Title: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: alani123 on June 16, 2018, 12:11:29 AM There has been some blatant activity of spam-bumping and potentially spam-botting lately. Bumping is used to push threads back to the front page as a promotion method. It's easy for this to get lost amidst the forum's massive activity so I thought about creating a thread to gather them all in one place.
What to do? Simple: post links to thread that appear to be promoted by spam-bumps. I'll start Blatant plagiarism in this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4360608.0) thread's responses (also whole thread duplicate of now locked https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3382203.0) https://archive.fo/oxWQp#selection-510.0-510.1 https://archive.li/ObhfL#selection-921.15-921.23 Older Plagiarized comments https://archive.li/PdWgs#selection-1490.0-1490.1 Older Plagiarized comments Another example in same thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4360608.msg40193472#msg40193472 plagiarized from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3382203.msg38618457#msg38618457 Most accounts from page 5 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4360608.60) onwards seem to be newly created for spam. Title: Re: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: alani123 on June 16, 2018, 12:27:21 AM The plagiarism from the above thread seems to be blatant by some of the responders. We're onto something here.

I can't go through every single post looking for plagiarism bot the accoints doing it are posting copied responses almost exclusively. It appears as though someone is employing a network of spam accounts to plagiarize comments and boost threads. If one follows threads those post in a trail of boosted threads could be uncovered. Look at the double spaces here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3423964.msg36164655#msg36164655 The project name is likely a variable word. Can somebody export all Jr. member accounts from those threads that this network appears to be promoting so they can be banned en masse?

I've been coming across lots of "word salad"* posts lately but when I have reported similar posts in the past they either remain unhandled or marked bad.
Here's are some examples of the type of nonsense I keep seeing (all pulled from the infamous Arbitao [ANN] thread): This is a very nice idea with ability. Classy results, rational business, a rather interesting design! I believe it's a good project! Blameless project, advisable plan. Good luck all! It's really great idea! Irreproachable logo, judicious idea! Good luck all. Their idea is quite attractive in my view! A very promising project, flawless vision! Good luck. I can't help but note a certain similarity in style, which makes me think this is a not-too-bright conversational bot that just remixes some choice phrases to avoid getting nailed for plagiarism. * - "word salad" is a term from psychiatry that indicates someone is well down the road to schizophrenia.

Kinda depressing, actually.

I just found (and reported) three on the last page of the Bismuth thread and I just picked that one at random, implying there are literally thousands of these spambot posts to deal with. Theoretically you could report thousands of these posts a day if you had enough time, and willpower. It's already started to effect my browsing of the forum, and a few others things I would like to be doing, but it just needs to be done. I'm hoping that the community can pull together, and start reporting more collectively. Kinda depressing, actually. I don't know how many times I've reported pages worth of posts, and then within an hour they've already added another 5 pages of spam onto the thread. I constantly ask myself the question whether I'm helping the moderators or if I'm just annoying them with the reports. Title: Re: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: MagicSmoker on June 20, 2018, 08:18:49 PM ... I constantly ask myself the question whether I'm helping the moderators or if I'm just annoying them with the reports. Yep, that's what I worry about, too, when I report several posts in a row; don't want to overwhelm the poor mods with the likes of, "outstanding idea, irreproachable logo, advisable plan!" ::) But, it isn't as bad as I thought. I randomly clicked on the last page of about 30 more ANN threads and only found one more example of word salad like the above. Either that or the mods already got to them... Title: Re: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: tmfp on June 20, 2018, 08:55:52 PM This shit is everywhere, to the point where I blank it out when catching up, otherwise I end up reporting, not reading.
Back when I was a more trigger happy reporter, I think I single-handedly reduced a thread by about twelve pages of "word salad". It would help if the Moderators nuked more of these accounts with post histories of complete nonsense (quite a number of them registered early June), especially when the report points out their overall lack of quality. But they don't seem to, mostly only deleting the one post reported and leaving them to spam again, e.g. from the infamous Arbitao thread, I reported this user (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2182547) for two nonsense posts, with a request for nuking. The two posts are gone, but the shit poster's still live.

My thoughts exactly. Very well said, I actually agree with everything!Back when I was a more trigger happy reporter, I think I single-handedly reduced a thread by about twelve pages of "word salad". It would help if the Moderators nuked more of these accounts with post histories of complete nonsense (quite a number of them registered early June), especially when the report points out their overall lack of quality.

The two posts are gone, but the shit poster's still live. I have expressed in multiple threads that I think limitations should be put in place to prevent this abuse. ICOs and altcoins are trying to compete with each other to see who gets on the front all the time and it's getting really annoying. There's now a market for that offered as a service. IMO a simple solution would be to: a. Disallow accounts under Member rank from bumping. They will be able to respond but it shouldn't shoot threads at the top. This will stop new accounts without merit to push threads to the top. There could be exceptions for boards like beginners and help and other tech support sections. b. For accounts below Member rank, introduce reCaptcha for each post. This would simply curb automation. It would also be useful if mods were a little more trigger happy with nuking rather than painstakingly deleting posts one by one...

Back when I was a more trigger happy reporter, I think I single-handedly reduced a thread by about twelve pages of "word salad". Same here, except not seeing my unhandled report count go down is what mostly stays my hand at reporting more. It would help if the Moderators nuked more of these accounts with post histories of complete nonsense (quite a number of them registered early June), especially when the report points out their overall lack of quality. Totally agree, and the part I bolded I have since incorporated into my reports (ie - pointing out that all/most of the user's other posts are the same as the reported post). Hopefully that will result in nuking rather than single post deletions. That said, what human - even one that has to rely on Google Translate to make an "Engrish" post - would write something like: I wish this project grows well and ideally. Apperceptive idea, impeccably idea, interesting website! (pulled from the post history of the user/bot you reported).

I think a general observation I've made is that threads which have "free" or "airdrop" in the title generate a lot more of these sort of replies. But, it isn't as bad as I thought. I randomly clicked on the last page of about 30 more ANN threads and only found one more example of word salad like the above. Either that or the mods already got to them... Update: 7 of 7 threads I'm now actively reporting in have had at least 5 shitposts. Title: Re: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: alani123 on June 20, 2018, 11:57:59 PM Look at those posts! They're switching words to avoid plagiarism checks by the first look but it's not hard to find them. More advanced algorithms can be of course developed for this but my google-fu skills can only help point out perpetrators to this level of obviousness. I'm actually suspicious that some bots are swapping certain placeholder words (as I reported here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4477847.msg40206338#msg40206338)) with the project's name to make their replies have a more natural feel among all the spam. This looks automated either way, and happens faster than individual posts can be reported.

I think that when the same plagiarized spammy line gets posted on the same thread as a response over an over it's a pretty clear cut case of the OP utilizing spam-bumping services. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3375991.msg39071963#msg39071963 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3375271.msg38368651#msg38368651 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2804929.msg33338834#msg33338834 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2804929.msg29295810#msg29295810 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3386155.msg38838800#msg38838800 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188941.msg37498045#msg37498045 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3382728.msg37802373#msg37802373 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188941.msg36198954#msg36198954 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2856412.msg32563294#msg32563294 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3214041.msg36677873#msg36677873 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3214041.msg36904169#msg36904169 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3214041.msg37447985#msg37447985 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188941.msg37748613#msg37748613 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3214041.msg34386283#msg34386283 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3214041.msg35987990#msg35987990 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3214041.msg35673406#msg35673406 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188941.msg37242682#msg37242682 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188941.msg34386894#msg34386894 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188941.msg34984510#msg34984510 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188941.msg39496617#msg39496617 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3252688.msg39412182#msg39412182 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3188941.msg35411371#msg35411371 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2602692.msg28242130#msg28242130 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3214041.msg36198482#msg36198482 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2589371.msg36555181#msg36555181 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2961359.msg33928833#msg33928833 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3140643.msg32761271#msg32761271 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2804929.msg33646820#msg33646820 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4437634.msg39693829#msg39693829 Title: Re: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: suchmoon on June 21, 2018, 12:22:41 AM Another very popular phrase by spammers: What will u do with unsold tokens?

Title: Re: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: funsponge on June 21, 2018, 12:24:50 AM Can we not just ban certain phrases to avoid this problem? Maybe not the "What will u do with unsold tokens?" but other phrases such as the "great project" or maybe setup a bot which automatically deletes these sort of messages.

Well, my shift of reporting starts soon, and I've just taken a quick look, and have already found several threads with the same bullshit as always. I think a general observation I've made is that threads which have "free" or "airdrop" in the title generate a lot more of these sort of replies. ... I don't want to confuse cause and correlation here, but over 50% of my unhandled reports were processed overnight after I started noting that the history of a user/bot is full of the same type of messages. I'm definitely seeing less of the word salad spam already this morning, but more of the usual, "nice project," shitposts. At least the word salad posts elicited the occasional chuckle; this shit just makes my eyes glaze over. For example, the last 12 pages of the RoomDao ANN thread is comprised of nothing but newbies and jr. members spamming each other, and that represents a mere 4 hours of posts!?! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3130310.1980 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3130310.1980) In cases like this, I feel like the ANN thread itself should be nuked, just as has been done to Privcy [sic] several times. Title: Re: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: alani123 on June 23, 2018, 11:22:28 PM I agree that threads with gross spam all over them should be locked, or even better outright deleted. In the event that the majority of pages consist of spam, it's highly likely that the project advertised in the OP has paid for spam-bumping.
Title: Re: SPAMBOT hunting: report spambot promoted threads Post by: alani123 on July 12, 2018, 07:38:25 AM This bounty urges people to respond to the thread with just their username, which has resulted to quite some spam bumping and is against the rules: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4613036.0
Note following two responses by the same user for the same campaign, using different usernames each time. This hints fakeness. The campaign manager is likely utilizing some automation to bump the thread with those low quality responses. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4613036.msg42003524#msg42003524 - archive https://archive.is/bFlbv https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4613036.msg42003589#msg42003589 archive of all https://archive.fo/nSyft |
