Several Accounts Misspelling Manchester City Footballer "Kelvin De Bruyne"

[TalkStar]

I also received a PM from CryptocurencyKing. And this is probably not his last message. Although, sending unsolicited PMs is also considered a violation. CryptocurencyKing, track your answers to your alternate account question. You have confidently denied your affiliation. Then you said that you gave your wallet to a friend. You now acknowledge that this is your account, after all. But in this case, you violated the bounty conditions and participated with two accounts. I gave examples above. JollyGood left you a tag for lying. Is this unfair? You answered confidently enough that you were an honest person, but the facts show otherwise. Can I continue to believe you? You just have to negotiate with the one who left you the tags. Although I've rarely seen JollyGood change his mind. But there was one recent case, yes.

You are right and I have to add credit where credit is due...

If there is significant change in any account over a period of time all members could and probably should revise their feedback as long as members are contributing positively to the forum. Posting one thing in the public threads and another thing in PMs really does not help. I will be happy to revisit this in future and I have on several occasions tagged in error then apologised and corrected myself, I have also tagged red and revised to neutral in the past too.

Sorry for being unable to post here sooner but I have many time constraints right now.

Near 1 year later I think we all need to know about one ALT account holder among above users. This is why I am giving updates here.

JollyGood, Your thinking of revising feedback was okay with your own judgement but I don't know how many messages you already got from this user: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2701506

I got continious DM on my Telegram from this guy and every time he requested to lift the negative feedback from his account. Even he sent multiple messages to my forum account. I don't know who advised him to lift the negative feedback in such aggressive manner. I believe his intention of getting mercy is not genuine and I am not gonna remove my tag from this user. Trust always gain through honest work and contribution, Never through drama or forcefully.

In light of a post in a different that recently mentioned the way a particular word was misspelt by a few accounts, I am linking the post here:

Changed language in history. Bought? Hacked?

Whooop!  That was a damn good catch by FatFork--and when I opened this thread I thought it was a new one with an accusation that I'd heard before.  But nope, it was the same one and was also a very good catch.  If you're really looking to catch alt accounts for whatever reason, it's these little quirks of writing that give them away sometimes.

And now when I think of AI-generated posts and such, I wonder if all that's going to change (or if it's already started).  Frightening prospect, no?

Yes FatFork linked the "idea" with "ideal" and it seems to broadly correlate to some of the names already being mentioned as linked to the martyns farmed account. That was a good catch by him

There have been some posts already reported by members that seem to have some sort of AI involved and they have been discussed. It is definitely a frightening prospect as we approach a new frontier in technology, things are only going to get more complicated not only in the forum but of course in every day life as the technology is implemented in our regular day to day lives.

While I do not know how to feel exactly on using this kind of evidence to connect accounts, I cannot argue about how it was been effectively used in the past to catch certain person.

Still, I assume that when anyone does this kind of thing they also apply some personal filters at their own discretion, for example, if I also committed such typo in a regular basis, I would probably appear among the alleged alt accounts as well, however it would be up to the OP to consider other things, like the fact I participate in the Spanish board and other patterns.

Anyways, interesting to see people's attention to detail while investigating accounts.

OH! MY! GOD!  On a forum that's used by hundreds of thousands of people a day, three accounts misspelled a word similarly?!?!?

We need to discuss this in at least two threads, maybe three!

Yes that drama surrounding that particular banned member and his known alt-accounts as well as the backing he was given by various members (and a campaign manager) was an eye opener. For example, that banned member used an alt-account posting about other forum members that had alt-accounts therefore was a hypocrite and that was just one issue related to him.

I believe he had other alt-accounts that were not caught out by members. but if it were not for the vigilance of several members (as you pointed out with the link), none of the associated alt-accounts would have been exposed.

My friend The Sceptical Chymist was right when he stated: If you're really looking to catch alt accounts for whatever reason, it's these little quirks of writing that give them away sometimes.
