You could just see the effect in meta and reputation board there are large number of users protesting, you should not say all of them are alts its a very childish reason for this large number of accounts!
Not only large number of user, you should mention also large numbers of newbie. But I will mention them as spambie. A newbie joined back 2 days, he is suggesting for new rules for DT selection. Is it really not look surprise?
