Hey everybody.

I am not sure but it seems to me that on trezx's article the bottom 3 comments are all faked. All the accounts where made at about the same time, they seemed to have only commented and liked her post before never logging in again. Seems a little suspicious doesn't it?

and once again it seems that the top few people have a way larger view count than any other. It would seem to me that if 200+people who visited Ritesh's, at least a large number would visit every one else or a few of them. So therefore if you now have 10:1 external:internal views system, that in fact there have been 2000 views on Ritesh's article.

And finally I haven't checked recently but the top 4 from NOV competition weren't disqualified and are still top when they obviously cheated, but worse again it is the same people as last month that are cheating again this month.

Sorry about that rant but it all seems a little tainted to me.

Adrian.

it's weekend dude, what do you want them to trade? and they're not fake, they're fellow traders (i've lived in Japan and China). also it's the first month doing the article so look at my trading history and shut the hell up.

Also looking at Ghaieth's article, it has 26 comments, ok. but it is weird how madji creates his account comments 3 times and buggers off. same with hannachi, aminov and adder. Once agian just a weird coincidence or quite possibly cheating.

Just putting it out there for dukascopy to review and do what is necessary.

Hey no need to get angry I was just suggesting that it looked a bit suspicious that's all. I am sure Dukascopy will agree with you but we will see.

Good morning everyone!

Do not worry, we are monitoring the contest closely, putting all the things down. A couple of users were banned today, some fake comments were deleted.

Keep in mind that when the expert Committee reviews articles they take a look at many things, including purity of comments, behavior of that user, reports filed on him, etc. A user who is not acting fairly will never get excellent marks from the Committee. It turns out that in the end of the month even 1 Dukascopy point can be decisive. We use our rights to award the best authors. If there are two equally nice articles with equal number of points, we give preference to a more honest participant without any doubt.

I grant without a beat I promoted my article i Private messages. I did not know that this is a prohibited, it is? honestly I'm still not sure. If yes I'll be polite in future

Those articles were deleted. If you notice a violation, please use the special functions to report them. We do not want to have any "witch hunt" on our forum.

Dukascopy, I apologize for the using this venue for this. I wasn't aware of a button to report problems of this nature. I thought I had looked everywhere. Please feel free to delete my post if you believe it would keep the harmony in the community.

Jesus, Ghaieth is still at it, just look at the last 10 or so comments all people who've made account within 10 minutes, only commented on his article and then buggered off. Please just Ban these people, its obviously cheated. Between 21:06GMT and 21:34GMT he had 13 comments from faked accounts.

To continue, Maybe for someone to comment they must have been a member of dukascopy and participated for 1 month or something like that to fairen out the spam of new accounts. Thanks.

Nice suggestion.

The very fact that Ghaieth has 64 comments from 29 visitors show that mass comments are made from one computer only. Dukascopy should review this abuse.

Perhaps one of the best ways to fight this is to begin commenting heavily on the accounts that don't exhibit this type of behavior. Hint, hint, wink, wink

Just joking. I thought the suggestion about requiring a month long membership make sense. After all, the first posts you make here are checked!
