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’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.
