We are active in this forum with a purpose. and we post regularly on various topics. but I am surprised about one thing that the top 10 most time online accounts of the forum are all newbie accounts. how it is possible and who they are? what is their job? And what they do in this forum Huh

Of the 10 accounts that you describe here, only one account is currently online, namely Mitmivan. Also, everything has been inactive after August 14, 2020. So the question is what surprised you about that? Especially for New Brands who still haven't done anything on this forum after they created an account in 2018 with a date difference of only one day. And I think it would be very difficult to know who they are because they haven't done anything and they also didn't introduce themselves when they created their account.

In addition to the account that has the name (Mitmivan) they left the forum at the same time (14 August 2020). Is this a coincidence or is the owner of this account the same person. Maybe that's what Op is thinking.
No one was surprised by this finding, especially since they haven't had a single post since signing up. Their presence or absence will not have any effect on the forum. Who cares about an account that has no activity on the forum, isn't the Bitcointalk forum open to the public, anyone can register and leave the forum.

@OP you might want to check the links Cantsay shared, you might get an insight into why those accounts have those ridiculously high numbers of logged-in time.

So I wonder what their aim is since all their posts are not up to forum standard and they are deleted and accounts are banned.

I am using the BPIP extension on my browser and none of the accounts mentioned by the OP are showing that they are banned, just "archived".

I checked their accounts and realized that they may have more high rank accounts. However, all of them opened their accounts in August 2018. Looking at these accounts, it is suspected that the owner of these accounts may be one. Because all their accounts are have been opened around the same time. I will investigate the alt of these accounts. If they are involved in any illegal activity I will find out and take strict action against them.

And what strict action do you plan on taking? Stop shitposting, 'cause that would be a radical move for you!
Speaking of investigation, who's alt are you? Cause for sure you're no genuine newbie?

Dear OP, what do you mean by top 10 most online accounts, i did not know there is anything like top online accounts. well, if you have mentioned it then i think i have to agree with you.

Read the post twice, click the link OP posted:

how it is possible and who they are? what is their job?

Put any kind of stats that rank users and you're going to have a virtual dick-measuring contest where a ton of users will simply try to get ranked 1st, in the past there was a discussion in which some users kept their accounts online by setting an autorefresh to gain more online time, there was a topic about that but I can't find it anymore, far before these accounts ever existed.

Here is where I got the information from - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

Another shock is that each account was opened in August 2018. I am really shocked by these. I am drawing everyone's attention. And hoping to get accurate information on who they might be and what their motive for being active on the forum might be

You really made a huge dig to get those users, but if you ask me I'd say those are users that are not really interested in making use of that account, it seems like they have another account to that's taking most of their time and they can't really focus on the new account and the old one, I think. Or it should be that the account was just opened but the users don't find it that interesting or they don't know what to do in this forum. Shit happens.
I still can't tell the exact reason but is best to keep an eye on those accounts, hopefully the owners might come back to light.

As I said, it will be difficult for you to find out who they are when they don't do anything here after creating their account in 2018. Moreover, only one of the 10 accounts that you describe here is active, because 9 of them have been inactive since August 14, 2020 .So it would be better if you don't spend your time on things that might not be so important to them, because basically they still haven't done anything wrong here

If you check well, they were created same year and the last time they were active was thesame time.
Trying to figure what they do is not needful as they are no longer active and secondly, they have no post, so there is no way to knowing if they have engage in any fraudulent act.
You can only look out to when they will come online and take note of what they post. Maybe they will come back any moment soon or after 5years from now.

Here are some likely situation that might be the reason for such an account.
1. For fraudulent act
2. Altcoins purpose
3. Bounty cheats
4. For sale to those he introduce to the forum.
5 bots as others have suggested

We can not judge without a clear evidence, what I wrote is an assumption and not a judgement.

And on checking, i found most of the accounts are not actives since 2020 then how can you distinguish them as the most online accounts and most of the accounts has not posted a single post.

Op is talking about Bitcoin Forum - Statistics Center where you can see the list of members with most online time and lot other stats but as far as I know the stats were old and it never updated for years. Someone register on the forum doesn't necessarily need to post but in that case all of them were bots cause look at their online time which is 63+ years but it is not really possible since this forum is just 10+ years old.

The accounts look really suspicious and their activities have been detected to be bot similarities and mind you when we say bot activities, it does not elude the involvement of human contributions so even though there are bots accounts, the possibility of some real users being behind them is near 80%-90% and that is something we must really settle with, and from what I can make out of my research about those accounts is that some of them are already banned by the forum and most if not all have zero activities.
So I wonder what their aim is since all their posts are not up to forum standard and they are deleted and accounts are banned.

But did you read well what you wrote? Have you at least read the replies to this thread? Or at least verified a user on that list?
These users never made a single post, it's almost impossible that they did something wrong in the forum. Roll Eyes

When bots have a human behind them, I wouldn't say 90%, I would say 100% probability. There is no bot if there is no human to configure it to work. Roll Eyes

These users are clearly bots, information scrapers, they log in and collect the data for which they are programmed. The question now that can be raised is what data they collect. But, that might be harder to say.

They are bots, always log in but don't post anything so they are always brandnew. Some accounts stopped log in months or years ago.

You can see the latest policy change on Twitter to understand it. Elon required Twitter users must log in their accounts to view tweets. He also restricted maximum tweets to read each day for each account type. The policy changes are to prevent bots, data scrapers.

Dear Musa, maybe i didn't caught your meaning here but i think op is talking about this forum not about twitter. So, how can you come up with the discussion of twitter and Elon Musk, instead you could also come up with the discussion of Facebook. Because Facebook also not bearing any bot or inactive accounts they consistently banning new and inactive accounts.

Well, maybe i am wrong here.

They are most likely to be a bug, scrapers or bots.

This is not the first time others have raised this topic:
The forum stats are wrong! @theymos check it out,please.

I will investigate the alt of these accounts. If they are involved in any illegal activity I will find out and take strict action against them.

LMAO, your post really made me laugh. Did you even bother to think your post through before clicking the "post" button? dude those accounts have zero posts and you want to investigate them, how and what exactly will you be investigating?

By the state of your account I think those account I think investigating any account here in the forum should be your least priority, your main priority should be familiarising yourself with the forum and bitcoin.

Twitter silently removes login requirement for viewing tweets
Twitter limits the number of tweets users can read amid extended outage

In bitcointalk login account if you want to scrape data like those brand new accounts.
