Title: Justin Dowman using multiple accounts to bump his thread?
Post by: pugman on June 17, 2018, 01:52:55 AM
User Justin Dowman (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1604107) has been known for breaking rules before (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3953000.msg37699966#msg37699966), and is now again(possibly) doing it.

He has been posting with possible bots, but is definitely using mutlple accounts to bump his thread.
The thread I am talking about is this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3374782.0;all

It's hard for us to prove he is using multiple accounts and bots to bump the thread.

Most of these look like the generic 1 line garbage you see posted in tons of threads.

What is blatant is the users lack of proper post formatting. Below is their generic bump.

For detailed info find me on telegram @mcay10

Then 2 minutes later a reply post

Hi there, it is very interesting for us.
Could you answer on that, please?

Is the current function of the BOT only to distribute Airdrop tokens?
It doesn't distribute tokens. It gives referral links to your users and they can invite other members to the group and get free tokens. You will receive their ID, emails wallet address

These could have easily been put together. Just looking through the page there are a few examples of the problem you've pointed out.

Edit: decided not to edit the quoted post

Can't mod /supermod see the IP? I was a mod time ago in one forum and I could see Ip from users.

Admins can, however moderators can't. I'm not sure what forum you were moderator on, but it just seems an unnecessary privacy concern to allow all moderators to see IP addresses. If an IP address has to be taken in to account for any reason at all on a user then the moderators can just leave it for an admin to act upon it.

Mods, is he banned? He hasn't been online for more than 27 hours. Although, he still has his signature on.
If in case he is not banned, what is the appropriate action to be taken here?

There ain't no thing as supermod. It is called Global Moderator. And no they can't see IP address,like Welsh said.

These are shills. Why do you expect them to have a proper post formatting. These are throwaway accounts. Why is it hard to prove, it is crystal clear that he is using multiple accounts to bump his thread.

I decided not to report it, as I was unsure about the scenario, so I am waiting for the mods to give a reply on this.

How hard you think is to use a proxy for this ? I would not be surprised if there are bots with proxy support for this with some few thousand generic comments supplied as well.

You can confirm that bumping is going on there but there is no way to prove that it is him doing this. What is a competitor is doing this to malign his image ?
