Title: Spam triggered by a keyword?
Post by: TheBeardedBaby on April 06, 2022, 06:35:41 AM
Every day there's a new surprise here on the forum from the spammers. lol
I saw a few ads of a tax service on a popular block explorer some time ago. I checked the forum and saw they had also a signature campaign here and decided to ask if people used it before and what they think about it.

So yesterday I started a thread with a question (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5393176.msg59765786#msg59765786) about a reliable tax service and mentioned the one I found.

Not so long after (1H), a few accounts registered and posted a positive feedbacks about it.

Maybe I had some hope about this service but after this shit posting, my confidence in them when like this (https://c.tenor.com/A3_uv_vy9FkAAAAC/crypto-rugpull.gif).

Anyway, back to the topic. Either some shitposter decided to farm new accounts, or there's a service to leave positive feedback about services triggered by keywords.

Please don't report those shitposters yet. I want to see if I can collect more accounts to be busted together.

This has been going on for years (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1146344.msg37438029#msg37438029), in many topics. They spam something that may be slightly on-topic, often with an irrelevant story. My guess it they're a combination of sweatshop workers and bots. And some topics (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1146344.80) are just filled with spam.

Would it be beneficial to test it out again? Like creating a thread with that specific keyword or brand name in the post?

Maybe there would be more farmed accounts or something related to that when there's a new post.
