BlackHatWorld is making me lose my mind.

Look at this thread:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/need-pbn-sidebar-links-with-obl-lower-than-50.1831919/

Half of them REPLIED without DMing me, even though it was one of the requirements.
Some of those who DMed me, didn't DM me with their prices and samples, but DMed me just to say what I wrote to NOT say.
More than half of those who DMed me with their prices and samples, said they had an OBL lower than 50, like I asked. But the links had WAY MORE than 50 OBLs.
And guess what? A lot of those agencies keep sharing the SAME LINKS.
Not only that, some agencies introduce themselves as "X Agency" with accounts called "Y Agency", even though the actual "X Agency" account also DMed me.

Do I really have to filter all this noise by myself? Isn't Staff here to do that? I think there should be stricter rules. A lot of agencies get banned everyday. When I first joined, I saw lots of agencies getting banned in a few weeks. I was like "how? why? are they actually all breaking the rules?" The answer is YES, they break the rules, make new accounts and do not learn. They never learn. Unfortunately, this situation made me filter link building agencies by Country too. I know some of you will attack me by saying ths is racist, but it's the ONLY filter that works without me having to manually check every sample list.

What the fuck is going on? This forum is starting to feel like having a conversation with a bunch of AIs. Actually, it has been like this for quite a while.

I bought Telegram Premium to automatically translate Russian SEO groups on Telegram, and I'm starting to learn Russian only to have real convos with real people that ACTUALLY work with SEO.
I expect the irony of having AI comments here too. Obviously.
 
I think they are just wanting to increase their post count I remember when I did a WTB thread and like 2-3 person keep adding a reply to my thread whenever I had made another new thread the same person would reply and when I DM'd them there would be no response lol.
 
Yeah, it's been like that for a while whenever anyone posts in WTB or HAF
It's totally ridiculous how the thread gets filled up to like page 3 in just a few minutes sometimes

For the service you're looking for, maybe @Ben Arthur might be a good place to look
 
There are many reasons for this, first it's to farm posts counts and get more views on their banners so people can find them via search/google according to the text they replied with, hoping others will see it and gain more clients. My guess is this works.
Secondly, they're just casting a really wide net, trying to shove their inventory to as many people as possible.

Some other thoughts came to mind last time I made a WTB thread - maybe they're getting limited from all the massive amounts of PM's theyre sending?

This post farming is also really annoying on my sales threads, but then i remember - hey they bumped my thread so i get more visibility! So the anger goes away. But still annoying that it's a farmer not an actual customer commenting.

Did you report them?
 
Some, not all. Can I report them if I asked for a specific OBL amount and they sent links with an higher OBL?
Also, if they share the same network / link list as another agency, or they sent a PM with two different accounts, can that be reported too?
 
If there's an SEO related threads in the HAF or WTB section, the replies come in within milliseconds. It's humanly impossible.

Post a WTB threads and refresh and there are 13 replies. Everything from the OP to the replies all have the same "A moment ago" timestamp.

Such obvious botting should be discouraged.

Edit - Example this thread

Look at the time of OP, now look at the time of all the replies on the first page.

Yes. If you have asked for a specific service and they've clearly ignored that then as far as we're concerned they're spamming or selling the wrong services, then we will act.

Staff are going to be discussing the state of HAF and WTB over the coming weeks.
 
Look at this thread: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/need-an-seo-god-goat-to-rank-my-website-number-1.1831333/

Tens of Vip members offering the impossible - to rank page 1 for a hyper competitive keyword for $500
They are not humans, just bots applying for whatever triggers their bot system based on keywords mentioned on the title

If mods took action, it would be a complete bloodbath, there are several Jr VIP farms around, hundreds of clowns using bots to apply for jobs that they can't even do, tons of shit

I'm reporting more than 10 posts/comments per day, but it would need to be hundreds of reports with so many bots speedrunning to reach 100 posts and upgrade + already upgraded bots offering services randomly or just trying to scam people
 
I'm beginning to think staff should make a honey pot HAF/WTB thread.

Where anyone who replies is immediately warned and their toes tickled to the most diabolical extent.

Like a post saying:

"Do not reply here or you'll be warned".

The bots then swarm in and mods have a choice of toes to tickle.
