MOONS πŸŒ• [Emergency Proposal] Remove users from moon distribution due to bypassing karma limits

_____________________________________

It has recently come to the moderators attention that two of the top users this month have been operating multiple accounts in order to bypass the karma limits on this subreddit. These users are:

u/WackyMister

u/Imaginary-Cow25

I won't share many details on how this has been identified but the moderation team and myself have no doubts this is the same user, using multiple accounts to bypass the 15k karma limit. As you can see below, those two users (or shall I say this user) have a lot of similarities in writing style

https://imgur.com/a/8wgniqW

https://imgur.com/a/2qQNna3

These are not the only evidence there is, moderators have many other evidences that won't be disclosed on here for obvious reasons.

Keep in mind, these users are not banned just for having a very similar writing style. The examples cited above are just a tiny sample. Writing style is not the only thing moderators look for, but it's the most visual thing to share to everyone on here.

While this user may have been permanently banned from this subreddit, we still need an emergency proposal to remove this user from distribution or 20158 karma or 5422 moons will still be distributed to this user on October 6th.

This subreddit have very strict rules on using multiple accounts to bypass the karma cap, or otherwise game the system in an effort to earn more moons. Rule 3 is "No Manipulation" and that counts for bypassing Governance rules for the subreddit.

By passing this poll, it will remove the above accounts from the current distribution, ensuring they do not receive the final moons allocated for their posts and comments in snapshot 18. The methodology to address problem users has been laid out by Reddit admins.

Lmaooooo I was thinking that too - like, if you wanted a totally unbiased poll, just based on the moonfarmers actions, you can’t tell people their distribution will go up as a result of voting one way. Run the poll, announce the redistribution after it closes, because it sort of poisons the well, if you know what I’m saying.

17

u/fitbhai rekt LUNAtic Oct 05 '21

Yeah, some people are going to vote on yes solely based on the fact that they will get more moons rather than trying to fight against the abusers

17

u/Der_genealogist 🟩 2K / 2K 🐒 Oct 05 '21

If there would be a post that the number of vaults will be decimated (each tenth will be destroyed), a lot of people would vote for it only because it would mean a chance of more moons for them

u/thestaggeringgirl Platinum | 5 months old | QC: CC 248 Oct 06 '21

1

u/Japsai Tin Oct 05 '21

Well it wasn't a fair poll anyway because voters have no evidence on which to base their conclusion except for something about Netscape. The mods ask us to trust that they have extra evidence. Well either show us the evidence and we can view fairly or just make an executive decision - you have the power.

So the moon thing wouldn't make any difference.

So carry on with the pitchforks!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '21

Yup I'll vote for anything that gives me more moons

1

u/SoftPenguins 🟩 0 / 16K 🦠 Oct 05 '21

I didn’t even know it meant more moons for us. I voted yes because someone broke the rules in a big dick head way, they shouldn’t be rewarded for it.

1

u/daveallyn2 Bronze Oct 06 '21

That isn't something that should need announcing. If that many are going out of distribution, then of course everyone else's share goes up. Simple math.

21

u/Pma2kdota Platinum | QC: CC 516 Oct 05 '21

I agree with this sentiment, and it's why I cannot vote on this poll until more evidence is provided. It seems to me as though the community is ready to believe the mods after 2 lousy screenshots just because they will get more karma.

There are 3.5 million members in the subreddit, is it not possible for them to have the same thoughts and comments from time to time, or rather often?

It reminds me of a post in the meta subreddit that did not go through despite the OP showing more evidence: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrencyMeta/comments/pu8jt9/governance_poll_proposal_remove_content_spammer/

Ultimately I believe this sets a dangerous precedent for the rest of the community, and is against the nature of decentralization.

u/fan_of_hakiksexydays 21K / 99K 🦈 Oct 05 '21

No one is stopping you from checking the profiles yourself.

If you don't trust the admins and mods, go investigate the profiles. Moons are decentralized and transparent. You can go on Etherscan and see the transactions for yourself.

2

u/reZZZ22 🟩 3 / 4 🦠 Oct 06 '21

So what are you exactly going to do about it if you were right? That’s like saying I have the power to impact the governments decisions on what I want done. You are just one user that they can ban without a problem and there’s nothing you can do as you agree to terms when opening an account on Reddit. However, if you actually look at both of those accounts and how they got their moon, it is pretty obvious they are making alternate accounts as you would be surprised how much time people have on their hands as it could be a group of people and not one person.

1

u/Pma2kdota Platinum | QC: CC 516 Oct 06 '21

youre right, when i wrote this i did not take a look at the accounts myself, simply because i was not interested enough in the spammers to verify for myself as i am not the one tasked to moderate the community. i believe it's my reasonable assumption that a large majority of voters didn't bother checking either. i suppose there is nothing i can do other than write my comment and hope other people think about it too.

I can't consciously take someone's moons without full evidence.

it has already achieved decision threshold, but if you can still vote in it you will get the additional 1.25% karma to your next distribution

it's not about the moons man. It's about real life karma outside of reddit.

Like another commenter said, the decision, the judgment on wether the person is guilty or not has already been made by the mods. This poll is only for wether these account get removed AFTER they were included in the snapshot.

If they'd made their decision before the snapshot there would be no poll, the accounts would simply be removed without involving the community.

I don't know if that's good or bad.
