This is annoying: user karbomike posted this:

Hey guys i have recently found my old harddrive down in my basement and when I opened it I managed to find a folder with alot of videos photos and personal files and I managed to find something very valuable. My fathers wallet was in my personal files because back then we only had 1 computer which was shared among our family. My father sadly passed away in 2017 and the wallet has fallen into my hands and it has alot of bitcoin in it (I won't disclose how much bitcoin, but it's REALLY valuable). I have let the wallet sync for about 2 1/2 weeks now and sadly its stuck at 88% and doesn't seem like it wants to move, any Idea on what I should do?

The wallet is MultiBit HD
I have the information such as the seed and passcode.

I hope I can get some help from here.

The post is about MultiBit, but the title is "Bitcoin found in old harddrive for Bitcoin Core". That doesn't make sense.
Then, 12 hours and 4 replies later, he edits his post to add this:

https://omegle.<brokenbyLoyceV>onl/  vshare

Google can find the phrase "My fathers wallet was in my personal files because back" posted on 4 different domains and several Reddit threads in the last day.

I've reported the topic, but I hope this isn't going to catch on with spammers! Stay vigilant
Update: He's Nuked already.

I have found several post like this one and I don't know why they are created and are completely non sense.
Now I can't see again in forum but it appears as:

What is your explanation about this edit? what is "the meaning" of this post (original) and why it doesn't appear modified?

I'm not going to guess why bounty spammers do things, but I can explain the editing: the forum only shows a post as "edited" if it's edited more than 10 minutes after it's creation. Anything faster than that is meant to fix typos, and unlike later edits, the forum doesn't store the unedited post in this case. Only Admins can see edits anyway.

Actually I don't want to guess why Hhamadi posted like that in the bounty thread but somehow I'm a little interested to know. The post looks like an announcement about who is accepted as a bounty participant which is usually done by the manager. Do you think Hhamadi is the alt of the bounty manager? I can't find any other reason right now why such a post exists. This is a provisional guess.

...

I have just no idea/opinion why he did this 
it seems a problem that has been already pointed out by several users, several bounty task etc etc etc etc.....

(ot: there is a way to hide "bounty topics" from "Show unread posts since last visit"?)

Actually, the ninjastic site also shows these edits (not sure about your archive, I use ninjastic way more often). For example, for the mentioned post we can see the original here. It's a simple bounty report, so not much to see there

Over the course of this month, there are shillers that keep making a redundant thread within the Altcoin Discussion board that invites many spam posts. I've reported some of them, and some brand new accounts have already been nuked. But every time I pass by to the board, I always keep seeing a new thread, to the point it makes me irritated.

Spam keyword: "Checkdot" and recently they are now using "cdt" word.

Known Shillers:
SOCAR
Hazank
Nitroas
minurre
xodakovs
Found a new one:
fattyax

So, few days ago I reported to mods announcement thread that has bitcointalk reply as one of the requirements for their airdrop, which is against the rules.  Few days passed, and nothing happened so far so I am asking if others can report the thread as well, maybe that helps.

Ann thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5379058.0

Here is the proof

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf3_1D2OpBWsbHndFYg3BBE2Xm2CrZziVp_StPp-DoXc-XP6A/viewform

Their TG group where that airdrop is spread https://t.me/fundraiselaunchpad

I wouldn't "spam" the Report button that way, if a report is valid, one should be enough. There's no "voting" needed.
In this case, I guess Mods doesn't consider a requirement on a third party website reason enough to lock the thread.

More than once someone reported the thread/post, didn't get deleted. And after several other people reporting the same thing, it got deleted. Coincidence? I think not.

In this case, I guess Mods doesn't consider a requirement on a third party website reason enough to lock the thread.

Then why they usually deleted/locked threads in the past, for the exactly the same thing?  Deleting that thread wouldn't set any kind  precedence. Few similar examples, when they advertised airdrop on telegram, and thread got deleted as its not my first time I am reporting similar stuff.

Just noticed suspcious activity in [ANN][ICO] HEIDI - Swiss crypto-token which tokenises the sustained delivery , with thier ANN thread being spammed by redundant "great project" type of posts. It looked like a airdrop giveway in exchange for bitcoinalk comments, and after a bit of checking, turns out I was right and they are breaking forum rules.

This is from their Telegram group, everything is obvious here

This thread : {ann} Bitcoin Ocean - Announcement - Core Wallet 1.0 - Airdrop - Masternodes is using an paid Service it looks like to pump the thread .
And the best is they just doing it like the old school bots have done with " Good Project " and things , just got a smile because havnt seen that for years how they doing.
Have reported a punch of it today and yesterday and guess will be just a ask of time if the thread gets deletetd if they dont stop .

Yeah I am reporting posts on their thread as well, new ones keep showing up constantly. Reason they have bunch of those newbies spamming redundant nonsense is that they have airdrop going on, and one of the tasks is to leave comment on bitcointalk.

Website archive https://archive.fo/sXFFi
ANN https://archive.fo/x0Jr2

So, what's the difference between those two that got deleted, and the latest one I reported?

[GazetaBitcoin]

Ann thread full of spam and many banned commented as well. The OP was offline for almost a year with accusations for scam and accounts trading. Lately the ANN thread is filled with spam from newbies.
No time to check the project itself If anyone likes to dig some more feel free

I started in December (actually, Irestarted doing that, after a previous attempt from end of 2020) to clean all topics listed in Rikafip's thread ANN threads that are using bumping services. Within last 3 topics which I had to clean (out of 150+) I also found the one mentioned by TheBeardedBaby. I don't know its length from the moment when TheBeardedBaby listed it here, but when I found it, a few days ago, at first glance I got scared And I don't get scared too easy 

In time, the topic reached 251 pages and 5016 posts. It took me 4-5 days of heavy work (~8-10h/day), but I completely cleaned it, as I also announced inside Rikafip's thread. Right now, while I still have 105 unhandled reports from that topic, the thread was reduced to only 56 pages / 1101 posts.

All in all, I reported 3936 posts from all this topic!


If time allows me, after I will finish cleaning the remaining 2 topics from Rikafip's thread, I'd like to move my activity here, and look for any spam left within any topic listed here so far.

Haha, nice find, no question what's going on there. Based on their posting history they are obviously part of the bumping group, working at the moment across at least six different announcement threads. More info can be found in list of ann threads that are using bumping services.

Yes, later today I'll try to connect those threads and make a larger list of bot accounts

A little announcement here.

I noticed that somehow I managed to spend 0.0012 BTC in November, which were in the donation address, when I was moving funds.

Now I have restored the sum as It was before!

Apologies for the inconvenience, I should have made a separate account in my trezor only for this addy, so this stupid mistake would not have happen.

Hi, I think action should be done against this user ProfHelps. the user keeps creating a thread with his referral link to nitrobetting.eu. e clearly does not care about the rules. if you check the loyce.club link below you'll see that this is not the first time that this user's post/thread has been deleted.

Looks like the User you have written is already nuked now , as i was on the way to check his post history and there is nothing anymore.
And for sure he deserve it to got banned as he was posting his ref link in every post , nice catch .
Dont know if got a perma or temp ban but i guess we dont see him again.

[hosseinimr93]

All the posts made by the user in question have been deleted. But he/she hasn't been nuked.
In the case a user is nuked, it should be reported on deletion log.

Dont know if got a perma or temp ban but i guess we dont see him again.

As there is no record on deletion log, he hasn't been banned permanently, but may have been banned temporarily.

I must say that i havnt looked at the modlog page if there is something.
As i just saw that all is on zero , like the activity and posts.
Anyway the posts are deleted and thats the main thing .
The same ref link as the User has posted is posted many times also on other websites like reddit.
