I also noticed they were active on 6th of this month, I tried to see if they posted anything regarding all this mess, but I could not find anything when I checked.
By the way, what is even the point of doing such a thing like trying to manipulate trust in such way, knowing it wont solve anything?
Is there a possibility there are trying to make all the trust not to appear for themselves, so they can sell the account to someone who is unaware of their scam? It would make sense if they are trying to deceive someone who believes to be buying a neutral-trust high rank account here...
No, it would not make sense for three reasons.
One, the chaos that ensue when they left lingered for a quite long time and echoed probably to a lot of boards on this forum. I wouldn't doubt that a lot of users heard about the case.
Two, even if someone happened to be clueless about the case and interested to buy the account, they will appraise the account from their own, or from a guest account, and not from betnomi's own [I extremely doubted betnomi will, "here's the account, here's the password, see our trust score for yourself and then kindly return the account to us"] and the trust [and newbie flag] will still be there.
Three, I don't see a reason for buy an account with such a specific name tied to a brand. Never buy an account here, so I wouldn't know, but I assume they'll prefer an account named "popcorn123" or "rachel_something" than a "betnomi"
From all you points, I believe the third one is the most likely to hold anyone from buying his account, because there are real chances much people around here being clueless on this situation and also, as far as I understand how the trust system works, it would take someone to be logged on to appreciate their negative feedback, some potential buyer without an account and seeing Betnomi's posts could be fooled.
Though, the name of the account should, at least, raise a red flag and prompt anyone to search for it on the internet.
But if they do not intend to sell their account, what other reason would they have to do such apparently meaningless move...?
