It is clogging up the whole service section:


It is kind of annoying as most of those use the same site so there really is no need that many of them.

I was planning to make a thread about this. IMO, It's likely that most of these users are the same person, the way they all ask and almost force people to give them tips (same style in writing too) is suspicious. Creating a new section is not worth it though. It will barely fill 1-2 pages.

Then maybe sticky this post and make a rule against people making such threads:

I don't think a new section is needed, just a sticky which points to these free services that all of these users are using anyway, then ban/delete all of these "post your tx and I'll accelerate it for you" posts.

I must lend credence to this because its really turning into something else on the service section that you see a new thread opening up everyday trying to offer same service and funny enough is that they don't bother about their own website just that you submit your transaction id, and they get it accelerated how they want to do it, which pool they are using, we don't know.

I don't have problem with accelerator services after all the situation of bitcoin gave room to services like that springing up here and there. I have used viabtc too but this is just turning into spamming the forum the more and I think the admin should do more about solving such situation.

I asked for tips too  Embarrassed I feel so ashamed now, though I don't force them.
"It's likely that most of these users are the same person", I was thinking the same too Cheesy
while on Bitcoin Technical Support SF, some are replying with repititive copy paste info
could this be a new technique for account farmers to raise post count and rank up,
it would not be so apparent compared to how they used to post unrelated questions or replies before

There is a possibility that these accounts are owned by just one person, trying to farm accounts easily. The forum admin or moderators should definitely do something about this issue because it's nonsense to have a lot of threads offering the same service and actually using the same site to "accelerate" transactions. It's just causing a lot of spam to the forum whenever people replies to their thread asking for their transaction to be accelerated when they can even do it on their own.
