I know LoyceV is the man to talk to, but I don't really want to bother him, he has enough to do, but maybe he can put this on his to do list.
If we list all the threads in which the OP never posted again or posted only once, that will be a very useful list to start manually go trough and reporting mega threads.
It's just an idea.

...P.S. I'll come with examples when I get back to my PC.
I would be happy, to see these examples, to know exactly, what you mean. I assume I know, but want to be sure. Of course, I have seen this, but mostly in altcoins announcements threads, were bots and alt accounts, post multiple time the same questions, with more as 75 signs. This is good enough, to be not deleted by moderators as obvious spam, but TBH such mega threads, only with the short OP asking a simple question is something I haven't seen a lot. Here you have a few examples of difference type of PMT (Potential Mega threads:) I should have sorted them out maybe, but it took me around 10 min to look into Bitcoin discussion, Economics and Speculations board, those are some of the first 3 pages. I haven't check each one of the threads of each section, those are the random ones I found by reading only the subject... Enjoy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5159874.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5163029.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5162733.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5162350.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139144.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5162910.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5159696.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5112645.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5138288.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5159084.0Please excuse the way I posted the links, It's really pain in the a** making proper links on a mobile. |

Why this thread is in off topic section?? This is probability the most Bitcoin topic related thread for the past year and it ended up in the section where almost nobody (from the regular members) visit. Better move it to the Serious discussion of the Ivory tower if you don't what it to be in the bitcoin discussion.

Interesting, I remember that theymos fixed it some time ago. You shouldn't be able to merit the same post with the same amount of merit for 60 seconds.
There it is: Alright, you now can't merit the same post with the same amount within 60 seconds.
Edited, just saw Ddmr^2 comment above.... And your timing between the merited posts... Unlucky this time. |

Those necrobumpers quite often are confused newbies, who were told to search the forum before open a new topic, then they see a subject that fits their needs without paying attetion to the date of the thread.
That's how some of them became a necrobumbers. Others do it intentionally so.. again it's difficult to decide what is good and what is bad at a newbie level.

Sometimes I report those threads when they are obvious nonsense, but not every time the reports are handled the way I think they should be. Sometimes I get a Good report, but the threads is still there, sometimes they get locked, sometimes totally removed, and sometimes i get bad reports as well. So everything is based on the Mods judgment. I think reporting should be enough but we need some guidelines. Not all the threads started by newbies are bad but 85% is just sig spam generators. Sometimes the OP doesn't have the intention to generate spam but it turns out that the herd of spammers takes over and the thread is killed.  |

I'm not surprised that your posts got deleted. After you were warned that it's against the rules to make multiple posts in a short time in your first reply, you just ingored it and continue to multipost. This is not a chatroom. Edit your previous post if you want to add something new. Read the rules and take them seriously, otherwise you probably will be banned one day. |

Even with my poor English / the language barrier/ still, i would love go out and take a beer /Heineken or Grolsch/ together. I know this will never happen due to his high level of privacy, but anyway I love Amsterdam I'll be there in two weeks and then again in August, so in case he change his mind, I'm available  I won't be there, unless wearing a balaclava  My wife suggested she'll go, to add to the confusion by pretending to be me  an infograph That doesn't sound like me. Damn, I thought for a second that you might be Satoshi at the end, but I remembered that CSW was Satoshi and I don't really want to take a beer with him at all, and this is how the whole fun got ruined. Anyway.. if you want, wear a ninja suite, or wear this below, doesn't matter, it will be fun and I'm up for it  |

That's cool reaching leet, but how cool would be to reach a double 'leet', I had the chance to spot one guy some time ago, now I'm hunting for the triple leet guy with 1337 merit as well |

Probably everyone have seen such threads but people don't talk about it. Mostly they are created by new fresh accounts with only 2-3 posts, sometimes with 9-10 posts.This apply for all the sections, except the technical boards.
The thread's subject is mostly some general question or observation which leaves room for random discussions... and of course at the end they become, guess what... Megathreads with 100s to 1000s of comments
And guess what... The OP never comes back to lock it... Why? There is a simple answer.
The OP is an alt account of one of the first 10 poster in the thread. The only idea is to create as many comments as possible to reach their sig. campaign required posts and this is the perfect technique, making HQ spam.
So, what can we do?
P.S. I'll come with examples when I get back to my PC.

After the successful removal of a fake wallet from Android store (Google Play) (see the link below for reference) I think it's time to get together and report all those fake/scam apps from all the mobile stores. To make an impact and really get the apps removed, there should be quite many reports, that's why I think it's a good idea go have a place/thread where you can follow and if there is a case of a fake app, you can easily report it. Warning: Fake BTC core BTC wallet in Google Play |

What I can say, the forum won't be the same if LoyceV is not here. I don't know the guy, but from what I've seen I whish all my friends were like him, serious, with good sense of humour and always helpful. Even with my poor English / the language barrier/ still, i would love go out and take a beer /Heineken or Grolsch/ together. I know this will never happen due to his high level of privacy, but anyway I love Amsterdam I'll be there in two weeks and then again in August, so in case he change his mind, I'm available |

Another example of how you create more drama, when trying to leave the drama....
Everyone should have the possibility to leave DT (1and2) if they want, it's just a personal choice. It's sad to see more people leaving but I agree that now it's bigger mess that it used to be with the old system.

I could also just be more active and hopefully earn at least one merit and become a Jr member which gives me more options in posting. So that is what I am trying to do. And as I read through the different threads, and as I read post that I believe I can genuinely be helpful in solving their problems, I will interact and at least give them suggested or links of where to get answers or information.
Actually the Copper Membership you have already gives you more benefits that the Jr. Member rank can give. Just don't a tip, better edit your previous post instead posting a new one like you did above. |

Thanks Baofeng for the instruction. Just reported it. I thought there should be a report button in the Play store. It's a bit difficult for regular users to report apps if they follow the given procedure. Let's hope they'll take it down soon.

I would like to report it as well, but how can you report if without installing it? Tried to search for some rerpot links but didn't found anyting?
Anyone can help?

"17-Year-Old Weakness in Firefox Let HTML File Steal Other Files From Device"Yet another weakness found in the Firefox. Read and beware. Except for phishing and scams, downloading an HTML attachment and opening it locally on your browser was never considered as a severe threat until a security researcher today demonstrated a technique that could allow attackers to steal files stored on a victim's computer.
Barak Tawily, an application security researcher, shared his findings with The Hacker News, wherein he successfully developed a new proof-of-concept attack against the latest version of Firefox by leveraging a 17-year-old known issue in the browser.
The attack takes advantage of the way Firefox implements Same Origin Policy (SOP) for the "file://" scheme URI (Uniform Resource Identifiers), which allows any file in a folder on a system to get access to files in the same folder and subfolders. Here is a video of how it's done > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU223hfXUVYSource
