Correct. To everyone: Please don't post about individual accounts/posts here because there are plenty of those. Just use the report function and hopefully it will get handled swiftly. There are too many accounts and it would just waste everyone's time. Just a troll with some sort of grudge against Theymos, I guess. Giving him and his moods/admins a hard time.
But now Theymos has a few bots of his own, they get nuked within the minute.
It's easier to make a bot that makes similar posts/random ones than one that acts as a human and detects the latter. We're doing as much as we can. It happens everywhere we better get used to it  If everything goes smoothly what would keep mods buzy here  Correct. Now the reports page is not as empty as usual. |

Im reporting like crazy but it just keeps appearing, it's a never ending cleaning battle! I think the idea of going back to the newbie-prison model could solve this but it would also ruin the fun for legitimate newbies.

A single person should not be the cause for a significant rule change. Actually this is helping other people, Patrollers: Get more share of the ad revenue, due to their work Forum: Gets more pageviews and its not from the same IP address. Me: Getting my report count up Whatever happened to optimism people. Its just a mild annoyance in the background, don't mind it, if you have to, ignore Bitcoin discussion as a whole so it doesn't show up in "Show unread posts since last visit. " , there isn't much of discussion going on there except Lauda's bit serious Scaling Bitcoin thread and the never ending Who is satoshi? threads |

This guy probably has an agenda against Theymos. Ignore these bots; they get nuked within minutes. If you want, you can farm post reports off these. Heh.

These bots are so annoying but what they post is sometimes quite enjoyable to read. But now it's just spam bots posting in Spanish which is just very annoying. Hope the mods ban all of these bots. They get nuked in like 2 minutes though. lol.

The format seems to be changing slightly. Maybe it's a learning algorithm, changing its parameters based on how long it takes for posts to be deleted. Pretty soon, it might be able to pass for the average sig campaigner here!

The guy initially had an issue with KNC miners, claimed they made him lose his life earnings or so.
He then expected forum users to stand by him and get KNC to refund him somehow. Of course it does not work that way.
Then he switched to begging, and when those posted were removed as repetitive spam, he resorted to mindless drivel bot postings as a kind of revenge against the forum.
In reality, he's probably a poor guy bitten by his own bad investment decision, but his way of dealing with his situation is entirely unacceptable.

You know what they say, give enough moneys bots a typewriter forum and enough time and they will eventually recreate the entire works of Shakespeare. |

can they not just make it that newbies have to fill out a captcha or something untill they hit 10 posts? The amount of spam is geting a bit mental.

Well this will not change anything for the bot. In the other hand, newbies (humans) have to solve 10 captchas in order to make 10 posts. Why? Simply because the bot is creating an account then make only 1 post with it before he get nuked. The only thing effective seems to be another captcha system in registration and only 1 captcha verification for the first post. I was thinking of changing captcha by a math equation or a simple questions to answer? Dunno how effective could be.. |

It will change something for the bot, The bot wont be able to solve the captcha to make a post so it wont make any posts? It would take human interaction on each account the bot makes to make an actual post. |

I'd wondered about needing a multisig deposit to create an account before and losing it in the event of a ban but that would kind of defeat the purpose for a lot noobs, "how do I use bitcoin to leave a deposit to find out how to use bitcoin?" as well as opening up all sorts of "I woz scammed!" cans of worms. Maybe a deposit to leave the noob zone and noob posts only visible to non-noobs could work... idk.

There are plenty of services that a bot can use to have other humans complete captchas automatically for them for a small fee (down to about $0.5 per 1,000 captchas solved). Adding a captcha will not change anything for bots, and will only make it more annoying for humans to use the forum. |

Having a captcha for the first 10 posts untill you make it out of newbie status isnt so bad, Its bout to help better than not having one at all? I mean atm there doesnt seem to be any bot protection. |

This is already discussed in another thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1278196.0 all you have to do if you see one is click the "Report to moderator" link at the lower left side of each post made by the bot. |
