Yobit spam on the forum

[Findingnemo]

129 users who were wearing a yobit signature and had at least 1 good report against them in the last 14 days are banned for 14 days. All yobit signatures are wiped. Signatures containing "yobit.net" are banned for 60 days.

Some people were talking about neg-trusting spammers for spamming. This is not appropriate; report the posts, and if that doesn't seem to be working well, come to Meta with specific examples and suggestions.

Saved bitcointalk from spammers.

Ban based on reports on their bad post (at least one). 129/321 ~ 40% of users wear Yobit signature got bans or signature replaced with "Am I spamming? Report me!"
However, as DdmrDdmr pointed out, some users wear Yobit signature actually made decent posts, so ban them due to reports might lead to another kind of abusements, like personal attacks. I know that staffs will look at report, but maybe personal attacks might occur. What should be applied with spam reporters?

Maybe let's even stop to chat on the forum? What the hell am I seeing here? ban for too many messages just because people are signed from yobit. Why wasn't this question for the throne in other companies? It is clear that people write messages to make money. I went through some accounts who have already banned and in fact most people have quite normal messages.

This is what they are doing when they saw many people earning money. They don't really want you to earn money in this forum. Just them. And they will even say that "This forum is not made in making money." BS.  As if they are not even wearing a signature.  . Nice cleaning of hands mates.

What should be applied with spam reporters?

None. They want to eradicate all of these "spammers." In fact this is what they really want, eradicate those users that wear Yobit signature even though some users are not spamming at all. True isn't it?

This campaign has caused an outbreak of appalling spam that was spreading like wildfire within a mere few days and is a perfect example of what happens when campaigns don't care about the forum nor have a manager. If the signature campaign guidelines were enforced more like this with removal of signatures then the forum would be a much cleaner place. I really think we should look at alternative options for how campaigns can operate here. We can see that when we let people do what they want chaos ensues like it did with yobit and this is the second time it's happened with them, whereas campaigns that have managers who are doing their job properly like Chipmixer they actually have positive reputations amongst users and actually improve posts in my opinion.

I think the discussion was more about potential negative feedback for people promoting scams which I still think is relevant to discuss, though whether yobit is a scam exchange or promoting ponzis is a different matter (but their current own ICO does look like a ponzi scheme):

It looks like a ponzi pretending to be an exchange and that's based on my experience with them from a couple of years ago... looks like they went in even deeper since then, IEO and other nonsense.

I never looked at them like this. Never had problems in last couple of years, I even got bitcoin shit fork from them. To be honest, I have never payed too much attention to their not provably fair dice, shady investment box or hundreds dead shitcoins. I used them only as exchange and I have never had any problems with withdrawals. I always ignored their e-mails about ICO's they hold, but today I decided to actually look at latest ICO/IEO/whatever it is called these days:

YoBit IEO (ICO) in 37 hrs!

100% in 80% out with profit, 20% to yobit. And then I checked their other ICO's and they are nearly the same as this one.

Someone please look at all numbers and model and tell me that this is not ponzi.

I know I've mentioned this, but  I'll refrain from tagging anyone for spamming, and follow your instructions.

I'm glad that Yobit is in a time-out.  Maybe next time they'll hire a manager rather than just encouraging a bunch of spammers to dust off their Sr. Member alts and plague to forum with shitposts.

Can someone parse all these users into a list?

[tranthidung]

List? What did you mean? This one, maybe
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1545652.0
One again, DdmrDdmr might help for sure. He actually scrapped data to make above analysis.
However, I don't think should be strict like that, because theymos said that we should cover about past faults if users show they actually changed and won't do samething again.

That's a Good decision after all.  If anyone is spamming he should be reported.

If one person had a good report against them on one account, and they have multiple accounts (wearing a yobit signature), are you going to ban them all?

Evading a ban is already against the rules, but this would prevent the defense that they “didn’t know” they were banned, or the possibility that someone will evade their ban and not get noticed they are evading the ban.

[stompix]

Wow, really surprised about the move.

Judging how the number of participants went up from 80 to 180 and then to over 300 probably by the time theymos look into it they were close to 500? Would be interesting to see how many posts they have made during these days and how much merit they've earned,I'm putting my bet on a 1:1000 ratio at best.

I'm also wondering if the guys behind stake are getting the message

Your dirty face is still missing. Go take a sedative and go to bed.

Yobithurt much?

Maybe let's even stop to chat on the forum?

Why would you care? From October last year you didn't post a single message till you enrolled in this campaign!

Brutal Thanks for the quick action, it's nice to see Admin draw a line.

[Thule]

Will only lead to one thing that now our beloved campaign managers yahoo,lauda etc reached their goal and are sending their help offer to Yobit to get their cut.

Let's see how quickly Yobit will be back with one of the known campaign managers.

I think its time to be a Yobit-Hunter
(Gotta charged my phone first, will be back after a few hours )

So it's still possible to get them 14 days banned right now if I report a post and it will be marked as good post? I thought it's only for good reported comments before the signature got removed?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

That was swift and fair.

Indeed it was!  Now I'm sure there's going to be a barrage of complaint threads in Meta about this from the Yobit campaigners who got banned.  I'll probably have to stay away from this section for a bit, but we'll see.

Let's see how quickly Yobit will be back with one of the known campaign managers.

Well that's what they ought to do, just like any other campaign.  And if not that, they should at least raise their standards as far as the members they accept.  If they did that, the automated system would probably work out fine for everyone.

I read that yahoo was approached by yobit first to manage their campaign before it was launched. The offer was most likely declined.

[scambust]

Some readers caught a Yobit spammer plagiarising one-liners  in the same thread - so much laziness, I guess they need to fill the 20 post quota. So, I reported the post to the moderator. That was three hours ago and still  0% accuracy.  

Anyway, I archived the posts just in case I have to elevate the offense.

Please post it there with evidence. => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.0

I'm pretty sure some global mod or some ban police is going through that thread on a regular basis.
