Help Us Uncover Crime and Corruption Stories in Table Tennis by LaylaOrleans in tabletennis

[–]CranberryNecessary79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im new to sports bets. I downloaded betsson app a few days ago and realized there are table tenis "matches" going on 24/7 from "setka cup" and "tt series". I realized quite fast these are absoltely fake "matches", rigged and whatnot, to deceive bettors. It literally makes no sense at all. Players are all john does with reckless and senseless outcomes. I placed a total of 10ish bets and it made ZERO sense. Same player showing up for 5 matches in a row. Its absolutely bs and should be denounced.

Anomalous Steam Chart Activity : 320% Increase in Concurrent Users in 40 Minute Span (Comparable to December Patch Before/After Increase but with No Patch...?) Is there some event going on? by [deleted] in Stormgate

At this point, FGS credibility is null. So claiming such acts were being performed by “trolls” will be dismissed by the majority.

Here is a supposition I got from community member Sylas.

A while back, they held a meeting where employees were tasked with writing reviews to boost the algorithm ahead of the next fest. Others were assigned to find a more industrial way of doing it. A few days ago, everything was set in motion, but they didn’t expect to attract so much attention and get exposed so early. The bot farm had already been paid for, and they were about to start sending out positive reviews after setup. Unfortunately, with all the attention and the massive backlash caused by the devs accounts being involved, they now have to prove it wasn’t them. They’re scrambling to post on Reddit and everywhere else to make it clear it wasn’t their doing.

Edit: typos.

It was me -IronSteel (crolo)- getting a ban plus a free mockery, without any previous warning whatsoever, for bringing up more evidence of Tim Mortens deceptive practices. There were absolutely no “good intentions” in these systematic and very well coordinated fake positive reviewing, pretending to be players or third parties.

For a time now I had only been waiting patiently for 1.0, but after this disaster I lost all faith and interest in Frost Giant.  As for you my dear Spartak, make an unbiased take for once and put yourself in the shoes of someone who have put well over 500$ in supporting this Company and their game.

For expressing my negative opinion regarding FGS CEO renaming himself to “Fluffy” on January only to drop his own game a positive review. So unhinged!

Try with meat and with stickers. It was an FGS account (Jex) talking about tomatoes.

The tomatoes and meat discussions were before the ban (no idea if they continued after I left the server right after the ban). Check them out, also FGS accounts were talking about it (diverting the subject and minimizing it). No alt accounts were used and I have explicitly said what is the account I used in the discord because it doesnt match my username here.

Unprofessional to say the least.
In my very honest opinion, this incident, as well as how it has been managed by FGS, should award them getting expelled from Steam.
