Report Incentivised posting

Just the first page of post history reveals that the user is using all possible methods to shill BG - hyperlinks, images, mentioning projects that are exclusively available on that platform, and mentioning the platform itself.

You're right. The user isn't very subtle in using the exchange's name in every possible way.

The user just received another warning (the second one) of 20%. And looking at the user's account, I don't think it will take long to receive the third one...

Thank you as always Lucius.

I reported this BG shiller on March 16, and to my surprise, s/he hasn't learned his lesson. He continue shilling the exchange you know whom. This time not directly mentioning the CEX but instead sharing screenshots, for no reason at all, lol, clearly displaying the name, logo, and everything else!

Yet, he just continued doing what they always do, creating a new one today that highlighted Bitget in the images and mentioned the name along with Binance as subtle.

How long can he go on like this? Ban possibility?

There are users who unfortunately never learn.

The user has received his second 20% warning, and I don't think it will be long before he receives the third and first strike if he doesn't change his attitude.

Thanks!

The user has received his third 20% warning and also his first strike. Due to the consecutive warnings (one yesterday and one today), he will be unable to post for a few hours, which should change his mind. Otherwise, his account could be blocked (with prior notice) for a few days. If after all this the user continues with the same behavior, the account could be blocked indefinitely.

Do we have any option to find out when the user received the last warning or strike in their profile page? Because going through this reporting thread everytime when I want to report a user is time-consuming. If we have an easier way like a log or something that can be very useful.

In the user profile, you can see how many strikes the account has. What you can't see are the warnings that have expired., but if the account has an active warning, you can see it.

I'll ask the administrator if we can have an updated list in each user's profile to save time. If it's technically possible, I don't think there's a problem.

Right to rehabilitation and forgetting. It is clear that for malicious spammers this is not so important, but for those who simply made a mistake once, it is not very good if everyone will see at any time that the one has a bad thing in the past. It is enough that moderators can see the history of warnings at any time, in case of repeated violations.

What if we have a temp log for warnings, like it only lasts for 14 days or until the warning expires, that can't hurt the one time who made a mistake and also for someone who is being found repetitive in doing violations, can be easier to get caught.

There can be a compromise for this if DTeam members were given the ability to see the Watched Members page (it is the page where users who have recently got a registered warning are listed). But I don't think this should be public.

Not publicly, but I think the D.Team members should be able to see that (for a short duration). I have reported several abusers so far, and I noticed that many of them had previously been warned. I didn't know that because I didn’t go through all the pages of reported users. However, it would be nice to be able to see that, again only for a short duration...

Anyway, I also believe in "Right to rehabilitation and forgetting" that's why I said, short duration.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I always try to use my left hand more than my right, trying to minimize the potential consequences of even the smallest things, so I don't have problems using rehab and forgetting.

What I don't know (technically speaking again) is if it's possible to do this based on certain parameters or numbers of warnings, strikes, etc. That's something the administrator will have to tell us.

It's actually just an idea that I don't know if it can be done, it depends on how busy the administrator is and whether it's possible or not.

If necessary, details will be discussed later.

This is not a new tactic, but shills who have been detected and marked use the following trick - they simply create new alt accounts, open a topic and then answer the question to themselves, where the answer is of course aimed at the shilling of a certain service.

Let's look at a specific topic -> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=328978.0

User : Z-crypt + post history opened a topic and asked a question, and received a concrete answer in this post who wrote the already proven BG shill and hid his link behind a hyperlink.

If we go a little further, we can very easily assume that @Z-crypt is BG shill considering that his posts suggest so, and also shows a connection to another potential BG shill if we look at the following topic : https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=329003

I wonder what percentage of the threads and discussions on this forum are started by BG shills?

I'm sure they try this and probably sometimes successfully. I deleted the answer with a link, the shill left it got a warning with a date after this post, so no additional actions at the moment.

look at the following topic : https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=329003

CryptoRealMan got a registered warning, and shill badge.
