China is Finally Going After Click Farms and Fake Online Sales (bloomberg.com)
China enacted sweeping changes to a business competition law to address fraud in the e-commerce industry, which is plagued by malfeasance ranging from fake positive reviews to merchants goosing sales numbers. From a report: The National People's Congress adopted revisions Saturday to the Anti-Unfair Competition Law intended to address online retailers, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. The changes take effect Jan. 1 but were announced days before Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s Nov. 11 Singles' Day bargain extravaganza, which dwarfs Black Friday in the U.S. in terms of revenue. The Chinese law initially took effect in 1993 as a way to protect consumers and businesses from unfair market practices. At that time, none of China's biggest online companies -- including Alibaba, Tencent Holdings Ltd., Baidu Inc. and JD.com Inc. -- even existed. As e-commerce developed and prospered, attendant problems grew with it. These latest revisions stipulate that operators shouldn't deceive consumers by faking sales or employing "click farms" to rack up positive product reviews -- increasingly common practices that have drawn the ire of buyers. And the rules encompass the entire breadth of internet commerce, from online goods and movie ticketing to food delivery.
To get paid to artificially increase negative consumer confidence and vapor revenue
I mean besides improving human rights, but in general China with new Environmental Laws, and fair advertising laws. It appears they are taking full advantage of America's new isolation and separation from the world market. To really get a head start on changes to the world and economy, while America as its largest competition puts its head in the sand, and pushes for the quick buck at the expense of long term advantages. By the time enough Americans realize how far behind we get, we may be too far behind to catch up to the world market.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
Admittedly, it looks good. But don't forget that with China it is mostly not the laws themselves that are bad. It is the way they are selectively applied that is the problem.
Please go away Creimer. Nobody likes you. Stop wasting my tax dollars screwing off on Slashdot.
Clickfarming is a business with minimal economic value and it leaves you praying with your fingers crossed with each Ali Express purchase. Given Alibaba's potential this makes total sense.
"Single's Day dwarfs Black Friday in revenue" is about as relevant to the average US reader as it is to the average US business.
We all wish you were a coal miner instead. The black lung is real chris.
Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!
Creimy is posting more than 2 posts a day. Hurry! mod down otherwise /. will go to hell again!
Note: you can mod down even if already at -1 to lower karma and to prevent lost /. users to accidentally mod up.
C.D. Reimer is a renowned Slashdot collaborator, as he puts it himself; "Because of the quality of my posts and my article submissions, I'm a highly rated commentator and moderator."
But does anybody ever wondered what "C.D." stands for? Well, it stands for Creimy Dumpty of course!
Creimy Dumpty sat on the wall,
Creimy Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put Creimy Dumpty
Together again.
Creimy's siblings video and theme song, very realistic, especially the pants, just like Creimy's:

With "Vice President Pence Vowing US Astronauts Will Return To the Moon", we are sure they will need miracle workers up there, here is what it would look like. Note that Creimy takes care of bringing a lot of food to the moon as depicted below:

Creimy's "enterprise-level" chair, he talks about it all the time on slashdot:

Creimy's head, while his supervisor was talking to him, not with him, since it is impossible to do with Creimy:

Creimy acting in educational resource document, he actually confirmed himself on Slashdot that he was handled by Special Education for the Santa Clara County Office of Education! He is really a king Dumpty!:

Well, all day long at school I hear how great China is at this or how wonderful China did that! China, China, China!
Chris' case is getting worse, he spends all day replying to himself as AC on /.
The tests we ran on Chris have shown that Chris has the intelligence of an ameba:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
So, technically, he is able to conceive some kind of agenda but it will be silly or impossible to follow on a human scale.
For example, Chris had an agenda to post anything he felt like on Slashdot which did not work well because it was based on his false beliefs that he had an infinite number of karma points as he wrote here several times.
Several people here explained to Chris that karma maxed out at some level like 50 or so but Chris kept on insisting that his python script had confirmed that he had millions of karma points!
Oh well, as I wrote before: "It isn't Chris' fault if he is the way he is. We do the best we can do with him and he is partially integrated into society. We try to cure his abnormal need for attention but he is kind of stubborn and won't listen to anybody."
For the valuable /. users that might already have read the following, please note that there is an important update.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Special Education for the Santa Clara County Office of Education has invested money to buy Chris a new chair:

Information about Christopher Dale Reimer and autistic people:
Autistic people have obsessions about things normal people don't care. For example, one of our autistic patient went haywire when he realized that there was a penny missing in his pocket change.
To calm him down, one of our educator pretended to have found it on the floor and gave a penny to him.
The autistic patient condition went even worse because he realized it wasn't the same penny!
Chris has an obsession with budgeting every penny. He doesn't understand that most people do not budget to the penny and have a flexible amount they allow for miscellaneous items.
I am Nancy Guerrero and I am Director of Special Education for the Santa Clara County Office of Education. We use Chris' (a.k.a. creimer,cdreimer) picture in our document because he is the hardest case we have ever had to handle:
http://www.sccoe.org/depts/stu...
Our artists were inspired by the low carb diet that Christopher follows scrupulously for the small lunch box and by the picture linked below for the rest. I am sure that you will notice the similarities such as the bump on the side of his chest and more:
https://ibb.co/gVad65
Please be easy on Christopher although, I am aware that some of our staff handling Chris post joke comments here and obvoiusly, the Santa Clara County Office of Education disapprove that behavior vehemently:
https://school.discoveryeducat...
But it isn't Chris' fault if he is the way he is. We do the best we can do with him and he is partially integrated into society. We try to cure his abnormal need for attention but he is kind of stubborn and won't listen to anybody.
Thank You dear users,

CREIMIER SAID:
All you need to do is find a website with a permissive TOS, say, Slashdot, create a Python script to scrape your own comments, sprinkle Amazon affiliate links in various posts, and then re-post past links whenever possible. Won't be long before you start making "coffee money" each month.
https://slashdot.org/comments....
Shitposting, Amazon affiliate spam, being fat, and being a general nuisance.
CREIMER SAID:
Only on Slashdot.

So why hasn't managed to ban this intentionally disruptive user? According to him his "trolls" can't help themselves.. he is the one in control willingly and maliciously creating disruptions. Reasons that slashdot has stated they will ban accounts at their discretion.
Why isn't creimer banned? He degrades the slashdot experience for everyone and attempts to monetize these efforts. This is effectively stealing from Dice.
Just the other day creimer attempted to dox a user by posting her name and ip address. How many chances should he be given?
Christopher, my love,
Never mind those "hump leg" trolls.
I am deeply sorry. I didn't feel well earlier today but I am better now since I had my meds adjusted. I am sorry that I called you all sorts of names and I feel truly ashamed of myself.
The python click script you wrote for me my sweet love for my pheromone revenue stream web site suddenly stopped to work.
Could you come visit me in my studio so we could look at it?
Signed:
Your sweetee who will love you for ever.
P.S. when I posted there was a funny form that asked me to retype the word "biceps" in a text field. That's funny and I went to look at your new picture again and got turned on. Please contact me ASAP.
Just like here: the party in power investigates the party not in power and ignores their own transgressions.
Table-ized A.I.
So, just like the USA then?
So were we.
China need to stop copying IP and forcing ownership on oversea corps.
Hey I'm not creimer. If you were such a creimer expert you'd know that creimer gets up at 4am and has 300 grams of egg whites and 30ml of orange juice after a 28.6 minute shower and wank session to vintage fullbush 80s centerfold porn using brand name jergins sensitive skin lotion which is on sale at amazon with this link www.amyzone.com/reimer?refer=cdreimer/jergins-wank-deluxe/ then i hope on the 6am 987 bus before going to a three letter agency that I hav^H^H^H^H he contracts through and talk with the other old unemployables about underage child sex tourism.
I REPET I AM NOT CREIMER! but don't let an inconvoyant fat get in the way of your stupid hed.
I find it easier to check around bus stops and parking lots for discarded lottery scratchers to enter into the second chance drawing website. Never won anything online over the last eight years, but I did find an unused scratcher stuck to another scratcher that was a $20 winner. After the Great Recession, I found and entered 500+ scratchers over a two year period (2009-10). These days I'm lucky to find a half-dozen or so scratchers each month.

When I was growing up in the 1970's, I was declared "mentally retarded" and tossed into the special ed classes. Never mind that I could blow out their tests in ways that normal students couldn't touch, wanted to learn more than what the teachers weren't teaching, and had way fewer behavioral problems than the other kids. Troubled kids back then were treated like idiots rather than medicated to no return.

That's funny! After 18 years in the I.T. field (including ten years of contract work), I'm sitting on my butt, getting paid $25/hour and reading Slashdot at work as a senior system admin. I must have done something right.
