This is getting out of hand now.

This was posted on my main BST by newly created accounts which is likely spam. Can there be some limit on newly created accounts before they are able to post on marketplace threads?

The problem would be when a non-registered user finds your thread, finds the service interesting, and wants to order; he will register using a new account. He cannot comment on the thread if he has any issues. I think that would be an issue.

Op is not comfortable being addressed as a meticulous person. Spammers now spam with humor.

Reporting them would serve you better than posting about it in the lounge.

I am reporting them as well but I have observed this recently that these new accounts have flooded the forum like anything.

Lol

@reaaski I assume this is Not_ you, right?

BHW has big spam problem last few weeks. I reported multiple accounts and they're still going. Its taking a big hit on sellers, pretty much every MP thread is ruined along side with Forum Homepage. Staff is aware of the issue though

Just look at this for example:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/members/tracyfindlay.1919196/#recent-contenthttps://www.blackhatworld.com/members/elmercook.1919620/#recent-content
And there's ~20 more identical accounts, just different PFP and username. Footprint is all the same

Are they posting in the marketplace to increase their post count?

2 out of the 3 posts you've mentioned there are asking you for discounts / showing intent to buy. They won't bump your thread (see change log), and they could result in sales. As mentioned above, we'll not block members from being able to engage with merchants, as what would then be the point of the Marketplace? Our algo will, however, reduce the impact of low-quality posts.
