Puppets......what is this about puppets.......dirty little secret #2



So what is this about puppets. Well hotcomm has a feature they call puppets. The purpose of the feature is two fold.

1. To allow a small room to pretend it has more people then they really do...well shoot any room that is, they just have to ask and have it turned on.

2. To allow these puppets the ability to ask questions, planned quesitions so the moderator can answer them and look like they know what they are talking about.

I have the room called TradersParadise in relay on hotcomm and a private room on hotcomm....we have had visitors and since this private room is password protected and we use it for private business......it doesn't take much to set me off after what happen on August 24, 2004 but that is another blog. Unless you want to answer what happened in advance....

So I guess the question is how many on these are floating around in your room and why.....for body count....why........why not show us that your puppets is also turned off as it says in the email from hotcomm......about TradersParadise and the private room.......


How many are there......and I have a list from previous emails also if you need additional help in determining how many there actually are.....since each moderator can make these puppets up........How many ....How many........

Are you going to come clean on the rest of it....or do you need help in cleaning your soul......

Could this mean that Woodie is really just one of Samsons puppets. His mouth does move in a funny manner.

It really is the truth. Everyone having HC installed can access the Hotcomm API and actually you can use a simple VB or VC program to setup as many puppets as you like, as the routines are part of the HCUtil.dll, which is included with every HC installation

This is a good example of a puppet in action, this happened today 04/26/05 and as soon as it happened, I knew it was a setup.
It is in the logs, but I still do not understand, how in the logs, we can get differant time stamps on the same conversation which apparently is pasted.

Logs are as follows:
12:15:28 {JMR} I paid $3,000 for an online trading course, which was trash. This site is much better than the course. New traders save your money and stay here.
Thanks JeanYus.
12:17:19 {JoAnne} JMR... good advice, but something everyone must learn (the hard way), unfortunately. As the old addage goes, "The best things in life ... are free".
12:17:57 {JMR} True JoAnne

Now, JMR never posted anything, all day except above.
Also such posting by either real puppets or real people puppets is illegal as it is designed to falsely market their agenda for money !
You may draw your own conclusions.

Now I know how it is done, I have heard that type of comments hundred of times, and once I tried to pm the nick that made that comment, when pm's were allowed , since I wanted to find out which seminar it was, and strangely the nick disappeared, now i know why. It was a puppet.
Of course now, the pm's are disabled, to make sure that you cannot find out. What a riot.
Cheers

hmm, this sounds familiar in a different way. One time I asked about the wifi setup at the TAl and got a canned answer every time I used the key word, wifi, or some such word.

The feature was turned off right after that.

Now it makes sense what was going on.

very interesting...

I've often wondered about the gio puppets. For example, gio is gone most of the day from the room, making no posts. None of her entries were ever posted early in the morning, as usual. It turns out to be a huge trend day, although that was not obvious until perhaps after lunchtime.

Out of the blue someone asks "I bet gio was in at the very bottom of this rally." Hmmm, who cares, I think, she isn't even here today.

Then, amazingly a few minutes later out pops gio, to answer the puppet. "Yes, of course I went long right at the low of the day on the HTLB on the 30 min all session this morning, +150 already, thanks for asking."

The puppet show in action.
