Hello everyone,

I've bumped twice in the last hour on this guy spamming some bounty for 2 days now  Shocked

Bitcointalk Username: Vblossom

Profile Url: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2038970
Posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2038970;sa=showPosts;start=0

I reported to moderator already.

After checking the spammed Bounty Thread I realized the Author of the Bounty Campaign is also overpromoting the project.

Bitcointalk Username: MammothBlockchain
Profile Url: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2006619 is also very suspicious.

I don't know what is going on here, but it looks like scam to me. What do you think?

That's a small blessing, but my guess is that he's probably trying to fly under the radar and has taken to spamming with one of his alt accounts.  There is so much spam on bitcointalk that at this point spam post greatly outnumber legitimate ones, and by spam posts I mean ones that either don't make sense or that are near copies of posts that came before it within a given thread.  Still, it's good you reported it here because if no one does anything, the situation will never improve. 

It's especially true for scammers, since mods don't ban them and it's basically up to the community to police them.
