Bitcoin Forum

I am not sure how many of you have noticed this, but I have seen many threads created by newbies and Jr.Members for a while with innovative ways to shill the name Bitget, which is a relatively new exchange. Tried reporting them but they are not violating any forum rules so they get away with it but it's obvious that they are shilling the name of their exchange instead of doing it in the authentic form of advertising here.

Some of their threads:

Many more can be added here...

If the mods aren't seeing anything wrong with their activities, then why should you? If they were spamming the forum with 1000 different replies and opening hundreds of new threads to shill, then I'm sure the mods would take some action. Just a few little posts is not enough to warrant any action ATM.

This SEO spam aka spamdexing started since last year and I started tagging such activity a while ago but I don't see them stopping. Some refer to Bitget as a good exchange but their way of promoting here is disgusting.

The only solution to this problem is by placing a filter or restriction on "Bitget" keyword for newbie-Jr.Members rank and to avoid this restriction, you must rank-up or purchase a copper membership. Thus, this spam will be significantly reduced.

It's probably a futile endeavor but a commendable one, so far I haven't seen a lot of these people posting exactly Bitget but I do see others that are doing similar things where they ask you about this specific website and then they ramble about how they are newbies and they're asking if there are others out there that knows about this website, hoping that someone would click on it. Thank you for the compilation, I assume that it's going to be a big one because there's definitely more accounts that's going to be doing this stupid shilling.

After so many years on the forum, you still don't know that mods don't work independently (in most cases) but work according to the reports of forum members. In other words, even if these BG shills made 1000 posts a day, and no one reported it, nothing would happen.

---

As for it being an innovative shilling, I wouldn't agree with that statement - it's just the absolute bottom that someone can fall to in order to promote their business. I have already tagged several users because of this, because it is an alt farm that works against the rules of the forum - advertising in posts is not allowed.

I remember i tried to report thread which spam bitget link few years ago, although only few of them got deleted. I'll just add those users to ignore list, since such SEO spam (without adding direct link to bitget) only removed sometimes by moderator.

Is it? It was established in 2018, not so new.
Late last year, Nutildah created a thread about this behavior: what's up with all the Bitget shills? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472656.msg63096579#msg63096579), and tagged some of these shillers, you can find more names in that topic. It is a very bad behaviour and since they are paying newbies/Jr members for this, they wouldn't mind if they are tagged or if their posts are removed, they'd just continue doing what they are paid to do.

I see the name of the exchange only from last year so I assumed that they are new and also they ran an actual signature campaign on the forum last year for just two weeks then they came back to their shilling campaign.

Likely they won't care about deleting the posts or even banning them cause they will just pop out with new accounts again and do this again and again so the possible solution for stopping them is to put a word filter on Bitget for low-ranked members as hugeblack suggested.

Looks like they reopened their shill campaign that started on what appears to be their Discord:


It is annoying, and such posts can often be reported as spam, especially if they have little to nothing to do with the topic of discussion.

If there is more than an obvious intention (and here it is undoubted), then reporting a post for spam/shilling is not something that will solve the problem, at least not within a normal time frame. BG shills also appeared on the ATT forum, but their admin reacted literally in a few minutes after the report and cleaned them from the system. Some obviously disagree with such actions, but is there any logic in letting someone make a few hundred spam posts in order to be punished?

But, I will not call this is innovative because they are simply copying those ugly methods. I am sure there had been other businesses/services which already attempted this kind of methodology to promote across this forum. If I remember correctly, fastdice was the one who started a topic on buying high rank forum accounts to promote themselves by early 2016 or around.

You are able to spot those things because they are new topics by newbies but I am sure there should be other accounts who might be spamming across the forum by including above exchange names in replies of existing topics started by other people. I could recall a scenarios where some high rank accounts (above newbie accounts) do mix up some casino name in their each and every post in gambling discussion sub and that continued for considerable amount of time as well (not sure that they stopped themselves or mods took action).

Overall, always some affiliate do spam here on their business somehow. Obviously they are spamming this forum but not explicitly violating any forum rules which is the reason they are enjoying their longer stay.

I think like yahoo
it depends on how the shilling is done, if it is done aggressively and spamming then you will be punished, like any spam is done
introducing banned words can make sense but we risk making it too big and then having false positives

in the examples proposed in the first post it doesn't seem to me that there is such exaggerated spam

I encountered this type of marketing years ago and many are still doing its subtle marketing part of it is content marketing where instead of direct advertising they create a storyline that is relevant to what the audience wants to read of course they mention the platform they are promoting in their storyline.
You are right you have to be innovative to do this and you need engagement, some forums accept this, and some forums don't allow this, and some forums encourage this as long as there are no links in the post.
But it's hard to consider this spam as the content does not revolve around the mentioned product but around the storyline.

Reference to this
The Art of Subtle Marketing: Making Marketing Invisible (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/art-subtle-marketing-making-invisible-talha-javaid-qbzif)

Obviously, some people don't mind spam and shills, the only thing that matters is that the daily quota of posts can be fulfilled - even if that means that you participate in a topic with made-up stories that aim to promote some shady company. If you were a moderator on this forum, shills would enjoy it because you wouldn't delete their posts - as long as the storyline is imaginative enough.

But if you checked recent post history of user mentioned by OP, you'll find out that they frequently mention word "bitget" on majority of their post. So it's not subtle marketing and IMO should be considered as spam.

This is why I posted some forums that accept this some forums don't allow this and some forums encourage this as long as there are no links in the post.

When I still had my forum we had some members who created a discussion about current events and they managed to mention the name of the product in a subtle way focusing on the storyline, we sometimes deleted the part that mentioned the service and retained the discussion.

It's really up to the moderators they have full discretion on this as they are guided on what action to take.

As I was reading through some posts on the trading discussion board. I found another shilling post by a notorious shill who is even already neutral tagged about the same thing. The content of the post has nothing to do with the title...lol

Title: Having a Decentralized Derivative Exchange Problem, and I Found Aark Digital


It's looks like they have resurrected yet again

It's not just "a few little posts", I just added it to my spam keyword page (https://loyce.club/badposts/spam.html). Starting from January 24, this keyword wasn't posted in the first 3 months. After that, in just 1.5 months, it was posted 646 times.
Let's notify @Mitchell, see if MindlessElectron (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1136003) can wipe those posts.

Hmmmm, if someone has some example of sentences they frequently use I can definitely help clean up. They are clearly breaking our rules by having users spam their crap.

I have been tracking every post created with the phrase 'Bitget' since I created this thread via ninjastic bot and as far as I can see they are not using any common sentences in their posts and the most resemblance I found is they use the term Binance and Bitget or Bitget and (another exchange's name) to make it look like they are not shilling even though it's obvious.

Who is this? Someone has already added a neutral tag on you, stating that you are making false claims about something they never said. You claimed I shill different companies without evidence.
I agreed with people who said I mention Bitget too much, and I've reduced that. But why are you adding a false tag on me as if you're the perfect one? Do you mean I shouldn't talk about any platform here? Bro, chill. You aren't going to gain anything from adding false tags on people. Lucius (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=533583), you should stop it. Lying against people isn't a good way to have a good reputation anywhere. You could also mind your own business and help others while you have a good reputation. Please remove your neutral tag on me. It's false.

What more evidence do you need?
It's there in the reference links

Look at another post of yours two days later, what the hell does it even mean  ::)

You clearly haven't done so, even after getting called out (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472656.msg63200197#msg63200197) by nutildah. I don't think you will change.

I might add my tag too.

Add whatever you wanna add. Its your problem. You can add as many tags as you want. Doesn't "Bitget drop" sound like a typo error and a mistake to you? It's obviously a typo error and a mistake. But you are just eager to make show off :D
Also, he said I shill for different companies. Don't you understand simple English? Show the different company proofs. Well, I can understand you and your friend.
I'm adding a tag for you too. I'll wait for his response and see if he deserves one as well.

Its pretty obvious you're part of the Bitget spam campaign. You've been called out on it at least a few times in the past.


I don't understand what you're complaining about -- that the wording of your second neutral isn't 100% accurate? The point is this: you're shilling a questionable exchange by spamming the forum with useless posts. Neutral tag is pretty fair for a relentless spammer of your nature.

Anyone can write whatever they want in someone's trust feedback, but it is important that there are facts behind it, and not vengeful feedback that has no basis in fact. My feedback to you is the result of your activity that was detected even before, and the only reason why I didn't write the name of the company you shill is that I don't want to mention that name at all. In addition, all of you who shill one company will sooner or later shill another, so sooner or later that feedback will probably be completely accurate.

Retaliatory feedbacks is very wrong, you don't leave a feedback because you were left one. The exchange you are accused of shilling appears in almost all of your post, isn't that suspicious? Of course you can talk about what interests you in this forum, but when yourself and a lot of other users just show up and start mentioning the name of one company in all posts that you all make, then that is shilling.

So, you are aware that your feedback is not accurate and you still go ahead and drop it? Well, I'm not surprised. As the feedback on your profile states that you lie against people.
Also, you are free to mention the name of the company and let us know. So far your job here is to monitor people's profile and give unnecessary feedbacks.

The feedback is accurate. I don't even know what you are trying to prove here. You have been called out a number of times, and you refused to change, so the feedback is well deserved.

You think your dry threats work here? The best thing you should have done was to acknowledge your mistake and try to change, but instead you are just trying to dig a deeper hole for yourself.
Speaking of digging a deeper hole. There might be a case of bounty cheating and linked accounts as well (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.msg55998588#msg55998588), It might be worth looking it to for better understanding.

You are trying to prove nonsense. Someone once accused me of this bounty stuff, and I posted several screenshots to prove them wrong. Imagine digging holes that I don't even know about. I think you guys are either retired old people or young guys who have no job.

Also, I saw your feedback, and I think you are satisfied now. :D ::) You can add as much as you like. I've seen lots of higher-ranked members with lots of feedback like these, and I know people like you with fake trust scores gave it to them. I know your type of people. Lol

I personally offer a reward for whoever manages to prove that it is ban evasion. There is an old saying that says "he who lies, steals.". I just wonder if these shills realize how much damage they are causing to the company they are promoting in this way?

You don't know shit. You've been here for over 6 years and haven't learned a damn thing, except how to cheat better. The persistent focus on "easy money" has retarded your growth, which is why after 6 years on the forum you are still chasing pennies.

We know you are Cryptolanad; aside from using the same address (https://ninjastic.space/address/0x467c1dCE11AA733fDac5CadA42207F5c0a1dfC4C), you've admitted it in the past. There are several instances of akjuve (https://ninjastic.space/addresses?address=0xcbc49ec62f35AD143bB9f17f2788D43F6FFa1885) (banned) depositing ETH to the same address Cryptolanad deposited ETH to.

In addition, such transactions like these could only be made if the same user was controlling all the addresses:

https://etherscan.io/txs?a=0x467c1dce11aa733fdac5cada42207f5c0a1dfc4c&p=2
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/06/17/cqZUJ.png

Why do I know this? Because that's 3 transactions done in 4 minutes. It would require extremely skillful coordination if the parties were different people.


I spent about half an hour looking into it and there's a huge tangle of alt accounts; its likely possible to connect them in a firmer manner but I don't have time for it at the moment.

These three different chats should answer your query.

Some guys are just trying to find a safe way to back up their keys then, and Ethereum gas fees weren't affordable for everyone, even BNB and Tron. The world is a big one, and there are different kinds of people from various backgrounds, etc., in case you didn't know that

Also, feel free to spend more hours to look for more information. I would appreciate that

I don't see what any of this has to do with what I posted. You've been full of shit since your very first post. Lucky for you, there's some campaigns here that are still happy to have you, so long as you churn out spam at a consistent rate. Also, yes, its true, I have better things to do with my time.

Do you know I don't really give a shit about what you think?
I never expect any of you to believe me. And I feel honored with all of you becoming some sort of monitoring spirits. Also, as someone is willing to pay because of me, which reminds me of some movies. Anyway, it would be better if you do something tangible with your time. But honestly, I wish you would go deeper into someone else's matters ;D :D ;D. It's also a job since they are willing to pay you.

Two more BG shill accounts detected :

Ticdeneb (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3589666) - post history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3589666;sa=showPosts)
Phoenixtrader (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3613483) - post history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3613483;sa=showPosts)

Topic -> Link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5500527.0) (archived (https://archive.ph/rqMhW))

I had an account here because our country banned Binance, and this is a good option. However, I have not used their platform because of what I see on how they run their shilling marketing now; it was mentioned that they run a signature campaign here, so they should stick to this method. Still, instead, they prefer a resort to this kind of marketing that could result to a word filter.
I have a bad feeling about this exchange, even though I checked on Coingecko, and they had a good trust rating.

Does anyone know if they use a spreadsheet to document users / posts, has anyone signed up to investigate yet?

Trying to help deal this out on another forum...thanks in advance.

From what I understand, the whole thing is coordinated through their discord server (https://discord.com/invite/bitget), where participants have to post their proof of work screenshots in order to get rewarded. They post in every community and Bitcointalk happens to be one of them, so there are many participants and very many POW posts.
I don't think you will find it easy tracking all of them. I also don't think there is a spreadsheet of sorts, as the verification and rewarding seems somewhat automated

Do you know what channel this takes places in on the server? I was rooting around through there, couldn't find anything about the shilling campaign.

This is the link to the channel ---> https://discord.com/channels/876747633052499999/1051775754083504168 (Or if you are in the server, you can see something like  ⚡|rp-claims)
In the task2earn-on-discord channel, you can clearly see that they keep asking users to post in different crypto communities and then earn some coins by posting screenshots  ;D
This is one of the message links ---> https://discord.com/channels/876747633052499999/1275760873918431314/1275767724156649503

I didn't actually see any Bitcointalk submissions but I only scrolled through about 36 hours of the participation posts before I got bored. Anyway, here is the relevant clause from the bounty instructions (https://discord.com/channels/876747633052499999/1275760873918431314/1275767724156649503) as mentioned by logfiles:

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/09/05/9ppOP.png

So when I see posts that follow these instructions by known Bitget shills, I'm gonna report them as spam and use this as the reference.

I did scroll through the submissions too without seeing any recent Bitcointalk related screenshots. It definitely means that the reports and compilation threads like this one are doing a great job deterring the shills from spamming in this forum.
Most of the culprits have resorted to using other community platfroms.

Here is another B i t g e t shill --->  AntonietteK (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3528962)
The user's 15 post hisotry only filled with B i t g e t related posts like this one
He was previously tagged by OP for shilling yet another exchange.

Already banned & wiped, good job.

Hopefully the message will get out that if you spam Bitget here, your posts will get deleted & you might not get paid for them (depends on how fast we catch and report them  :D )

My spam keyword list (https://loyce.club/badposts/spam.html) seems to disagree :(

They are like cockroaches that simply cannot be exterminated - and the only thing that would have an effect, in my opinion, would be blocking keywords, instead of which something like "shilling banned" would be displayed. It may sound too radical, but a company that pays for this kind of advertising does not deserve better treatment.

However, one more important fact should be highlighted, which is that we see that some more experienced members knowingly/unknowingly participate in shilling by entering discussions in which they should not participate.

---

I need a reference for the report so I'll just edit this post to show the moderator the obvious intent in the next topic.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5519933.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5519933.msg64762032#msg64762032 - Shill 1

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5519933.msg64765238#msg64765238 - Shill 2

Of course, the OP is a long-detected shill.

Thanks for this

It turns out that Bournesparks (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3616524) is linked to the OP of that shill thread (VicManton). Just like VicManton, Bournesparks shills the same exchange and has resorted to even posting screenshots so that he may not be caught if you look at his post history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3616524;sa=showPosts)

VicManton sent 2 merits to Bournesparks in another rather useless reply (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5504972.msg64390158#msg64390158), shilling B i t g e t and guess who the OP was? VicManton!

Through the merit network;

Bournesparks also received merit from Iamcrypticguy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3569209) another shill

Iamcrypticguy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3569209) also sent merit to Phoenixtrader (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3613483), MarvieJ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3569655) and Ticdeneb (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3589666) and the pattern is the same!

Phoenixtrader (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3613483)

MarvieJ  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3569655)

Ticdeneb (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3589666)

Bournesparks in turn sends some merits to R1dwanRz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3562703) in another useless shill post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5505291.msg64400289#msg64400289)
R1dwanRz as well already has two tags

This justifies that the accounts are under the control of one person and have no good intentions in this forum

This post will act as my reference for the tags

@logfiles, my report on the topic in question resulted in a lock, which is better than if nothing happened - but it would still be better if the topic was deleted. Moderators unfortunately do not delete topics that have several pages, although those who unknowingly (or knowingly) participate in such fake discussions would be much more careful if several of their posts were deleted every week.

Yes, unfortunately shills not only do their dirty work but also abuse merits - now the only question is how did they get merits at all - on the black market or did they manage to deceive someone with their posts?

Most of the merits were acquired from some boards where senior members and merit sources thought they were encouraging newbies probably post much better and rank up. Fortunately, the shills are so stupid, and they kept sharing the merits within the network of their alts.
They just do three common things
1. Make posts using AI
2. Shill bitget
3. Merit shit posts of their alt accounts.

It appears they are back again with their shills on bitcointalk too.

I just noticed one on the  Development & Technical board who woke up after 5 years of inactivity and decided to post this. I am sure it's a shill account

I don't think they've ever been away. Have a look at loyce.club/badposts/spam.html (https://loyce.club/badposts/spam.html), and CTRL-F "bitget".

Ahh, I see they just stuck with alt boards and a few local boards, which I haven't visited for months or even years.

A section of them that I noticed lately now use screenshots or images of the exchange, vs using words or naming it. This shows they clearly know what they are doing is not right and will get pinpointed as soon as they dare post the name of the exchange here. All this is because they incentives they were promised from the exchange's discord channel.

@logfiles, they use all possible tricks to try to remain unnoticed, it's not just screenshots, but also the use of hyperlinks. They are literally everywhere, not only on forums but also on social networks, and this way of marketing is clearly paying off for them. I don't know if there is a solution for such things, because even if they were blacklisted and even if they were automatically banned, the number of profiles they create is simply too large.

In my opinion, an even bigger problem is that people are obviously falling for such cheap tricks, believing that these shills are legitimate people who actually use that CEX and who share their personal opinions.

Spam wouldn't exist without gullible people falling for it.

There would always be victims because, a lot of persons don’t know any better. You can’t be aware of every other site out there running legitimate business.
What I find useful is the fact that, the people who are well aware aren’t letting it just slip off without putting out some sort of report to help put the situation in check by relevant authorities.
Even then, it would continue to exist so long as, hosting sites view them for a new service and they meet up with the registration criteria.

You guys did open my eyes to these and that’s some benefit from being on the forum.

There is no doubt about that - and considering that this method of promotion/advertising clearly produces results, there are a lot of people who we can consider quite naive and gullible. However, I can say from experience that a part of people do not fall into these categories, they simply do not care if someone opened the topic because they have a legitimate intention to discuss something or if it is just covert advertising.

By the way, thanks for the merits - this is the largest amount I've ever received at once :)

Apparently, what I have seen is that most of the exchanges, platforms, brands, projects, companies does something similar, it's just the way BG doing things is a bit more aggressive than the others. They are just brutal, repetitive and don't give up even after getting nuked again and again. Everything is paid now and it's much cheaper to just use the shillers... :)

And they are actually achieving their goals, regardless their positive or negative branding. Because whenever I'm out in the internet surfing, out of 5 crypto related ads that pops in my feed, one must be from BG.

Yep, this thread is a classic example ---> Think I have to stop trading futures as I get to use this strategy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536611). The OP of the thread already has tags for shilling the exchange. In his post, he doesn't mention it but just creates a fake post showing how he has been trading while sharing a screenshot of the exchange (this is all done such that he get paid the other side while his post doesn't get reported and deleted from here)

Now three more shill accounts continue to bump the thread with the same intention.
1. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536611.msg65222265#msg65222265
2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536611.msg65227435#msg65227435
3. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536611.msg65227996#msg65227996

This clearly shows that a person or a few people are controlling these accounts. Sadly, some members who commented on the thread did not see the trick.

Here's another one:

Olamidetechie (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3691031)

He's mentioned bitget in 17 of his last 20 posts. He's extremely excited that the exchange is listing several Solana shitcoins. Obviously incentivized spamming, even if he covers it up better than most of the other shills. I for one would never use an exchange that resorts to these kinds of tactics to attract new users.

That shows you are who the people that rated u negative is, you do zero research but bring out half back story, i will surely report you. LIARRRR

Good catch :)

Screenshots are nothing new when it comes to BG shills, but they can definitely go under the radar for much longer than other methods. Unfortunately for us, that CEX is very popular in some African countries, and according to what I saw on the ATT forum, most of the shills are from there.

This one is especially angry with you, and how could he not be when you interfere in his "business" ;)

The weird thing is its just a neutral. Does their campaign forbid neutral trusts? Not like his account is signature campaign worthy. Weird.

They are not even affected by negative feedbacks, because it doesn't matter what the community thinks about them as long as they achieve results. He is just one of those who do not like to be mentioned in a negative context - because if something is profitable, then he will defend it no matter how wrong it is.

Hilarious. In his very next post:


Then he left me this fantastic feedback:


Just for future reference, here's a list of all accounts that have mentioned Bitget 10 or more times since March 1st of this year:

1. Olamidetechie [35]
2. Tom Ronald [21]
3. Iamcrypticguy [16]
4. Bournesparks [15]

I keep seeing these Bitget accounts. How is this allowed here, isn't it considered spam when such an organized method of shilling a single service with in genuine posts is used? They are not even really opening discussions, they are just spamming the same stuff using the same tricks.

I found this thread by following the rating on this account.

Unfortunately they are not breaking any forum rules, yes it is very annoying and a terrible way for that exchange to advertise their platform here, but the shillers are being "innovative" with their shilling and nothing much can be done.

They start threads or reply to existing topics and find a way to infuse their employers name into their posts. The posts cannot be reported to be deleted, because they are normal posts, so it is what it is. That said, i would be worried about using a platform that advertises themselves in this way.

No? It breaks all these rules to some degree.

They keep continuing to post zero value threads that are misleading, over and over again using multiple accounts. I don't get it because that is the definition of spam.

They aren't trolling and their shilling isn't off-topic, like i already explained to you, they manage to stay on-topic. As for zero/low value posts, you'd have to take that up with a moderator by reporting the posts, i am pretty certain they would not be deleted, because that as well can be subjective most times. Truth is there are worse posts than theirs in the forum, so theirs doesn't fall under the lowest of the lows as regards spam.

Make no mistakes, i detest their shilling and i don't know why an exchange would advertise in this way, but i am basically telling you why they are breaking no forum rules, which should be easy to understand.

The conclusion then is that the forum has stupid rules, I get it. I see also here reports that for AI they don't ban either.  ;D

I would not agree that what they are doing is not against the rules of the forum, because posts in which certain members systematically shill someone or something are something that will definitely be deleted if it is reported to the moderators with concrete evidence (post history). There's no justification for this, least of all your explanation that they're staying on topic so they probably have a justification for what they're doing.

They advertise this way because it costs them practically nothing except worthless tokens. It's a kind of bounty campaign, you get instructions on what to do, then you send links to a manager who counts how many times you mentioned their company.

If that is the case, then what is up with this situation? Has no senior member tried making a collective report on this? If an initial group of reported accounts gets banned, that would set a precedent for the next accounts or posts to get banned or removed easier. Right?

I personally haven't noticed BG shills in the parts of the forum that I personally visit, so it's possible that they are active in some boards that are not interesting to me personally. Whenever I see someone mention that CEX, I always check that member's post history and it's not hard for me to make a report.

They were a real scourge on the ATT forum, but after months of intense fighting, they were literally banished. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that those who pay them will probably realize that they are doing more harm than good.

I was previously active in the Altcoins section, and I noticed them frequently promoting this exchange, shilling newly listed coins and advertising the platform’s offers. It was extremely annoying, and I had previously reported many of their threads and tagged a lot of their accounts. . They can easily be identified either by the way they ask questions about exchanges or through the points I just mentioned.

We also hope they will be banished from this forum as well, since they are violating forum rules and posting useless content. I also hope that no member engages in their discussions, but instead reports their threads and shares their accounts here so we can tag them.

Yeah it is only in the altcoin section that I have seen them and they are always misleading threads. Sometimes I read the title and hope for something interesting, and as I continue to read I realize that it is yet another one of these shill threads. Disappointing.

Same here! I have never once in my life saw anyone shilling BG here. Or maybe because I was on the wrong side, mostly meta, beginner and local. Do you have any idea which boards they mostly try to shill their projects to? Altcoins? Another thing I wanna know, does BTT takes the same kind of actions that Altcoinstalk does? I mean restricting users, banning them at some point in cases of shilling? I must confess I have been using BTT for almost 2-3 years, but I'm unware of the concequences of shilling projects here. I guess we never stop learning.
