The Bots Have Found a New Way

I suspect that instead of commenting on mainly sales threads, these bots accounts are now making posts on Hire a Freelancer.
Short topics like "Content" "Backlinks" "Edu Link" "PBN Links".

I noticed that too.

And a few accounts from 2019 suddenly came out of their grave and commented 10 times in 30 minutes.

Hmmm what would be their goal with that?

Once one of the sellers got a batch of their accounts deleted they also brought out accounts from 2019 to reuse them.

All those new accounts will go to the database as well for later usage.

I've heard that the mods are implementing some system that should soon stop this. Until the pumps are effective they won't stop regardless of what they implement.

Shills to shill.

Yeah, it looks like the same spam network. We'll take care of it.

Thank you to everyone who has reported the accounts so far. Just a quick tip: don't directly state how you're finding these accounts. After all, we don't want to teach them how to cover their tracks.

Update: The hire a freelancer section has been cleaned up. The want to buy section was unaffected. Again, please just report them when you see them, even if they start changing tactics. It's fine to discuss with members in private, just don't make a public thread about it.
