People trolling with puppet accounts * 1
    #22148958 - 08/26/15 09:01 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Maybe I was just ignorant, maybe I was naiive, but I always thought most people here were honest about who they are and always had the best intentions. I made genuine connections with some of the people and always assumed those interactions were honest and real.

It has come to my attention things here are not always as they seem. People are taking advantage of anomonimity and pumping out multiple accounts at a time and posting as if they are different people. I honestly was not aware this was happening and am shocked to see how common it is.

On behalf of myself and the rest of the shroomery, I really hope this trend starts to come to and end because I don't like the direction this is going. Now I am often suspicious of people that have less then one hundred posts and jump into random discussions willy nilly like nothing is out of the ordinary.

What do you think of this new trend of people using multiple accounts? What is the purpose of this and what does it mean for our community?

How do you know multiple people are using multiple accounts? Maybe you are just Bassfreak's puppet... establishing yourself for the opportunity to arise... which is now..

The conspiracy thickens.

What I find intriguing is the concept that someone could make enough puppet accounts to actually gain majority opinion to cause major reform within the boards in some sort of diabolical plan.

Maybe you are just covering up for the fact that you and Bassfreak are actually the same person and you are pinning it on me.

That is an interesting thesis.  There is an analytic thingee that could determine that pretty well

Maybe there are a select few posters, who are really well known in the community that are actually paying people off and purchasing accounts with thousands and thousands of posts. Even people you think are your friends one moment could be someone entirely different the next day if the price is right. For all we know there could be a select few pulling the strings and using our trust with each other as a means of deception.

Not saying this is actually happening, but I have seen weirder things happen around here.

Which is exactly why I was saying maybe people are more inclined to not start from scratch, but buy someone off who has been here for a while. Everyone has a price.

Accounts under five thousand posts are easy to come buy and are probably moved from one person to another relatively quickly. However, the people with well known reputations and tens of thousands of posts, well their accounts are held to a higher standard.

I have no idea what the intricacies of this underground market are or if they even exist, but it is interesting to think about.

It definitely would take a.. unique... person to truly be interested in purchasing multiple accounts for a web forum when there isn't really much to be gained from it :rofl:

On reddit they have bots that post tweets from twitter and stuff.

It is entirely possible for someone to set up a bot that posts generic replies into multiple threads in order to jack up post count and gain the trust of other people. Once it reaches a satisfactory level, the account could either be used or sold for profit.

Here is another thought.

Maybe more people are getting banned because banning people creates demand for the puppet accounts. Again, this is entirely fictional, but suppose I was a mod and became corrupt. I could ban someone, offer them a new account in return with lots of posts, pocket the money and repeat the cycle again and again.

Again, this is not to be taken seriously but I am just spitballing ideas for fun. Don't get mad at me mods. :lol:
