Title: Request:Nuke user ~DefaultTrust: impersonating, Trust List spam and ban evasion Post by: LoyceV on January 11, 2020, 08:34:07 AM User ~DefaultTrust (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2526482) created his account 6 days after theymos posted DefaultTrust changes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095156.0).
He was probably trying to get on DT2 from accidentally being included but that didn't work: Quote from: Trust settings Prefix a user's name with a tilde (~) if you want to exclude them from your trust network. If you want to trust someone whose name begins with a tilde, prefix their name with a backslash. He got excluded by Foxpup (http://loyce.club/trust/2020-01-04_Sat_06.10h/2526482.html) and didn't get any inclusions.Last week, he posted this: Гocпoдa Peпyтoлoги, peшил oзaбoтитcя cocтaвлeниeм cвoeгo личнoгo тpacт лиcтa и y мeня вoзник вoпpoc. Кaкoe мaкcимaльнoe кoличecтвo пoльзoвaтeлeй я мoгy внecти в cвoй тpacт лиcт? 50000 тoчнo мoжнo. Дyмaю ecли пocтapaтьcя, тo eщe тыщь 10 мoжнo, нo мнe лeнь. Ha бoльшиx цифpax зaпpoc вылeтaeт пo тaймayтy 403Google Translate: Gentlemen, Reputologists, I decided to attend to the compilation of my personal trust sheet and I had a question. What is the maximum number of users I can add to my trust list? 50,000 is definitely possible. I think if you try, then another 10 thousand is possible, but I'm too lazy. In large numbers, the request crashes in timeout 403Last week, user ~DefaultTrust (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2526482) added 30,389 users to his Trust list, which messes with my Trust list viewer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5102296.0). But the username itself is impersonating DefaultTrust, and trolls the Trust system. If he gets Nuked, his Trust list doesn't show up on theymos' weekly trust data dump. I assume it's an alt-account from another user only created for trolling.

The machine has expressed unwillingness to have its data polluted; and willingness to terminate a uid (aka possibly a person's account) for 'impersonating' a data structure and 'trolling' a data structure. Title: Re: Request: Nuke user ~DefaultTrust for impersonating and Trust List trolling Post by: mindrust on January 11, 2020, 10:07:49 AM That was a clever and imaginative way to troll though. Smart dude. Theymos should reward him first (merits maybe?), ban after.

Quote and willingness to terminate a uid (aka possibly a person's account) I'm so glad I don't have to decide on this. All I do is make suggestions :)for 'impersonating' a data structure and 'trolling' a data structure.

You're mistaken, see ~Money~'s Trust list (http://loyce.club/trust/2020-01-04_Sat_06.10h/122968.html).Quote It sounds more like you need to I'm already working on that:NEW: Blacklist The following users are blacklisted for Trust list spam:
I don't see a problem with someone testing the limits of the forums infrastructure, especially someone who is incapable of gaining any trust by looks of it. I think the limits are about the same as the limits for the ignore list, which several people have run into already. The problem in this case is the username he's using for it.I think he can be included by adding this: Code: \~DefaultTrust It's weird though, when I test it (from a non-DT1 account), Chrome hangs on "Waiting for bitcointalk.org...". Quote The fact that usernames can be created starting with ~ is also a bigger problem in itself I'm assuming, so kudos for this user bringing this issue to light. I don't they are impersonating DefaultTrust what so ever though, if anything they are failing to impersonate ~DefaultTrust (distrusting DT), in a meaningless and ineffective manner. I admit it was creative :DQuote Threat level assessment: 1/10. I think you're right. Title updated: CANCEL Request.I'll lock this topic soon. Title: Re: CANCEL Request:Nuke user ~DefaultTrust for impersonating and Trust List trolling Post by: ChuckBuck on January 11, 2020, 11:56:25 AM :o It is impossible to think of someone intentionally polluting your trusted system :o But is it just creativity? I thought some talented guy with a crazy idea would ruin everything. Worrisome didn't happen, lol ;D

For Loycev: Local landmark korner (~DefaultTrust his alt) again puts his crazy experiments on forum and users :D Korner is banned, if ~DefaultTrust is his alt, he should be banned for ban evasion.Title: Re: Request:Nuke user ~DefaultTrust: impersonating, Trust List spam and ban evasion Post by: Chlotide on January 11, 2020, 09:13:47 PM ... How can you say he is alt of "X" when he has 6 posts in total and there is nothing linking them? Hunch?Korner is banned, if ~DefaultTrust is his alt, he should be banned for ban evasion. To me at least the username looks interesting, smart and also funny. Thx for your scripts (used 1 or 2 myself) but just add "if UID=X { i++}" in your code and leave the "white hat troll" live :p If what you said is true I guess whe'll cross that bridge when we get there.

I understand unlocking the topic due to fresh accusations, but why re-open the request to nuke this user? If there in evidence that ~DefaultTrust is an alt of korner, then I understand the request, but at the moment it sounds like hearsay. Therefore: Threat level assessment: 1/10. I think you're right.

I don't think you need to lock it if there's information to come to light, I was only referring to the request being re-opened to be honest. |
