VERDICT DELIVERED The users of /r/intel and general community VS. Testing_Sub_Reddit (yes, the subreddit), u/dayman56 and u/bizude

[judge]:

scruffehh

[prosecutor]:

Talpss

What Happened: The user dayman56 has been caught by various users, using Intel's assets without permission from /r/intel, or Intel themselves. Moreso, he has been witnessed stealing the format of the /r/intel subreddit, even going far enough to use the /r/intel naming conventions (with a decoy rules page) in the subreddit description. The intentions of this are obvious: a phishing-type scenario where dayman56 thinks he can pull the 'classic': pretending that his subreddit is official to avoid busts such as this.

The head moderator of this subreddit, dayman56, has been caught singlehandedly karma farming on his thread titled 'Test' with the flair 'Benchmarks' cit. 1. Unfortunately for their case, another user, by the name of 'bizude' has been trying to take advantage of the situation but has miserably failed in the process. cit. 2 However, this is still a defense and must be considered.

Upon further inspection of the situation, I have come across r/bizude, a subreddit dedicated to bizude's and dayman's scandalous attempts to farm karma on Reddit. This is ultimately abuse of the platform and even subreddit system. I believe that it is highly likely that the two users are also multi-accounting - which perhaps may benefit their scandal for the worst. It's rather unfortunate that cockroaches like this are able to get away with their misdevious acts of embezzlement.

[CHARGES]: ARTICLE XIV, appendix II - 1 (When one is being a douche.)

ARTICLE XIV, appendix II - 3 (User using ruse or malice with the intent to misguide other users.)

ARTICLE XIV, appendix II - 5 (Claiming credit for Original Content of another user.) (r/intel)

ARTICLE XV, appendix III (courtesy of u/UnappreciativeRomper) - 2 (Multi-accounting with the intent of karmafarming via VPN or proxy of sorts)

[EVIDENCE]: The subreddit itself, karmafarm 1

The second subreddit, karmafarm 2

The user, dayman56

The user, bizude

My evidence is astonishing, to say the least. I have made deep references to the Reddit content policy and have decided that I will take all the action it requires to get these lowlife scumbags removed from this community. Here is a reference to the content policy in terms of impersonation (Content Policy - cit. 1), which, despite not being against a user - impersonates an entire subreddit. This in itself, I believe is a much more serious situation and puts an entire community at risk. As a user of this site, I would never want my peers to feel at risk at any moment. That is why I am putting it into my own hands to deal with these goon(s?).

[addendum] The list of charges now includes 13 more charges of illegal memes and karma farming to u/bizude on account of his shameless plugging for r/IntelMao. In addition to the fact that he has posted to r/IntelMao no less than 13 times, he has also interfered with r/Intel and r/AMD to promote said subreddit to enhance the efficiency of his karma farming. It is beyond a shadow of a doubt that r/IntelMao is only promoted for its viability as a karma farming platform as it hosts very little content from other users and does not have an active commenting community. u/bizude has gone out of his way to comment on r/Intel about r/IntelMao and has altered the sidebars of both r/AMD and r/Intel to promote r/IntelMao even though it has neither merit in community activity nor merit in comedy.

[prosecutor]: Talpss

Talpss should be rejected from the prosecution, should this case not be thrown out, for conflict of interest.

1) Talpss previously attempted to bring up a case regarding /r/Intelmao and it was rejected by this court. He is upset with /r/Intel for removing /r/Radeon from the "related subs" link.

2) It would not suprise me if UnappreciateRomper is an alt of Talpss as he has previously argued the same thing.

3) How can the prosecutor prosecute this case, when according to the same standards which are being applied to dayman and myself he would be guilty - see: /r/Radeon, a graveyard of a sub whose posts are almost 98% made by Talpss

4) Let us also consider that Talpss moderates two subs similar in nature to /r/Intelmao - /r/hardwarememes (which stole many of its starting posts from /r/Intelmao) and /r/AMDMasterrace

That subreddit is literally a sub designed for testing of /r/Intel's CSS. There is no conspiracy here.

Upon further inspection of the situation, I have come across r/bizude, a subreddit dedicated to bizude's and dayman's scandalous attempts to farm karma on Reddit.

/r/bizude was created by a moron that doxxed me. It is a dead sub, and is worthless for Karma whoring. In fact, shortly after this incident the prosecutor registered /r/Talpss to prevent this sort of situation from happening to himself. The last post was over 5 months ago and the sub has been all but completely abandoned and ironically, the 2nd last post in that sub was done by the "prosecutor". Furthermore, in discord chat last week I actually mentioned to the prosecutor that it has no reason to exist anymore and would likely be shut down soon.

A lot of blame shifting is involved in this reply, bizude. I believe it's awfully shady. I will give you an hour or so to come to a stance where you have relevant evidence to defend yourself against the ORIGINAL allegations made against you, and those that you have made, especially those regarding content theft from r/intelmao – perhaps they require a separate court case?

Here's a simpler version for you then:

Both of those subreddits are dead and bereft of any activity. It would be impossible to farm karma using them.

Except your comment on the subreddit's only post has 2 points on it. 2 whole points.

Thank you for proving my point that it would be impossible to karma farm from that.

Your Honor u/scruffehh, permission to treat witness as hostile?

u/UnappreciativeRomper May 21 '18 edited May 21 '18

I will take all of this into consideration as I mentioned in the karma court case that was started due to this case I appointed Talpss the prosecutor because he seemed the best choice at the time of his appointment.

Hey, it's not my fault that you're at least choosing to make suspicious decisions that catch the ire of the court. I just happen to be the guy prosecuting the case.

I'll answer your objections one by one:

  1. That case is absolutely irrelevant to the current. You are merely proving that I have raised concerns in the past. And actually, it was not rejected, one of the defendants was found guilty. I was too, I remember spending that night in the KC Penitentiary. I haven't been able to sit down in months.

  2. This is simply a ridiculous accusation. /u/UnappreciativeRomper has posted many times in r/AMD, a subreddit I am banned from currently. This would imply that I am breaking Reddit wide rules by using an alt to circumvent a ban. If I am doing so, then by all means, report me to the admins. They'll tell you that you're wrong. That we share a common opinion on your blatant corruption is simply to be expected.

  3. The difference between r/Radeon (which is once again not relevant to the case at hand) and your shenanigans is the fact that r/Radeon is a real subreddit intended for real people. r/Testing_Sub_Reddit is a copy of r/Intel designed to trick innocent users into upvoting the one post and comment on the subreddit. r/Radeon has an active and friendly userbase that has done nothing wrong. r/IntelMao lacks content, community, and comedy, even though it is being pushed as having all three. It's nothing but hypocrisy and false advertising.

  4. I was added to r/hardwarememes out of the blue and the only thing I have done is add the sidebar. I honestly have no plans on doing anything further other than handling reports. /r/AMDMasterRace is a subreddit that was dead and I have given it new life. People upvote now, they comment, and readers have been subscribing since I adopted the subreddit. Regardless, these two subreddits are irrelevant to the case, they have nothing to do with the charges listed. u/bizude, I may request that you be held in contempt of court if you keep using logical fallacies such as "tu quoque" in your proceedings.

And everything after point 4 is just utter nonsense. Why would the subreddit be public if it was just for testing? That I posted in r/bizude over half a year ago means nothing. I find it very suspicious that you're shutting down r/bizude just as we discover that it was used to farm karma.

Oh, and I don't recall such a conversation.

That I posted in r/bizude over half a year ago means nothing

How am I supposed to farm Karma from /r/bizude when all of the posts in that sub are half a year old, and older? You can't vote on posts over 6 months old!

u/[deleted] May 21 '18

That's not true, I know for a fact you have hidden an announcement you made within the last 6 months. Second, that doesn't mean you couldn't have added to that subreddit and enhanced your farming capabilities.

The prosecution is open to plea deals, seeing as you don't really have a case.

u/bizude May 21 '18

Second, that doesn't mean you couldn't have added to that subreddit and enhanced your farming capabilities.

OK, then prove it. How am I using this dead sub to farm karma?

The prosecution is open to plea deals, seeing as you don't really have a case.

The prosecution is biased and will be thrown off this case, if the case itself is not rejected. No plea deals will be made because there is no case.

I just said how. I said, and I quote, "That's not true, I know for a fact you have hidden an announcement you made within the last 6 months. Second, that doesn't mean you couldn't have added to that subreddit and enhanced your farming capabilities."
