Oakdice Fake Vouches

http://www.sythe.org/members/441398-oakdice.html

A few months ago, this user was banned for large quantities of fake vouches.

It seems Oakdice is also obtaining large quantities of fake vouches. Just going through his vouch thread there is an unrealistic amount of users who vouched him and went inactive minutes later, never to be seen again on Sythe.

This is ONLY the first 5 pages of his vouch thread.

Please note I only included vouches/accounts that were created around the time or on the day of the first time they vouched Oakdice. Most if not all of these profiles were never active again and if they were, only vouched again for Oakdice yet again. I also only did this based off of the replies posted on his vouch thread, not all of his vouches, although it seems basically everyone who had to vouch him posted on his vouch thread as well, which is something else very uncommon and not normally seen. If I had included other profiles that never came online again after vouching him or old profiles that suddenly became active again just to vouch him, there would be more.

Based on the fact that there is 99 replies to his vouch thread (20 per page excluding the main post which is his), the percentage of what seems to be fake vouches is pretty incriminating.

The total above is 48. This is BARELY under half of the 99, roughly a staggering 47.52% of his vouches in the first five pages ALONE.

There are dozens of active users, clans, and goldselling websites on Sythe.org that are equally and usually more trusted than he is, but for some reason none of their vouch pages look like this?

It's fairly obvious that Oakdice has been using fake vouches very similar to the way that Rsgoldmarkt was doing so months prior. However in this case i'd even go as far as to assume Oakdice is aware this is happening while Rsgoldmarkt was not. Rsgoldmarkt's argument is that he wasn't aware they were fake because by the time they started taking place, he was already a fairly large business and couldn't keep track of which transactions took place between him/his workers and which didn't. Oakdice's vouches however have been taking place since the day he made his vouch thread and opened his services on Sythe. He would've easily been able to recognize these fake "transactions" weren't taking place but has been using these fake vouches for months. Due to this I feel it stands to reason that Oakdice is either well aware of the fake vouches/transactions being left and is using them to gain trust anyways, or is even responsible for them in the first place.

This is even taking place currently. Let's take a gander at the last page of his vouches, shall we?

As you can see the trend still continues today, months later, with 9 of the current 15 posts on his last vouch page appearing to be fake. All of these profiles either never come back after vouching him/posting on his threads, or only come back again to give him another vouch. Not post on any other market threads or anything, another factor that strongly points towards these people being non-existent.

I feel the evidence above is more than enough to prove Oakdice has been using fake vouches since Day 1. It seems not in the history of Sythe has anyone received so many seemingly fake vouches in such a short period of time, until him.

 

Just for the record, this was investigated months ago and mods couldn't conclude that any fake vouching was taking place. I'm going to have oakdice provide proof for many of these vouches and act accordingly

 

Oakdice provided proof of older vouches already so I asked him to provide proof of newer vouches that were flagged as particularly suspicious and he was once again able to do so. I've posted the pictures in staff lounge since they contain rsn's.

I've also spoken to him regarding site rules for rewarding vouches and he has agreed not to violate the rules in that way again
