Title: suspect posts in board "bitcoin-discussion"
Post by: fronti on March 06, 2019, 10:11:37 AM
I notices that in the board Bitcoin-Discussion such simple copy and past posts from news sites apear. (with a link so not sure if we can count them as plagatism)
all of these are first time poster and the only post.

I'm talking about these posts:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117508.msg50042237#msg50042237
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117503.msg50042130#msg50042130

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117511.0
and some more..



I thinks this is a bot testing but not sure if to report or not.

Ah new posting bot emerges. I nuked them all and hopefully, autoban will soon recognize its pattern.

Looks like the posts already got nuked, I don't know about the users though.  If you find something odd, I suggest reporting it.  Like the reporting page states:
