You always see me creating drama with this account because I use this account only whenever I feel it's controversial.

Well, that's a problem, in my opinion. If you aren't confident enough to post an accusation from your main account, why post it from an alt? I'm not suggesting you only post accusations from your main account, I value everyone's privacy and encourage people to use alts if they have a specific privacy need for one. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to use alts, and exposing cheaters is a valid one. But at least use the "would I post this from my main account" measuring stick to consider whether a post is worth publishing.

As LoyceV alluded to; countless threads about exposed bounty cheaters who are relegated to the armpit of the forum anyway, is pointless. If they're spamming, report them to the bounty manager and the mods. If there's a legitimate abuse of a forum rule or signature campaign, and you're confident in your findings, you shouldn't even feel the need to use an alt. The example of LoyceV provided is absolutely perfect. Uncle nutildah didn't need an alt to expose the figmentofmyass farm. That farm included DT1 members and popularity among other high ranking members of the forum. There was a very real risk of retaliation against nutildah for what he was posting, but did that scare him into hiding behind an alt? No, because he was 100% confident in the evidence he was presenting to the forum.

So, I'll ask a question to those established members who reward this kind of behavior; what value do these Alt Hunters actually add to the forum?

Then again, maybe I'm not the one you were talking to Wink

I posed the question rhetorically, I don't need or want any one to answer. And I certainly don't want to call anyone out, as I'm not claiming innocence myself. I posed the question to get us all think about the ways the forum has evolved over the last few years, and whether some of the changes are necessarily good just because they appear that way on the surface.
