Run a search on "Bitget" and you will see that although 75% of his posts are about that he also does "genuine" no shill posts.

Anyhow as long as the warning appears only on the hyperlink they will keep posting without it. AI generated messages and accounts can be created in seconds nowadays.

I will look into his posts later, and possibly his account will be banned if he continues this attitude.

AI garbage is unstoppable, even the tools are not much effective in identifying them, lot of false positives as well as they now offer humanize version of AI garbage to bypass AI detection.

Yeah, they do that without mentioning the name, they use the event names that keeps changing once in a while, their native token, and are mentioned in the charts or any image they use in a thread and then the random project's names.

The most annoying of all is that they also post garbage without shilling any token or bitget, probably to disguise themselves as normal users

Thanks +1, posts #Trashed, penalty notice sent and given 3 strikes (banned from posting) after multiple warnings as prime example of a BG shill. I noticed VP going similar route with 3 strikes for similar offenders, as well as new link warning from admin, so not going to overthink this decision. I'm surprised they got away with it for so long to be honest, has been a couple of months already.

After reporting countless shillers from this shaddy exchange, I have notices these patterns.

1. Won't even try to hide, directly post links from their twitter handle and blog sites!
2. Directly post images from trade view panel or certain promotional events where the name and logo is clearly visible.
3. Not directly mentioning it anywhere but would use SS from the exchange or certain trash token as a topic.
4. Will try to hide the link by using url tag. Example "Here".
5. Would break down the exchange name. Example Goo glo to hide detection.
6. Would use certain terms or feature from the exchange.

In this regard, my proposal is to ban beginners from posting images and direct (clickable) links until they prove that they are here with a sincere motive to be useful members of the forum.

Agreed! +1

A minimum rank requirement should be in place to be able to post images and links. Because no matter how hard we try, if they can get banned and come back again with a new account, without any sorts of restriction they would simply do that. In fact they are doing that at this very moment.

We report them, they abandon the account and comes back with a new one the next day!

Or what I suggested, or what exists on BTT and is called evil fee, and it is about blocking the IP ranges from which most of the abusers come. Given that these shills are not very intelligent and that probably a lot of them actually create alt farms, this measure alone would prevent them from registering on the forum at all.

Of course, any innocent potential user who falls into this trap could be given access to the forum.

Agreed, it's been on admin's to do list for a while. Whether he get's round to it or not is another story, busy doing other things at the moment.

Not a bad idea! But I doubt the admin would consider something big like that without taking a lot of time. Remember we don't even have the 2FA yet, in 2025!
By the way, is there any way to see the daily registration stats? It would give a rough idea of the situation and the potential outcome if the admin actually decides to charge an evil fee.

I don't know what the admin has in his bucket list! But this patch should be among the important ones! Top priorities!

Top priority is karma requirement for rank promotion that was recently approved by the senate, not much else.

This has been on the list since last year already

Judging by this post, @admin did something about BG shills - in the middle of the link they post, he inserted a warning that leads to this topic.

However, considering that most forum members don't mind this type of advertising at all, I wonder how effective such a warning will be - in the end, it won't stop the shills.

Ideal, at least now they'll be told to stop posting links if it's just going to backfire.

I assume the word blocking won't happen, but who knows.

It seems that for now this will not be the case, although I do not see why, after everything presented in relation to that company, one should hesitate with that option. The only thing that makes sense to me is that these users (no matter how bad/fake they are) bring some traffic to the forum - but if we depend on them in any way then we have big problems.

I'm really curious if this link blocking has any effect on hidden links (hyperlinks), and does the admin have a solution for the images that are also used?
