I haven’t myself noticed a lot of new accounts other than ones I’ve already reported as likely-Eugines, and one other that I’m keeping an eye on—you might want to ask OrphanWilde, who is the one who reported seeing a lot of new accounts.
When I do notice new accounts it’s simply by seeing things in the “Recent Comments” written by users whose names I don’t recognize.
(If mods don’t have a tool for listing recently created accounts, that should go on whatever monstrous wishlist we have for LW features...)
I watch the new comments list, primarily, and check usernames I don’t recognize for posting histories.
Over the past week a larger-than-normal number of new accounts have appeared; none of them have exhibited Eugine’s usual behaviors, so thus far I’m just observing. If they have a tendency to write until they reach 10 karma and then stop, well, they’re probably silent puppets.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve forwarded it to tech support.
How do you find new accounts?
