Maybe they're testing the forum software or their own code for bots. I don't know how many accounts the forum software can handle but his could be a kind of attack to slow down the forum software day by day... Or, they write a code to create accounts, they have to test if if it's working or not. Also they have to run a stress test, to be sure what is the maximum amount of bot accounts they are able to create when a customer asks, they should be able to give exact timing, like: we're creating you 2,000 fresh accounts in 3 hours time... just wondering...
Maybe it's easier for the customers to just buy some already registered accounts instead of trying to register hundreds of them from the same IP (but if I remember well, recaptcha will stop them and their IP will be banned too if they want to register too many accounts).
So for an average bounty hunter, who's skills are coding rather than creating accounts, it's just easier to buy some of these accounts, and all he have to do is start running his own code, nothing else.

So to cut the long story short, why don't we just lock all the newly created accounts if they don't post in a few weeks time (I know there are newbies who are here to read first and they will post only if they feel confident about the forum, bitcoin, etc... and it takes time, but they are not the majority now unfortunately...)

Szia Zoli,
Ha van időd, meg kedved, írhatnál egy kis összefoglalót azoknak, akiknek fogalmuk sincs, mi az a faucethub, mit tudnak a faucetek és hogy miért pont a Tiédet érdemes megpróbálni.
Tök jó lenne az újaknak egy kis oktatás, meg valószínűleg nagyobb hatása lenne, mint ennek a hozzászólásnak, mert aki csak úgy idetéved, annak kínai lesz, hogy mit akartál mondani
Vagy, ha tudsz ilyen leírást, akkor dobj arra is egy linket, biztos lenne rá igény.

I hope that that platform will allow the people to just send their bitcoins to their own wallets, hardware wallets, and they won't be forced to use a dedicated wallet to store and manage their bitcoins....

They have sold the black one with 50% discount, and offered a free next working day DPD delivery in the EU, which is more than anyone can expect from a company who runs a black friday sale...
I know that they sell the Nano S in a lot of different colors (even with transparent housing) but the black can do exactly the same, so this was a good opportunity to buy a hardware wallet for those who were already thinking about it.

Wow what an idea, and it's 63 pages now and still counting
I was just about to post a 'Good project' into that topic but I was afraid that someone would report me because of low quality posting
unbelievable that people can write but they can't read (or they just don't like to read )

Maybe there's something else they can do, if they want:
They can quickly archive the post with archive.is and include that short url into the report, just in case the newbie start to edit the post and remove the signature part to escape the ban...

Absolutely, it's his decision.
I'm just wondering if it worths the efforts to develop a system to catch the bad boys, where the bad boys can easily check how they are identified to be a bad boy or not and they can modify their system accordingly to escape the checks...
If open source, there will be no catch after the bad boys have adapted themselves, so the new system would be just unnecessary...
But bad boys would stand up for the open source system of course

Ahhoz kicsit több embernek kellene érdeklődni a kripto dolgok után, de ez az aktivitás most ilyen árfolyam mellett várható volt...
Még 2017 decemberében, mikor egekben járt az árfolyam, akkor sem volt napi 1 oldalnál több post, ha jól emlékszem, azóta az árfolyam esésével együtt csökken az aktivitás is...
Sokan vannak itt (relatíve), akik az altokkal (is) foglalkoznak, nekem pl. azokra nincs időm, ezért nem is szoktam beleszólni itt a beszélgetésbe, mert lövésem sincs az ICO-khoz meg az ANN-okhoz, bitcoin meg most nem érdekel senkit, vagy panicsell volt már rég, vagy sosem fogják eladni azt ami van, ez most egy ilyen időszak...
Azért kíváncsi lennék, hogy akik ide beírnak, azok között vannak-e olyanok akik Magyarországról írnak, vagy mindenki külföldön van, és inkább az angol topic-okban aktívak, mert úgyis tudnak angolul...

Just make sure that you won't share your code... I've read in another topic that spammers/copypasters are now fishing for anti-spam anti-plagiarism methods, to upgrade their systems in order to have less accounts banned in the future...

Well, maybe we can agree, because those who are breaking the rules accidentally, but not all the time, those are still type 1 and those newbies will rank up as the time goes by, those members are not spammers and hopefully won't be in the future as well...
But those who are breaking the rules all the time and don't care about anything but the ban, those won't become anything but spammers and the problem is that they are the majority now...

Wow, haven't thought about it this way... but can be true...
I've already thought that spammers and farmers are also reading the forum (the interesting parts only, of course ) but to start a topic fishing for anti-spam methods... seems these guys are smart enough to make it harder for the mods to catch them easily...

Nuke it 
Why to archive the sh*t by locking the topics?
And locking won't decrease the post count as well...
If we start to clean up at least the Bitcoin Discussion, and nuke a lot of unnecessary post, spammers will avoid the place, because they will learn sooner or later that there's no use to spam in BD because it won't make them any money on the long run... and this is the key in connection with spammers...

We should really have some more stickies in Meta, to have separated topics for:
- account banned/temp banned/etc...
- account hacked/stolen/forgot the password/etc...
- report copypaste/textspinning/bots/etc...
- merit ruined my life

And we'll have a cleaner Meta in a few days

I'm also interested in a massive cleanup in Bitcoin Discussion.
What I would like to achieve is to have a lot's of topics deleted, because spammers and bounty hunters would only care about the post count, and you can only decrease their post count effectively (not one by one) if you delete spam megathreads and those where they only post average meaningless replies.
I know that we surely will lose some decent replies too, but if this is the price we have to pay for a clean section, I won't be too worried about it...
Or, we could ask for a development, not to let the merited (but just the merited) posts to delete from a thread, so if you delete a spam megathread which contain some merited good quality posts (I know the chance for that...) they will remain and the topic can live on with the quality posts.

You can also have a look here for plagiarism checker websites:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5050022.0
And there are several other topics in the forum where other members are hunting for spammers/copypasters/etc....
Take a look around and you'll surely find copypasters, you should start in Altcoin discussion bounty topics

Test thread for notifications, will testing it for a while.
Please don't post in it, don't spam it.
If you want to give it a try, create your own thread, check it here how:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5023605.0

I can agree with The Pharmacist's pessimistic ghost, there are two types of newbies here (basically):
- those who care about the rules and they will study it and will try their best not to break them
- the spammers who won't care about the whole thing, despite of it will be put next to the more menu, will flash red and blue or will stay for 30 seconds at login...
For the first type, it will help a bit, for the rest, it won't... ever... but unfortunately they are the majority now, so I'm not sure if it worths the effort to develop this for those few newbies who are not here to spam...

I would prefer a checkbox to be able to filter the topics, only to show those which has at least 1 merited post... Would make difference...
If there are enough merit sources, who check the new topics and the new replies periodically, this will help to find the quality topics easier

A similar, auto-lock feature was mentioned several times ago, but nothing happened.
If you look at the whole forum these days, you'll see that usually the OP won't come back to his/her topic, because they're opening them just to increase their post count, and their spamming friends are happy to reply to the newly opened topics with oneliner meaningless posts, because they also need the post count for their bounty campaign... And not to mention the bots...

Anyway, it's good for the newbies if they want to buy copper and they don't have to search for it... (although it's not hard to find it).
I hope that the reason why it's easier to find where to buy the copper membership is that it will be harder to become a Jr. member soon, e.g. 5 merit or something
