Sorry guys, I don't mean to generalize all Indonesian users are bad although in my case most of them made mistakes. I know this is not only happening to Indonesian users, but some third-country low income countries also seem to be the same. I know some of them are good user, they can be trusted and they are quality posters. But it is unfortunate that money has been detrimental to the behavior of some of them so far.
However I wonder why you're give a neutral trust to those 4 users, if you think they're an alts and abusing campaign, they're deserve to get red tagged.
I'm not sure about all of these accounts that deserve a red tag
[need better evidence], but I believe they all are alt based on their behavior. Red tag are too risky at the moment, but neutral seems enough to warn anyone.
@_BlackStar I am not sure what's the point of this topic. Is it to paint the whole Indonesian board as bunch of spammers and cheaters so we (or admins?) should do something about it?
No, I shouldn't have made you think like that because it's actually about my curiosity. I don't want to encourage people to think that way, so this is just my perspective on some of them breaking the rules to the detriment of their account reputation.
As long as the feedback you sent neutral is fine. But spam should handle by the forum. It's good you left feedback to warn the user but I won't recommend doing so. For alts, you can leave feedback due to abuse. If not abusing anything should leave feedback. Thousands of spammers around the forum, not possible to leave feedback for them.
I got a PM from that user and he explained what the problem was. I shouldn't have tag it for no reason, it's not as arbitrary as he mentions. But it doesn't feel right to be too selfish without considering removing that tag from his profile by accident, so I'm deleting it now.
I don't think we should make such a conclusion just because a dozen accounts from the same board have been tagged for cheating or spamming. By the way, the facts that you discovered some accounts were connected could mean that I just a couple of cheats, making you think there are over a dozen cheating Indonesians. I believe there are also very awesome and good posters in the board, so let's not focus on the negative.
I understand, mate. So spam should be handled by forum but we reserve the right to warn those users out of kindness. That will have a huge impact on users, but maybe not all of them. Also I'm not saying all Indonesian users are bad, but that's only part of it. You must understand the meaning.
Neutral tags on spammers are removed, but I'll still tag cheater as cheater if proven correct
[regardless of where it comes from]. Sorry about the misunderstanding this one, but please don't think I've generalized all Indonesian users are bad. That's not something I meant, but that's only part of it.
