One thing I learned for sure: this forum is not the place if you look for justice nor it cares about all the shady stuff it is going on; it looks just the opposite in fact, when you try to say what happened to you and bring the best proof you can, they will just accuse you of being an impostor for some reason, apparently without even looking at your case or coming up with valid and structured counter-arguments. Very scary given the forum's size and how much it is known.

Part of the reason that you'll find such an inhospitable environment is due to the way the forum operates.

Scams are not moderated and alt accounts are allowed, so effectively every new account that is created is automatically assumed to be a sockpuppet or alternate account by many users. I don't personally commit to this ideology, though at times it becomes difficult to contain my biases: it happens so often that false positives are sometimes dismissed and accepted as an unfortunate sacrifice.

The other part is that you'll have people who get paid to post, so you can understand why they might not commit all their time to reading situations in full detail.

I think this is one of the first reasonable replies I have received since I have joined this community to explain my unfortunate situation. Thanks for your constructive message.

I understand this forum's situation a bit better now. But I am not an alt, do you have any suggestion on how one could effectively demonstrate that he's not an alt, shutting down false accusations once and for all? I even offered myself to get on the phone and anything that might be necessary to prove myself (even meet in person in a safe place if anyone lives near me), but not only that didn't change a thing (I was still being accused of being an alt lol, crazy), I'm not even sure if that's the best way to do it.

About the highlighted part, I'm not sure what you're implying. Are you saying that some accounts are getting paid to post and defend the scammer? If that's what you meant, that's certainly something I thought about too given the absurdness and lack of logic in their replies.
