Probably easier than plagiarism (to some extent)... if you look for overlapping Twitter/Facebook accounts or Bitcoin addresses then I think you cover a wide berth. This can also be automated Wink

Those are the easier cases! It's when you start diving deeper with the individual linguistic fingerprints that we all have. Some are easier than others. Obviously, this isn't really enough to go by on its own, but when combining with other data the user has posted could prove to be useful. I think I've only done this a couple of times in the past, and that was back when I was reporting. I remember years back I looked at the type of language this alt ring was using, their login times, and all sorts. If my memory serves me correct they didn't have any addresses posted publicly. They were then banned. I've yet to do this as a moderator though as it just takes so much time, and without any other data backing it up its a waste of time.

I know someone who has probably more than 50k good reports now, but I won't reveal his name.
A few months ago he had 48k.. and he is not a bot.
Here is the proof (if he didn't photoshoped it)

Hmm the image quality is bad, I don't have time to find out why, here is the link to the image.

I would have avoided sore thumbs, and aching arms from sitting in awkward positions trying to report as much as I could. I used to dedicate hours a day to reporting manually, and not a single on of my reports was automated. The machines really are replacing us!

I feel you.

I just copy and paste my comments from word, choosing from my 8 pages of possible reasons.

Looks like we might have a decent race to 100k with a few other horses racing. If only there was a prize?

If I'd get there first you wouldn't hear the end of it. I'd replace my personal text or even the PSA in my signature with something inappropriately ostentatious in reference to such a glorious achievement.

Dosnt matter what you report or how many you reporting !
Fact is that always to much users looking just on things when they see some spam , the most users dont care if there is a post with " Good Project " or a post that is a few times the same post in an thread !
More users should just hit the report to moderator button .
For sure the normal reporting guys hit that button when they see some kind of post .

What i have seen the last weeks we get a problem with ANNs that have Malware behind the Links you read for wallets and github things , and its a bit time intensive for check all the links and thats what i am doing at the moment .

I'll put up 0.01 BTC if when someone beats me.

(at least this will give me another incentive to report more

Yeah, plagiarism takes a lot more investigation, but there's also a few other issues such as busting alt accounts that have been banned. They also prove to be difficult, and can be a time consuming act.

Aye. I would even say that 1 good plagiarism report is equivalent to that of 200 low-quality post reports... if not more.

The main reason why I have garnered my series of reports is because I track down users and threads with consistently bad posts. If someone did the same but only sought out plagiarism, I would personally put their contributions above mine.

Finding crap posts is easy, plagiarism takes more time or involves having some program running to do it for you. For the average person, unless you have a lot of time I don't think it's that simple.

If I'm wrong and there is quick and simple way to find plagiarism, please point it out to me. On my own, I could not find a quick & simple way.

Thanks,
Dave

You're right on the money with that. The best you could do (without complete automation) is to create something to check specific posts against search data but if you've already gotten that far, you should just automate the process.

Whereas I can just hit a button for a page of spam, plagiarism detection requires a hands-on approach, especially if the user decides to subtly mask it (e.g. thesaurus flip, paraphrasing, or sentence swapping)

My guesstimate would be that there are more than 5 users with 15k+ reports now. Although, I think the leader of reports is quite a bit ahead of everyone else, and if they're not then I'll be impressed as the figures I was hearing are absolutely insane!

It isn't all about quantity though. Sure it looks impressive, but quality also is a major contributing factor.

If you are reporting harder to identify posts as well as the easy stuff you will likely get a personal thank you! That's not to say we don't appreciate users who report the easier to identify stuff like spam too though!

If those figures are for the past year (2018), total reports of top reporters likely significantly higher at the moment, because with spam waves from Your; ban wave from plagiabot; I do believe reporters do make more reports recent months.

Lets just say I know for a fact that someone else has higher reporting statistics than me at 39k, although I stopped reporting once I was made a moderator back last year apart from the odd one out of my jurisdiction. Apparently I've now been left in their dust Wink

I'm not too concerned about bad reports, and I'm actually surprised there aren't more of them, but I have reported a lot of wrong language, wrong section, and obvious spam posts. The low-value posts are always a crapshoot as to whether a moderator is going to agree with you or not.

I have 263 bad reports, and now that the new system out where bad reports are actually shown you'll be able to guess why, and hopefully improve upon that. Honestly, bad reports aren't that big of a deal.

I admit it I have been a slacker in this been a member for over 5 years, and for most of them have only reported a post here and there.

I've been slacking for months as well, but I've reported quite a few posts this year--not as many as last year or the year before, though. I stopped seeking out shitposts to report once the merit system was implemented, but whenever I browse through Bitcoin/Altcoin Discussion (which isn't that often), I usually stumble upon some turds which I dutifully report.

This is my reporting history:

Quote

You have reported 4289 posts with 99% accuracy (3796 good, 65 bad, 428 unhandled).

A few weeks ago I got a bit more serious about it. And now I am in the 100+ club.
Still lame compared to a lot of people here, but I now try to report to mod every time I am here.

As of now:

You have reported 107 posts with 100% accuracy (105 good, 1 bad, 1 unhandled)
