The method they got me was very pointed, and not at all a coincidence. This was too random to be, oh he "filled out an application, hes the idiot", again this was directly pointed at an individual, could be individuals, in this case me.
This makes me think on some level, this is as I put it a much more pointed effort, by whoever they are at this site, to drive traffic to the site by acting like moles at other sites, that are highly frequented like this one. A carefully crafted plan to fight for the site they probably need very much.
This could be happening much more often, in a sense purging users (attempting too) from other sites to get them to there own.
I also suspect, some of the names which are listed below mine recently are not real people (some are obv., just guessing), but even they could be fabricated to make the site look more active then it is. Most net minds would see right through the stagnant appearance of the site in no time. Interestingly, the one guy below me in the "recently applied" section, with no real name added (my main problem here) is approved, with very little info put public like mine was.
They could be fabricating accounts to make site seem more active, while acting as moles at more popular/frequented sites to attempt to drive users in their direction essentially while acting like moles at places like here via underhanded tactics. Judging by the grammatical errors in the email and looks of how the #1 sponsor is Lock Poker Banner, they are in desperate times.
Just speculation of course, but I feel like this may be more whats going on here. They are acting like moles on sites like this, to angle people at their own site, to try and help maintain there business. Which by the looks of it is a dying.
Stay tuned, I would imagine their is more to come...
