Against hop hopen, I hope he comes back and uses this anonymity to come clean with the story of how he feels about doing this and shares his thought process about the "ethics" of it all.
I doubt whatever he says will change anything so it's probably futile offering explanations or excuses. It's hardly a crime what he did and he could have just seen it as having multiple jobs or sources of income. I think the people who want a spot on the campaign might not see it like that but at the end of the day he probably did it just because he could and it's relatively easy money. Would it matter to most if he really needed the money or it was his only source of income? Doubt it.
Also wonder if mods knew this by IP the entire time and kept their mouths shut..
This is important to know. It'll be great if the mods can clarify this.. Whether they actually scrutinize IP logs for wrongdoing?? The least the mods can do is look at the IP logs of those accounts and see for themselves whether it was possible to identify them? This would probably bring some form of closure to those who feel cheated that the most aspirational Sig campaign on the forum was exploited for so long.
Read my above post. It's none of the admins or mods business. Only admins have access to IPs and having multiple accounts isn't against the rules nor would they care about what campaigns they were on so it's not something they would look into and certainly wouldn't share that info. I can guarantee you there have been worse abuses than this gone on in the past and I'm sure there's many more who are doing stuff like this that we don't know about especially in the alt coin campaign world, but it's not something staff would get involved with unless it breaks the rules. All it would take would be to use a proxy for each account and staff would be non the wiser anyway.
