Title: Someone trying to farm his activity.
Post by: johanliebert on August 13, 2018, 01:34:36 AM
I see someone with more than 10 accounts trying to increase activity + post in this bounty topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4728973.0
He commented the facebook account does not exist, the general characteristics of the Facebook account is the last four digits of the birth year.
When checking Date Registered these accounts are the same date.

Here is link some post of him in page 43, there are too many I can not list all:

Activity increases every 14 days, so, no matter what, you can put hundred of quotes and yet, you will have 15 activity as much every 14 days... so...
He/she will become another "Forever junior" eventually and probably get banned sooner or later.

yes , 15 as much , depending on the central time etc. but yes. What I mean is that "farming activity" is an strange concept, the activity has its own time

I mean, there is one person who owns a lot of accounts, and he's trying to spam a topic to increase activity by invalid way. I think the forum does not allow that?

Ok. Report it. Unnecessary and redundant bumps are not allowed. There are even places receiving money for bumping services  ??? ??? and also places offering to create and account and  give it some activity too.

I just think he uses sophisticated tricks, pretending to be a bounty participant in the project so he can increase his activity in a comfortable way instead of going to other topics to post a useful content for the forum.  :-[

He has so much account. Today he's spamming with a bunch of new accounts. I think he has some software tool to do this.

Yeph, no matter how many posts that shitposter made every day it will be useless once s/he become banned and I'm sure s/he will end up banned. Just let him/her suffer spamming and let's just see what will happen to those accounts soon.

Also, there's nothing to be afraid about these kind of spammers because they will stuck in Jr. Member, once 5 or 1 Merit required to rank up to Jr. Member has been implemented, those spammer will be Newbie rank forever.

Anyway, that user have a smart way of increasing his/her posts counts by posting redundant posts in Bounties etc. What s/he doesn't know is SpamBuster's prioritise is to clean spammer from those kind of junk threads.

If this guys were really using some kind of tool, we should make him/her reveal those tool. Like pretend to be his/her fellow spammers who were looking for help to farm account, that shitposter might give you the tools s/he were using as s/he wants to help a fellow spammer. Just a suggestion but didn't know if it will work. Also it's not impossible that the owner of those accounts were already reading our discussion.

That's probably what 50% of the userbase looks like here right now. The other half are probably families with their 2.3 kids posting away:

Look kids, all you do is just copy and paste a post from earlier on in a spam mega thread and get paid for it! Can you believe it? Do this with your 12 alt accounts each and we'll be able to afford a Lamborghini by Christmas!

Few hours later:

Why was I banned? I didn't do nuffing. What about my daily needs? Merit ruins Lamborghinis!

Jajajaa.. yeah. Let them become "forever Juniors", let them invest their energy in all those shitty post, and, after getting banned, let them come and cry.  ;D

This is funny  ;D but this can be reality. I just can't stop laughing how their parents trick their kids so that they can afford a Lamborghini by spamming Bitcointalk. If I were the kid, I prefer to be inspired when my parents tell me that they will buy a chocolate than Lambo  :P

Kids will only ask, "can I play with that giant toy car?" then the parents will sa NO and the kids will threatened their parents that they won't make posts anymore. End of spammers.

Well I don't know how does it works because if I see a spam I form a bad opinion on the thing it is pushing. A good projects doesn't need to be spammed

I really think  they are not only farming activity this way, They are targeting 2 birds in one stone with this kind of process, Well they will spam this much post on many Altcoin by joining in a bounty campaign and I really think there are some bounty campaigns that don't really check their members that are joining from them And that would make them not only farm for activity but would make a token out from a certain campaign they joined in,
