Every time I see the word Hysteria I instantly think of Def Leppard. Great song!

Hysteria!

Oh, that's all the new members? I would have thought there'd be more.

No, not all new members are considered scammers. Either you did something shady and got put on a watch list, or you got put on one by mistake. It happens, sometimes. Talk to whoever's list you made. It's like antivirus; nothing's perfect, and sometimes you get false positives or false negatives.

Gotta say, just on the face of it, you manage to look like an alt account. Perhaps that's what happened.

Hey, even I got considered a scammer for some reason. I didn't care that much, the frequent visitors know better.

Doesn't have the emotion and wonderful melody and lyrics of Hysteria though. As much as I love AC/DC, Def Leppard pretty much destroys them as song writers.

Good song, never did hear the album. They're always a bit of a hit or a miss those guys. Loved their first album.

he looks like a standard aussie troll to me. but basically any new account made during the summer sale or the launch of witcher 3 is rather suspicious.

Pyromania was way better than High & Dry. Of course, both of them were way better than anything they put out after.

Pfft what a cliché thing to say. Pyromania/Hysteria are classics by all meaning of the word but Slang was their best album. Great lyrics, lots of variety and a great heavy sound! Euphoria/Songs From The Sparkle Lounge and the covers album Yeah! was also extremely solid. (It was also great tours!)

I do enjoy High & Dry but it's a bit shallow for my cup of tea. I like a bit of good ol NWOBHM but I prefer the later stuff when they mixed the metal with melody. Much more pleasant sound and sounds great live!

Don't know if it's an alt, but he's definately a troll. All he ever does is troll and insult people.

Well technically its not an alt but I don't know what you would call such an account since aka [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gogfix_the_rep_or_delete_my_account_now/post334]gunsynd gave away his main account.

Oh what the shit is this... So after his tantrum he gave away is account... to start a new account... to troll people? I don't even...really?

It's actually pretty simple, especially July and August start dates. That is when one of our recent scammers and nutters starting making dozens of alt accounts after getting caught winning 3 games from the same giveaway with 3 different accounts.

The greedy jerk then used these accounts to enter every giveaway multiple times.
Hence, any new accounts from that time are more likely the same scammer than someone new.

While it may not be true in your case (or you may still be a nes alt), it doesn't really matter.
Not working in your favor either is how you are worried about being derepped and a scammer, yet since July you have 27 rep. That is very unlikely if you've been derepped so much...makes people think you may be part of the alt brigade because they were repping each other up.
