Fair enough. If there's people out there posting from multiple accounts mainly to get more rewards from unknowing curators they should definitely be checked upon. It's one thing to post many times per day on your own account and give curators the decision how much they wanna reward it or how consistently they post that often, another to try and hide that fact that they're the same person profiteering from multiple accounts.

Actually many of the linked accounts I've found are totally open about the fact they are the same person. And some have set up multiple accounts to engage in different projects, so it's not totally deceptive.

Okay yeah that should be fine, I guess the issue then is if they're being overrewarded for what they do/don't do compared to others.

Yes, but it's also the fact that they use their different accounts to guarantee themselves votes so they know what level of rewards they'll receive each time they publish a post. I mean if I know I'm guaranteed $10 a post each time I post I may not care too much what effort goes into that post.

Yeah that's some of the issues autovotes/trails bring as I mentioned in the post, other than downvoting those posts which affect both the voters and author, we hope commentrewarder can attempt to send more rewards to both the author by casting bigger votes by the non-auto voters on the post and getting a share of the beneficiary rewards as a curator leaving a comment and getting upvoted by the author using the service.
