[Investigation][BAN EVASION] 1 thread ~70 Newbies, 5 banned = all alts ??

[Timelord2067]

TL;DR

The thread How do you handle stress? - Archive [1a] [1b] caught my eye the other day when three newbies with the same activity/post count/creation date posted one after the other following my own post.

I've examined the ~70 newbies UID's who have posted in that thread and can see a distinct pattern of creation date, last active date as well as numbers of posts and UID's whose "wake up" or "banned" dates correspond with the other dates of the newer created newbies.

It appears to me that the OP and all newbies who have contributed to that thread are a part of the one farm of alts - for want of a better name, they are the "handle stress" farm alts.  The farmer is posting only a few times via each UID then allowing the accounts to hibernate building up as you can see four or five posts, then fourteen or fifteen posts and so on...

There are five banned UID's so, if you can accept that these newbies are alts, then the farmer and their crop are guilty of ban evasion.


If anyone would like to expand on this investigation with constructive comments, they are welcome to do so here.

Too difficult to understand, maybe you should put in some efforts on your table settings. I don't know what I am reading.

[lovesmayfamilis]

I agree with igehhh. Your post is a little unreadable. But upon a cursory examination, it is immediately clear that yes, these are alternative accounts, with one registration date. Probably, someone started growing their farm for bumping, or bounty again. But if you organize your post, and put everything on a table, all the matches will be visible. And thus, all accounts will be tagged.
I can suggest a  good BBCode Table Generator https://www.teamopolis.com/tools/bbcode-table-generator.aspx

[Timelord2067]

Thanks you to both of you for your feedback especially confirming my suspicion that some or all of these UID's would appear to be alts.

I don't have any tables on the page (as yet), however, if you can suggest what you would like to see to clarify what I have presented, then I am happy to have a go formulating a table for you (and thanks for the link - it'll come in handy).
