Title: ICO: VECTORZILLA Not to be taken seriously ~~Using services to Pump ANN
Post by: Patatas on January 19, 2018, 11:56:54 AM
Ann thread :    
[ANN][ICO]: VECTORZILLA WORLD'S 1ST BLOCKCHAIN BASED STOCK GRAPHICS MARKETPLACE. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2783894.msg28462850#msg28462850)

WE ARE A TEAM OF SEVERAL EXPERIENCED PEOPLE IN CRYPTOWORLD  CALLED COINPROMOTERS. WE HAVE ENTIRE TEAM TO PROMOTE YOUR ICO. OUR ONGOING PROJECTS : 4NEW, SKRAPS ,ECHOLNK,EARTH,DRAGON COIN, VECTORZILLA ETC. JOIN US.

Obviously we all know what roles do these 'Coin Promoters' play.The moment ANN was opened,their shills started pumping the ann (also posting multiple times in a row which I reported) and are still continuing to do so.Also their Ann poster doesn't know how to check someone's trust ratings on bitcointalk.Can you trust someone when it comes to managing an ICO on bitcointalk who barely has an idea about the forum ? I think not.

Stay away from the following ICO which uses such services to promote themselves on the forum.Precaution is better than cure.

The names of the projects they are developing - > totally asinine.

I have reported some posts too in that thread most of them have seem to be deleted, * I guess*, but they seem to be doing something very fishy. Nice catch @Patatas, that board(announcements) has been fucked so badly, there is a need for that board to be locked temporarily for the forum to be spam free at least in that section for some time.

Thanks for the quick action! You see how my trust list is spammed by these shill accounts (and your's by their main account).Further digging down ,I figured out the project is get rich quick scam from India.However idiots on the forum are applying for their bounties which makes me want to wait for another scam thread against them.

I wonder when would these third world shit-holes will learn to take negative feedback seriously.

@Lauda ,since we are on-topic.I got one more case which needs your judgement.

Check out this ANN thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2778477.0
One of the campaign rules are.
Bumping the ann thread is not required, but appreciated.
Manager and Team save the rights to increase or change any rules, payment structure and anything else if necessary.[/size][/center]
So secretly,the campaign manager wants the participants to bump the ANN when such ANN bumping is strictly prohibited on bitcointalk.I honestly think,the campaign manager and all the participants who agree to comply with that rule should be tagged.

You should look for, and provide, examples of *obvious* bumping of the ANN thread. I am strongly inclined to tag said person; said evidence would then make it trivial.

You can post them all here, sure.

Looking for more inspiration?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2671664.0
Plenty of fresh members in wierd admiration for just another coin that wants to ride on bitcoin name popularity.
Posts start from about 4th page and building up to extreme, making most normal people feeling sick. Plenty of Indian looking nicks too.
Unless this was done to discredit original poster, them guys need to learn how to be more tasteful with what they do.

*Inspired*.Yes the project looks like it is ran by an army of newbie accounts.I wonder if there is even 1 actual poster who is not a shill account.

Starting from this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2671664.msg28916045#msg28916045 you can see how OP is bumping their thread multiple times a day by quoting a different reply for every shill post from the alt's.I don't know if I can judge as it a severe case of ANN bumping or just another scam coin which needs to be tagged.

Obvious case here.

OP is a professional "coin promoter"(aka ann bumper/shitposter), and all the replies seem to be written by one single person/organisation that repeats their agenda over and over again, just rephrasing it every single time.

They do not look like organic replies and attention at all.

No matter how good an ICO looks like, if they are willing to use such unethical means of promotion to get an unfair advantage over their competitors, then they are going to be a project not looking at. It basically means "we cannot get attention elsewhere, so we can to pay for it".

There are multiple OP's in this case.Which one are you referring to ? I'm also an OP  :-X

From my experience,ICO founders or the marketing team is not aware if there is a rule that forbids using such pumping services.They're approached by service providers which give them false promises of giving more exposure to a wider audience hence they fall for it.

Wish I would have seen this first.  They handled our bounty campaign before the negative trust, but our experience with them was NOT good...
