[LIST] Banned users

[LoyceV]

banned user who have very multiple account
victimNo has 357 alt account
MrFudged has 228 alt account
KNC_areThief has 187 alt account

Those are only the banned accounts (that I know of). There are much more accounts, I searched LoyceV's complete List of all Bitcointalk usernames for those usernames:

• victimNo: 852 accounts
• MrFudged: 13937 accounts
• KNC_areThief: 9208 accounts

As far as I know accounts only get banned after spamming, so those inactive accounts are either waiting for a Units of Evil payment, or can still continue spamming at some point.

There are also many accounts with random names that all have the same website linked in their profile. It's been a while since I looked for those, but I remember many thousands of "backlinks" created that way.

Wow. I didn't check all the accounts, but all the MrFudged and KNC_areThief accounts I have checked, they were proxybanned.
VictimNo accounts had a double penalty: banned and proxybanned.

@LoyceV, I wanted to know if your ban list is updated and this profile was banned for the second time after being miraculously unbanned: pirate hunter because it was last active recently.

The username appears on your ban list: http://loyce.club/bans/usernames.txt but it's quite confusing when it comes to BPIP

[LoyceV]

@LoyceV, I wanted to know if your ban list is updated

Yes, but it turns out i didn't remove him from usernames.txt. Pirate hunter wasn't on banned.html, Autobanned.txt, Nuked.txt or banned.txt. I also checked my local copies of modlog, and he didn't get banned after his last post.
My log shows this:

Code:

2019-12-31_Tue_23.57h
Removing userID: 2347750 from banned.html because they're posting and thus can't be banned

The username appears on your ban list: http://loyce.club/bans/usernames.txt

I think I fixed this bug already, but just didn't update usernames.txt yet. I've removed pirate hunter, and also the following user:

Code:

1772877: TotSamiy

If all works well, this shouldn't happen again for new unbans.

Thanks

Feel free to use this to update your list (you too @suchmoon)

I can't guarantee that these accounts are permanantely banned (only a global mod could tell) but they should be as I made sure to only save the ones that were last active prior to january 2017.

[LoyceV]

I can't guarantee that these accounts are permanantely banned (only a global mod could tell) but they should be as I made sure to only save the ones that were last active prior to january 2017.

Does that mean you (as a non-global Mod) can see they're banned, but it might be a temporary ban so you can't tell for sure? Or does it mean you've listed all accounts that were last active before 2017?

The former. I can't tell if it's a permanant ban.

The listed accounts are both banned and were last active prior to 2017 which means it's almost guaranteed that the bans are permanant, because it's very unlikely for an inactive user to get a ban (non-perma) for something he did a few years back.

[LoyceV]

The former. I can't tell if it's a permanant ban.

Thanks, that's a great addition to my list!
One more question though: does this classify as Autobanned, Nuked, or a combination of both?

Maybe I should forget about the separate list for Nuked accounts. Is anyone using that list?

Even if a few slipped through without ban, if they post again I'll remove them from my list.

[DaveF]

This is probably better in another thread;
But since we are discussing banned users. Has there ever been any reason given / discussion about not tagging banned users in their username?

A few of the other forums I am on do that.
Just to let people know that if they are PMing someone or responding to a post / waiting for a response from someone it's not going to happen.

It's a combination of both. I excluded proxybanned accounts from the lists, since that type of ban can be lifted after paying a fee.

Maybe I should forget about the separate list for Nuked accounts. Is anyone using that list?

You can easily tell if a banned account has been nuked or not by looking at the activity and postcount (both equal to 0) so putting everything into one list might be a good idea.

Thank you @LoyceV for updating this thread.

It took me longer than expected to process this, but I'm done. I've updated my OP, and now list 613,336 banned users.

Thank you very much for this list!

@Coin-1: this is going to mess up your totals for the past 6 months

I will no longer keep separate lists for "Autobanned" and "Nuked" accounts. This means I'll remove 2a and 2b. 2c will become the new "2".

For machine processing:
2a. http://loyce.club/bans/Autobanned.txt (Autobanned userIDs).
Sample:

Code:

182
333
545
651

2b. http://loyce.club/bans/Nuked.txt (Nuked userIDs).
Sample:

Code:

8841
11570
12620
13359

2c. http://loyce.club/bans/banned.txt (2a and 2b combined)

I kept the older files:
https://loyce.club/bans/Autobanned.nomoreupdates.txt
https://loyce.club/bans/Nuked.nomoreupdates.txt
https://loyce.club/bans/banned.beforeaddinglistfromOmegaStarScream.txt

Thank you very much for this list!

You're most welcome. I could go through more accounts if you'd like? I was thinking of doing the same thing as I did before, except this time, I will save the ones that were last active before Q1/Q2 2018.

EDIT: Hmm. Not sure if that's going to be helpful though, because if you used this list, and I'll be scrapping users starting from userID 940,001 (registered in January 2017), then I might end up with a similar list? Also, do you happen to know when did Vod start to keep track of banned accounts (I'm referring to the list he gave you)?

[LoyceV]

Those users were banned 3 years ago already, since then many other older users might have been banned too.

Also, do you happen to know when did Vod start to keep track of banned accounts (I'm referring to the list he gave you)?

I'm not sure when @Vod started keeping track.

About 11 months have since passed, so I decided to update these statistics. As far as I can see, the vast majority of banned users are newbies. I guess most of them were automatic bots spamming on the forum.

@Coin-1: this is going to mess up your totals for the past 6 months

Yes, OmegaStarScream's update could cause a huge spike in these totals. But I would make an announcement here to explain why the numbers have increased drastically.

Update:

I removed this list 5 days later, because it was "for Mod eyes only".

To be honest, I wasn't late in downloading the full version of the "banned.txt" file. It contains 613406 (!) user IDs. As soon as I saw that satoshi was crossed out in one of my statistical threads, I simply created a new file named "blocked.txt" and wrote down his user ID there. Perhaps it is needed to manually exclude all VIP members and other respectable persons from the full list of banned users and add the rest of the users to the standard version of the "banned.txt" file.

That's still more than the total Merit amount sent since it's introduction more than 3 years ago:

Total: 899926
