What you think of this posting style?

[Mrbluntzy]

In one of my post, I have been scolded by a user who stated that my thread doesn't contribute a new idea that people should learn from, I felt bad about it because the post was not just a copy and paste post. In that case, if the user that OP have mentioned is just doing a copy and paste thread, such behavior is bad if he is doing is frequently in every post he made but if it's not a regular act, there are some copy past post with reference link that can still be informative to some members here.

[igebotz]

In this instance the moderator is not expected to react because this is the format In which the thread was presented. Or are we saying we shouldn't get information from the internet anymore or we should just work directly from what we have in our minds?. Won't there be limited information to share?. I am really confused to what is required from the forum users.

You must have an idea of what you want to write about and possibly include some citations from the Internet for further information - no one is telling you not to use references from the Internet, but don't just copy and paste something without contributing anything to it.

The username himself (Cryptocrit) has deleted all the posts in his profile

He can't delete his own topics.Got nuked!

[Free Market Capitalist]

Nothing. The article was helpful to me - got some information I was lacking about the whole Bybit hack. Good?

Yes, good. theymos himself does not give much importance to what is done with the merit, unless it is bought or sold. Besides I have ever given merit in some similar situation, you see a low rank member sharing a news that you find useful and you give him merit.

But I've been taking a better look at what I do in this regard for a while now. Better visit the link to see if he just copied and pasted, plus the post history to see if he does it repeatedly. Or if in a long thread that news had already been shared previously. There is a lot of merit fisher on the forum and I think we should be aware of that.

Really! I don't think so, especially when it is self-referencing. I mean, I can post whatever and reference my own website; is that OK with you?

Not just for me. It's OK for the forum. Did you read what was posted before?

I guess you are referring to someone that did not include the link but referring to himself as the source while the post was not deleted. I think I remember something like this probably in 2020 or 2021.

My position towards AI has been explained so many times before, so I really do not get what compelled you to make a personal comment about my judgment.   

I think rather you are taking something personally that you shouldn't be taking like that.

Checking whether the posts were created by AI or not simply does not matter; there is a source, and the moderators are satisfied with it.

Most people place their copied text in quotes
And reference link close by.
There's no reason posting the full blog
A few important words is enough and the link would assist users that are interested in knowing more.

I have come across post of such nature
But always thought as long as there's a reference
There's no issue.

[Charles-Tim]

There are many sources I have referred to which are generated most especially by google AI but done appropriately. Not that the whole thing I posted is AI generated without having my own written words about what I am discussing. If it was like this, no one will complain. Also he is using the website name on this forum as is username and only copying all written on the website as his topics on this forum.

[Lucius]

For user @Cryptocrit, he actually perform SEO spam (rather than regular spam) since he never write reply and all of his post contain links to cryptocrit dot xyz. IMO he should be nuked altogether with @CoinTürk and @chmod755 who do same things for many years on Press board.

Edit: some reference thread as additional information,

• Proposal: Rename the "Press" board to "Spammer of the Month" board
• Press Board - Limit Number Threads Per User Per Day.

A few days ago I "noticed" that you found my old topic, and then I remembered the time when a few of us tried to save the Press board from professional spammers, but unfortunately we didn't succeed as is evident today. There were suggestions to close that board, and now that seems to be the only solution because it no longer serves its purpose.


As for the posting style of users from the OP, everything is completely clear, but it is not only such users who are the problem, but also those who write posts in such topics - the only logical options are "report to moderator" or "ignore". Maybe we need a new rule - "SEO spam will not be tolerated", so that mods can act without any hesitation.

Spam is not tolerated anyway and what you see on other parts of the forum by people wearing a paid signature can be considered as SEO spam as well.

Doesn't anyone remember a guy who did a lot of that and spent a lot of time on the CM campaign? He used to open threads in the Economics section by simply quoting, and then disengaged from the debate. When the CM ended I don't think he was hired in any other campaign and disappeared from the forum. What I don't know is how he got in.

There is a big difference here - because advertising in signatures is allowed, while in posts it is not - it's just a matter of proving that someone is doing it intentionally, but if someone posts an identical link 8 times in 10 posts, then the matter is quite clear.

You mean @Hydrogen? Now that you mention him, I see he just woke up from a long period of inactivity. However, as far as I remember, he still joined the discussion in some topics - what I remember is that he was obsessed with tokenization.

You're right, when I wrote before I didn't remember that.

You mean @Hydrogen?

Yes, I meant him.

On the other hand, it’s pretty clear to me that user BitBakerr1 is quite a gem, just based on where he posts and which threads he receives merits from.

Yes, however based on the user's profile, they are not a typical copy-and-paste marchant like the one that was nuked.

Honestly, the level of merit fishing and alt farms has decreased dramatically. imo. On my watchlist now.

Ideally, that's how it should work with all that scrutiny. Sadly, I ain't sure those who merit posts go through all that hassles before splashing one or two merits on posts.

[Marykeller]

The username himself (Cryptocrit) has deleted all the posts in his profile. And only this behaviour of deleting the Posts indicated that he was deliberately using AI to post in the forum.


And here is his deleted posts in Ninjastic.space

The mentioned user didn't delete all his posts, rather he is just being nuked as said by Loycev
I guess he has learned his lesson the hard way. Abandoning his account will be the next thing he will do, or try to create another forum account with a changed habit of not copying and pasting what he or she reads online continuously with their links

User: Cryptocrit

He's nuked now.

FWIW, majority account who perform SEO spam usually got nuked quickly if someone bother report them. But SEO spammer remain active ever since i created thread about it[1], where few SEO spammer never got nuked/banned even though i've tried reporting them.

You mean @Hydrogen?

Yes, I meant him.

I think that he survived in the CM campaign until the very end because he at least tried to give an opinion on every content that was quoted - although as far as I remember there were "complaints" about what he was doing. In my opinion, he was a far lesser evil than what is currently happening on that board, and I suspect that more than 50% of the topics on that board are part of one alt farm and one and the same user.

On the other hand, it’s pretty clear to me that user BitBakerr1 is quite a gem, just based on where he posts and which threads he receives merits from.

For those who know how, there's no doubt that it's not difficult to get merits, especially in topics that are somewhat dubious in terms of where they are located - but that's a whole other topic. What I want to say is that some people will always take advantage of every opportunity they get - and all those who came to the forum (and still come) only to get involved in the sig campaign as soon as possible simply cannot resist trying their luck where merits are clearly circulating.

It's obvious that the mods have different criteria for such posts - some of them don't tolerate such behavior, while others are a little more lenient. If you have a long history of reports, then you know that you can report someone once or twice for plagiarism or using AI and they will get a permaban, while you can report someone else dozens of times before anything happens.

You can't actually delete your topics especially in specific boards. My best guess currently is that the report meme hunter made drew the attention of the forum moderators and they confirmed his generic post style then nuked them. By the way consider resizing your images too...

An example of the moderators' reaction to posts that were simply copied without adding a single word of their own and posted only in search of merit.

Spamming has a broad definition and generic posting seems to be a shit posting category too. I believe it's Great for meme hunter to have spotted and reported him.

User: Cryptocrit

https://www.cryptocrit.xyz/2025/03/crypto-price-prediction-litecoin-ltc.html

From what I can see with the username of the OP it seems he or she is probably the crypto news site owner or just a replica of the website, however the op seems not to waste time in trying to contribute his own thoughts towards news that he post which is somewhat not good yet at the same time is not prohibited as long as he mentions the source.

Hence I'm a bit undecided of whether such posting style is so bad or not but in a mere sense copy and paste is absolutely unacceptable.

I think you have some good points here but I would not assume the Op is the sites developer because if he does, he will be active on responding to other users in question or the threads replies.
It is like he only seek for an ulterior personal goals with his methodology of creating topics without visiting it again. But as for the information source, I may not say it is spamming since he also indicates the source links but when this incline has become a consistence of him or she, then it calls for attention why he or she can not be self exploring instead of just bumping with existed internet informations.

[Mahiyammahi]

Now, what are your opinions on this type of posting?   

And now he disappeared from the forum. No post on his account. Maybe he is using this forum as a SEO platform. To boost backlink and keyword .

He may have been hired for such thing. It's spamming. You can use some source along with your own opinion but sharing just copy paste news and at last giving the source just for avoiding plagrism isn't good.

He should have get a nutral tag atleast.

[Zoomic]

Now, what are your opinions on this type of posting?   

I have actually gone to check the profile to see for myself and just as many others have observed, all the posts have been wiped out already. In my opinion, sending contents from other sources and acknowledging that source is not wrong. However consistently using that posting style without adding any other idea to it is cheating. I call it cheating because the poster is only using such methods to complete his posts counts or even complete posts for campaign purposes. Such lazy posting style should be discouraged in this forum. I am glad that neccessary actions have been taken already against the account. Doing this to every other accounts using such posting styles will motivate many to be more original in their writing.

[Hazink]

What's the point of giving the user a neutral? The best punishment has already been served to him, if you ask me. The user in question has been nuked down and all posts wiped. Neutral on such a newbie profile is just a waste; if they are still allowed to post, spammers don't care much about those as long as their purpose can still be served.

[Ultegra134]

Well, the first user has already been nuked, so there's no point in discussing that. I generally frown upon posts and users who constantly copy-paste from a news website, without adding any value or input to the topic, cryptocritic was doing just that. As for the other user, Bitbaker isn't that far from him either, he has even submitted a merit application claiming that his posts are good quality wise and worthy of merit.

I'm not against it, but he has already received a decent amount from what I'd call minimal effort posting. It's not against the rules, but I personally wouldn't merit such posts. The difference between the two posters is that Bitbaker doesn't only post copy-pasted articles, which is why the first one got nuked.
