He told everyone he was banned for three days, just to boost the credibility of his escrow alts.
That is not true actually. The personal text that was implying that I was banned was put up nearly two days prior to this thread being opened. The fake ban was an attempt to insulate me from what was effectively an unpopular opinion, and an attempt to get
these questions that were poised to tspacepilot answered after I had poised similar questions from my QS account.....questions, BTW which have still not be addressed.
The OP was created September 04, 2015, 08:10:14 PM, and I posted, implying that I was banned (despite having a personal text implying as much, for ~2 days), on September 05, 2015, 05:13:00 AM.
The only posts/quotes in this thread that discussed if it was right to use yourself as escrow that were made in the ~21 hours between when the OP was made and when I implied I was banned are:

Would I be shocked that quickseller escrowed for himself? No. I've seen other high ranked members do it.

It's fundamentally wrong for someone to escrow for themselves. At the very least they force the other trader to pay an escrow fee to themselves, which is dishonest. And they completely control the situation so the other trader could get scammed and wouldn't be able to do anything, someone with tons of rep like QS could destroy anyone's rep....

Additionally, the posts that were made prior to my specifically implying that I was banned were hardly supportive of tspacepilot's "experiment",
this proves nothing other than Panthers52 talks in similar way as Quickseller.
Yamato has a point right? All your analysis does is say their posts are written in a similar manner. Can you do some statistical test to show how likely that is just random chance? e.g. a t-test?
Additionally:
Since you already wrote this and have it working why are you against further experiments? Don't you just need to change the member link?
