You mean the topic being #417,000? It's most likely pure luck, since there is nothing else about the user that resembles something that a bot would do (more just a person promoting his altcoin).

They're all the same.

If you are a staff + you are convinced that all these ids are the same + you have evidence of copy-pasting, then why aren't they banned?

[hilariousandco]

I've banned some of them before for copy and pasting but not sure all are. I'll have to look into it.

Just banned anopther five copy and pasters and there's still likely many more. If anyone wants to help out busting bots just go to the typical spammy threads and check the latest posts. If you copy two or three fairly unique words or look for typos you sometimes get a hit. Example:

From the thread Gambling. Is It Wrong?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1166089.0

One of the latest posts:

When you gamble, Make your own rules, and FOLLOW them strictly.

I have a lot of rules when I gamble, I have "fun" money whether it be bitcoin or cash.  I don't ever lose more than that what I had set aside for the fun money.

Also-know when to quit when you are ahead, I don't ever set a goal for how much I want to be up, because if you are so close to that amount, you might never hit it and then be out of money.  Usually depends on the situation, but if I hit a couple lucky runs, I will say, ok, I am going to be up this amount no matter what, and replace my fun money with profits, so that even if I lose, I still maintain my profit.

Use gambling as a time for fun, don't try to get rich out of it.

Using the search bot with 'Also-know' gives you a few hits:

Use gambling as a time for fun, don't try to get rich out of it. Most of the time you loose, and it takes lot's of time, money, bets and effort to skill up.

Once you find one user that has done this check the posts quickly after it as a lot of the time they'll have alts posting one after the other copying different posts. It's time consiming and essentially playing whack a mole but it feels good when you get a few shitposters  .

[Dabs]

I'm sure someone will come up with an anti-bot, where it detects copy pasters, and grades or scores according to how much was copied that isn't quoted. Something like copyscape. And with a quick look by a real human, we can decide if it's spammy enough or bott-ish.

We sure wouldn't want an auto-banner that goes on an uncontrolled rampage.

[botany]

How much leniency are copy-pasters shown?
My view is 3 or more instances are sufficient for a perma-ban.

One is all you need. If you've copied a person's post then you'll likely do it again but once I find one I'll usually have a quick look at their recent page of posts and check a few and you'll usually find there's many more but I don't have time to go through every page to see how many posts they may or may not have copied. There's no justification why anyone should copy a user's posts and it's simply just a lazy way of sig spamming/farming and trying to appear constructive and that's why we have a zero tolerance for it. The only leniency I would give is with someone copying external content just the once but copy another users post here and you're done no exceptions.

[botany]

Hmm...

Here is one....

Example 1

Lol wat??
You don't have to believe in fiat, it exists and it works for day to day transactions.  Don't know about its future.

The history of fiat money, to put it kindly, has been one of failure. In fact, EVERY fiat currency since the Romans first began the practice in the first century has ended in devaluation and eventual collapse, of not only the currency, but of the economy that housed the fiat currency as well.

Example 2

Banks will be encouraged to lend more to their weakest borrowers and take on excessive risks if global regulators push ahead with a rule change aimed at making it harder to cheat on safety measures, a leading industry group has warned.

Example 3

Pay attention to the big themes, because they are what will help you earn ten times your money.Try to use your rest of money to buy and sell bitcoin and get rich soon,

I had noted that BigBoy89, HarHarHar9965, greBit, ausbit and Marbit had connected addresses at one point of time.

I had posted examples of BigBoy99 and HarHarHar9965 copy-pasting stuff earlier, but they got away.

You have to be a real low-life to make a bot, or buy one, to post for you. It is already quite easy to post for yourself and you learn things about Bitcoin as well. Why do people do such things?

Banned. Will look into the others later.

Most of these Indonesians and Fillipino spammers probably wont have a bot and will likely just find an older post and copy and paste in manually. Why do they do it? Greed and laziness. If they struggle with English it's much easier to just copy and paste a constructive post then risk getting banned for shitposting but it's not really worth it because you'll get caught eventually and all your accounts will be banned in the process.

First of all this is best faucet i have ever seen. Gambling without deposit, just what you claim from faucet and other players tipping you and rain on you with coins, so there is no risk of losing money!

Something like "you already have reported this post" or even better "somebody already reported this post to moderation, we'll take a look at the report shortly", yes.
It would help me from time to time, when I'm not really sure whether or not I already have a specific post/user reported...
Maybe that's something for the new forum software

The user Duivel is mine wife and her English isn't that great. She hoped to participate in some Primedice giveaways but needed an higher forum level required for some giveaways. She decided that it was more easy to copy and paste some text but wasn't aware it was not aloud. She also didn't ask me if it was aloud so I couldn't tell her about it. She never had any bad intentions.

She only play some simple Bitcoin games and gamble a little bit only with that reason she use this forum. Is there a chance that she can get deblocked. Sorry for the problems that occurred hope this can get fixed.

Do you share the same IP? If yes, then it may be better for you to avoid the forum for some time, or you could get nailed for ban evasion.
People use the argument of brother/roommate/wife sharing the internet connection to evade bans using their alts, but this argument is usually not accepted.

Another one.

mostly poker players.It is a game where you choose to bet or not,depending on how strong your hand is.All the other games have odds that favour the casino.Therefore you will always loose in the long run.
If you are disciplined and willing to learn than you can definitely make money from playing poker.Alongside discipline you have to be good at managing your bankroll.For instance if you have $500,You should be playing with $20-$50 at every table you play.Once you build your bankroll and poker skills you can move to higher stakes.

Gambling when done properly can be a very entertaining and enjoyable activity. When abused it can be one of the worst things in the world. Gambling is just like drinking. Out about 100 people who drink, maybe 20 have problems with it. Gambling is the same way. And the effects of the problem are about the same as well.

On a positive note, he at least corrected the typo.  
More copied posts are present, but I presume the above details are sufficient...

Bots are easily distinguished among members. Bots are 100% accurate, if you've seen too perfect posts about a certain topic, or too off-topic about that post, then that is easily perceptible. One example of this is if the topic is about Etherium mining and you've seen a post regarding other Altcoins. Then that would be easily distinguished.

[HeyYouGuys]

What a strategy to have a constructive post copying the same post by other members. There should be a punishment to these user.

But I think, for me getting some several lines from others and combined them is fine as long as it make sense and not off topic. Atleast they made a little effort. But copying the same post and just pasting it which they didn't made any effort have a penalty. Just my 20cents (This is only my opinion, of course im not doing it)

A basic rewriting script can also be used. There are many out there free to download and people write their own. For example. Take the post I am quoting. Running it through a one pass rewrite app; this is what it generated all on its own, I made no changes to it myself.

Bot Rewrite Version of Original Post

What a system to have a valuable post duplicating the same post by different individuals. There ought to be a discipline to these client.

Be that as it may, I think, for me getting exactly a few lines from others and consolidated them is fine the length of it bode well and not off point. Atleast they tried. However, duplicating the same post and simply gluing it which they didn't attempted have a punishment. Simply my 20cents (This is just my feeling, obviously im not doing it)

No it's not perfect, but its passable as a "non first language english" person perhaps.

Honestly, I feel every day more and more the content I see online, whether on twitter, news posts, blogs, everywhere, its not a human at all. Scary. And to think it's just the begining.

[hilariousandco]

People have probably used them in the past. Used to see quite a few posts that had copied an entire post but changed a few words for a synonym etc.
