Title: Off-topic board flooded by NSA? Post by: railzand on May 01, 2014, 09:18:28 AM https://i.imgur.com/Zbq0FEr.png
Ok one of these threads is important stuff. But the rest? New accounts with probing questions? Are the TPTB trying to mine us for political/religious views or so on? Or is it the dice sponsorship people giving their customers a chance to post more drivel? What's the purpose? I can't believe these new accounts are real people, real bitcoiners.

But ... aliens ... the feds ... big business? Title: Re: Off-topic board flooded by NSA? Post by: Puppet on May 01, 2014, 09:21:52 AM Sure it means something. It means if you post enough nonsense spam, you get paid more to add spam to your signature. Of course the thread about hot asian girls really could be the NSA :).

Being paid or not being paid...there never needs to be a reason to debate the merits of hot Asian girls. ;) Title: Re: Off-topic board flooded by NSA? Post by: hilariousandco on May 01, 2014, 09:27:28 AM Haha I think you're just being paranoid. I noticed those brand new users smalltwo and littlethree today with their random threads. Looks like they're either spambots or just newbs trying to build up their post counts.

Yeah, what's it about? also, inb4 yes I am a hypocrite, I replied to one! inb4 yes I am paranoid, but that's a good thing right? so come on @tinydickone, or whatever you're called. Why do you need to know if I got man boobs? Title: Re: Off-topic board flooded by NSA? Post by: railzand on May 01, 2014, 09:41:53 AM Sure it means something.

Why do you need to know if I got man boobs? Looks like they're probably copy and paste spambots reposting threads from reddit: Come on Reddit, help me not be a fatty anymore. I want to eat healthier but need recipes that are both delicious and healthy! Title: Re: Off-topic board flooded by NSA? Post by: railzand on May 01, 2014, 09:56:22 AM I suppose they are mildly less tiresome than the spambots, those questions were weird, from the other day - I saw a mod proposing to ban that 'guy', can't remember what happened.
Anyone need to up their accuracy rate? Title: Re: Off-topic board flooded by NSA?

Anyone need to up their accuracy rate? What guy? I reported the one that mentioned reddit in the post as that's the most obvious example. Be careful reporting them though as you could get a bad report if you don't give enough info as they do just look like typical off topic newb threads. Title: Re: Off-topic board flooded by NSA? Post by: railzand on May 01, 2014, 10:13:59 AM I reported my own post lol. I don't care (I am that hard)
Good advice though, hard to prove they're spam, except in the one you found. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=584744.0 found it please now eli5: why spam like this? edit: mods musta deleted the (ir)relevant threads. locked |
