Hilarious bots posting nonsense: what's the point?

[Lauda]

I just brought it up because I think Mitchells bot works like that. I also noticed that posts with a clear pattern are faster removed, which led me to believe that Mitchell is still feeding the bot with new strings to match.

Well, staff has access to the bot. However it stills needs to be improved as it crashes from time to time.

Aand he's back to the random spam. Anyway I guess we got the answer as to why the botmaker is doing this, extortion(well kinda)

Told you.

No, just reported 5 now and yesterday I found many topics too. Don't think the spam will stop unless the (retard) kid behind it will not find any address without a fees to pay (or maybe with the new forum?)

I agree there have been a lot again recently but not with the pathetic begging "want me to stop" message.

Lol at first I thought you meant hilarious as in hilariousandco(Global Mod guy). This has been discussed in: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1275923.0
The agenda is I guess "revenge" , it was previously posting begging threads which were swiftly deleted by nuke bots, but as the content is not changing randomly it has to be done manually, so yeah, to annoy mods.

Yeah same. I thought that's what he meant as well. I was pretty confused when I read that as well. These bots get nuked anyway so they aren't really a worry.

tl;dr?

I just like riling people up in my spare time.

Nope. Sometimes he does stop for a short period of time but then continues the usual business.

In case you might've not noticed(highly unlikely, considering I've reported a bunch by now), now he's spamming topics with seemingly sensible titles like "Credibility" "Escrowing" etc on the Bitcoin discussion

Yes. He's constantly changing patterns thinking that it would slow us down but we've switched mostly to manual for him. I've noticed it because, at this very moment, I'm the most active patroller around (reports sometimes jump to 10+). I do wonder now who the actual person behind this is, they having access to a huge amount of IP's.

maybe he is buying proxies with fresh ip addresses, you guys should just temp ban people who join with suspicious usernames

The problem with that is that we would have a lot of false positives. There are 'normal' users that create accounts with weird usernames.

[Scorpian]

For some reason they want to flood the forum... It's not hurting us though... Just a little more work for the mods to do 

[mexxer-2]

Just ridiculous now, he is posting the same thing I did on this post with the title similar to the thread I posted it in. If anyone finds such a thread, report it

They are posting nonsense just to pick up their post count to rank up their membership to either A) Sell the account or B) Use it for signature campaigns or C) Use it to scam.

How do you A, B or C with an account that is banned after the first post?

"I'll give the wheel a final spin, and ask you to give me a letter"
Aaaand...it's D) Tommypug is trying either of those for his account.

[Lauda]

Scammers don't bother ranking up. They buy Hero accounts and scam from them.
