Please elaborate on the name of the well known member and the situation surrounding the largest account farming ring. I cannot recall anything about this incident.

We are likely talking about hundreds maybe several thousands of dollars per week depending on the number of alts. It also isn’t very time consuming to setup at scale compared to maintaining a real job. There’s a reason a certain well known member here left the site for good with a farewell post shortly after the largest account farming ring ever was discovered…

Funny what gets swept under the rug around here so people don’t end up with egg on their face. I won’t elaborate on the person’s name any further (c’mon it is obvious), but I will add they were a moderator at one point who used these farmed accounts to spam, would enroll them in sig campaigns, sell the account, then report all the account posts to a fellow accomplice moderator who would remove them, then split the earnings. The accomplice moderator ended up feeling bad about their role and contemplated resigning as a moderator (Which is how I’m aware of the entire scheme. I don’t know if he ended up resigning or not, I no longer care who the mods are and don’t follow them), while the main offender was fired for other wrongdoings.

It’s easier to just think I’m a crazy person though. Nothing wrong with the Admin, moderators, default trust or campaign managers. Nothing to see here.
