Whether they're on the same team with the same agenda, or they are the same person, makes little difference from my perspective. It was all just harassment, and it was being funded by Lutpin. Do I think Lutpin is literally TwitchySeal, no. Do I think they have the same agenda and TwitchySeal is just paid to do the dirty work, yes.

Twitchy is being paid for advertising a site in their signature, not for doing anyones "dirty work".
Their payment comes from the displaying of that signature below their posts, not from the content of those posts.
Should I consider their posts to be violating the forum rules, I report them, should I consider them not being eligible for a payment for some other reason, I exclude those posts.
A post which contains open harassment would be one I have to exclude, I did so in the past with a few posts by Twitchy and I will continue to do this,
that however doesn't mean I can't pay them for their "good" posts.
This doesn't mean I necessarily have to agree with what the user writes, or I "have the same agenda".
I pay for a lot of posts which contain very different opinions all over the forum, having a paid signature doesn't mean you are being censored by the people paying you,
as long as these posts are acceptable, which opinion the user has is none of my concern, I might openly disagree with them and still pay them for these posts at the end of the round.

So TwitchySeal can go around harassing forum members, and you have no problem paying him to advertise your signature or leaving him positive trust, but if I advertise something you don't like, you have a problem with it and I'm untrusted? Even when I'm taking steps to resolve the situation as quickly as possible?
