Who own bpip.org?

[Little Mouse]

I am not talking about the website   I know Vod own this website for a long time now. But I just have seen an account bpip.org, who own the account. This account is active in altcoin section and that's what surprise me most.

I doubt Vod is the one. If not, will it be good idea to tag the account? Because people may not know and I may forget in future too.

A neutral tag indicating the account having no affiliation with the real bpip.org would be an wise idea. On other side it's noting of an high risk though.

I built the website, but it's owned by the BPIP Team.

That account bpip.org is not affiliated with me, so I will tag it.

[ChuckBuck]

I wonder what is the purpose of creating that account? Most people participating in altcoins are not interested in BPIP and the ratings are there. Altcoins are primarily for spammers and bounty hunters, of course they only care about bonuses, not relevant ranking information. I also don't see any benefits around that name, abuse, fraud, .. not possible

Never in the history of this forum have impersonators received neutral ratings for trying to defraud somebody else.

I think this account is an impersonator. Since vod already tag so I think its reasonable. Because may be some users would think that Bpip.org is official account of website and they might get scam since there is opportunity to advertise on the website and could ask for donations as well. I don't know what would be exact reason except abuse to use a username of a website which is most popular on the forum and that website owner is an established user.

By looking at his post history I don't think he attempted to scam anyone or defraud. But I could understand your negative viewing of every situation due to your inner negativity. Quite an characteristic of evil.

Considering the angle of the scammers, he only has a few posts, it will be difficult for many people to trust him. By being more active, he will build his activity history, because no one wants to trust new accounts. It may be a workaround if using the name of BPIP, but I don't know what BPIP's name will do to cheat or scam   Advertise on BPIP?

It's better to give him negative trust for impersonating someone now, than when he ranked up his account. User "bpip.org" has nothing to lose now and can just create another account if he wants to become a productive forum member.

Why did you choose that name? The only logical explanation I can think of is that you were name squatting and hoping to sell the account to operators of the website in the future. Seems like impersonation when you started posting from it though. That crosses the line in my opinion. You should have just sat on the name and waited to be contacted, which would’ve kept you at least in the realm of a grey area.

Right, if I create an account called Lauda2 we should leave me neutral until I actually scam somebody? Good policy. Very intelligent. Monkeys rule.

That is it. We should never allow anyone do to this, regardless of their "pure intentions" bullshit.

"bpip.org" is not a name someone has chosen at random. He is obviously well aware of what the site is and what it does, as well as its good reputation around the forum. What reason, then, would he have to impersonate it? He wants to leech off the good reputation that the site has built, or wants people to think he is somehow affiliated or linked with the site. Either way, it's untrustworthy, regardless of whether or not he has tried to leverage it yet.

There are plenty of accounts which have been preemptively left red tags by theymos or members of the moderator team for impersonating other members or sites. This is nothing new.

OgNasty already asked the most serious question here.

Why did you choose that name?

I would suggest you dumping this account and going with some other more attractive username as there are many.

[suchmoon]

Thanks everyone for taking care of the impersonator. Not a huge risk but it'd be quite bad to have this dingleberry start asking for donations or something.

Vod own this website for a long time now

Vod created and owned and developed the site until ~ December 2019. Since then ibminer and myself took over. Just making it clear so that y'all don't blame Vod for any bugs... those are 100% our responsibility now

I don't give negative very easily not positive too. But here I also felt that negative is appropriate. You may not know but using the brand image of a well-known name would be very easy for someone else to do some wrong doing.

Good job OP for spotting it.

[JollyGood]

Impersonators deserve negative feedback. It is hard to see any other option unless there are exceptional circumstances. I see nothing exceptional here that could justify anything else therefore I have left negative tag too.

Ya, this guy is definitely not affiliated with bpip.org and is obviously up to something. Thanks for pointing this out, Little Mouse.

For full disclosure, I began working with Vod as a designer starting around April of 2018. A lot of work was put in from Vod to create and develop BPIP from the beginning, which I think began sometime in 2016? (Vod can correct me if I'm wrong here!). A lot of work has been put in by all, including suchmoon and myself.. which, for me, has made it a fun project to work on, as it has become a team effort and has consistently been improved upon.. not to mention the community support & suggestions/bug reports, which keeps our to-do lists active and opens up additional room for improvements, on top of the planned improvements already slated!

But it seems you are an impersonator with the name you have chosen while creating this account.

DO you have any reasons why you choose this name?

If it was just random then you can ask for name change to theymos then you can get rid of this red tag rain.

[teeGUMES]

actually he is part of our team in the future, you all should know and not cover your own face.
don't corner him, even some of you have been part of us before.

Thats great you're a team and all but please answer what benefit to the community you are providing by sitting on names of companies/websites/providers that are not part of your team?
