Title: Should this be called bot or what?
Post by: Perfectbaby on September 28, 2024, 09:49:52 AM
I don't know the right section to post this but I can equally move it when someone point it out to me. Just that i was so much disturbed by the telegram notification bot and was looking for a way to stop that particular post hitting on my notifications but no way since the user regularly creates new account every 1-3 minutes to repeat same post. Also i appreciate the mod/admin who is active either banning that particular user and their post, and all the post has been deleted when i tried tracing the post.

My question is; is this person a robot who create account within just a minutes to post, and what is his intention for repeating same post same topic and same content, in that post all has been moved to archived (https://ninjastic.space/topic/5511023). Below shows the screenshot of everything i mean. Also didn't just have all that time take all the screenshot of that same post.

Is there a way I can stop this post from coming to my notification bot?

It is a spam marketing or spam scam bot.
Forum under spammers attack  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5510593.0) has answers for you.

But what did you set for your notification bot?
Did you set your notification bot to alert you all new topics, posts in Meta board?

This is in the right section. We're currently dealing with it, the spammers will eventually give up like they always do.
There's also a couple threads opened already about this, you can read more here:

What I read your main problem is received notification from these threads, which you supposed to post in this thread [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.msg54441882;topicseen#msg54441882) instead of creating a new thread.

I see that there's a feature to ignore certain thread, but it seems for existed thread instead of upcoming new thread.

Simply stop tracking the boards that he has been spamming with it.

Was there really any need for this thread? Literally everyone making use of the telegram notifier bot saw this spammer. This infact isn't the first time something like this is happening like Cyrus just said he'll eventually tire out and chill. I suggest you lock this thread to prevent spamming.

My suggestion is to simply stop following those boards with your Telegram bot for a day or two. You can always manually check for new topics when you're active on the forum. As Cyrus already said, the spammer will run out of options and eventually give up.

I remember the old days of the casino bonus code spam attacks. This is quite similar to what happened back then, and they had a habit of posting when the forum was less active, but members started reporting such posts and mods kept deleting a nuking the involved accounts promptly until they eventually stopped.
It's just a matter of time before this also give up.

Thank you for the efforts. Sincerely speaking it's extremely too annoying seeing repetitive post an what same contents and same intension. I got provoked by constantly receiving same promotional offer to lure newbies into their scam agenda.

Good option then, at least maybe after few days if they ran out of time then will have to activate it again. When they come with different format automatically i will deactivate the bots in those sections when it normalized i do reactive again.

You can check your subscribe thread, which gives you notifications even in your email Profile > Notification and Email.

Besides, the Telegram bot also offers this kind of feature if a thread you want ignore or a user. But to remove those spammers it seems a very long way before it happens every day they reborn.

I'm just saying here:  I think you knew damn well the answer to that question before you even wrote it out here.  I would imagine that's some scumfuc using a script to post all of that garbage, because it'd be extremely tedious to do it manually and spammers opt for the easiest route 99.9999% of the time.

Ain't nobody going to fall for that nonsense, not even newbies--although I agree that anything like that should be nuked on sight, because there's a very slight chance a naive or greedy member might give that scam a shot.  Some folks have dollar signs in their eyes and vanilla pudding in between their ears, if you know what I'm saying.
