Post by: pereira4 on November 03, 2016, 05:12:07 PM
The bot that is usually on the speculation section (and sometimes on the mining section) spamming tons of FUD, is now spamming on the main section at full force, I have seen up to 6 messages at once. Message contains this:

China central bank put a new sales restriction (limit/stop fiat from depositing into bitcoin trading companies bank accounts) on Chinese bitcoin exchangers (Okcoin, huobi etc..) to ensure the capital controls and stop money flow out of the country.

Bitcoin price lost over $50 (dropped even more in Chinese market) soon as the news are out.

Without Chinese pump money, bitcoin will soon drop back to sub $220. Party is over run as fast as you can. You have been warned.

Beware of those threads, don't reply on those, just report it.

I'm working on it. Some people quoting it here and there aren't really helping. I'll try to keep it consistently clean.

FYI: It is likely the same spammer that always kept attacking that section. However, they were unusually quiet lately.

There's some "big" news they can abuse for their puropse and try spreading fud.
It's good timing and I'm not surprised about their return right now.

Been doing that for ages, like everyone should. Arguing with spambots is pointless anyway.
I think most folks are aware of this.

LOL'd at a couple of those threads' titles.  Something about mods trying to keep the news hidden from public, not because of the spam.  This troll is a total idiot.  ::)
