[Report]Puppetspam in WDYLL Thread

Postby Idzequitch » Wed Oct 07, 2015 12:34 am

Hello, Moderation Team! I decided to have a short go at playing detective, and I found something interesting.
A few days ago, in the most recent version of the "What Do You Look Like Thread," I noticed a nation who, strangely enough, made his fourth career post on that thread. This one:

Some time later, I noticed a trend that about once per page, there was a nation making their first post ever in the WDYLL Thread, namely these:
South Africa and Namibia wrote:I'M THE WHITE ONE


The Brittish Isles wrote:i'm the black haired one

I have come to the conclusion that these nations are all controlled by the same user for a few reasons.
1. The pictures all portray a very similar style, and faces that are, perhaps, a little too perfect, model-like.
2. All of the images come from the same source website.
3. All have extremely similar signatures, noting their name, place of residence, and full supposed date of birth and the same grammatical errors.
4. All except the first have remained at only one post, signaling no attempt at further interaction. As if that one post was the purpose of their creation.

While I know that you are not in the habit of outing puppets, I think I have compelling evidence that these are all nations of the same user. It's an issue in a thread where the OP explicitly states "Don't post pictures that aren't you." Presumably, the single user cannot look as depicted in all of the posted images, and also presumably looks like none of them, meaning it all basically amounts to spam. I've not posted this in the spam thread due to the extensive nature of this post, but please do tell me if I made this judgment in error.

Yeah, they're all puppets of the same person, but I'm not going to waste my time warning them. The puppetmaster has about a zillion puppets, and like most of these, he creates the puppet, posts, and abandons it.

Somebody lied to you on the internet. You should probably shun them or something.

That's fine, I wasn't sure what would be done about it, if anything. But thank you for addressing the concern.

To be fair though, we can give a warning (or at least a 'knock it off') for spamming. As you can see here: viewtopic.php?p=17655304#p17655304
The Blaatschapen should resign
