Title: This Thread has a Ton of Shill Account Replies
Post by: apoorvlathey on April 06, 2018, 07:07:02 AM
While browsing the Digital Goods section I encountered this thread : [WTS] EXPENSIVE GAMES FOR 1$ ONLY!!!! | Cheapest Steam Keys On-Line (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3205247.0;all). I immediately clicked on this thread because it had tremendous replies as compared to other threads.

It took me just a few seconds to realise that all of them were paid shitty replies made all made by low activity users.
I assume that these same accounts might be being used to promote and bump ICO's and other threads.

The thread is self-moderated and has auto-buy link which points to its shady seller.

Also, many of the accounts didn't even read the OP and posted the same copy-pasted nonsense on a thread aiming to sell steam games keys, like :

Nice project
Splendid work
Super ofert Pozitiwe 100%😊
Great project! 👍🙋‍♂️🤗📈
While the project looks good we'll see what happens
Wow....nice announcement.

...and the list goes on. Many of the replies get copy-pasted on this same thread again and again !


I would request the moderators to ban these accounts permanently, although they may create new accounts, but we should do our bit.
