BG shilling and forum actions!

[Jokers]

Reading Jokers post helps a little by saying if they open a topic in the appropriate area and have a discussion it's fine, but where do we draw the line on shilling? Everyone wearing a sig could be guilty of shilling in some form or another. Do we know for a fact that people saying Bitget are getting paid everytime they say it? I have said it twice in this post, do they owe me money?

Bitget is not a little-known exchange, so many people say something about it, but natural posters usually don't promote some single exchange and its projects only, and they usually don't say that they are beginners and know nothing about the projects they try to shill again and again. And don't use AI... and don't plagiarize... and, and, and...

I more or less agree with some of the things you've said, but it's not necessary to think too hard about the issue to try to find a much simpler solution than people think. There are behaviors that can be seen from very far away.

Is it difficult to put the name of the exchange in the signatures?.

If they'd wanted to fairly promote... they want to imitate a natural interest. It doesn't work and many know that Bitget uses spam to promote itself, but they still think it may work.

Bitget makes a lot of money, I don't know why they want to do things like that when they would get better results with normal ad campaigns or a simple signature campaign. This way they would also have an impeccable brand image, but…

@Jokers & @Freemind, I think that this company is run by extremely greedy people who take advantage of the fact that in the online world there are thousands of people who will spam for less than $1 a day - and what is known is that they are paid in some kind of tokens that can be completely worthless in the end.

If you asked me, I would very simply prevent them from promoting themselves in this way by putting the word they use most often on the black list - because for every detected account they create at least two new ones.

When you add to that that most of the forum members have nothing against what they are doing (they literally support what is against the rules of the forum), then it is difficult for us to come out as winners.

I think that for the moment it will not be necessary to put any words on the blacklist, since as you have seen, we have caught the attention of users who carried out these practices. I don't know how they will pay these users, but what I do know is that the way of doing things is not the most appropriate for a brand with international projection.

We can wait a few days (or weeks) to see how things develop and try to prevent them from happening again in a more peaceful way and without having to ban words.

After some time, I checked what was happening with the BG shills that were already mentioned in this topic and the results are as follows :

Smcchamp + post history

Jomisa + post history

Crypto_Potato + post history

BattleAxe1  + post history

These are currently the profiles that literally mention BG in almost every post, whether it's just name mentions or hyperlinks.

Thanks for mentioning those profiles in your posts. I have discovered several interesting things that will be taken into account for future sanctions towards some users who do not want to comply with the forum rules, and I say that they do not want to, because they know and understand them well.

Thanks for your help.

I'll add another one active shill to look at with time https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=98916

I was honestly interested in what was happening with all the profiles I detected before, and the ones I mentioned are still the most obvious in what they do, some have become cautious and mention BG in every fifth post or just mention tokens/coins that are traded on that platform. Some of the accounts are inactive, but I'm sure there are many more that no one has detected.

I hope that interesting things will help us fight against such things even more successfully in the future.


@Jokers, sometimes it seems to me that all these accounts are created by some kind of magic, considering how many there are. It's a bit OT, but is there something similar to "evil points" on ATT, as is the case on BTT? It's about the fact that some IP addresses from which the abuse comes are simply blocked and the user has to pay a fee to be able to register.

Correct. That information has helped me keep track of other things. At the moment I'm still connecting the dots since I don't have much time during the week due to my job, but on the weekend I will have something interesting for the administrator.

Thanks again

As far as I know, there's no anything similar to "evil points". As for now, there's no decision on banning BG shills, so there's no point in additional actions on preventing their new registrations. Hope Freemind's idea will give us more tools to fight with this bot farmer/s.

It's good that there are people who want to solve the "problem", because if you've noticed through this topic, most of the members don't mind such things at all. I also did a little research on my theory that there is at least one or more Senior + members who give +karma to all these accounts, but I concluded that it is difficult to accuse someone of abusing karma if you don't have concrete evidence.


@Jokers, somehow it doesn't seem to me that they are too intelligent to know how to mask their IP address, and if we were to check if there is a connection between them in that way, it might be revealed that they are connected to each other, that is, that they are alt accounts. Anyway, that was just a thought I now have an answer to.

Wait, there's no ignore button to hide the posts of users? It's specifically designed to hide spam from users like these. I guess it's disabled or something, otherwise we wouldn't still be having this conversation about BitGet shills.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no mention of the ignore list anywhere in the user settings anywhere, at least from what I've seen.

Sweeping the problem under the carpet is not the same as solving it - what you propose would certainly be applicable to those users who bother someone because of their attitudes towards certain things, but putting users who violate the rules of the forum on ignore is actually supporting them.

No Shilling : only use the incentivised posting section for "forum advertising" bounties > failure to follow this rule > negative karma
Do not put promotional text/img under your post content > use your signature instead >otherwise you will banned
Do not try to link to your site in every other post> use your signature instead >otherwise you will banned

Unfortunately, if these rules were followed, most of those I mentioned in this topic would have already been banned.
