Bounty cheater (+40 accounts) - Is this a bot or ai ?

[Bthd]

There were some old cases for this known alt group but this is not a normal alt group in my opinion. May be a person can do this systematically but it's not easy.

* They are always registering to the forum with 4 accounts in 5 minutes. (proof)
* They are always registering to bounties with 10 accounts in 5 minutes. (check the images, check registering dates of them)
* They are always posting proof messages with 10 accounts in 5 minutes. (proof)
* They are always joining article or content bounties.
* They are always using google translate and using copy paste articles for joining campaigns.

The mod who nuked most of the bounty cheater's profiles did a good job. I noticed a similar pattern when I checked out the accounts. The last online dates and times are within minutes of each other. Could be some greedy bounty hunter behind them. I do hope the remaining accounts get banned too.

A great catch. Thanks for giving me the information. Marked these accounts on my spreadsheet. Again thank you. Keep it up!! Have a great day.

Could be some greedy bounty hunter behind them.

That would be my first guess, as we know there are so many of them on the forum abusing bounties all over the place--and that's been happening for years.  

Nice catch on this one, OP.  I have a question, though.  What is the difference between AI and a bot?  My understanding is that AI can learn and that a bot is just a script of code made to automate a task, but why would you suspect some AI thing would be involved with cheating in a bounty?  I'm not up to speed on AI, but does the average shitposting bounty abuser have access to that tech?

Marked these accounts on my spreadsheet.

Glad to see you're a responsible bounty manager who's keeping track of this stuff.  That's rare.

You are right about how ai and bots works. My words was a little ironic but there are some interesting things at this case. The scammer has more than 300 accounts (old cases and some of them is registered but not activated for scamming yet) and joining all bounties with +50 accounts in a very short time. It is not joining easy bounties like twitter or facebook campaings. Scammer is joining article campaigns with +50 accounts. His activities requires superhuman effort. May be there is only a team work or a bot.
