Title: Is this against the rules?
Post by: TryNinja on March 24, 2018, 01:59:40 PM
The user mugensiz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=971666) has been creating multiple new threads about his "trading terminal" every day. Every thread he has created so far is exactly the same. And he already did that 39 times.
Just check his 'last topics started by this person' page (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=971666;sa=showPosts).

Today, he already made 8 new threads in multiple boards.

And the worst of all is that his software is probably a malware. Here is a VirusTotal scan of his file:

20 / 61

Trojan-Spy.Win32.SpyEyes.beby

Shouldn't he be banned?

12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).

Autobot. Just report his post and tell mods that he has several similar posts. Or report all his posts.

Put a link to another post identical to the one you're reporting so they can easily confirm it's a duplicate.

The user should be "bumping" the one thread each day (not making a new one).

And yes "spyEyes" sounds memorable to a point where if that scan is accurate it probably is a Trojan in his software (whether accidental or intentional).

It's not even a bump. He is literally making ~8 new threads per day. One (or more) in each board.

Here is an example:

Okay now this is hilarious and ofc it has to be against the rules, if this was legitimate, we'd see many people using it as a legit bumping mechanism.

According to this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) it is against the rule:

12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).


It has been already pointed out.

Opening new topic cannot bump a thread, its new thread not posting on existing thread.

My reply is the first reply in this thread and there is no mention of that from any other participant on this discussion thread.

That is seriously excessive. The time difference is quite extreme also, it's like a duplicate every 1 or 2 hours just to keep the topic at the top. They're all completely identical as well.

I've noticed that russians have become more active all over the web lately... For the future notice, if you see posts and users like this one, just report them to the moderator. Doesn't matter if you're not sure if they're braking the rules or not, just explain what you thunk is up and mod will decide. Also, this one is just ridiculous.

If shit-posting is surely bad for the forum, I think that shit-threading is even worse. I thinks this is an aspect of spam which would deserve a special attention.

I know and what I meant was that they can BUMP the topic, by making new threads, so that it'll grab more eyes.

As for this :
According to this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) it is against the rule:

12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).

No it hadnt already been pointed out on this thread.

It is simply a case of bad grammar, what I meant was that @fxstrike has already pointed out the relevant rule, so I don't need to stress on that. My Bad!  ;)

Shit-threading

Was that original, never heard of it prior   ::)
