I see. I will let the SBI project know.
It was probably better to let the SBI community know that someone is going to mass post content in the SBI tag.
Can confirm that these are NOT "Scam" accounts and they are legitimate. Made by one of the top people at a top USA university for his students to use in their doctorate classes.
A great use case for Hive. Might be worth making sure @trostparadox and you guys get in touch with each other
Please explain what you are talking about. My students did not spam a community tag. As far as I know, NONE of my students used an "SBI" tag.
And, since when did HiveWatchers assume the role of policing community tags. If a post is SPAM, then deal with it appropriately, but if it is simply a post that is unwelcome to a given community, let the community admins mute that post or that account.
No one had any idea to whom those posts and accounts belonged.
There was no information in these posts that they were part of any school assignment.
It is the first time that we have learned that you create something assignments like this.
I don't think that we have ever spoken before.
From an outside perspective... a bunch of new accounts are created within a very small time window, start posting on the same topic, using the same tags, with zero interaction with each other or the community. Said accounts immediately start receiving $2+ upvotes.
It quacks like a duck.
Incidentally, when I have taken online courses, we were required to interact with each other's work. This level of interaction (though still within the same group) would go a long way to making it look like legitimate usage and not AI-empowered reward farming.
How you handled this is very much appreciated (checking first). It builds a lot of credibility for Hivewatchers. Its a great way to practice caution. Many here appreciate this, not just me.
Maybe the accounts need a "check with @usernamexx" in the header, so that you know who to approach in case you suspect something strange... I appreciate that sign up systems dont have this capability, but its a potential solution and allows you to cut your work load down if people used it

Can they verify their accounts?

Thanks for confirming.
We already did.
It was probably better to inform the SBI community beforehand so it did not look like sudden spam.

This is ABSOLUTELY CRAZY that you've done this!

Since when is that a requirement?
Again, why should that be a requirement?
So what? Just because you are ill-informed should make no difference.
BTW, I have informed Hivers about this in the past, such as here and here.
About a dozen accounts suddenly showed up. No engagement. No introduction. Posting in one tag at the same time.
Typical pattern of abusive accounts.

Your posts were a few years ago.
We do not read the content on the blog unless there is a report/suspicion of abuse.
My apologies for not digging much deeper into these accounts. I only found a link by searching who created the accounts so I contacted "aliento".
I would appreciate it if you tag me in the future when such assignments show up so I know in advance.

I dug out who created the accounts ("aliento").
That's how I was able to contact someone.
Should have dug out more.
Although, the accounts should have it more obvious in their content what they do.
Suddenly many accounts show up. Post in one tag, No engagement. No introduction.
That's a typical pattern of abusive accounts.
tell me more?
