Noticed a pattern among some new accounts posting in aww.
u/DoggoDave
u/DoggoPupper
u/CaptainPupper
u/CatoDoggo
- Created 12-18 days ago
- only submissions are to aww
- Some have actual effort-comments while for others the highest upvoted comments are suspiciously low effort to have earned any upvotes at all. Maybe boosted by alt voting?
Similar low effort usernames remind me of u/Tri-Edge and u/Tri-Blade (also recent aww posters), though those two accounts are older and also post to SBBH and other places besides aww.

Hmmm...
If I had to guess...
Step 1:Spam gore(coordinated via Poal) to v/aww and create an envrionment of chaos/dissent/divide; false flagStep 2:Wait for executive action to take place which leads to gore being strongly shunned and v/aww worthy posts being made to drown out said gore.Step 3:Midst the gore and worthy posts, slip in undected by posting worthy content, thus seeming to be non-malicious; use the opportunity to farm ccp/scp; boost each other; create a brigade-capable set of accounts.Step 4:???Step 5:Profit.cc: @Crensch @KatHarzso @gabara @Vindicator @srayzie
Remember that ES expressed affinity for Poal and a probability of migrating there - he's been AWFULLY quiet the past week, no?

They don't seem to be doing anything wrong.

You sent out an email telling everyone to upvote in /v/aww as an experiment. That is vote manipulation and you know it.

Well I haven't checked the accounts in question, just posing a theory based on the premise of the main post.
That would be the entire point of a slow-game attempt at creating a brigade that doesn't look malicious up front - just saying.
Also a great opportunity to remind people of the gore spam being coordinated via Poal, in conjunction with the likelihood of ES being involved ;)

It's exactly what he's doing. Gabara is in on it if not the one who started it.
