Title: Spamming in all local board Post by: clear cookies on September 06, 2018, 02:52:58 PM Good day,
I noticed one of the member here post in a lot of local boards, and I'm pretty sure that he/she using google translate. To spam in any local boards and fast rank up. I'm sure 90% of his/her post is copied and paste to google translate then post to all local boards. Profile: btcbullrun1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2364481 Please checked post history. He/she also a plagiarist! Copy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5000166.msg45120434#msg45120434 Note; Once you click the "bitcoin billionaire" attached to the thread, you will be directed to investment site named paykkey.

S/He also has about 22 deleted posts/topics[1] [will be banned soon] [1] https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php Title: Re: Spamming in all local board Post by: Alone055 on September 06, 2018, 05:02:18 PM He is so stupid that he copied the article completely and didn't even remove the lines that are for the readers on the website, examples:
1. Another article suggestion for readers of that article, in the post: https://i.imgur.com/BwiC9zT.png Original: https://i.imgur.com/IuqTjVZ.png 2. The text behind the image[1], in the post: https://i.imgur.com/4zW5Acp.png Original: https://i.imgur.com/JoYe5gs.png 3. The tagline of the image, in the post: https://i.imgur.com/PlUf5vp.png Original: https://i.imgur.com/sY5heN6.png It's not like he wouldn't get caught if he had removed all these, but still, you need a brain even for plagiarizing. I have reported him to moderator, in case you didn't. Archived the thread for future reference: http://archive.fo/jhvyd [1] A property of HTML, called "title" is used to give a title to an image used in a HTML page, which is printed if you copy and paste the image from that page to somewhere else. Try selecting the image in this article (https://pro-blockchain.com/en/10-songs-that-show-bitcoin-s-influence-on-pop-culture), and paste it in Notepad. The text you will see there will be: Kim Kardashian Receives Her First Bitcoin.

Just can't imagine a spammer doing this silly mistakes ??? ;D
Title: Re: Spamming in all local board Post by: bitart on September 06, 2018, 10:19:53 PM This mistake can be done by a real newbie, or maybe someone is just testing a new kind of spambot...
Anyway, it's over now, I hope they have learnt the lesson... I just can't imagine that people don't think that they will get caught when they do such obvious things... Title: Re: Spamming in all local board Post by: clear cookies on September 07, 2018, 07:43:16 AM I can confirm that, since the Arabic language is written from right to left so it is easy to note that S/he uses an auto-translate and does not know that language. Thanks for the backup.S/He also has about 22 deleted posts/topics[1] [will be banned soon] [1] https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php I think that he/she noticed this thread because of all his/her post and activity is deleted and back to zero. https://i.imgur.com/UwpBgOn.jpg I can't imagine how he/she gets that 1 merit on zero posts and activity? ;D Title: Re: Spamming in all local board Post by: Oasisman on September 07, 2018, 09:05:00 AM He thinks he's clever for deleting all his plagiarized and copy pasted posts. But, wasnt fast enough to delete everything before someone archive his posts lol. Good job @OP
Title: Re: Spamming in all local board Post by: sheenshane on September 07, 2018, 09:21:04 AM I can't imagine how he/she gets that 1 merit on zero posts and activity? ;D Because when you received smerit is not moderated that you can delete, it will still remain.He thinks he's clever for deleting all his plagiarized and copy pasted posts. But, wasnt fast enough to delete everything before someone archive his posts lol. Good job @OP Yeah, you are right mate, surely this is a true newbie that She/he knows what will happen when your work is plagiarized or stealing work from others. Probably, this newbie was trying to explore different local boards by having a troll post and copy-pasting which is a big offense from the forum.Job well-done OP, this case is now over and hopefully, there are many newbie members had noticed on this thread now. Title: Re: Spamming in all local board Post by: Alone055 on September 07, 2018, 01:05:36 PM Anyway, it's over now, I hope they have learnt the lesson... Though I have reported him yesterday for plagiarizing, but I'm still not sure if he is banned or not yet. There should actually be something to show if a person is banned or not if you open their profile. theymos should definitely implement this thing. I can't imagine how he/she gets that 1 merit on zero posts and activity? ;D He got that Merit in this post (https://i.imgur.com/qDCIKMg.png): https://i.imgur.com/qDCIKMg.png which I have archived here (http://archive.fo/jhvyd), yesterday (before he could delete all of them), as a proof for plagiarism. Though he had deleted all his posts, but the Merit he received would remain as one will still have the Merits given to him even if the post/thread he got them from gets deleted.

Title: Re: Spamming in all local board Post by: Zapo on September 12, 2018, 11:45:12 PM -snip- Dammit! My bad, I think I was a bit excited at the topic that I didn't really check for plagiarism. I'll be more wary with my merit next time. Kinda sad to see Bitcoin Discussion in this state.Yes, I found this looking through your posts ;D Title: Re: Spamming in all local board Post by: hilariousetc on September 13, 2018, 09:31:02 AM -snip- Dammit!

Kinda sad to see Bitcoin Discussion in this state.Yes, I found this looking through your posts ;D Don't worry about it. I fell victim to this the other day. I even googled the post first before I merited it but got no hits. Turns out they'd done some 'text-spinning' to avoid detection. Such a sad state of affairs when you have to check posts haven't been plagiarised before you merit them. The sad thing is half of the 'best' content you see here is often copied from somewhere because people just don't have the ability to come up with their own meritable content.
