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.
Based on what you have stated, I have recollections about something similiar I think. Anyway, as you have no elaborated I guess there is nothing more to add.
1xbit is probably the best example here. Many hacked account suddenly woke just to join signature campaign then later on stop posting after the campaign ends.
Funny thing is they are always become active whenever 1xbit campaign is live again and keep getting the spot.
No one will purchased high rank account just to suicide on a signature campaign that pay less to the account worth itself.
Using them as an example, the sheer number of accounts involved were too many for just a single person to control. It seems for at least some of them, the account farmer probably used others to login and make posts on his behalf. At the end of the day if there is financial gain, scammers will devise a way to scam.
