Title: Whats with the bitcoin spam??
Post by: DarkNadge on February 01, 2013, 12:53 pm
Is this bitcoin spamming starting to really annoy anyone else?? What are the spanners planning to achieve? Maybe SR forums could stop people posting with the same or similar titles within a short space of time!

Its just annoying having to look threw the spam to find the actual threads!!!

At least it's easily identified this way though... 

I'd hate it if the spambots went all cragislist style. i.e. trying to pass off as legit posts.  That would really be a mess.

Yeah, tons of spam threads with the same titles. I don't know why the sellers would do that and risk getting their accounts banned. They probably wouldn't do it if it was a risk to their actual sellers account being banned.

Sure it's annoying and if I remember well, I saw on some legit clearnet forum virwex is a scam.

I am pretty sure that is what lead to the moderators making everyone get to 50 post before being able to make post in other forums..

I feel like I have to say this every day multiple times: I am here 18+ hours a day deleting spam.  When I go to sleep for 6 hours, the spam builds up.  When I sign back on, I take care of it as quickly as I can.

I'm sure samesamebutdifferent has had the same experience.

So, a little patience, please!
