Every thread now has more anti-BTC shill accounts than real forum users

[r0ach]

No matter what thread you click on, the entire thing will be filled to the brim with freshly registered, one star spam accounts saying "omg Bitcoin is terrible, the price will go to zero in 24 hours, sell everything, sell sell sell!!!".  Are they really this stupid?  When you post with so many spam accounts that they outnumber normal forum users, do you think people aren't going to figure out that it's just Cointelpro, JPMorgan, Goldmansachs, Mossad garbage?

If the account gets banned, they're right back doing it again two seconds later.  People like this "lambchop" guy have created probably 1000+ spam accounts alone by now.  He would either have to be extremely mentally disturbed or being paid to do so.  Being paid to do so is the far more likely outcome because there's dozens of these people doing the same thing.

Seems like the bankers have figured out the private, permissioned ledgers they're trying to create based on Bitcoin will be useless and can't compete with it.  They're switching from denial to attack phase.  Next comes acceptance as they figure out that just like Bittorrent, they can't stop Bitcoin either, and little rogue bankers will make a dash to the fiat exits to try and front run Bitcoin.

Does the forum ban by IP?

not just banker as some of them are moronero hodler...

Please tell me you've already capitulated. We need you to reopen shorts when it actually does roll over.

Unfortunately i'm stuck with an altcoin that keeps devaluing because of this bulltard run and i cannot enjoy profiting from this. Bitcoin doubled from the point where i bought, but my altcoin went down 50 percent. If i sell my altcoin so i can dump Bitcoin, then there's a big possibility of seeing 220$ per BTC in the future (of course, after the ponzi collapses), but my altcoin doubling in price (regaining its former value) in the meantime.

Can't do much

Yea I'm starting to not enjoy this forum for that reason. It's just ridiculous and annoying. Any other forum and they would all be banned or not be able to register in the first place

Apparently it's not that easy. They're able to generate endless new IPs, it seems. Banning newbies from this subforum might help, but it doesn't seem like the admins are going to do that.  Furthermore, this is a very trollish sub anyway, so it'd be a pretty big policy change to start intervening here. I'd be all for it, personally - maybe everyone who feels so inclined should just start reporting all the junk and the volume of reports might sway the mods.

[gentlemand]

Shop elsewhere. There's plenty more civilised sections of this forum and the choice for other forums is growing. It's just a fact of life that won't be going away any time soon.

Looks like people are fed up with Bit-coin bullshit

So people are supposed to believe that you waste your entire day creating thousands of new spam accounts to "warn" people about Bitcoin because you're a really good guy and doing it for charity?  Yea, everyone is really going to believe that.

Definitely need some bigger type of restrictions on new accounts to keep the paid for shill spammers out.

[ssmc2]

*puts on tinfoil hat*  Maybe the reason they're allowed to run amok is some of their salary is trickling down to persons in charge of imposing said restrictions... 

[Denker]

Just ignore them.You have a button for that. In the last time I use it daily and will continue doing so. So nothing to worry and I let these clowns talk as much crap as they want. In the end they will give up one time. I'm having the longer breath.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Neither torture nor your fiendishly clever interrogation techniques will ever make me betray my Saurian masters

You already gave yourself away by spamming with too many fake shill accounts.  Your posts might have been useful in influencing sentiment if you kept them at a minimum, but once you create 100 fake accounts per day spamming the price is going to 0, everyone already knows it's a paid for shill the second they see a one star account now.

Whoever pays for you should sue you and hire a new shill because when you make it obvious what you're doing, it has the opposite effect of what they're paying you for.

[r0ach]

I see what you mean Listen, you seem like a really bright guy, saddens me to see you waste your considerable abilities on a dying fad.
Have you consider an exciting career in serving our Beneficent Reptilian Overlords?

Standard shill tactic, attempt to get subject to talk about some other stupid topic to try and derail subject.  Let's get the subject back on track as to how much you get paid to make hundreds of shill accounts per day and post?  Sign me up too so I can join you and just use the funds to buy Bitcoin causing a net positive effect on buy side?  Shilling to victory.

I believe so.

It's no deterrent though as these people are computer literate & can use a VPN or even Tor to sign back up with new troll accounts again & again & again & again.........

[spiderbrain]

This many new trolls is bullish =D

[xxxxxzzzzz]

it's obvious that there is severe abuse of this forum by these "people" and i use that term very loosely

the mods are aware of this and have expressed frustration at coping with their incessant drivel

they don't want to limit the ability of the actual newbies to post , fine , but newbies can *read* any thread they want and search the forum for specific answers so why not restrict their posting ability ?

what needs to happen though , since there is 1000 bullshit shill troll accounts being created per handful of actual new accounts , is to institute an extreme level of newbie jail so these people cannot continue to abuse this forum and constantly pollute every single thread , while simultaneously creating a dedicated thread for newbie Q&A - which they would have to monitor closely , and continue to delete the likely continuing shitstream of troll posts in the interest of allowing the actual newbies to have their questions answered - a 6 month 100 post counts to escape the newbie Q&A thread seems like an adequate restriction to force these people to stop - they only get to post in 1 thread , it's closely monitored , and they get immediately banned for blatant trolling and don't get to post in any other thread until 6 months and 100 clean posts have been made without them being banned for their activity - done

Its not a real IP ban, its an evil points system. If an account gets banned on an IP, the next time someone registers an account with that IP it requires a small payment. So given enough money, you can endlessly create accounts on the same IPs. I vote for true IP bans but its unlikely to happen.

I wouldn't worry too much about such newbies. If you value the readers of bitcointalk as highly as yourself you will find that writing "bitcoin is...doomed" or any such statements will either be ignored or be found as annoying as you find em. I haven't encountered enough of them yet to find them annoying.

Having said that -If you hate bitcoin with a passion please check out this site. it collects all public statements regarding the immanent death of BTC since 2011!

Truly annoying is read
Do not mine, buy bitcoins directly instead.

 I would like to ask from them, how much BTC you have already purchased ? But I do not ask.


All my BTC is from mining and all  mined BTC is in new miners. These are  a lot .

I wouldn't be afraid of Newbie - troll accounts. Everyone knows that opinions of experienced users are far more important than new ones. Worse, when Troll buy an account from an experienced and trusted user.. It can make much more damage.

somewhat. You have to pay for registration under a banned IP

It's not about damage, it's just a nuisance. They manage to derail threads very effectively, and failing that simply drown normal readers in 0-quality posts.
