartons I want to punch the screen.

User: CoinIdol News

I seriously cant fathom how this guy isn't banned yet. He posts some copy and pasted nonsense from CoinIdol.com either once or twice a day, every day, in the Press board. He makes no other posts. Every topic he has made for the last 2 weeks has been trashed, except one which was moved to Speculation. I have reported him 17 times in this two week period, with all of them marked good. Sometimes when his post is deleted, he reposts the exact same article a second time. More often than not, the things he posts are just baseless price speculation. They certainly aren't news, newsworthy, or from a notable source.

If you have every post you make for 2 weeks trashed and you continue with the same behavior, then obviously you don't care at all about the forum or its rules. I've asked in the comment box for this user to be banned countless times. Can a global mod please review? Thanks.

This is a practice that applies to all such cases, only posts that are reported are deleted, which leads us to the conclusion that each post should be reported individually, of course if we want all to be deleted. Depending on who is taking the action (not everyone has the same viewpoint), such users are first alerted by a private message, then with temporarily ban.

I see that last posts from fourthfunction is dated to 22 December 2019, which means that he didn't get a strong enough message to stop. This is probably one of those who think: "You can't delete as much as I can post".

This can vary a lot depending on the moderator that is handling it. Some moderators don't want to have their queues filled up with reports that could have been done in one post. However, whether or not the moderator handling that report goes through all of them which they might have to actively search depends on how much time they have. I usually leave posts to others if I haven't got enough time, but sometimes we are half way through deleting them, and something comes up.

If you notice that this has happened you can always report one of the posts again, and ask for the rest to be cleared up. So, instead of reporting 100, you could report 1-2 in a span of a few weeks if they haven't been handled.
