oh well.... another sad update.. the SIMPLE MINDS WHO ARE TRYING TO RUIN THIS GREAT CONTEST are getting more and more absurd....
after "astroboyu" gifted 5 POP POINTS to rahul all alone, yesterday in the afternoon, by adding up 50 comments in 10 minutes, another FANBOY came to play now.
user "Horacio".
this one really seems to be the smartest of all up to now. not only that he is also serial commenting, he also uncovers his purpose open in the comments and he is also making a joke out of it. i can recall in june that one of rahuls fanboys got immediately BANNED for exactly the same reason. comments like:
"i will have to have a break", "page three finsihed", "splash", "run, forrest, run", "oops", "hihihihihihihihi", "huhuhuhuhuhuhu", "hahahahahahaha" "blah" "run run run" .
very interesting also 4 comments in 4 trades in a row: "i want", "your prize", for this", "hard work"
just watch the screensshot:

here you find the complete list of "Horacios" manipulation in rahuls blog as an UNCUT LIVE FEED PDF which also shows the time stamps and how focussed this COMMENT SPAMMING was:
https://www.2shared.com/document/Lqayo_E ... SHORT.htmli use the LIVE FEED to prove this because it shows nicely how focussed these actions are and how narrow the time frame is in which they take place. you get a nice overview. i am pretty sure, that DUKASCOPY also has these opportunities, but probably it is too late, putting the TROLLS too late on "manual watch". in case of user "pistek" for example i dont think that anybody is watching this user at all, as he continues to throw dirt on my AND DUKASCOPY.
well, anyway the proof of the RANKING MANIPUALTIONS is NOW PUBLICLY VISIBLE,, RIGHT HERE and also still in the blogs!
these comments are inacceptable, like the speed commenting adding up 250+ comments per round to one contestant in a few minutes.user VietCurrency for example received like that around 700 comments. without these he would not even be in the TOP TEN!but the madness does not stop here because DUKASCOPY does not stop these users.
massively appearing users like "errica", "swingterminator", "Horacio" and of course "astroboyu" have the potential to destroy the meaning that this community and the voting system used to have.
DUE TO HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS OTHER USERS and the fact that he does not visit other blogs (which is totally his right to do so) rahul had 3 weeks in this contest ZERO POPULARITY POINTS. a lot of visitors, but almost nobody wanted to leave comments ot whatsoever. i guess he knows that this is hommeade and he also does not have a problem with this.
i am also pretty sure that rahul does not care about that nor does he make these manipualtions on his own or even wants them. i guess to him it is a nice conformation about what he said already a few weeks ago that without any sincere control by DUKASCOPY or at least a more secure account generating this voting system IS A JOKE.
now, after these MASSIVE manipualtions the contest gets TRULY UNFAIR: without this basic layer of around 120 comments or so, that rahul receieved form "astroboyu" and "Horacio" yesetraday in a matter of minutes he would not be able to grow his popularity that fast in the last 4 days of the contest. every true comment and voting adding up now helps much more than it did before.
so without participating in the community and due to the manipulations of 2 users, place 2 and 3 already got scrambled.THIS IS NOT FAIR. and i dont think rahul hismelf does really want that.
his trading potential is large enough to cope without this kind of stuff! but as long as we have rules and 4 ranking columns, if one ignores them, like rahul, he should also try to win this contest without for example POPULARITY points. he should not be gratified by allowing such manipulations to influence the RANKING.
another example.... or lets call it an ordered manipulation... here we have even the case that user "belikewater" directly after recognizing the MASSIVE COMMENT MANIPULATIONS made in the TOP TEN by "astroboyu" ASKS for some manipulation and also receives a promt anwser of "astroboyu".
after this dialogue:

the following happend, "belikewater" receievd dozens of comments from "astroboyu" pumping his score up. here you see the list as an UNCUT LIVE FEED PDF:
https://www.2shared.com/document/t4UI4MX ... WATER.htmlas belikewater is a funny guy, always making jokes, sometimes nice ones, i think he did not mean to order the MANIPULATION.
but "astroboyu" delievered it showing another absurd aspect of all this CRAP.
ARE THE OTHER USERS JUST SLEEPING or dont you just care if you lose ranks or points or MONEY due to SUCH MASSIVE MANIPULATIONS?
or are you feared to tell your opinion, because these TROLL MANIACS will start to attack you LIEK THEY ARE ALREADY ATTACKING ME and also like "astroboyu" already did yestarday with "HelenaExpert" just because she came to my blog to comment????
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THESE FEW TROLLS DESTROY EVERY MEANING OF THIS COMMUNITY?
HOW CAN IT BE THAT THESE USERS ARE STILL ONLINE AND NOT BANNED?i understand that this is a new situation for the DUKASCOPY team, because the HATING TROLLS never manipulated to this extent like they do it now. it just seems like the possibilty to block users has enforced this behaviour. all started after i blocked several users. so, because they have lost the possibilty to satisfy their malicious thoughts in my blog they have found this way TO SHOW THE HATE THEY PROVIDE:
but the problem is, that a lot of other user ranks also get influenced ONLY BECAUSE THE SICK TROLLS HATE ME.
i dont see the slightest possibilty for other TOP TEN competitiors who try to stick to the rules and who dont have the luxury of having fanboys like rahul has who also appear to be my haters and act truly on their own. the other TOP TEN contestants dont have anybody who pumps their blogs and POP RANKING up with "blah" and "hahahahahahah" and "finished page 3" comments!
doing just nothing might be wrong understood, DUKASCOPY. that looks like if DUKASCOPY is not really interested in a fair voting and commenting which i really cannot imagine.
this contest has 15K of prize money. for some contestants here this is a lot of money. so, if the users have the feeling that they cant even reach one of the smaller paid places without MANIPUALTIONS, this whole thing will end up as a BIG JOKE.
up to now it was a gorgeous contest, but leaving the control to the TROLLS could very quickly destroy this. if all this is too much fuzz, then better extract the voting next month totally. but then you wont have any interaction anymore. and why killing the voting- and commenting system instead of eliminating just THE TROLLS?
the community its a basic core idea in this concept. should it be closed only because some individuals really dont have a life and find satisfaction in such manipulative hating operations? that would be sad. there must be different ways to treat this. at least when there is obvious evidence swift consequences ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
and of course only very few of the 1100 contestants are SUCH RESPECTLESS POOR SIMPLE MINDS like these trolls. maybe we have a dozen or so right now. why cant you just ban their IP ADRESSES? in fact there are only a few who causing this problem and disturbing 1100 other contestants!
there are enough contestants who want real discussions. there are enough traders who try to learn also by discussing. why destroying this opportunity due to inactivity regarding the TROLLs?
considering all these MANIPUALTIONS in the final evaluation is a logical consequence, but the effects of the TROLLs harm already the image of the contest itself.
THAT IS HORRIBLE. i guess the only way to solve this problem is to immediately BAN THESE MANIPULATORS and also watch their IPs! and of course also work on the relaunch of the registration process.
for a contest being about a lot of money it seems to be much too easy to register and use several fake accounts. it seems like these guys open them in seconds!
just my thoughts...
kind regards
