It would be even better if you had more data, say IP addresses, considering that most of these "geniuses" probably use the same IP addresses for all their accounts.

As far as I remember only theymos and Cyrus have access to IPs, and I would be very surprised if they would share that information with anyone unless it comes from a legal requirement, let alone in a massive way like this. And in the EU they would be breaking the data protection regulation, I don't know how it would be in the USA, where the forum is legally based, where I guess they would be more permissive.

Of course, admins have access to everything, but as far as I know, at least 3 members of Team Cryptios had (or still have) access to IP addresses because they need it for their work. I didn't mean for this data to be shared publicly and en masse, but rather for it to be given to a trusted person who would use it to detect alt accounts that abuse sig campaigns.

I’ve looked at the spreadsheets for the campaigns, and honestly, they’re disappointing. 99% of the workers barely meet the required number of posts per campaign. If the requirement is 20, they publish between 20-21; if it’s 25, they publish between 25-26... Stop being hypocrites. When I worked, the requirement was 20 posts per week, and I always averaged 40.

So, screw the cheaters. And screw the lazy ones.

It's nice that you shared your opinion about what you think of 99% of the forum members - while I agree that there are many who consider this forum just a business opportunity, I think there are a lot more than the 1% who find this forum a bit more then writing posts to fulfill their weekly quota.

If someone writes between 20 and 30 posts a week, and most sig campaigns have such requirements anyway, why would they be bad or a hypocrite for not writing twice as many posts to prove something? Besides, you use the term "worked" for your participation in sig campaigns, and that term is mostly used by those for whom the forum is a job - so talking about hypocrisy is not something you should lecture anyone about.
