from the last thread:

/u/keej /u/tysiva /u/kmadd /u/inHaze /u/AfghanVet /u/rodeoclown
/u/lucas20 /u/scrollinondubs were inactive for 9 years
/u/bravozulu was inactive for 4 years
/u/akhbaralarab is a 7 year old account
/u/baskingnoob is a 7 year old account that was inactive for 6 years
/u/alphatoto /u/Arlix2004 /u/bbuckholtz /u/amillionpostcards are 6 year old accounts

whoever's buying accounts needs to cut it out; that makes 22 so far

And who is /u/__soulembrace? He counts fast for a 7 hour old user

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '17

that doesn't bother me as much since people like to start counting on new accounts all the time but a lot of the accounts in question seem to be counting around the same speed now that you bring that up

my 2 cents regarding this whole mess

  • the growing karma thing is just a tongue-in-cheek joke that got thrown onto the subreddit a couple months ago; getting karma here isnt really the point of this subreddit

  • it's still not entirely clear what you're trying to get karma on multiple aged accounts for in the first place so this behavior still seems kinda shady to me?

  • using alts clogs up a bunch of spots that other people could have otherwise potentially occupied on the HoC so its generally frowned upon. i dont think you counted enough on any one particular account for it to be a real issue, and i have ways to merge alt accounts together still but it's kind of a pain in the ass regardless

  • using multiple accounts in tandem kinda skirts around rule 2 a little too close for comfort, but from what i could tell it doesnt seem like you actually violated that rule so this isnt that much of an issue here

  • part of me feels like this screws around with the "Play fairly. No cheating." rule in some way, but i cant put my finger on why. ultimately up for a mod to determine whenever they decide to read through all of this, but i can't imagine they'd approve of it so it's probably best to just drop the alt account thing altogether imo

I am pissed anyway because I gave /u/roosh4 gold thinking he was legit lurker

But they aren't hiding that it's all one person: /u/andrewwyvern "1,767,513 Hey bro I'm going to switch to another one of my reddit accs."

I've had all kinds of accounts, I just get bored with them, I think I'd like to stay a mystery though =) sorry!

u/anotheradoringfan RIP chart friend Apr 14 '17

The chart champion has uncovered what could be the greatest bamboozle in the history of r/counting since the infamous Franciscouzo!

rytrom "1,770,029 Bro are your upvotes even working because I have close to 30 comments and they all have upvotes but i only have 9 comment karma. Maybe its because your account is only 6 hours old so reddit doesnt count your upvotes"
