In the past, some connection was found between users GeorgeJohn and Ebede.

Given the evidence provided, there is a pretty solid chance that those two accounts are controlled by the same person, and GeorgeJohn explanation how his friend took over control of his account as part of April 1st joke is really far fetched, on par with "dog ate my homework" type of excuse. Identical posting style is also one of tee things that connects those two accounts.

Then I saw this thread of Ratimov where he exposes RainbowKun's alts. I haven't read the entire thread, as it requires a ton of time to understand why the hell RainbowKun is judged for, to verify the evidence etc., but I saw Ratimov including KingsDen to this account farming, which is a somewhat established member. (In #6 Ratimov says he's doubtful, but he finds it likely for KingsDen to be involved in it)

Evidence provided there is kinda flimsy, or I didn't understand the basis of the connection. So, this post was used as a proof that those two accounts might be connected, but that one was just the correction of another user's post. On top of that, the very same account that is allegedly part of RainbowKun's account farm accused KingsDen of merit whoring and I kinda doubt that someone would call out his own alt account in such way, unless its all part of the show in order to farm more merit. We've seen people doing all kind of crazy stuff to scoop some merit so this is also one of the possibilities.

I am now a little skeptical that you are posting just for merit. Please do not deliberately publish some content that merit source likes, do not perform, please be the real man!

Recently, ChipMixer's campaign manager announced for opened slots. This is when it started smelling fishy to me. Quoting this message that says it all:

Yep, strange coincidence. I wonder though how KingsDen didn't end up in CM campaign, given his expertise in any given subject. Cheesy

Will be active in any board ChipMixer needs more visibility.

Their writing style is very similar.

GeorgeJohn tends to write long sentences and using comma often, while KingsDen's sentences are much shorter. I just don't know how hard would it be keep that separated and not slip occasionally.

I don't care about those two particularly, but I'm concerned that there may be some gigantic farming monster among us who's mocking everyone for good. And I'm afraid that they overfill threads, responding to themselves, loading the forum with spam just to fulfill their posting quota, which is likely hundreds of posts per week.

I would be really surprised if there's no big account farm that is milking the forum via signature campaigns, considering the fact that there are more spots in sig campaigns than there are solid posters which makes it easy for subpar posters to get accepted.

When you look at all these little "coincidences" separately they don't mean much, but when you add them up it starts to look suspicious. In the end, its kinda hard to draw any conclusions without strong evidence like address connection.
