Users recently woke up after eXch Anti-Phishing Campaign Launch

[alani123]

Damn @logfiles  I certainly didn't mean to come off like that

What I mean wasn't thought through was that spammers would be attracted so much. Of course the campaign is successful though.

The spammers/cheats will be flushed out. We are watching

I'll include my rational in another post.

No you won't. If you were going to present any evidence to back your claim, you would have done it by now. The thing is you have no evidence.

Though lets assume ignorance by all, how would your post saying that the person is not an alt because of their knowledge any different? You also did no research other than comment on their posting style as reason as to why they are not an alt? Is that a real reason? It seems to me more like a cover up, which is why I entered the thread as I did.

Again, 100% speculation with nothing to back it up. I pointed out that not only are the writing styles of Medusah and blckhwk completely different, but that their native language is different as well. So that strongly suggests they are not alts of each other. If there's a cover-up at work here, its on you to expose it. But we both know you're not going to do that because you've been bullshitting this entire time.

I don't see an issue with my rating

That's the problem.

and will support it with more information down the line.

I highly doubt it.

I am also hardly surprised to see that you ignored my welcoming for you to clearly deny any idea, involvement or association with any corrupt groups:

This is off-topic for this thread. Feel free to open a reputation topic addressing my corruption. I could use a good laugh.

I'm time poor and to be quite frank have been worried and contemplating the end result. I have already said that a lot of evidence is circumstantial however it is evidence nonetheless that there is a problem in the higher echelons of the forum. It has only been validated since I began discussing it, with the dodging and weaving when asking yourself and others to deny it.

I will post, I am just making sure I do not shoot myself in the foot any more than I already have by discussing it prior to posting the thread to begin with. Combining this with my lack of time does not make this a quick process.

I don't really understand the relevance of Medusah or blckhwk being alts of each other when the original topic was talking about users who had just woken up to join the campaign:

This is just for the record. I don't want to accuse any of this users but we all know the possible reason is they have an alt that might be try to claim more one with this eXch Anti-Phishing Campaign.

After this user Medusah gives merit of one of my post in eXch Anti-Phishing Campaign  I immediately checked his account because he's not familiar to me.. After checking his account/trust rating, I saw this notice: This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity. And I'm sure that it is because of eXch Anti-Phishing Campaign Launch.


Then I check users who was not familiar for me, post with same activity and post count and found this user who also recently woke up from a long period of inactivity.

FleurTunisienne
blckhawk
mirtotanota No notice of This user recently woke up from a long period of inactivity. but there's more than 1 year gap from the last post prior to the application for the eXch Anti-Phishing Campaign.

The topic has been Medusah and the others being an alt of anyone, not an alt of each other, which is why I found your post to be so preposterous (as what you said in the context of Medusah being an alt of anyone, combined with my research, it looks like you are covering up either for yourself or a farmer that you know of or are associated with).

You're welcome to doubt it - I don't see why one would be so convicted with nothing to support their conviction. Anyway, sure we will leave it here and you can have your laugh when the threads are posted.

[nutildah]

I'm time poor and to be quite frank have been worried and contemplating the end result.

I would be worried too if I made accusations about forum members and was caught squarely talking out of my asshole.

It has only been validated since I began discussing it

Meanwhile, despite your flurry of accusations, you haven't validated a single thing. Not once. Which is why you are now distrusted by 9 DT members.

I will post, I am just making sure I do not shoot myself in the foot any more than I already have by discussing it prior to posting the thread to begin with.

Good. Even though you'll never admit it, you now see my point about presenting the evidence before making accusations.

I don't really understand the relevance of Medusah or blckhwk being alts of each other when the original topic was talking about users who had just woken up to join the campaign:

Its because you didn't actually read and digest information in the OP or this thread in large. You just saw my post and felt compelled to troll me.

You're welcome to doubt it - I don't see why one would be so convicted with nothing to support their conviction. Anyway, sure we will leave it here and you can have your laugh when the threads are posted.

The only thing I'm "convicted" about is that you rarely have the slightest clue what you're talking about. You just talk and talk about nothing to fulfill your campaign requirement, seldom adding anything of value to any topic you engage.

That's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried about how far the corruption goes and what would happen even with good grounds.

I am not "talking out of my asshole" and if you have some patience you'll see otherwise.

This number is not much higher than how distrusted me quite some time ago. It doesn't mean much in any case.

I have said it quite a few times now, that I am creating my threads and when they are posted, they will form basis for speculation surrounding the corruption of high profile members.

I will post, I am just making sure I do not shoot myself in the foot any more than I already have by discussing it prior to posting the thread to begin with.

Good. Even though you'll never admit it, you now see my point about presenting the evidence before making accusations.

I have already admitted that I do regret posting about what I should have supported with threads first. I am not afraid to admit that.

That's not true. You had drawn the conclusion that the OP was speaking about the mentioned accounts being alts, though the main focus was that they all woke up to join the campaign. That's how I interpreted it when I got here, and still how I interpret it reading back.

You're welcome to doubt it - I don't see why one would be so convicted with nothing to support their conviction. Anyway, sure we will leave it here and you can have your laugh when the threads are posted.

I was talking about myself - as in, I don't see why I would be so convicted with nothing to support my conviction. I have said many, many times that what I will post about is not a light thing to post about and that it will take time to present it, especially given my already limited time. You are only posting so aggressively now to take advantage of the fact that I am not ready to post...and you can have that while it lasts. I don't mind.

Aside from these kinds of discussions, I try to provide value in the threads that I contribute to and I'm sure others who see my posts outside of these discussions would agree. I can't agree that I post about nothing nor add any value to any topic I engage, and I think it's fair to say that your opinion is biased.

I will continue responding if prompted, but I suggest ignoring each other until I post the threads I mentioned and continue discussing there. What do you think?

[alani123]

I don't understand why notildah has to beef with bencodie so often. It's starting to become the new staple of forum relationships haha.
I'm personally eager to see how this gets handled by eXch. It's useful to spot which accounts are following some suspicious patterns like waking up from inactivity or being alts.

But ultimately only eXch have access to the emails for reporting the domains and only they could decide how to distribute their own money. The fact that the campaign is so simple obviously attracted many such cases but ok I'm not putting this on eXch. I commented about this before and I think got misunderstood, I should have said maybe it wasn't anticipated to be faced with so much spam and dubious claims. But in the end of the day two domains are already down so if it works it works.

I'm tired of this asshole trolling me, calling me corrupt & etc. without ever putting forth any substance to back it up. If you read the thread, you'll notice I commented first and then he made a snarky reply, basically accusing me of being at least one of the accounts in question. Which is fucking stupid, and as with every single other allegation he's ever made, completely baseless.

It seems to me quite possible that not all those who sent the report to the registers will necessarily be paid. The eXch team certainly has insight into all sent reports, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are incomplete and, as you say, just plain spam.
For now, eXch has full control over this campaign, there is no reason for additional concern.

With the rate this is going, I wouldn't be surprised if all the domains were suspended by April or May.

Unfortunately it's whack-a-mole with scammers when you're dealing with phishing sites.

As I said in my last post, I will ignore you from now and I hope that you can do the same. When the thread is made (soon) then we can continue to discuss there.

...calling me corrupt & etc. without ever putting forth any substance to back it up.

I have called you this as you have made opinions that are not only in line with that behavior but affirm corruption exists in the higher echelons of the forum. On several occasions, I've welcomed you to deny any involvement or association with corruption in the forum and in return I'd leave you alone until I posted my thread, each time you refuse to deny it or even address the statement.

I made this snarky reply (being, throwing off the scent) as what you had said to excuse the account of waking up and taking advantage of the campaign was far from logical to me. I still believe that my post was fine. I welcome others aside from yourself and those associated with yourself to disagree.

As for other allegations, aside from mentioning that my research supports that a lot is amiss, it is also backed by your continual avoidance to deny that something is amiss. Since we have begun our back and forth when theymos had announced the new forum software would not be released, you and others have refused to deny involvement or association with corruption in the forum. This has mostly what has fueled my distaste for you, your own posts and actions.

The two domains on the list are not direct phishing sites, but some form of blog that points to the third phishing domain. On that side, it is very difficult to completely suspend such domains, because there are suspicious links only on 1-2 pages.
They will remove those pages at the request of the hosting or domain registrar, but they can always add them again later. 

[nutildah]

I have called you this as you have made opinions that are not only in line with that behavior but affirm corruption exists in the higher echelons of the forum.

You've only ever affirmed two things: 1) you're an asshole that talks out of your ass, and 2) your reading comprehension sucks.

On several occasions, I've welcomed you to deny any involvement or association with corruption in the forum and in return I'd leave you alone until I posted my thread, each time you refuse to deny it or even address the statement.

Again, you are fascinated with the idea that the lack of something is evidence of anything. Its not. And nobody owes you anything.

Since we have begun our back and forth when theymos had announced the new forum software would not be released, you and others have refused to deny involvement or association with corruption in the forum.

OK, I'm telling you right now I've never been involved with any part of "corruption" on this forum. I'm just a forum user like yourself and am entitled to my own opinions. I don't get special treatment from the admins and have never received any compensation from them. The difference between you and me is I'm respected for the work I do here and you are not.

This has mostly what has fueled my distaste for you, your own posts and actions.

Likewise.

So going back to the actual topic, where's your big investigation into alts in the campaign thread? Seems like if you have enough time to troll me, you'd have enough time for that. Don't bother replying to this post as I will not be responding; instead use your time to make good on what you said almost an entire week ago:

I'm motivated to find all alts in that thread.

You're entitled to your beliefs. I still don't see why one would make up what I am speaking about. As for reading comprehension, I think I manage well enough. I am only human and miss something here or there, though I reply to 95%+ of what someone says at any given time. You can't say the same. In fact, you consistently skip over key details.

Denying involvement or association with corruption is not an owing to me, and if it did not exist it would not be such an argument or debate to deny. I'm not fascinated with this idea, it is simply sound logic.

Since we have begun our back and forth when theymos had announced the new forum software would not be released, you and others have refused to deny involvement or association with corruption in the forum.

OK, I'm telling you right now [1] I've never been involved with any part of "corruption" on this forum. I'm just a forum user like yourself and am entitled to my own opinions. [2] I don't get special treatment from the admins and have never received any compensation from them.

This seems to be playing with semantics. Instead of copy and pasting this sentence:

I have no idea about, have no involvement and am not associated with any group who have negatively impacted the forum/community through negative/unethical actions motivated by profit or by manipulating forum mechanisms.

You decided to craft a completely new one that:
[1] Doesn't deny existence of corruption or that you have any idea about it, just that you have never been involved with any part of "corruption" on this forum.
[2] States that you don't get special treatment from admins, though does not include higher profile members who may manipulate forum mechanisms to yours and/or their benefit.

What you said hasn't wavered my thoughts nor effected anything that I've researched, and I don't believe that it should discredit the notion that corruption exists on the forum. If it was a black and white statement that corruption did not exist or that there are no people or groups who manipulate forum mechanisms, then there'd be no issue with copy and pasting what I had provided. I think we can both agree that no one can make that statement though, right?

Since we have begun our back and forth when theymos had announced the new forum software would not be released, you and others have refused to deny involvement or association with corruption in the forum.

The difference between you and me is I'm respected for the work I do here and you are not.

Seeking a respected member's opinion here - what are your thoughts on account farming? Do you consider that a corrupt thing to do, and do you think it should be against the rules? What's your stance?

While tiresome in itself, it doesn't take as long to reply to you as it takes longer to audit hundreds of accounts with no automation. There are now over 150 responses there. I've made a start but no one should expect me to be complete given this forum is not my full time priority. It will be done in due time, which is before the 1 month period is over.

[BenCodie]

I believe it is likely that most of the accounts below also have other (alt) accounts on the forum, and after seeing the eXch campaign on their main accounts, they decided to login to these alt accounts to try and get more from the campaign. I have not gone to the extent of trying to link any publicly available blockchain information to find main accounts, though this information can be a good starting point for anyone who has the time and tools to do so.

Below are 4 accounts who had joined the exch campaign after not posting/being active for at least 12 months:

Post #4 - mirtotanota - Inactive since January 2024 (14 months ago) before posting in eXch campaign.

Post #63 - FleurTunisienne - Woke up on March 16 2025 to join the campaign being inactive since 2019 (6 years ago).

Post #132 - LittleBitFunny - Inactive since November 2023 (17 months ago) before joining the campaign.

Post #144 - Amuro - Woke up on March 12 to join the utopia campaign and the exch campaign after being inactive since joining the forum 7 years ago.

Below are 4 accounts who had joined the exch campaign after not posting/being active for at least 6 months:

Post #34 - blckhawk - Woke up on March 15 after being inactive since July 2024 (8 months ago) (Already pointed out by xLays)

Post #46 - Medusah - Woke up on March 15 to join the campaign after being inactive since July 2024 (8 months ago) (Already pointed out by xLays)

Post #161 - joker404 - Inactive since May 2024 (10 months ago) before joining the campaign.

Post #189 - Cyberczar - Woke up March 16 to join the campaign after being inactive since June 2024 (9 months ago).

Below are 3 accounts who had joined the exch campaign after not posting/being active for at least 3 months:

Post #33 - Dont Trust Verify - Inactive since December 2024 (3 months ago) before posting in eXch campaign. Writing style (and trust rating page) also strongly suggests/identifies this is an alt account of another member.

Post #123 - welovebit - Brand new account joining the campaign after being inactive since January 2025 (3 months ago).

Post #171 - Article4Tip - Inactive since October 2024 (5 months ago) before waking up to bump their thread and join the campaign shortly thereafter

Here are 4 other suspicious finds:

Post #198 - yamin_galib - More posts applying for bounties/campaigns than normal posting.

Post #203 - Basels - Brand new account joined on March 21 to join the campaign and (seems like) they're making posts surrounding the entry to obfuscate the post.

Post #140 - rolypoly - Woke up in July 2024 after being inactive for 2 years, made one post, inactive from July 2024 to January 2024. Made 5 posts since then (2 campaign entries, 3 posts).

Post #173 - Mastercon - Didn't wake up specifically for the campaign though was inactive since June 2020 (almost 5 years ago) before becoming active on February 7 2025 and has since only posted to apply for campaigns.

[examplens]

Post #171 - Article4Tip - Inactive since October 2024 (5 months ago) before waking up to bump their thread and join the campaign shortly thereafter

Account Article4Tip and ContentWriter application in Post #28, are alt accounts of the same person. He confirmed it to me himself. He had written some articles for me before, so we had some communication. A good part of the communication went through Telegram and I don't have everything saved in history as proof.

[yamin_galib]

Post #198 - yamin_galib - More posts applying for bounties/campaigns than normal posting.

Will posting in the bounty thread prevent me from participating in this eXch Anti-Phishing campaign?

I only put you in "other suspicious finds" because you don't actually contribute much in the forum, you seem to just want the rewards from campaigns. You're not the main point of my post, it is up to eXch how they treat you. I'd recommend contributing a bit more to the forum, but that's just my 2 cents.

Nice catch. I kept note of ContentWriter too as they showed many signs of being a farmed/alt account, but farmed accounts without blockchain proof weren't the main focus, the main focus was just those who woke up to participate in the campaign.

There are a lot of farmed accounts on this forum I've been keeping note in separate research. Hard to pin professional farmers with blockchain evidence, as they're obviously vigilant/not idiots.
