Clear signs they are shilling for a coin and threads to watch out for if you miss the buy-in humps.

>Threads saying 'I just made 100% on my investment in X coin. These will usually be smaller threads lower down the page but try to come across as genuine.
>Threads offering X BTC but also mentioning a coin. These are used to get the coins name to the top of the page (usually they involve a picture of the coin) so people will 'research' the coin by looking further down the page. Then they see the 'I made 100% profit' thread.
>Pure hype threads such as >>3987681

There are more methods they use but you can usually tell it is happening by the appearance of 3-4 threads on the same coin that are not usually present on the board within a short time of each other.

there are also smaller groups who operate in the same way and who are harder to spot but the giant P&D groups like we just saw in XLM you can't really miss.

PIC: the wall they put up to throttle the trades, they had these on 3 exchanges for XLM. It is a good time to cash out. There was also 1mil+ buys bellow this that you can't see. The wall jsut fences off the price so they can offload their bags and it also makes people think 'wow look at all those people who want to buy! I better buy quickly' Do not, this is their peak and they will sell and leave.
