Report Multiaccounts

[Freemind]

I deleted posts from newly created accounts and also locked the thread. I have also warned the OP not to continue posting threads like that, I think he should already know how the forum works. If @Cazkys does the same thing again, the account will be temporarily blocked.

Thanks for the warning @examplens.

Great job buddy, those guys often shit their announcement thread with alt accounts to get some attention but they don't understand that newbie accounts aren't trusted by anyone and even if the continue shilling the thread it won't give them desired results.

It's probably an old technique to use the SEO power of the host (forum in this case) as a result when someone searches for a certain service and gets a lot of positive feedback. It can be difficult for someone from the outside to distinguish fake from real comments because they probably don't understand the hierarchy of the forum.

I this is not just SEO. It will also create fake reviews , giving a false authority to the service which isn't well established yet.

A good company could hire a campaign manager to properly handle the community

thanks for your reaction.

Freemind, if you have time, look at this case from earlier.

A similar thing, as far as I can see, they have stopped shilling. If nothing, move it to the proper board or delete spam posts.

Maybe it doesn't matter because some time has already passed, but in the future, if spammers know how such spam is treated here, they will probably give up this kind of practice over time.

Campaign manager is 1 route to go, but the company could also do a review campaign. A manager can help with that as well, but isn't always needed. Companies can research and do this on their own if they have a little sense.

I like reviews campaigns. I have participated in many of them, and sometimes I continue to use the service afterwards

Projects only pays for positive reviews, which is why they rarely assign this work to a reputable campaign manager who will pay for honest ratings (poor or good). I've been offered services like this twice this year from two dubious India-based casinos (which I won't name) to get 100 Indians to leave positive reviews on Google Rate and Trustpilot for $8 each. With instructions to only pay for 5 star reviews. I had to turn it down.

I can easily convince hundreds of Indians to fool millions of Indians, but for what purpose?

Accounts participating in self -shilling should be banned and burn down to the ground.

The posts have been deleted and the thread has been locked.

If any user finds threads like this again, the appropriate subforum to submit the report is this: Decentralized Team.

Thank you all for your help.

Yes, I believe a review campaign could be very helpful for a platform. With a review campaign a platform gets good attention and people know better about it when they read those reviews.

One more thing.
Given that this case can be considered solved, is it best to lock such threads or leave them open for further discussion or possibly if the member who was the subject of this investigation would like some further clarifications?

I have made dozens of reviews in bitcointalk. They always paid me correctly, and there wasn't an "positive review' obligation.

I think most services even like when you govee constructive feedback, as they can improve.

Reputable  projects on Bitcointalk always try to play within the rules , I've written reviews for couple of projects and got paid wether good or bad but there are desperate projects out there only seeking for positive review and that's always a red flag for me.

Utopia project on BTT did something similar recently - paid bunch of members $6 to leave a positive review on their app on Google store to mislead potential honest customers.

I have locked the threads, although I can open them if any user is interested. Anyway, I've edited my posts to let the OP know that I can reopen them in case he's in charge of providing support and updates. If the OP wants to open the thread, he'll just have to send me a private message and I'll open the thread as quickly as I can.

EDIT: If the OP of this thread, @Cazkys, wants to reopen the thread, he can send me a PM and I will open it as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the suggestion @examplens.

It's okay if the project financially stimulates people to test the product and write a short summary. That's ok as long as they do it with different independent users. They can always refuse to pay for an obviously fake review.

It is something completely different when one person sits down and creates several new accounts and has a discussion with himself, creating the appearance of greater activity and interest in a project/product.

maybe we can add to group, so every post will moderate but the problem is they will make another account

That wouldn't help much, as you already know new accounts would be created to continue with their nonsense, unfortunately, they don't realize how useless it is because their posts will be deleted. What is more effective is to lock the thread and give the OP a chance to reopen it after a simple PM, although it is something that never happens, since the OP doesn't care about the thread at all. In any case, if that user does the same thing again, they will have one last step to have their account blocked.
