Title: Signature spam!
Post by: ndnh on May 22, 2016, 07:09:40 AM
As someone who have managed signature campaigns, I noticed someone using a weird way to post repetitive stuff and go unnoticed.

Modus operandi:
1. Copy the contents of a previous post (made in the a previous signature period) made by him, and edit it to something irrelevant.
2. Make a new post with the same old content.

Example: (reported) (archived)

#1
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159221.msg14849656#msg14849656
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159221.msg14916165#msg14916165

#2 (same poster)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1398787.msg14849677%23msg14849677
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1398787.msg14925812%23msg14925812

#3 and so on.. from here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=106419;sa=showPosts;start=40 (This guy is probably still hard at work  :o)

Notes:
A manager or a bot looking at the posts for the current period will find it hard to find this abuse. In threads with more than a few pages, it becomes significantly harder to spot.

Posted to make bitcointalk better. ;D
Please report any such cases you notice to the moderators.
