Are they bots?

[Poker Player]

Some time ago I saw that there was a giveaway on this thread.

I bumped it some times to only recently realize that no giveaway had been deposited in my 777coin account.

I asked about that and was told that the giveaway had ended some time ago.

Then I thought, what are those guys doing? They bump the thread every day. They must have realized that no money is deposited into their account.

I've looked at their post history and I've seen this:

User joshing. His post history consists in 41 pages repeating the same message: "777coin username: joshing
Thank you"

User levik. The same: 54 pages just bumping that thread.

Then there are others who wrote some posts in the beginning but for the past like three years they have been just bumping that thread.

For example: ronaldo8971 and planetroving.

I think they must be bots, otherwise I don't understand. I suppose that should be reported. Is it OK just with this thread or should I also report them?

Probably report them but I don't know if they've broken a forum rule other than spamming?

Did the OP say it was discontinued? You might want to report the thread and ask a mod to lock it.

Can be some paid posters for advertising the thread in the section, but i doubt lightlord would do that. The bot thing is also possible. It's a very easy way to develop accounts for sale, well before the merit system.
On the other hand no forum rules were broken, so I guess reporting them won't do any change.

I'm sorry if I'm bothering you but I don't quite get the for sale aspects of the whole issue here

That's pretty obvious that those accounts are bots they might using SEO tool where you can automate the post on the same thread.
They use it to bump the thread for free based on what I see.

There are some service selling to automate bump the thread like this offer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1389668.0

Actually, the accounts you posted above almost all posts are the same "Username and Thank you" Which is spam but we don't have evidence if they are a bot or real people.

Report them and let moderator instead to decide if they are going to deleted/ban that accounts.

i don't think they are bots, they mostly seem to be "faucet workers" and this is a way of advertising for these gambling sites. they basically give the same amount as their in-site faucet would give with the difference that they benefit from this giveaway because their topic stays on top.
considering this has been going on for a long time with many topics, i don't think it is breaking any forum rules.
