Bravoing others - any REAL rules?

crustylady — Sat, 15 Jan 2022 18:47:10 GMT

I have a question based on something I've noticed.

Why is it that there are some users who particularly Bravo each other way, WAY more than other users?

I especially see this with 2 members; someone by the username of S--S and another with the username Pkaraa.

One member accounts for almost 1/3 of the other ones Bravos and the other accounts for about 1/2 of the other ones Bravos.

If this is allowed to this extent, why doesn't everyone do it?

@crustylady - I am sure other members are doing it too, regardless of the quality or content of the post.

@crustylady I am looking at S--S numbers. In fact, S--S and walker1 are friends too

@crustylady

Great question. Members should not game the reward system. PM knows about this issue and is working on a solution. For the time being, just report those members if you find them.

Welcome to PM and saving!

Have a better and better days...

EDIT:

BTW, the bravo button is no longer on the posts on The Lounge board.

@softech - I happened upon this post weeks ago.

How do you know this particular accusation is true?

EDIT: quoted wrong post.

@esjliv

they are likely real accounts...both are real persons.

but it happens that couple nights I was there.. I see Og keep giving tp straight bravos within the half hour, In fact, I think it trigger the bravos lock (like 100 or 50 bravos within a certain time), and I see it stopped but it come back more bravo after an hour

Also, do you know you can check what post a person bravoed on? it is a very easy way to see

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/kudos/userpage/user-id/136049/tab/messages-kudoed-by-user

It was around end of Nov

16 pages of straight bravos, bravoing tp post for the couple weeks within an hour or 2.

but tp didn't bravos back og.. so, intention of og is unknown, but it did inflated tp stats of that month

also, in the old Community before this facelift, you can see what exact time and minute someone bravos a post (i think it is removed now, now you can only see the date they bravo.. not the hour and minute )

Would @Anonymous & @pkaraa like to weigh in - I'm sure the community would be very receptive to hearing from them.

There are no particular rules regarding Bravos but PM and Oracles are frowning against 'gaming the system'. Meaning giving each other Bravo for every single post... More Bravos higher up you are on the ladder for bigger Community reward. It is all about money, quantity over quality.

@crustylady

I wouldn't think either will post on this thread, but don't be surprised if one or the other contacts you via private message.

🙄🙄🙄

@Community_QA and @crustylady You'll find that there are some people who apparently only log in here to bravo only one or two users and they've never posted anything themselves... 🤔

@crustylady thanks for starting this topic about S--S and Pkaraa.

I started looking deep into S--S , then I found Walker1 as I said above.

Then I looked further into Walker1 profile and look like this is a much bigger organization.

I found an account that posted nothing at all but just bravos. Can we say it is a fake account for someone:

who is the real identity for @fletcher ? Who would have created such fake account?

SS gave 770 Bravo's to Pkaraa

Pkaraa gave 770 Bravo's to SS.

Likely same person.

Re: Bravoing others - any REAL rules?

dabr — Sat, 15 Jan 2022 19:47:08 GMT

@BeachNBeer I don't believe they're the same person based upon the writing styles...also I think your numbers for bravos given by SS to the other user is incorrect... 😊

@dabr @BeachNBeer @crustylady

Bravo given out and bravo received

I'm sure there are, @dabr

I'm also pretty sure many regulars around here purposely have other community accounts tied to other user accounts as well, and there's nothing wrong with that, so long as they're not gaming the system.

What's painfully obvious is how the two users originally mentioned (maybe they're best friends or close relatives???) blatantly game the "system", yet no one within Public Mobile seems to really care.

Heck, one of them even gets a personalized Avatar - so the message seems to be that they reward this kind of community behaviour with perks.

Why is that?

@Community_QA I do believe this discussion will either soon disappear or get "Lounged" 😁

@dabr Why? Because we cannot discuss the truth? or PM is behind those small number of special member here?

does @CS_Agent well aware of this? how about the manager? what is her name again?
