Pretty good chance Cantoner is an alt of knowhow, a guy who had a lot of BCT accounts and did a lot of account farming. He and all his alts got banned for spam, so the account "Cantoner" is probably banned too. No solid proof linking them, but they talk way too similarly. The other alts might have been also farmed by him, and banned.

Surprised how many farmed accounts there are.


Cantoner has not posted since may, so may have been banned. But most others I have listed, and even on the same list as Cantoner, are still active.
As you know, we can't tell if an account is banned or not. We can only see last activity.
Only mods, staff and admin can see ban status, rather annoyingly.

Cantoner was on an alphabetical list. These list appear to be interconnected, making it most likely the work of one farmer.
One farmer with hundreds of accounts - just like Knowhow?

Please tell me,
Was there mass banning of accounts related to Knowhow? (was that based on random individual member reports, or more thorough like here)
How long ago was that?
Can you link any threads, or u=#?

-------------------

bbc.reporter,

u=668256 is already listed by me. Also u=669148. (see summary on page 3, will update again soon)
The other 3 are outside or my target u=range at the moment.

My target area is u=500000 - u=700000. (because of your original list) When I feel I have properly covered that period, maybe I'll expand my search forward/back from there.
Please keep looking.
