Despite bump changes in altcoin board, thread bumping still goes on. It is not as effective as it used to be, but it is nevertheless annoying, and what is even worse, it might fool less experienced users, especially since some ICO trackers (e.g. ICObench) even give rating based on ANN activity. I've been planning to make list like this for a last month or two, and I kept postponing it, but i guess it is better late than never.
In this topic i plan to keep all those announcement threads that are either using some external bumping services, or they are using their own sock puppet accounts in order to fake interest. List would be too big if I included all those that did that in the past (even recent one), so I will focus only on those that are doing it at the moment, and from now on.
Since we can't do much against those projects that are opting for this "marketing technique" other than reporting their posts, thread like this might help in that regard for all of us that keep reporting their fake conversations and shill posts, and to have all of them in one topic, constantly updated.
This list is far from complete and it will be constantly updated, so if you see that i missed some ANN, maybe some that doesn't deserve to be on this list or that is not active any more, please let me know and it will be updated ASAP.
