This is like money laundering.
When you raise tens of hundreds of alts, and produce some good quality word salads, you'll attract some legit forum users as well.
Exchanges, casinos and mixers do that all the time. Their big customers are CP sellers, drug sellers, terrorists etc but it is your legit money that washes their huge dirty money.
I am not saying that Rainbowdude is a acc farmer or not even though the evidences that were provided kinda make sense. I just didn't look deeply into it.
I am just saying what he could be doing here. So any legit dude that merited Rainbow is now being used against us.
With the difference being that money laundering actually makes you money.
You can milk the shit of this forum with 100 alts. I am sure you are smart enough to figure how.
You kind of too your quote out of context. Yes you can earn money on this forum and yes if you have an army of decently ranked accounts you can earn a lot. I don't know how well these Twitter and what not campaigns pay because I don't even have an active Twitter account and would also not consider participating anyway due to lack of time. I have tried with my account to get into one of the casino sig campaigns but that was close to impossible, also because I have times where I just can't be present.
To make a lot of money off of this forum as I see it you need to have highly ranked accounts, a strong reputation and a lot of time.
If someone (here: allegedly RainbowKun) starts out to farm a 60 alt account army with the posting quality he creates (no matter whether we like the content, but just the effort he seems to be putting in), how the heck do you see him ever get near the level to finally make that pay off? This is what I don't get. I am not denying you can earn money on this forum. For someone who is unknown and doesn't provide specific services to the forum, it is almost impossible as a newbie to ever get to one of the higher ranks. Maybe Senior, but Hero/Legendary, not really. Unless you only post in the right threads. I mention this because Loyce even pointed out that RainbowKun is posting in the wrong places to get merits. So considering that this RainbowKund guy even posted in the wrong places, decreasing his chances substantially to receive a decent amount merits, does make the allegations of Ratimov even more unlikely to be true. That is just my opinion, but what does my opinion account here?
Anyway, let's see how this pans out. In the private discussions I had with RainbowKun about scientific research I can only tell I was never of the opinion that he could be an account farmer. No account farmer would ever put the effort into private conversations besides managing 60 + alt accounts on top of managing the main account posting pages long articles almost every day.
