Pshhaisfest has been banned for reputation spamming

So who created the sock Pshhaisfest and then went on a reputation spree? I suspect they may be of the conservative persuasion.

If he/she was banned for reputation clicks, there are probably others that should be banned.
I do think you're trying to be fair in regards to running this forum.

Let's see. They created they name and then gave out a total of 377 minus/pluses. We will say that each minus/plus takes 15 seconds on average, as they would need to navigate to the user profile they want to spam, view their post history, click on each post, give the vote, then go back a few times, click the next post, etc etc... then go to the next user they want to spam, repeat, etc...

So 377 votes * 15 seconds per vote = 5,655 seconds they spent doing this

5,655 / 60 = 94.25 minutes = Roughly an hour and a half

Who is so concerned with reputation points that they spend an hour and a half of their time gaming the system?

Flagrantly giving out pluses or minuses for personal reasons is one thing, but creating a name with the sole intention of doing this (they never posted anything) is another.

IPs should tell the story.

(Numerically, at least the pos/neg numbers were close to even.)

Who'd they give likes and dislikes to? Can you tell that?

I am not able to see who gives what to whom.

You run things and you have to do what you need to do.
They obviously were abusing the system.

Well, that's too damn bad!

I can't see their IP unless they post something. If there is a way to simply see an IP that was used at the time of sign up, I haven't found it yet.

I know I was a plus 19 yesterday and am a minus 20 today, so I suspect 39 of the negatives went to me. I noticed that salinsky was even yesterday and is now negative 30 today, so there is another 30 negatives. Haven't really noticed any change in any one else's numbers yet today.

*edit: You were positive yesterday and are now negative.

The plot thickens. Click on "Memberlist" and then sort it by last visit. Scroll down and look for a user with 0 posts. The first one you see will be Pshhaisfest. Notice their last visit time.

Who spends over an hour in the wee hours of the AM gaming the reputation system?

Taint me. I get my beauty sleep. God knows I need it!

Boards, mine was +16 or so this morning and is now -6.
The same thing happened yesterday..up and down. But I think this morning there has been more activity.

Someone who doesn't have a life and can't sleep?

Will, under their statistics you should be able to see other IPs that he/she has posted under.

Well we can't say for certain. If he gave me negatives then he's a scum with no life. But on the other hand, if he gave me positives then I think we may have misjudged him.

You're -4 --he couldn't have been helping you much. lol.

Oh, Bob--I did give you a like yesterday when Joani suggested we should help you out. Not sure that helped much either cause I think someone started giving you dislikes...
And then someone started disliking Joani.

Thanks, neko. These scum that give me negatives should be waterboarded.

Well for right now--you're more liked than I am. -4 is actually pretty damn good for you, recently!

I think this thing is as rigged as the 2000 Florida election. We need to look at the chads and see if they're dangling.

I can see the smile on your face

Hey you're up to 0 now!
