Title: Alt Farm (Adding 20 accounts per day) Post by: o_e_l_e_o on October 20, 2018, 08:57:55 PM I first noticed it in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5051956.msg47094011#msg47094011
4 accounts with similar sounding names all posted a generic one liner (two of them exact copies of each other) within the space of 3 minutes. I found it suspicious and decided to go digging. Turns out there are many accounts following the same pattern of behavior. A random selection of usually 4 (occasionally between 2 and 5) of the below accounts will show up in a thread and all post a spammy one liner in the space of a few minutes. It's their entire post history and is happening constantly - enough to conclude all these accounts are part of an alt farm. I had started to link to threads and make screenshots, but there's no point - just click on literally any post by any of the accounts below and you will see what I mean. I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface here.

They usually spam forum and after some time they start bumping announcement threads. They can't really go directly with brand new accounts into ICO threads because it will be too obvious. Just give them some time, they will start building little quote pyramids in no time - and then report them and team which hired them. Title: Re: Alt Farm (At least 20 accounts) Post by: o_e_l_e_o on October 21, 2018, 09:53:11 AM Yeah. Although technically they are breaking the rules by multiposting and spamming in every thread they post in, there's nothing they've done yet that would get them banned.
Certainly need to keep an eye on them as they are likely being farmed up to either bump threads, abuse bounties or be sold.

This account farm is now at well over 100 accounts, and is adding 20 more account every day. At least 5 of the accounts1 have earned a lucky merit within 2-3 days, so I'm sure within a couple of weeks there will plenty of these accounts with the 1 merit required to display a signature. I refuse to believe that there is nothing we can do about this, and we just have to sit and twiddle our thumbs while watching these 100+ (and growing) accounts spam and then start abusing bounties, bumping threads, or being sold. Why, when we have such clear evidence of abuse, do we have to be reactive rather than proactive in tackling it? 1: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2452595 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2453660 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2453666 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2453717 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2453749 Title: Re: Alt Farm (Adding 20 accounts per day) Post by: marlboroza on October 31, 2018, 12:19:04 AM I refuse to believe that there is nothing we can do about this, and we just have to sit and twiddle our thumbs while watching these 100+ (and growing) accounts spam and then start abusing bounties, bumping threads, or being sold.

Moderator can nuke them - but then we will see hundred new accounts.I don't see any other solution than newbie jail. That will solve many problems and make this forum better place.
