What's the point of bots creating a lot of these accounts? What do the owners get out of it?
Thanks.
These 2 accounts kept posting the same message every 10 seconds or so.

Not sure if they're bots but they're copying posts.
Generally, you can tell if they are bots by checking 2 or more posts. One post is usually not enough to know for sure.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=22956.msg4800893;topicseen#msg4800893

Not sure if they're bots but they're copying posts.
User Omikifuse has copied several including one of my posts, but he might be doing it manually. Two of them have also copied the exact same posts as previous bots (or people who were copying and pasting).
I very much doubt they're listening to the same obscure songs as some of the other users who posted in that thread.

Little proposition... perhaps could could get a general sense of where the traffic is coming from (through the proxies).. and perhaps ban said countries of origin from being able to register.
That seems a little extreme.
I have a message board of my own that got hit by spam bots, and to solve it, we ended up having discovered the source countries from where the spam was coming from, so we banned those countries, and voila, no more spam. lol. Yeah, it was at the expense of potentially banning some potentially new legit users from those 'banned' countries... but the board was a lot better off without the spam. The people who registered from those "banned" countries had to be manually approved by a moderator or administrator, so we got all the 'legit' users.
tl;dr: Ban countries that spam from registering, by sending them to a "moderating" queue, and manually approve users that mods think are legit. This quickly weeds/purges out the fake accounts.
1 from U.S.
1 from EU
Ban EU and US
you lost 90% of your users
The EU isn't a country and I doubt they'd be silly enough to ban the entire of America. Banning countries probably isn't going to stop spam as I'm sure they'll be smart enough to use a proxy or get around it someway.

For these kind of cases, would it be more efficient to use the "report to mod" function? Or maybe make a PM to you badbear directly?
Or, would you prefer us to make a reply in this thread?

Either or, don't matter much.
Yah. Likely they will be used for sigmature payments later after they reach a good level (of course if they aren't banned)
