You don't even need to create a separate topic for this.

Although he has plagiarism. I think this is where his story ends.

I would tend to agree with you that a new thread isn't necessary in cases like this--but look at the evidence you just presented! I don't know if he's been reported or is banned or whatever, but that's the sort of good that can come from starting up a seemingly superfluous thread.

*Ok, I see Cyrus banned that guy now. Awesome, awesome, awesome.*

Good eyes on this, OP. Another idiot bites the dust....for now.

While you're at it, you can probably nuke these two as well:

ankr-buy-ankr (uid=3577844)
avalanche-avax (uid=3577858)

They share a similar usernames, nearly identical UID, the same MO, and have the same domain on their profile.

Nuked, thank you!

Some nice detective work here. I wonder if there is a reason to why they do this method.
At times spammer moves make no sense to me at all.

The motives of the people behind this is most likely backlinks. They spam their links everywhere they can in automated/semi-automated/even manual ways because they somehow think that would make their websites more relevant/popular. Though probably most of the websites being SEOed like this spammy AND scammy.

Apart from joining the signature campaign, bitcointalk members can make money in other ways too like by in participating games and round sections, and free raffles for that they need to have certain criteria and mostly minimum activity and post numbers. Probably some accounts are farmed for that since signature campaigns become an impossible task for the spammers.

@OP, Newbies will be nuked if they found spamming so an effective tool to fight them is Report to moderator feature.

That account has been already banned. There's been an increase in SEO spam lately. In this case, the first two posts of that account include a link. It's not the first time I've seen that domain being spammed around here (probably nuked around five accounts spamming the same domain).

Here's another one: audius-audio-buy

This user has been banned as well. I know accounts like these aren't going to be bothered about being banned, they would basically just create a new account and continue from where they stopped, until they get tired of the cycle and go away forever.

It seems to be a spammer only interested in technical discussions.

They were only interested in posting plagiarised content for reasons best known to them.

What's the point of creating alt accounts and spreading spams and plagrism? There is no practical gain in this! Don't they have anything better to do? Or is it someone pays them for this kind of shitty work. Who knows!!! Sad

You can still move this thread somewhere like Reputation https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0

It can stay, as it discusses spamming from most likely bot accounts.

How can a newbie post a few times in less than 4 minutes? Is that a copper member which doesn't wear the membership? It seems to be a spammer only interested in technical discussions.

There is no need to move anything anywhere. Just report the posts as low quality to the moderators. You don't even need to create a separate topic for this. Several idiots appear on the forum every day who somehow attract attention to themselves, and moderators promptly delete their activities.

Although he has plagiarism. I think this is where his story ends.

Nice find. All of his one-liners appear to be nothing more than copy-paste plagiarism. I've submitted a report here and reported a bunch of his posts to the moderators. That should do the trick to get the account nuked, I guess.

More regulatory bodies are trying to fight over which of them will supposedly regulate crypto. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) was once also in one article on a crypto site demanding regulation in which crypto could also be their domain.

SEC, FSOC, and CFTC have to make it clearer which of them is really going to regulate crypto. I guess all of them have thier own grand plan to have a grip on this industry, they got to take taxes. The problem is that crypto is borderless and US doesn't own the biggest CEX.

I don’t think he’s gonna get any merit on those one liners.

May be a spammer or a bot who knows.

But one think is for sure, meta is not the right place for this topic.
