Topic: Account farming. Allowed? (Read 51937 times)

You shouldn't have posted there to begin with, and your issue has nothing to do with this thread either.

Hi everyone.

I found this topic after being given a red trust for 1 single post. I feel my account has been given this red trust unfairly by a high ranking member.

After looking at his send trust I noticed that he is trying to deal with the BS the forum is facing with spam and fake posts.  I feel he has pulled my submision to a topic as spam when really the comment was supposed to be taken in a light hearted way.  I did message him to say would he re-consider his judgment on my posted..

My reason for not posting a very long winded and drawn out answer was simple the topic was already over 150+ pages at the time.  The topic was "Does the bitcoin price matter"  After looking over around 25+ pages of answers and reading some rediculous reply's  I decided to give a direct and to the point answer.

Quote - " If you hold bitcoin then yes the price matters.
               If you do not hold bitcoin then for you it does not matter"

While on reflection the answer may have been better but after so many reply's I thought against writing a long winded answer when simply this would do.

I have offered to update my Single post that has been the target but I have had no reply from the member who left the trust and his profile says the following.


Website:    Do not message me if you are going to use the word 'sir' in the message. I will not read it.

Skype:    I have a life: I may (and probably won't) reply to most PM's. Wait a week between PM's.


While I understand what this member is doing and I do commend him for it I feel he has target me most of my posts are good quality posts I am looking to become a valued forum member I did not want to leave him a negative trust but I have looked thru his posts and when he was a "new member" some of his reply's were what could be classed as "Shit posting".

I hope this is not the route the forum will take persecuting every member they find that have a "lower-quality-post"  this may not only harm new members but is not a very welcoming sight to new members who have done nothing wrong..   

Thanks for your time and I hope we can resolve this matter asap.

yes account farming is verry unpleasant and a greedy idea ever invented by individuals who are not happy and contented to what they are earning right now. thats why the forum looks toxic now and i see that everyday theres always tons of newbies are born in this forum and i suspected that most of them are just for farming accounts. and no , it cant affect the price of bitcoin.  price of bitcoin are depends on the demand and supply in the markets.

It can't and doesn't. Don't believe everything you read. Several ludicrous conspiracy theories have been invented in this thread (and many others) because the truth just isn't that exciting or interesting.

Believe it or not, I read the whole thread. Account farming is very unpleasant indeed but around page 20 someone stated that it affects bitcoins price. How on earth could that be?

Cool.

So would you recommend others should believe things you say or no?

Does it (by 'it' it mean 'everything')  just not matter because people are bad and they lie etc etc...

How much respect do you deserve?  (let's say on a scale from 0 - One Hundred,000)

Sorry but I have lost any respect for human interactions here. I guess you will have to learn to live with it like everyone else. Just stop caring 

Oh the irony Wendigo... freaking hypocrite

( makes shit up about me out of nowhere , spreads it around as if it's fact, refuses to give any reason.... )

Do you think I give a rat's ass about the psychopaths around here whose only glimmering hope of their sad miserable life is to get home from their shitty jobs at night and put a negative rating on someone regardless of if it's true or not.
And no I am not a theymos shill. However I remember when you were crying for money over on the other Bitcoin forum so my common sense is telling me you are doing this out of your own interest and greed.

Oh handbags at dawn?
I'll explain further for the retards here. (theymos shills an all)

WTF are you on about a job?
I never been paid for this. I have never taken a cent of anyone here. I have got a real job thanks.

I am retired from "bothering". "Retired" being a turn of phrase, donk.

I tried to help you a while back when Timelord accused you of stuff. I worried Timelord may have got it wrong
You were a twat then too, so i gave up.

Now please fuck off, i'm done with you, theymos shill.

No pull your ass from your house and this forum.

Pull your head out your own ass matey.

Theymos is probably a multi-millionaire from the donations alone already and you think he is pulling the strings on the petty campaigns as well? Why would he waste time on picking up the scraps from those campaign and campaigners when he is already fucking rich? A little bit common sense please.

And finding alts is not a job. Are you pining to be employed and paid a monthly salary to bust alts? Seriously  9-5 awaits you mate.

My technique was 100% accurate. Do you agree?
theymos has me on ignore, always has, even before i named and shamed him as the master scammer.

Please start a new thread to pick on bbc.reporter. I have a soft spot for him/her.  He/she is just a bit out of their depth, but the intention is good.

I am not accusing you of anything here, (i'm retired) but your account has many traits associated with farmed/hacked accounts.
Your account summary page (click on avatar) declares you Male, from London. Did you change that as recently as today?
You are not British born. I wont go any further. (i'm retired)

Please don't get holier than thou here.
Even i have been accused of being an alt, of Quickseller, by some account - someone "Biggs" - a hacked account.
Shit happens, so obvious.

Truth to be told I was accused by user I quoted above -> bbc.reporter
Now he forgot after exchange PM what he said when accused me (I was selected and he was not) 
On last PM message he didn't bother to reply because he might realised that he actually made mistake.
My point is - don't judge until guilty is proven. Now my account I can put in trash - because no one will accept me for campaign.

I applied (first time in my life) - I was successfully chosen - I was removed from list while actively posting on forum - thanks to bbc-repo that knows better how to detect fake accounts and now here is asking here so it looks like his method is far from good, accusing normal account of farming. You can't reverse time, so I lost trust and credibility because bbc.reporter had second thoughts.

Thank you bbc.reporter you did marvellous job!

If you aren't shitposting/spamming, it is not likely that you're going to get accused of farming. Don't post bullshit.

There should be better techniques in place to distinguish fake accounts from real. Sometimes genuine users can be accused of farming, and there is nothing they can do about it. I am sure 100% this happened already on this forum.

Suddenly? The account farming and illiterate spamming has been going on for years, and it has destroying this place from inside out. It is the primary reason for which the majority of experts, as well as other legitimate people have already abandoned the forum. The remaining legitimate people are negatively effected by this, besides those that are outright scammers and criminals who profit off of this (see Quickseller as an example). Either:
a) Theymos has bad policies.
b) Theymos is involved.

Those are not conspiracy theories, but rather potential, reasonable explanations for the stuff that has been going on around here. I'm more inclined to believe that it is 'a' given my history with theymos, but that is unfortunate as well given that he is the 'sole' ruler and often not willing to change stuff.

When I see, that so far honorable members suddenly start with conspiracy theories about theymos, then I wonder seriously whether they are still themselves.

Not looking at signature managers might not be a good idea. Remember that two signature managers might be the same person.

Some of the farmed accounts might be used to push xxx altcoin, some might be used to push xxx ICO and some might be used to push other agendas (such as “core”).

I would not go as far as to say theymos is behind this farming, I would say that the farming does fall in line with why theymos deems acceptable.
