I was reading
this thread and made a post in it recently in which I voiced my suspicion that there might be one or two accounts that might be alts (posting in the same thread and two that were in the same bounty). I took a look into the merit histories of the accounts involved and found several more that I
think might be connected based on several factors (including merit being sent between the accounts), but I'm not comfortable making accusations without evidence and I'm requesting one of the statistical wizards here help me out by perhaps creating a merit flow chart or diagram or something for the following accounts. I've listed the names and registration dates.

I'd also appreciate the community's opinion on this, good, bad, or indifferent. There's nothing wrong with having alt accounts IMO, but when they start posting in the same threads or abuse bounties like I suspect is being done with at least a couple of accounts that I referenced in the above thread, then it starts to become a problem. In addition, I don't care for account farmers one bit, since that can lead to account and/or merit sales.
I fully realize that nothing I've written here thus far proves anything, but I'd like to get some feedback as to whether I'm on the trail of something or not.
