i wonder what people think about this method, let me explain:
some users are suspected to make new pretend users in order to respond to their own posts in a positive way, whether it be a party promotion thread, a top 10 post, or even in other sections.
most of the time anyone can tell that this is being done, the "new" user has a low post counter and if u notice they only post comments regarding the primary user's posts. some users are wiser and go about posting in other sections randomly.
in extreme circumstances there are ways to investigate if absolutely neccesary, as to the originator of the post.
what do u think about this? lame? or is the old statement of: "if u wanna do something right, do it yourself" apply here?
by the way, this isnt anything new, just happening alot lately here.

Kind of crass.
Seems like ur frontin somethn which isnt right. But if all u wann do is promote then 'HEY!! Whatever floats ur boat!!"
Wit most people havin been to a lotta parties n can differentiate between a good one and a crappy one doesnt really matter.
AS for the TOP TEN??
Most of the damn trax are either Unreleased or if they have been ive never heard of them!!

they should know that real positive promotion and success comes from beautiful events with good intentions. if they are so insecure and feel the need to congratulate themselves publicly they should probably be seeing a psychologist.

It happens also in the c.d review section.
Ppl open up new usernames and post positive reviews about themselves.
It's funny how ppl think they are not spotted.

I guess it’s a problem that some people are so desperate for recognition. Sad and pathetic, but basically I think it’s their own problem.
Let the moderators to decide what to do with it. Personally I think they should just ignore it - there are enough “killah” comments already, and a few more won’t harm anyone…

Tha same case is when people post a Top 10 or a Party info, and ask for people for posting on the thread, sounds really pathetic, anyway, i just laugh when i read and that's OK, no problem with that.
we are one. |

Don't forget who open this thread .
The moderators looks for solutions , but I don't think there is any solution for this.
BTW , moderators u can know for sure which user have 2 or more names ? how ? |
