Title: Japanese board is being attacked by spammers. Post by: tactac on October 23, 2018, 02:44:40 AM Japanese board is being attacked by spammers. Over 150 spam postings are done with more than 50 threads.
He/She posted the referral link and continue to post the content that advertise a specific website. For example, the following thread is an example. It is using multiple Newbie accounts, but they are probably the same person. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3024708.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2972447.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3224855.0 I also reported to our moderator, please consider IPBAN. Title: Re: Japanese board is being attacked by spammers. Post by: hakka on October 23, 2018, 03:13:30 AM This is a serious situation of Japanese board.
I also reported it and PM to Japanese local moderator about this situation. However, I know local moderators don't have authority to do IP-BAN. Does anyone know should we(not staff) directly PM it to Global Moderators if this kind of massive spam attack happen? I know the report guidance by welsh but there is no description about directly PM to Global Mods. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4519248.0 I think we should PM them as soon as possible because massive spam attack obviously break a function of board. Title: Re: Japanese board is being attacked by spammers. Post by: tactac on October 23, 2018, 05:53:16 AM Still being attacked. More than 1/3 threads of Japanese board have been hijacked by spammers!!

Thank you very much for our moderator and global moderators!! np.But this is a really serious problem. I think it is necessary to prohibit creating multiple accounts from the same IP in a short time. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please send this opinion to theymos. Title: Re: Japanese board is being attacked by spammers. Post by: sncc on October 23, 2018, 03:51:19 PM Good jobs moderators, now the spams have been deleted. This was the first time for the Japanese local board to be attacked by such massive spams more than 100 posts in a short time. I guess it has been happening daily in the altcoin section but for the Japanese local board it was very easy to identify it as the Japanese local board does not have many posts daily.
For later convenience, I archived the threads before the spams were deleted: https://archive.fo/U3yJ1 https://archive.fo/S8tZm https://archive.fo/NbeZy https://archive.fo/TjxY3 https://archive.fo/Wzb5N https://archive.fo/eqU5d https://archive.fo/1Mu9g https://archive.fo/zK7Ea https://archive.fo/KCWC5 https://archive.fo/lqO5I https://archive.fo/fk6ih You can see that they are similar messages with the "Go to our website" link at the end, and are posted by Newbie accounts with several Activities. These Newbie accounts have the same pattern of the usernames and were registered at similar time. Examples are Orphee5_4g https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445158 bulgarian_bro_pU https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445161 nesto888_nj https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445169 alesamoxa_2e https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445192 vadikmsk_Wq https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445226 dusty00_qd https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445293 ivandobro_Kd https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445462 Alexander0007_qH https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445464 Lucky_knk_l0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2445485 The spams were advertising "Elirtex" whose announcement thread was created today. Elirtex.com - Get 2.6% daily for 12 weeks https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5055639.0 [ https://archive.fo/qEWcb ] The OP hyiper1988 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2442712) was already red tagged by marlboroza for 200percent.io ponzi sockpuppet.
