who are "they?"
why did they take a break?
does it make you wonder who they are and how they coordinated it at the same time? ("im on vacation they say")
consider the odds of TWENTY+ "different" people taking a break at the SAME time here...: all i can say is: hehe
is it interesting 50% of these people were DT farmers? (2017+ users tht ass licked)

winkidity winkidity winkidity ;)

edit: changed from bold text to normal, jetcash's suggestion made sense

Can I give you a tip?

I didn't bother to read your post, because it was emboldened and enlarged. If you want busy people to read your message, then clear prose in standard text is the most effective. Keep it short and punchy as well, you can always elaborate if you generate some interest.

Looks like you are trying to hit a group of people here. I've noticed one account in particular that has not been active lately. Perhaps you could move this to reputation?

What are you people talking about?? It's the vacation season here in Europe, and most of the people go on vacation from 1st of July. Since 1st is Monday the actual vacation stars today :)

This needs to be tackle on Reputation board if OP wanted to discuss this personas that he addressed that "took a break."

Who might they be OP? ::)

Are you insinuating that folks with gaps in their posting history who claim to have taken a break are farmed accounts?  You have a pretty big gap in your posting history, from March 2016 to April 2019 you only made three posts.  Not a single post in all of 2018...  Are you an account farmer resurrecting one of your farmed accounts?

I don't know if you have trouble articulating your thoughts in English, or you are trying to be internationally vague and mysterious.  If it's your English, please try to explain yourself again.  If you think this is mysterious and amusing, you are quite wrong. 

I think his post seems clear. He is saying that 20 accounts ALL took the SAME break.  I am waiting to see who these accounts are. So we can look for OTHER connecting factors. Let's not start to form opinions before the data is presented.

Normally you from a opinion based on the data you have, so if more data is laid out soon the opinion can change but for now, with the data we have we have already formed one.
Wondering why one would open a thread like this and leave the others like shooting in the dark.

I would not take that too seriously, first of all , it's holidays now in most parts of the world as another member mentioned.

also looking at it from an account farmer perspective, if one has 2 accounts and know that people might suspect him, he would simply use his phone and post anything from a single account while on vacation, I mean he would do what it takes not to attract suspicion, but the fact that non of them is willing to interrupt their vacation should be a good sign that non of the accounts OP talks about are account farmers, or at least not based on your/his theory.

Posting gap aren't a sign of farmed accounts. Not everyone here is for sig camp, some visits the forum for some other purpose as well as (for ex. learning, doing business etc.)
However, there's some people take break making excuse of "vacation" when they are out of signature campaign. That proves that those are farmed account.
I have seen 4-5 people on DT as well. DTs now are less weighed after the new trust system, for that reason I'm not bringing them in front.
Farming account, can be defined as multi account, is allowed in the forum. So, let them do whatever they are doing unless they are trying to lurk into same sig camp.

I take plenty of breaks here as I have a fucking life unlike TAA and co

I am not getting point why someone need excuse like vacation for take a break from forum? Although I am on vacation to my home country from abroad but I am bit active here. Also not getting what is the relation between vacation and called DT farmers. Anyone free to take break from forum for any reason. There is no any rules from forum side.

These are just assumption from OP point of view and since they don't have backing there isn't anything worth taking seriously.  From his post history, this thread of his might be as a result of his earlier post about blacklisted yobit spammers not getting accepting into current campaign therefore they're no longer actively posting on the forum so he thinks they're all alts (nothing new there).

Also if I understood the other side of this thread correctly he's trying to say those dormant accounts were used to vote DT members into power. If my interpretation of his thread is correct then he need some lecturing on how voting into DT system works.

Exactly. Who are "they"?

If 20 accounts all stopped posting between certain dates AND there were other clear connecting factors (merit cycling, dt includes, excludes, threads where they are together adopting the same argument etc) then that would be a STRONG case of alts although of course it could never be PROOF.

If you are talking to the gang/mafia here well they should be,cause the mastermind was cast out from the DT1 list.Those dogs you are talking about are morelikely alts of them.

Sure, it might be evidence of something but not exactly proof.  But then there's this:

If this question isn't answered in detail, I think we can all assume OP went off the deep end about something and is just posting nonsense.  Not sure if he'll come back to clarify, but I'd be interested in hearing what he has to say.

Curious to know which 20 accounts you are talking about.

But in my guess if there are 20 DT accounts handled by the same person then theymos would eventually knew it and will completely blacklist them.

Hate is good. It is a strong motivator.

Valid reasons? I think you will struggle to present ANY valid reasons that are not motivated by their desire to prevent TRANSPARENT FAIR RULES THAT ARE APPLIED EQUALLY TO ALL MEMBERS.

those are valid only to scumbags and their supporters.

However of course as you say that is a point and a very strong point. It is IMPOSSIBLE to prove 100%, but 20 accounts is a powerful indicator if there are enough connections alongside the dates of absence. Enough cause perhaps for theymos to unravel the merit abuse and black list from DT.

Anyway - all speculation at this point. The observable instances are those which will count.

A not known OP suddenly became interested in some in forum politics is suspicious enough to say that his reason of just creating this thread is to stir another drama inside the forum. I don't know if he misses the action or he just doesn't want the forum to have some kind of peace from time to time. I just hope that members involved won't mind and don't get triggered to engage in a convo with this thread.

You are not allowed to have a life. If you are going to take some days off post it in Important Announcements (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=87.0), of course, if you are not very important person you won't be able to do it, so send PM to thermos to post your very important announcement in important announcements and then you are allowed take a break  :)

20 people took a break and 50% "were DT farmers". Isn't that 10 accounts then?

I also want to know this.

If there are other connections, even coincidental, having matching posting gaps would probably mean they all belonged to the same person at one point.

I assume this is directed at me for my absence (whilst moving house) and Lauda not posting much around here after the flag system and the lovers tiff with Theymos. I was accused of being an alt of Zepher (rip) before, but being told I’m an alt of the miserable cat is just fucking insulting, I am TMAN the one and only and I have 0 interest or time to run multiple accounts, plus about 20 people have met me off this forum who will vouch for me before anyone else goes any further with this horse shit

Is this "they" the same "they" as the "they" I asked you to identify before, or is this another "they"?

Sorry, I must have missed that post.

In the context of the post of mine you quoted, "they" is the person or people who leaked the PM from theymos to lauda.

Dear OP,

I'd like to request the following vacation days:

July 1
July 2
July 3
July 4
July 5

Please let me know if that would be ok.

Even you snitchmoon are not this retarded. Well actually....

Now we see all these scum bags here ALREADY trying to discredit and misrepresent what the OP has said ... we are getting the popcorn ready.

Look chunky trunks he is claiming 20 + took the "vacation" at the SAME TIME. So we need to wait for the reveal before you can start with your usual totally unfunny moronic japes.

Tman says he met 20 people from the forum in RL

You were not on vacation with them were you by any chance tman?

I did think it was getting a bit too quiet around here recently. Good thing some long dead account which recently woke up was here to save the day with some completely manufactured drama. Can't wait to see the list of 20+ accounts which all took a break at the same time, which I'm absolutely sure OP will provide forthwith. ::)

Perhaps we could all agree to just ignore such nonsense bait in the future? If anyone has actual evidence of something which warrants discussion, by all means, but topics like this are just childish.

Yeah... no. Thanks to this stupid thread we learned that TMAN's moving so that's a very positive event.

Best of luck with your new pile of bricks, TMAN. I'd come over with some home-baked cookies if not for the massive puddle between our shanty towns.

I really can’t believe your level of retard, like serious can you even wipe your own arse? You have no ide who I am, what I collect or who I socialise with. So I’ll educate your window licking sub human IQ brain.

Bitcoin collectibles is a subsection on this forum, I have been collecting since 2014, I have purchased items from probably 30 different sellers, I frequent coin collecting meet-ups as it’s a laugh and I enjoy purchasing these collectibles. There is one this month and guess what cuntsmouth I got an invitation and you didn’t.

Now jog on back to your little pajeet house and stick your tinfoil hat back on and think of another way to spout your used tampon moaning diatribe

I find it hard to believe that only 20 out of more than 500 DT-members (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139250.msg51648462#msg51648462) are currently on vacation!

I rotate the vacation entitlements of my alts, there's no point in them all being away at the same time.  8)

Seems like you are the only one who hasnt realized that crypto is global, is nonstop, it is always morning somewhere in the world where people want to buy and sell digital money. There is no vacation from crypto. Now manipulation by big whales to move coin prices... Well you might be on to something with that!!!

You can't possibly think that anyone on planet is earth is capable of maintaining 20 accounts specially if they involve high ranks / dt / merit sources. not saying that your argument is completely invalid, however if I had more than one account I would most certainly ensure that they don't go into No-Posting mode at the same time, i mean this is what everyone would do , don't you agree?

there are other factors that might be stronger  , but just because a few accounts stopped posting on the same day, it really does not mean that much on it's own.
