Title: Bot infestation? Intervention required. Post by: xhomerx10 on March 24, 2018, 02:10:32 PM I reported a couple of posts from these accounts and then started looking into their post history. It's obvious there is an issue here but the posts may appear passible in some instances. I believe these are bots searching for keywords and posting snippets of relevant articles (sometimes incomplete) that may or may not make sense or have contextual relevance to the discussion.
Nikolaiy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1755155) https://i.imgur.com/y4aIoiO.png Indeed, let us start with a definition... Violetta Shigina (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1749680) This one is just too obvious. AfanasjevIur (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1847650) Posts #13 and #14 of AfanasjevIur are duplicates even though they are posted in difference threads. Shipitcinvova (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1859251) All of these profiles share a common theme as well. The post what appears to be an ETH address in the "other contact information" and "location" section and also fill out both the gender and age sections as well. I think we need some bot spray.

Yea as you said for the female thing, ethereum address in 2 location and posts filled with garbage. Title: Re: Bot infestation? Intervention required. Post by: hilariousandco on March 24, 2018, 02:38:47 PM These are very likely copied from somewhere but can't find the source. Maybe he's changing words or they're originally from Russian articles that are being translated into English:
Armed with an article from Bussiness Insider, we decided to deal with the bitcoins on our own and tell you about it. Let's start with the definition of the term and a brief history. However Bitcoin differs from other virtual payment systems in the possibility of mining - each participant can play the role of "gold prospector" and find "grains of gold in the ore. An admin will need to look into it as there could be hundreds of accounts, but they won't. Title: Re: Bot infestation? Intervention required.

Edit: for clarification These three consecutive posts clearly don't belong in the Rare Address Hall of Fame (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90982.0) thread https://i.imgur.com/WBTWNeg.png Should I continue to report this type of post?

Yes, you should continue to report them and those will be handled, but only admins can check for others and there likely will be more of them, possibly hundreds. Title: Re: Bot infestation?

I'm sure the mods are overwhelmed and I just realized that I may have been a little impatient waiting for post deletions. I'll take a pill. ;) Title: Re: Bot infestation? Intervention required.

I forgot about that; thanks for the heads up. Generally I only take ibuprofen edit: that was just a typ-o - of/if... it wasn't caused by any pill addiction! I swear. |
