To the attention of the Mods and Admins, account farms abusing bounty.

What is nuking anyway in terms of this forum?

Nuking a user means that a mod can, with a single click, delete all user's messages and ban him immediately.
But it only works on newbies.

What does it mean?
From what you wrote, I imagine that nuke is only applied for newbies by moderators and above; or nuke is applied for all ranks but moderators are only allowed to nuke newbies and for higher ranks only global moderators or admins can nuke them.

Can you clarify my question, please.

Ah i get it now.
That surely is a nice option to have. Must be  load on the forum server tho, since some newbies do rank up quite a bit of spam

Mods, GM and admins can nuke (a type of) newbies.
Ranks above (and some newbies) cannot be nuked by anyone, but they can be banned by GMs and admins.

Doesn't seem like this was a side wide attack, and only specifically for that thread. It'll be interesting whether this continues after the thread has been unlocked. I'm glad that the thread was locked for a preventive measure as going through them manually was exhausting. However, I was also expecting to see this leak into other bounty threads, but it seems to be a targeted attack on this particular thread.

@btcltcdigger, I guess you can unlock the thread, as all the spammers were nuked. Let's see if they will come back again, so keep an eye on it for just in case you need to lock it again.
I haven't seen it happening again. Hope that was the end.

Have you received any feedback from the company regarding the bot spam?

The project team claims they have nothing to do with it.

I'm unlocking it, so lets see what happens

I'm happy to see a serious bounty manager. I'll keep an eye on the thread. If the team really have nothing to do with the bumps then this is probably an directed attack towards the project, or a random spam. We'll see

Bumping this one again as there is more fake activity starting from 24th of December with fresh accounts.
Thanks to Rikafip for bringing the attention back to the bounty.

Seems like those spammers from ILCOIN MINI BOUNTY came back. In the first 2 months of the campaign approximately 400 members joined, and now in the last 4-5 days even more than that joined, so looks like they restarted.
This time is a bit different though, as they signed up and are in the spreadsheet. Also, it looks like that there are several different batches of accounts.
