Title: Posting a nonsense string of characters to increase post count.
Post by: Don Pedro Dinero on November 11, 2017, 12:06:21 PM
I’ve recently reposted some users trying to increase post count by posting something like the following:

I don’t know how this is managed here. Former users I reported got comments deleted but I think those kinds of users should be directly banned.

Lol that's just an address and he's confused it with a giveaway thread. I saw and handled your report before anyway.

Lol! I hadn't realised it was an address.

This is the third time I report something like that in few days. I don't know how they get confused.

Some are bots and some are just idiots. Hard to tell them apart.

I often seeing people posting their wallet address on Freebitco.in (and maybe some other threads). Few years ago this site made btc giveaway for people who post their btc address. Somehow these users found this post and they think that giveaway is still active. Maybe they are stupid, or just don't check date when it was posted.
You made a right move by reporting it.
