Recently, I've seen a lot of posts which are word-for-word copies of someone else's posts made years ago. I've even caught one user who started copying my own posts, lol. Below are just a few examples of this nefarious practice:

It can't be either deflationary or inflationary by definition. In both cases you are making a price prediction with which you could make a risk free profit if it held true. Whether you have to go long or short, you would in the end trade away the expectation

I'm still not sure how these ideological allegiances relate to a "resource based econonomy". Is the world economy today not already "resource based" in large part? How is it beneficial to give this concept such a vague name? It's hard to be against something as broad as a "resource based economy", it's basically something that goes without saying for economies everywhere to some degree.

<...> The same is not true with land, you may not be able to sell it at all. Don't take it too personal, but from what I've read in your posts, I can only conclude that in most cases your knowledge about the matter is superficial at best, that of a layman. I, for one, am neither engaged in such investments (I mean land), nor have deep understanding of it, but I do know that land (or real estate, for that matter) is a hell as an investment option...

So, is it possible to write a bot that would check and track (through Google search or somehow else) such duplicate posts and report them?

I've banned both of them, the forum has 0 tolerance for this practice. Thanks!

Hopefully one day we'll have better ways of detecting this.

Wow.  1)  Awesome that they got banned with such quickness and 2) How did you ever catch these?  Those original posts were really old.

One guy had been copying my posts which I remember pretty well even after so many years, thereby all his posts became particularly suspicious. The other had been just thoughtlessly pasting them here and there, so they looked totally out of whack with the topic...

And then Google remembers everything (well, mostly)
