RE: Abuse Report! Too Many Coincidences!

in OCD2 months ago

Quite interesting. There are some things here which are suspicious (the div/diva thing I could attribute to autocorrect, but the emojis and similar writing styles... not as much).

There are some users who have multiple accounts, even self-admitted, and I think that as long as none of it is plagiarized or repeated from account to account, there's nothing wrong with this. You can create multiple accounts on any social media website, and there's no reason to penalize that on Hive either.

Frankly, with this amount of activity, I'd be very impressed by someone who's able to create so much unique content. A big kudos if this is the same person doing it all - as long as it is all original.

Sort:  

he div/diva thing I could attribute to autocorrect,

This mistake was not just for one post, but for months in all three accounts (Iska/sabrina/edy) and they fixed this mistake on two of the post in the same day while on the third after a week. And never did it again. If it was just one or two posts then it could be a coincidence but if it was for 100s of posts?

There is nothing wrong with having multiple accounts. In some cases, it has many advantages. But if the multiple accounts are created just to deceive people and gain just rewards then it is an abuse, especially if they pretend to be someone else and then write spun-looking articles.

On the amount of activity. They have abandoned their @adystringz account a long time ago, the activity on @iskafan and @ikawrites have almost gone to zero now (as they are likely leaving Hive and powering down almost everything).

But while the activity on the above accounts went down the activity on her @sabrinah account went through the roof.

Ah, I see. The timing's rather coincidental there.

The use of multiple accounts to deceive people isn't good; however, I'm still on the fence if it's still involving production of unique content on each account. I'll copy something I wrote on another comment in this post:

"Reasoning, and I'm using the logic of HSBI's founder here: if someone is using AI to the degree that it's not easily detectable, then they'll put a substantial amount of time into learning the tool and using it to enhance their writing, which frankly takes at least as much effort as the writing itself. That's actually an admirable use of AI, especially if it improves the readability of the article."

I'd still like to see the retort of the users mentioned before I make a final decision. This is definitely a situation that's worthy of careful weighing.

I appreciate the context you've provided!

One of the accounts made a lengthy comment. It looks like they are talking on behalf of all the accounts. https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@iskawrites/re-anonyi-skyf0j

After a period of dormancy this account came forward while the active account didn't say a word after all this. Can you still not see it, Sir? (Let us wait more maybe @sabrinah will come back to reply)

And I am not against using AI to enchance your posts. But making multiple accounts to write with multiple accounts in the same community (keep in mind some of the communities have strict rules of posting just one post a day or posting from just one account, hence breaking those rules). Also, deceiving a lot of people with these accounts for months.

Fair enough, and thank you for linking this! Going to take a look.

What a crapshoot of a comment from iskawrites, sheesh 😂

Clearly some personal stuff going on there that's beyond my realm and interest...
