Steve is one of the most authoritative users of the forum and I have no reason not to trust his words. Do I think these accounts are related? No. The evidence provided affects users from the same local section ... and I fully rely on the current counter arguments.
Forget about it. Since they did not actually apply at the same time, it does not even count as an offense. But if you ask me to believe they are not alt because Steve told you, I am sorry you failed to convince me. Even if Steve asked them to complete the KYC, I wouldn't rely on that. If you ask people to complete KYC who have been accused of having alternative accounts, all of them will be able to complete three or more KYCs with different Identities. But that won't change the fact they are alternative accounts.
Will I remove him from the campaign? It is quite possible, but I would not want to do this because this user is a dream of any manager because he does not need to make reminders, he is active, uses the platform and on his own initiative supports organic discussion. Pakhitheboss also did a great job managing the IPL Pool and as far as I can tell everything went smoothly. I hope he will answer here soon and become active again, and the red tags will be changed to neutral.
That is up to you. You reserve the right to remove/add/keep anyone in your campaign. But I saw you removed a guy for having neutral feedback from JollyGood. Now think if this is a double standard. Also, it is quite logical to keep him in your campaign since he is creating a mess with everyone who has any problem with the BC game or any other platform that you promote. It is not only me who had arguments with him, people like Zwei, AHOYBRAUSE, and a couple more got attacked by pakhitheboss because he wanted to protect your business.
As for running the IPL Pool, it's not a big deal. He also participated in it with his alternative account. But that's okay as long as he participates with one account. I think it is obvious what are you trying.
What is your take regarding his merit abuses and DT voting manipulation?
