Title: Howeycoins thread attracts account farmers Post by: bitsnack on January 08, 2019, 06:40:13 PM Not 100 percent sure which section this should go in, so just going to put it here in Meta.
The following profiles all were created within a hour of each other. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2518745 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2518748 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2518741 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2518744 Then we have another group: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2519407 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2519413 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2519544 All of them have trash posted almost one after another on the Howeycoins thread.. Anything that can be done about this? Title: Re: Howeycoins thread attracts account farmers Post by: suchmoon on January 08, 2019, 06:42:44 PM Anything that can be done about this? Report the low-value posts, particularly ones outside Howeycoins thread (which is pinned so bumping it doesn't matter much). Title: Re: Howeycoins thread attracts account farmers Post by: mdayonliner on January 08, 2019, 06:55:43 PM Well these is not spamming Howeycoins coin in-fact they don't have any idea about the thread at all. They are doing their job.
- Going to the board Announcements (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0) - Posting on the Ntt thread. If N is the last topic of the first page then it's bumping at the top. So they are not necessarily posting in the Howeycoins ANN. Anyway I will go with suchmoon's suggestion, report to moderator whenever you encounter any. Title: Re: Howeycoins thread attracts account farmers Post by: Alone055 on January 09, 2019, 02:50:45 PM Probably a bunch of thread bumping accounts created to continue their meaningless business of bumping every single thread to the top and irritate the users and mods from such happenings in the forum.
You will get tired of counting if you continue to look for such accounts being created every hour, each day of every week. The logic behind them doing this is still unknown to the public, but they probably have a hidden marketplace of thread bumping services somewhere where they get paid for doing such kind of things because I can't believe that a person would waste any of his time doing something which earns him nothing at all. Anything that can be done about this? For now, do what @suchmoon suggested. And, pray for them to get a job so that they stop doing all this and we get rid of it. ::) Title: Re: Howeycoins thread attracts account farmers Post by: HODL2090 on January 09, 2019, 03:05:47 PM but they probably have a hidden marketplace of thread bumping services somewhere where they get paid for doing such kind of things because I can't believe that a person would waste any of his time doing something which earns him nothing at all. Most likely so, I have once been approached on telegram to join some service on bitcointalk, I didn't follow through with the discussion, so I can not ascertain that it was a 'paid to bump service's. There are so many of such account in the forum, we can only do our part by reporting them when found. |
