Automated spammy posts [update] 6/9/2015 referral promotion spam; locked topics

[alani123]

Right, this user has probably posted in every single board of the forum, I'll let his name out. Maybe some public shaming will teach this guy a lesson.

His spamming is so vicious! He probably created a script to post the same spammy message on each board and the posts get instantly locked. Maybe BadBead shouldn't have mentioned that nuking accounts is hard. Clearly this guy is posting those messages in hope that they stay up as long as possible before he gets permabanned.

Edit: AT101ET reported this slightly earlier than me.

Haha. I just got it in slightly before you. Every sub I've clicked on I've been greeted by his lousy locked 'free 0.5 BTC' annoying threads.
I don't think public shaming is enough. He's not a noob, but rather a full member. Surely he should be familiar with the forum rules by now...

Obviously wasn't happy with the answers he got to his Meta thread

I don't think this is actually referral spam. I think it is just a scam website and the person behind the scam website is spamming the forum with what he wants to look like referral spam. Either way it looks like grue was able to handle this one and according to his trust rating he deleted 54 spam posts

Another user seems to be posting nonsensical posts in the Chinese section. The off topic board seems to be riddled with spammy posts.

There's a new guy now who keeps posting in the economy and marketplace subs (such as goods, services, auctions etc) with the same post which is just his ref link to a cloud mining site. He's locked all the threads so I couldn't write anything in it and call him out.

That account has been reported as hacked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1085850.new;topicseen#new

And it has been banned for the ref. spam:

Don't bother recovering the account, it was banned today for spamming ref links (54 posts in total).

[alani123]

Oh boy. Advertising spam from new accounts has started again.

This guy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=263575  is just making nonsense posts all over. I don't see why other than to spam, as he has no signature.


EDIT: I did report and will leave it to mods.

Possible. I didn't check the changelog to see if he reset his pass since the forum was compromised. But you are correct,we are starting to see a few accounts exhibit strange behavior.
