Fake profiles boosting Sales Threads?

[Poon]

Hi, I spent quite a long time today trying to find a good SMM panel (2-3 hours) and the panel with the most Thumbs Up + Pages of "Reviews" is this one: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/s...legram-tik-tok.1328681/page-206#post-16518188

However after some research, every single Newbie post that asks for "test fund" is like 95% bots that post only once, I could post like 100 of these profiles here on that thread that all have 1 post only, joined the moment they posted, and has never been seen again since dating back months and I'm sure these are boosting the likes on the post...

There are many people who have asked for free trial me included, and the thread is basically pretending to give out free trials while the real people seem to be ignored in the BST.

Their services MAY be legit, but I see some mixed reviews from the real profiles.

My question is: Is this allowed? I mean even if their service is legit it's technically not fake reviews but it's completely boosting the page count, the likes on the thread, and keeping them in the #1 spot. These are metrics I'm sure most people use to see whether or not a service is legit when finding the correct provider. I think everybody needs to do their research when purchasing a service, however I don't think everybody needs to be a detective either.

Well, it looks like a shady strategies sellers use to boost their thread.

Could be just people that want to abuse the trial fund system.

Every once in a while, a thread like this comes up (usually in the feedback section). When you spot this type of activity, the best thing you can do is to report the thread and add all the information so a mod can take a look without sharing your findings publically.

These threads were reported and discussed publicly multiple times. There's always not enough evidence to ban them.
So, answering your question: yes it is

These threads were reported and discussed publicly multiple times.

Is the fact that something happened multiple times a good reason to keep doing it?

 

[zarrakdesigner]

are there many other Sales threads with the Same fake bumps

 

[roydan]

So you recommend to let them be and stop reporting? OP clearly haven't seen any of these threads so he didn't know.
But we know that mods won't do shit. Publicly or privately. But publicly other members will now know that mods know that we know

Obviously, you should still report these. I just meant that posting these thread publicaly does little to no good.
You say that mods do nothing about it and they require proof before they act. Have you considered that if they will start closing BSTs without sufficient proof, sellers can easily shut their competitors' BSTs?

Reports are addressed, but the fact that you can't see or don't agree with the action taken don't mean that mods "won't do shit".

The BHW team work exceptionally hard to manage the marketplace, we’ve shut down many thread bumping rings and where we can prove it accounts of the service owner are banned. Many strong points are raised above that reflect our policy. As it stands there is nothing wrong with people asking for trials if the OP is offering them. Coming soon we will have a feature which will make it easier to find relevant posts and make it unnecessary for people to post requesting review services. But that’s all in the future. For now please hit the report button where you see breaches in the rules.
