And these are just the Newbies, I can't easily check higher ranks. Most of them should be nuked, some try to make posts longer, like this one:

This is a great project. Will this be available for all manufacturers like small and medium scale manufacturers? Because it will be a great benefit to them!

These sorts of posts that tend to be what the paid bumping services make. Just enough to make it look like a genuine question and not just fake spam but still a mostly hollow question that's sole purpose is to keep the thread at the top. Check their other posts and if they're all the same or similar report them and they'll be looked into. Often patterns can be spotted like same email address and sign up dates etc.

Indeed, it looks like a bumping service spammer. If you click JonhSunny224's post, you'll see many more posts from Newbies with 14 Activity on the same page. All registered on May 10, some with more than 10 posts already.

I read this today:

In just 1 ETH (0.08 BTC) you will receive 20 pages (400 quality posts).

Thread bumping/spamming is starting to look like an industry, earning thousands of dollars per month! Bitcointalk should end this, maybe reject all Newbies and if needed Jr. Members too from those boards?
Or, as I suggested elsewhere: sell sticky spots for spam-free campaigns on those boards. If they're willing to pay 0.42BTC per month to be on top, let them pay it to the forum.
