Title: Spamming in the waves thread
Post by: Your Point Is Invalid on May 06, 2018, 09:25:30 AM
Someone is being paid to use a bunch of alts to bump the waves thread, there have been more than 100 posts (and possibly more than 200) posted from different accounts in an attemp to bump the thread or increase the page count or something like that, all the posts in question are one liners that are overly optimistic about waves. None of the posts are original, all of them are repeated 2 or three times. This is clearly the work of an account farmer using his accounts to make some extra money or an account farmer that offers bumping services. Here are a few of the posts.

Did my airdrop on waves SO FAST!!!

Tesla just went to Mars but WAVES has greater ambition

Buying WAVES before smart contracts makes amazing sense

1) Buy WAVES 2) wait 3) retire 2019

I missed bitcoin at $10, not going to miss WAVES at the same price!!

There are dozens more posts like this, just go from page 62 in the thread onwards, i'm hoping that all those accounts get permabanned.

They all have email addresses ending in '@pro-mail-service.com'. They're not new accounts either. All are registered in 2013/2014. All are on signature campaigns apart from one so I'd suspect they just belong to a farmer more than someone getting paid just to bump a thread (though that could also be the case).

Just went through some post history and realized that theses accounts went through a period of innactivity and then resumed activity with a different post style so the accounts were clearly bought, is there any chance of these accounts getting banned for low quality and copied posts if I go through and report all of them?

Also, if its discovered that this is some sort of bumping service, I believe that the people who pay for these services should be punished somehow

There's a thread made about that and OP posted their post history, tho maybe just the format of the post should be changed, like adding usernames and such: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3514911.msg36229782#msg36229782

There's quite a number of accounts posting like that, 10+ accounts.

That list displays only a fraction of all the users involved, I'm currently working on the full list, i'm already at 15 members and i've only done a page or 2.
