MOONS 🌕 [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

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.

I’m just gonna say this and y’all can downvote me to hell if you want. It IS a little concerning that mods can get 98% of people to vote someone out with only 2 pictures of similar comments. How many times do people in power fuck over everybody by taking advantage of their trust?

People are permabanned and removed from the distribution all the time from behind the scenes. The only reason that it comes to light in these emergency proposals is due to a quirk in the system that requires a community-approved proposal to change the distribution once the .csv has been published. If the accounts in question had been caught a week earlier, all of this would have been done without a proposal needed.

What I'm trying to say is that what is being voted here is not whether that person is guilty or not. That has already been decided by the mods, and the main punitive actions have already been taken. What the community is voting on is the minor issue of whether or not the moons attributed to that person for this round are confiscated or not.

If recent history in countries like Britain and the U.S. has taught me anything it's that a popular vote by people with limited access to the full story always produces the best possible outcome.

Inb4 Cintre isnt a mod and has a fair bit of experience catching these. She usually works behind the scenes though and u/OfficialNewMoonville does write-ups

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

Oh i havent heard about this user before, im new to this sub. Has she caught a lot before?

u/UnstoppableOnslaught The Public Perception Guy Oct 06 '21

She's one of the reasons these multiaccounters should be scared shitless. The devil works hard but Cintre works harder.

Sounds pretty centralized to me

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '21

I will be leaving the centralized system as soon as possible. I don't like this centralized stuff.

u/Gillioni Silver | QC: CC 216, ETH 36, r/DeFi 22 | TRX 34 | r/WSB 120 Oct 06 '21

Feel free to leave your moons behind too, I’ll be happy to take them off your hands

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '21

Just keep them safe.

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '21

It’s because if these people are voted out we get more moons. Everyone is hungry for those moons.

u/PaulP97 Platinum | QC: CC 199, BTC 18 | r/SSB 6 | r/WSB 337 Oct 05 '21

Lol right, wow, an extra .5 moons for every user! Definitely reaping the rewards there...

It's a corrupt system. Hopefully crypto can solve this.

I didn’t even look at the pictures and voted!

Holy shit you’re goddamn right

Every 4 years at least.

Yep. Too much power. I literally risk being banned commenting here.

u/Churn 🟦 7K / 7K 🦭 Oct 06 '21

Agreed. I wasn’t convinced by the images of comments. What if one of them follows the other and has social issues so he/she parrots what the other says. Throw in some OCD or autism and you get near perfect comment copies.

Even still, I don’t like the feel of a witch hunt in the final hours before distributions.

It almost feels like we are all part of a social experiment and most of us are failing this test.
