This is an Open confession for all my friends and users who always trusted me here on BBS!  

Contents of post :

  1. My confession
  2. Unexpected responses of @Nocontrol and @0xReclamation
  3. Involvement of Eyal
  4. What to do if your account is frozen too?

I firstly want to start with, "Doing any kind of fraud is never justifiable, and what i did was totally wrong", and everyone who reads this is free to criticize me in the comments below. However before doing that i would suggest to read this post entirely.

I never intended to harm the BBS project or the community ever, i found out a way to commit impression fraud and got carried away into using it (Which was obviously not the right thing to do!). 

However as you all know, here on BBS everything is transparent, and my account was frozen for it. It does not matter who you are, if you commit a fraud, you will be facing problems for it.

[Context : Any account that commits impression fraud is made to pay back the entire amount he/she has gained through the fraud, back to the BBS team in some way to get back the frozen account] 

With my frozen account i first decided to reach out @Nocontrol.

She did asked me if i had committed the fraud, to which i obviously replied yes!
However the problem was, most of the BBS that i have earned was staked by me. I did not had access to it, so i couldn't pay it back to the BBS team.

I wanted my account back, it really meant a lot to me. But i was totally broken as i knew i couldn't payback the entire amount by myself. It was a mistake of mine and i couldn't lie to all my friends here on BBS about it, so i decided to rather accept my mistake to you all publicly and just buy back all of my posts with the Banters i had left and leave the platform.

However, to my own surprise @Nocontrol helped me to know my value in this community. I wish i could share the beautiful words she said, but i don't feel it is right to do so privacy wise. I truly respect her, we can have no better admin than her,  i'm sure about it. Her helping hand to me, specially when i had done a fraud was completely unexpected and shows her kind and forgiving behavior. She decided to give me an another chance😊❤️❤️.

The biggest surprise to me was, when i told her about my BBS staking problem and i couldn't payback the amount, she offered to make that payment on behalf of me so i could continue in this community. It was such a heartwarming  moment for me, I just felt so much relived to hear that. Offcourse i couldn't take that money from her and had to deny it.

I really really cant thank you enough @Nocontrol for your help. You were my inspiration to not leave the BBS platform and rather try to get my account unfrozen. The extend to which you work hard to help each and every community member here always unbelievable.

If you are reading this, once again thank you😊❤️❤️.  A comment of you on this post would mean a lot to me!

Next to find some solution to my problem, i decided to contact 0xReclamation (METABBS admin).

Once again here i had a totally heart warming experience, It was a mistake of mine, still he helped me out in every way possible he could.

Inorder to get my account unfrozen, i needed to make a report of the incident along with the monitory refurbishment. However i was really hesitant to provide a report as i was afraid, it could be used against me. I requested 0xReclamation if i could talk to Eyal before making the report to could ensure i wouldn't face any problems due to it in future.   

Once again to my surprise, 0xReclamation had talked to Eyal about it, I got a message from Eyal that it would be safe to create a report on same evening. That was such an unexpected situation. I really can't thank you enough @0xReclamation, without your efforts and help i would have been never been able to convince myself to make the report. Thank you for providing me the precious time from your already busy schedule.

Also, Thank you Eyal for your message, I really cant explain my feelings. A founder of a project is never seen to engage into the community this much. Your interactions here on BBS are a major reason the users are gaining more and more trust towards the DEVS and the future of the project. 

This incident totally shows how much a single user is valuable to the BBS team. The founder of the project, Admins and mods are working real hard to ensure a perfect healthy community.

My account was unfrozen once i paid back the amount i had gained from illegitimate means.

Closing thoughts : We all users here are really important to BBS. They work real hard for us to have a smooth experience. So please do not involve in frauds, its very easy to spot and you will never be able to cashout the amount anyways! Also, if you ever did some fraud, be brave enough to accept it. Because  acceptance is the first step of improvement. I had tried my best to rectify my past mistakes, I am really sorry for what i did @eyal, @Nocontrol,  0xReclamation and all my friends here.

I would really love to know what you all feel about all this, how bad of a impact this will have on my reputation here on BBS. I felt its important to let out the truth to everyone here! Feel free to comment down below your genuine feeling.

I'm personally feeling much better after letting the truth out❤️😊😊.

Follow this if your account is frozen :

  1. Contact the METABBS admin @0xReclamation
  2. If your account has quality engagement, and is not purely created for fraud, you may be allowed to go through an appeal process!
  3. Make sure you are truthful and accept your ill behavior so you do not waste their time. (Lying there will just complicate things)
  4. You will be asked to wait for 2 weeks so they can monitor your account. If everything feels back normal, you will be asked to pay back the entire amount you gained through the fraud plus some extra as fine.
  5. On successful payment, your account will be unfrozen.
