Bitcoin Forum

Since when did the forum become a channel or YouTube spam to promote tool!

So interestingly, I find this user CassiopeiaServices (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2507759) to have created only threads and made zero replies to any just to promote a channel.

Haven’t created made 36posts,
33 of those are threads,
3 are comments.
Value added to the forum: 0

I think that’s because, 95% of the threads created barely have a comment on them.

What caught my attention was the speed at which the user just created 3 recent thread on an average of 4minutes in the Bitcoin discussion board. Mostly using these threads and the forum for an avenue to promote a YouTube channel. In essence, the forum is just a spam to promote tool for the user.


What has become of these place and these people. I mean, is this how they met this place and would this be what they wish for this community to become?

Have you tried sending reports to moderators? In all identical, and not even so blatant advertisements of their YouTube channels, user posts are deleted without a trace. I'm sure it will happen this time too. I don’t even want to follow the links so as not to increase the number of views for him. ;D
The YouTuber just came to the wrong place.

Most definitely, I have sent out reports on all the user’s most recent post, waiting on moderators to act on them.

And latest line on modlog show that user got nuked.


Good thing moderator act very fast this time, while most spammer remain not nuked/banned even after massive report and dedicated thread about their spam.

Just in to note that, great job guys. We just solved yet another problem on the rise.

It’s was just a terrible approach towards the forum. I guess I can proceed to lock this thread in 24hrs if need be.

Good to know that the moderators answered swiftly and the user was nuked. But is that the end? It could be that as we are talking, the user has created 2 more accounts to continue his deeds ;D
We will get him reported, again and he gets nuked again and the cycle continues...

It is much easier to report an account in a few clicks than to register a new account which takes several steps. The spammer is the one losing in this cycle as they spend too much time for too little reward.

Bonus points that repeated nuked accounts increases the evil units attached to an IP, so the user finds it more difficult each time to create a new one.

About 2021 or so, once the forum became popular.  It happens everywhere, and moderators are needed.

When they don’t stop, you don’t stop. Eventually, they learn or find some place else to continue their spamming. Besides, it’s would be one individual against the rest of us. It doesn’t matter if they are more, we don’t have tired hands either to clean the forum and reorientate users who needs it.

I said, I’ll lock this thread in 24hrs and I guess it’s about that. If need be that I should reopen, kindly pm. Thanks.
