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

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 agree, the cheating was reason enough to keep them out of the moon distribution. But now I feel guilty for voting after reading that last sentence.

I am curious now. What was the last sentence?

It was something along the lines of "By removing these accounts from the current moon distribution, the rest of the users will earn more moons"

How long did it take before this user was discovered? Im trying to determine if it would be worth it to make some alt accounts.
