Title: High amounts of newbie/sockuppet spam in thread
Post by: 🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 on August 09, 2018, 09:51:12 AM
There is a very high amount of newbie sockpuppets spamming this thread with meaningless posts. Could a moderator look at it? It's pretty obvious.

Well it's obvious that these are paid shills, bumping the topic. Notice all the posters are newbies, most of them. I am going to do the obvious job which is reporting  ;D

This is a problem of the forum.
A lot of new accounts doing so, a good idea is to limit newbie accounts on some areas.

Why not implement the 1 or 2 merit requirement in order to reach Jr. Member. I am sure that these kinds of spamming activity will greatly reduce, reporting and nuking accounts regularly can be a pain in the ass. If 1 merit requirement will take time for it to be implemented why not create an alternative general rule that Members above only can join a Bounty ::)

Please make it 5 merits, 1 or 2 merits can be given only by 1 profile and it's very easy. An additional 5 merit requirements will serve as a barrier to them creating multiple accounts.

For further explanation to this,

Additional to my reply,

If you can see in the reputation section, almost of the accounts that getting red trusts are Jr. Members. There are many people creating multiple accounts that is equivalent to the stakes given in Full Member or Sr. Member on bounties.

These accounts result shitposting in the forum and spreading of toxicity in each threads and discussions.

e.g.

In signature campaign,

Jr. Member - 1 stake
Full Member - 5 stakes

Those people creates 5 accounts to match the income of the Full Member in every campaign. In our local, my goal is to diminish the bounty hunters group that abuse the bounties and send each other some bounty campaign links to gain profit. The abusive activity of bounty hunters show that they just only want money without learning any information about investments, projects and other knowledge in crypto.  :(

As i said to my recent posts, report to mods is not enough because there are too many shitposters. Maybe the badge for having a good reports will push some members to report those but it's really good to have a barrier on the first stage to filter out the the participants.

This has been the case always in the Announcement section. Thousands of new accounts are being created just to bump their useless fucking thread. My past suggestion is to put a rank requirement to put in Announcement section but unfortunately, it hasn't gain any traction or attention. Maybe now it will :D. This will remove the fucking newbie bumpers in the Announcement section.
