I'm not in the habit of accusing someone just like that and I had no intention of opening this topic, but the sequence of events gives me a hint that I'm on the trail of possible merit abuse and a possible alt farm.
Yesterday I came across the following topic
I'm new here in the B&H board and what first caught my attention was the post that was published only 44 seconds after the topic was opened. The post was edited about ten minutes later and I can't say how it looked originally, but it's not at all realistic to me that someone wrote it in just 44 seconds and I assumed that it was a pre-prepared post that was just copy/pasted.
Furthermore, the second thing that caught my attention is that this post received 4 merits in total, 3 of which were from newbie
@Turn it off.
The third thing that is definitely suspicious to me is that today that topic is locked, and I sincerely doubt that the reason is that someone reported that topic to the moderators (after all, for what reason?), and newbies usually don't have the habit of locking their topics.
Of course I questioned @Cantsay and he tried to justify himself in some way.
Another interesting fact, the OP (
@Dextro) is Nigerian, and so is
@Cantsay.
Facts to consider:
1.@Cantsay responds to a post in just 44 seconds.
2.@Cantsay gets 4 merits, including 3 from the newbie who has earned a total of 8 merits so far.
3.@Cantsay in a way
admits that what he is doing is a good way to earn merits and advertise his sig campaign.
4.The topic is locked to prevent further discussion, which only further indicates that the matter is being swept under the rug.
What seems to me that @Dextro1 is an alt account of @Cantsay, and also @Turn it off which served him to award himself merits.
Self-moderated only because of possible trolls who usually pollute such topics - not a single constructive post will be deleted.
