I think just increasing post to rank up. But sse_197 doesn't know that increasing post cant make rank up. Also there might have another reason sse_197 may show these posts as sample while s/he will search project. Right now s/he has 5 announcement thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=764620;sa=showPosts

Now he deleted all his posts. But im sure he will come back with a different name. So we must be careful not just about these coins but also potential new ones because apperantly this is a type of scam we should be aware of.

Also please inform the coins so they can warn their community about this.
