Topic: Spamming Accounts (Read 247 times)

I know they're not random. They're bots posting certain stock sentences. They're either from a farmer just trying to easily rank up their accounts or from a paid service offering to keep a ICO thread bumped up and active.


There are ICOs offering to pay for people to post in their threads (which are trashed as it's against the rules to do this), but there are also at least two external services I know of that are offering to bump threads for a price. I banned one of them here (read the thread for further info):


There's also this one:


Edit: and another:

Just a rant in a meta forum... wanted to see if my report post madhouse clicking was worth it...  seems that it is.

Though I don't have evidence of it (other than the spamming), I believe some of these garbage posters are being paid to bump threads to the top.  There was one, something like music coin--it had musical notes in the thread title.  It was being bumped constantly last week, and the posts it was being bumped with were some of the worst shitposts I've seen here.  Stuff like "I thnk music cure the soul, gd luck."  and similar vapid statements.  And they were not brand new members, either.  I reported something like 3 whole pages of those posts and then the thread disappeared for a while.  It's ridiculous.  I have that whole section (bounties & tokens) on ignore.  If I didn't, it would be near impossible to muster the attention span needed to find threads worth posting in.

I don't think these are bots, but I could be wrong.  But there's no way these shitposts are genuine thoughts.  I suspect people are getting paid to bump those threads, and it's easy to believe, too.  We've got account sales, money for Yelp & Amazon reviews, fake Facebook friends, etc.  

OP, you don't need to start a new thread for this kind of concern.  Just report those posts as you see them, and hopefully they'll be dealt with.  Mods are busy, but they're pretty good when they get the reports.

I get it, it's frustrating.  It's like a parade of slobbering morons in the altcoin section (and many others, too), but it's definitely worth reporting these cretins.

It's not random posts... it seems it until you see a LOT of them and then you see that there must be a bank... so I'd say it's a script being run... my guess is in China or another pennies a day type income area.

Yeah, they're annoying. They get banned if reported so just keep doing so. What I want to know is are they just bots from account farmers or are the ico campaigns using a service that offers to bump their threads to keep it at the top/relevant (which I know there are several services being offered to do exactly that).

Anyone else getting annoyed at the "looks like a great project" spam crap going on throughout bct?  Just filling up threads with spam crap so much that I finally decided to just start reporting the posts as "Spam account".  Looks like the mods are noticing as they're being removed... hopefully the whole damn account is...

Sorry, just felt like ranting.
