However, when it comes to the user @Ricardo11, I noticed something else a few months ago, but besides the fact that I and some members were working on a private investigation, maybe now is the right time to make it public.
A few months ago I noticed a topic in the Speculation board that seemed unusual to me for two reasons - the first is that a beginner asks a question there, and the question has nothing to do with that board - and the second is that @Ricardo11 is the first to answer his question in a relatively short time and with a long post and for that he gets 7 merits from two users.
No concrete evidence has been found that these are alt accounts, but it is more than obvious that something stinks in the whole thing. The topic in question was moved to the B&H board - and @Ricardo11 did not comment on it after the first post. It is not the first time that such things have been detected, faking the discussion and prepared answers to the questions have already become common, especially for members of a large community on the forum.
Which is better, Self-Custody or Non-custodial? Please help me.I read that post by Ricardo11 and noted the timing between the OP of that thread (
TatsuyaJemi) creating it and the reply he posted. How many people would be confident to state there was nothing untoward about the situation? The
TatsuyaJemi account was created less than 12 minutes before the thread was created and 21 minutes later a comprehensive reply was given by Ricardo11. There is definitely something suspicious about both of them.
Everyone knows that in the WO topic, they often give out merits, and in the same way we see fishermen there for merit who appear there from time to time, unlike the regulars of this topic. And yes, Ricardo was so excited about the topic he created about Leo that the next step was a post in WO.
After all, WO is where he would hope for getting merits therefore he
would go there after his fake commemoration thread. He has only himself to blame for the negative light that is shining on him right now.
But Ricardo's servility really evokes disgusting feelings.
When it comes to something as simple as earning-from-posting, even those that joined the forum with good intentions could easily get change in order to get ahead and yes his conduct was disgusting. Then he doubled-down by claiming to have cried too. It really is cringe-worthy conduct by Ricardo11 at gutter-level standards.
I guess I won't need to post more screenshots to show the more than 100 "squashes" (i.e. red tags) he left for newbies. He gave merits to newbies who cared to learn, not to those who seem to want to take the shortcut to earn merits.
He clearly kept an eye on not-so-new newbies and seems to have left appropriate feedback on a regular basis for those that deserved it.
My opinion is that @Ricardo11 is part of an alt farm and that he uses dirty tricks on his way up - for which of course there is no concrete evidence for now, but for those who want to see, some things are quite clear.
Over time I learned and understood that by far most of the time, the initial suspicion is usually correct. I agree with the account farming comment, there are several things related to his account that point to it. The problem for them is that it takes time to build an account before it can get enrolled on to campaigns therefore they try to expedite the process and in doing so they make mistakes.
In most cases the puppeteer will always post proclaiming innocence even if just once but in other cases they will either vanish without fanfare or simply post for a few days with a flimsy defence then give up in order to concentrate on their other accounts.
