Question

Would fanning yourself with alternate accounts and giving yourself fan testimonials with alternate accounts be spamming the site ?

Answer 1

I was scrolling through here: http://openstudy.com/users/leader#/users/leader/testimonials

Answer 2

Well from what happened there I would say not lol @Conqueror If he got away with it I guess its fine.

Answer 3

It would be considered as
Don;t game the system! Keep medals and achievements valuable, so please avoid:
Participating in "Medal Parties", which are questions specifically designed to inflate the medal count of the users who are participating.
Creating multiple accounts, or colluding with friends to gain unearned medals or achievements.
Artificially inflating your stats in any other way.

Answer 4

Ok, because that account is controlled by @TheSmartOne and @confluxepic and those other ambis.

Answer 5

Just saying, so that I do not get involved with anything, I do not have access to that account.

Answer 6

That's not my account. @Conqueror

Answer 7

Oh, because I thought that the people who gave it testimonials were running it because they wanted to raise the account's teamwork score.

Answer 8

The moderators can just do a little IP check up to see who is really using that account.

Answer 9

IP Checks are not really effective...

Answer 10

Like @iGreen fanning himself on his alts? @iGreen. @greenlegodude57

@Conqueror I wonder why you failed to mention your brother? Probably a simple mistake. Lucky thing I came to help you out. :)

Answer 11

Haha, but iGreen did not make NEW accounts for the only purpose of fanning his main account. Pointing fingers isn't really helping you.

Answer 12

You might want to change your profile pic to the burned owl that @answermyquestions made for you.

Answer 13

I had fanned Leader and now I messed up his list with my troll name.

Answer 14

@GreenCat

I know no owl @AnswerMyQuestions made for me.

Answer 15

Actually conqueror made that when he "burned" me.

Answer 16

Erm. I made an alt called @OpenStudyMinion and fanned and gave a testimony. So should I undo that?

Answer 17

I didn't make that account just to give me a fan and testimonial...

Answer 18

You weren't trying to game the system, so it's ok for you to do it. @EclipsedStar

Answer 19

Oh okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Answer 20

Wouldn't that still be called gaming the system?

Answer 21

lol why worry?

Answer 22

I'm not worrying. Conqueror is.

Answer 23

But doing any of that would not be considered with 'spamming the site'...
