Annoying spam marketing for the BingX exchange

[albon]

What happened:: I created this topic because I was frustrated by the annoying spam promotion that many Newbies are engaging in regarding the BingX platform in the Altcoins section. They’ve cluttered the board with spam posts that are always related to advertisements for this exchange, even within other members' threads. These users are trying to market their unknown exchange unprofessionally and attract members by creating multiple accounts.

I previously reported the posts by dhray123 and Ramzy.Eth, and their accounts have already been banned. Now, they continue spamming through (DALUKAS99 — MAS1 — BankyCrypt65 — Xeeycoin01), and there might be dozens more accounts violating forum rules and posting content generated by chatbot text.

NEW: AntonietteK - R1dwanRz

Additional Notes:
The exchange team could have simply created a single thread to promote their platform instead of this nonsense we’re seeing and avoided the generated/plagiarized posts. I will continue reporting their posts, and whenever I find a member following their approach, I will add them to the list and update his neutral trust.

--------------------------
Note: I have no idea about the exchange they’re promoting, but my impression of their annoying posts has left me frustrated and concerned. I advise any member who comes across any unfamiliar exchange to do his research, as this kind of marketing could be a trap.

I’ve come across other accounts doing the same thing with other sites and I keep wondering is there any incentive to it? Like do these sites pay these accounts to go to different platform and make posts that has their site name in it? Or are they just bots?

I actually don’t see how this will help them though and just like you said instead of promoting the exchange in question it will instead just raise suspicions and people will become more skeptical if they should use it or not.

from the looks of it their spam posts are starting to get deleted now. one of them is also now banned(MAS1) and I'd assume the rest will also get banned if more of their post gets deleted.

I completely agree, but sadly these kind of teams's goal is to get their project seen by spamming, they don't realize(or maybe they do) that are doing more harm than good to their project.

I think these guys are just Crypto shillers maybe working with Bingx in listing these tokens they promote since once anyone is interested investing on the token then they will have to sign up with Bingx exchange.

I feel that Bingx might also not be aware of the fact that the projects owners of the coins/tokens they are listing on their exchange might be employing crypto shillers to market these tokens which is really bad but also I think even if they become aware, expect if there are legal issues or much complain from the public then they not even bother about it since they're gaining more customers through it

They may be, as Amphenomenon mentioned, crypto shillers who taking commissions from the exchange as they seek in this way to attract investors to the platform’s tokens and services and encourage members to register, or it is possible that these promoters are part of the platform’s marketing team. Whatever they are doing, there is definitely an incentive driving them.

Good news, thank you for letting me know. This member was one of the most aggressively promoting members of this exchange. I hope that if you come across more of these annoying members, you report their posts, as the boards will be cleaned of their worthless contributions.

That's exactly right; they've already promoted many shitcoins that have been listed on this exchange. They might be more concerned with attracting more registrants and potential clients to their platform than with the losses incurred by investors from such misleading promotions... I might try contacting BingX to see what they have to say about what’s happening here.

The ironic thing is that while the exchange won't even bother about this, many meme investors won't even care about this as long as they can see a coin to dump their money they will, simply waiting for one to pump and make something worth it while it works for others many in in the end will find out they are just having an habit similar bad gambling habit which will make incurred so many financial lost

I might try contacting BingX to see what they have to say about what’s happening here.

Sounds good, please if you reach them I would love to hear about their response on this issue andhow they plan to go abouts it,  if it's possible share the story here.

Report them as AI spammers. Mitchell recently ran out of patience and just started banning them all.

I've removed some of the accounts that seem to only have AI spam posts. Usually I only remove the reported posts, but if I keep seeing them, I just nuke em, since they add nothing.

I reported dozens of Ramzy.Eth posts, and luckily he wasn't given a second chance like the AI ​​spammers before. I think the same will happen to all the other accounts.

I'm with you on this one. It's not a cool way to promote their exchange and it's just cluttering things up. Plus, it's shady that they're making multiple accounts to post about it.

Honestly, the name "BingX" gives people a false impression, like it might be connected to Bing (which is owned by Microsoft).

I guess this is the exchange that they're promoting.

I remembered when Bitget hired so many newbies here promoting their exchange. We've seen how newbies continuously advertised Bitget here way back a few months ago, and it seems like it became a success since the exchange has around 21.4 M monthly visits (based on Coingecko). Of course, they promoted on other platforms as well but the point is, I think that BingX is following what Bitget also did hoping that the same thing will happen to them.

I expect more newbies promoting this exchange in the future.

The challenge here is not in the intention for them to make the necessary promotion for their brand, but using some suspicious moves and taken those steps as against the required standard for members to make post, this is strictly called spamming because they are farming account by their self to make posts on several threads just in other to achieve the awareness promotion they intended for the platform, now tell me, if they can do this bad, what else do you expect from their users to experience with the use of their platform, they would have just created their announcement thread and other members will take a look on what they have to offer, thanks or bring this into notice OP.

I initially thought this is the case of shiller/spammer cluster that I previously fought alongside several members of the forum for a quite some time, which we finally realize is kinda fighting hydra, since many more came after one fallen, their MO was one ask and the other answer, creating impression that the project they're shilling caught some "organic" interest.

Reading some of their archived posts [since they're all nuked by now, good job guys], it seems they do monologues? I think you can ask help on nutildah's thread, AI Spam Report Reference Thread, if you haven't already, to get boost in reporting to mods, giving better and faster chance of the nuclear to fall upon those accounts.

[The Cryptovator]

I assume they hired a shilling team from somewhere else to spam on the forum. As far as I know, a lot of Bitcointalk users and farmers have been selling shilling services on Fiverr. Even they have a few legendary accounts as well. So most likely, BingX has been using something like this. This is totally an unprofessional way to promote their exchange. They are not aware of how forums work, and their attempt would have a negative impact on their exchange. They should follow standard marketing strategies to promote their exchange. However, keep reporting such posts if you notice.

It would be difficult to prove whether the development team are directly supporting this spam or if it is a service from the tokens that are being listed as I believe it is in their interest to promote the platform. Sometimes I think the main purpose of such services is Spamdexing^[1] meaning that we start talking about the service and thus we promote those services as well so the best solution is to ignore them and click on the report button.

Creating multiple accounts is very easy, so they'll likely continue spamming the forum. I think the best solution we can focus on now is to keep an eye on these spammers and report them so they’ll get banned. Maybe in the long run, they’ll get tired of it, and there's a possibility that the new exchange they’re promoting is a scam. If they were legitimate, they wouldn’t allow disrespect towards the forum because it would ruin their reputation here. We all know that this is the largest forum about cryptocurrency, so having a bad reputation here would be a huge loss for them—if they aren’t running a scam.

It baffles me how they could be doing such on platforms with rules and regulations governing them and they want members from the same platform to patronise them and if I am not mistaken they too have policies, rules and regulations governing them and if any member should violate them, that member would be penalised for it.

If as an exchange or whatever they are, keeping up with orderliness is a problem but instead recruiting shillers to spam platforms just to get traffic to their platforms is their goal then it is not a good one for them because that alone shows their intentions and going by that it would be difficult for them to achieve their goals as a business organisation because they have already done what is not appropriate as an organisation.

If they really want to promote their products here, they should be able to create an announcement thread here to officially introduce their organisation and following all procedures to making sure they are on the  safe side protecting their interest and organisation rather than this they got themselves into if truly they are involved in this act. Seeking the help of a campaign manager to promote their product and services should be their focus now as their approach is not healthy for their organisation.

[Smartvirus]

This form of promotional strategy greatly undermines the genuineness of a project, be it a casino, bookie, exchange or what have you. It shows the level at which, team members would go to project themselves ahead of some good reviews just to bring themselves to public notice.
Unfortunately, these habits when noticed does more harm than good to the projects they tend to project out there as, the strategy is seen for the brainchild of the project. When it’s malicious, you’re sure to have same attribute.

I don’t frequent the altcoin board or bounty section but, you could keep up the reporting @OP and they would get what they deserve eventually.
