i just feel like people ITT are trying way too hard to claim/imply there is proof of a connection. there just isn't. we all have the same suspicions, but that's not good enough. red tagging based on this seems abusive/retaliatory.

People are giving what they believing to be proof of a connection and it's pretty damning evidence to me when you count it all up, but yes, the smoking gun is missing. To compare hypothetically, if somebody took QS to court over this he'd likely get away free, but so did OJ. Sometimes all you need is a little doubt to walk away in the eyes of the law but in the court of public opinion we all know OJ is guilty even if there wasn't enough to convict in the eyes of the law (or you just have a really good lawyer who can talk a good talk and sew enough seeds of doubt). I wouldn't tag QS negative but I never tagged him originally anyway, but I think a neutral based on the evidence we have would be fine if that's what people want to do. I am however waiting for the day that everyone can move on from this though as it will just carry on forever otherwise and QS will probably always be here on one alt or another and this game of cat and mouse will likely continue on.

but it was all but confirmed for me when I noticed both you and QS reporting posts with the exact same phrasing. The odds of that happening between two random people is very rare and obviously not something someone else can mimic.

That can give false positive result, someone ask you for advice and you say "report it to moderator, write this in comments: (insert comment)". So they just c/p that and report post or use very very similar words. It is nothing unusual I guess. How many similarities are you talking about, if it is not secret?

Well sure it can, but so can everything else that has been presented, but it all adds up and it to be a mere coincidence or all false positives would be ludicrous to me. I can't tell you how many similarities there was on the reporting because I didn't keep count and reports are expunged after a month or so, but it was something I noticed over time and was finally like, where have I seen that report before. I copied and pasted a couple and there were direct hits on both QS and PN7. Most people probably keep their reports saved in their browser like I do, so you just use the drop down menu and choose the appropriate one and I'm guessing that's where he slipped up. Or he could have just typed them out again as much like the similarities that can be found in the phrases and language used of people posting publicly the same happens for the report queue. Some people report so many posts you become accustomed to them and you don't even need to look at their name to know who it was that reported it.

We could go down the path of comparing all contributors to this thread with each-other and cite examples such as hilariousetc and Quickseller using the expression

Code:

BTW

Well you could, but that's why you're a moron and nobody takes half of your deductions seriously. BTW, both me and QS/PN7 both use periods at the end of our sentences. Coincidence? Possibly.
