After this thread - Policy on users like this guy? - and seeing pretty rapid action being taken against the user responsible as well as said user then ceasing this copy and paste shilling spam, I figured I would compile a list of other users who display the same behavior patterns for the mods to review and hopefully take action against. And honestly, I'm getting kinda bored of reporting the same names over and over again.

The users I will list below are users who either own or are being paid by a site or variety of sites to shill said sites. They largely post copy and pasted articles, add nothing of any value, and make zero effort to generate a discussion or actually contribute to the forum. Some also make low value, vaguely on-topic posts solely for the reason of shoehorning in a link to one of the sites. They are breaking rules regarding spam, low value posts, unsubstantial advertising, and advertising in other users' threads. I'm hoping that the moderators will hand out temporary bans to these users, and escalate this to perma-bans if their spamming doesn't stop.

Shills a variety of projects, including "tap.global", "eToro.com", "4king.com" and "vertex.market". Starts a lot of copy and paste threads in Bitcoin Discussion. Also makes lots of low value posts in other user's threads simply to include a link to one of the shilled projects.
