Title: Newbie Flag against lazygurumaster for advertising fake mixer
Post by: LoyceV on June 08, 2022, 10:11:35 AM
User lazygurumaster (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3479316) posted a no doubt fake mixer as "the best". Post archived (https://archive.ph/ydf4Y#selection-539.0-541.8). The domain advertised as "the best mixer" was created only a week ago:

A topic about the .com site (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2221847.0) was created 5 years ago, but it closed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827109.msg60154010#msg60154010). I'll Flag this Newbie as a warning.

Flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2977



Well, that's useless: the Newbie Flag doesn't show up in Bitcoin Discussion.

I checked full history of his posts and I doubt he was intentionally trying to post link for some suspicious scam.
Most likely he just copy-pasted article about mixers he found on internet and made few changes.
I made quick plagiarism check for one part of his post and it showed around 50% of his content was plagiarized.
He should be banned for doing this, here is one of the source articles:

It's not completely useless because anyone can check his profile for more information, but I agree that Bitcoin Discussion (and few more boards) should have visible trust feedback for accounts.

I had no idea flags (and whatever else) weren't visible in Bitcoin Discussion, and that seems pretty ridiculous to me.  Trust scores and all the data that's usually included in your avatar/profile space should be visible in every section IMO.  Regardless of whether there's trading going on in BD or any other section, it's nice to be able to see a member's stats--and I'm also pretty sure it wouldn't be a hard thing to get that done.

Anyhow, if this jackoff is a serial plagiarist, there's no need to worry about any flags, is there?  I'm assuming there's an imminent ban coming and that said plagiarism has been reported (am I right, dkbit98?).

User is nuked.
Flag, scammer and plagiarism in three posts is just too much to expect a long future here.
