There is one poster with tripcodes, and (later) one without tripcodes.
They might be the same person.
This is possibly the authentic Q, having been 'locked out'.
This is also possibly a fake/DS 'Q', trying to undermine our faith in Q - both now and in the future.
If we accept the story that Q was 'locked out', and that 'someone else' can post as Q (with the tripcode), then we won't believe any future posts from Q.
How do we resolve this? ---> Patiently.
The real Q has proved himself in the past with undeniable proofs. If he is truly 'back', he will do so again. In the meantime, be skeptical - even if the posts sound authentic.
Beware of your own confirmation bias - wait patiently for undeniable proof.
Note: I'm getting a few downvotes (without explanatory comments) on a perfectly rational post. Therefore, I may have hit a nerve.
I was up to 90% the other day on this being a real "Q" until no real proofs happened. The "zero delta" posts didn't even line up properly, and came right after Jim was screwing with an anon. Now I'm down to zero. These aren't from the real Q.
I fully expect that if Q ever returns we will see another migration to another board like he did when he moved us from Voat to 8ch and then 8kun. 8kun is compromised, Jim seems to be a grifter with mental issues, and nothing can be trusted at this point. Actually that is something that nobody is talking about. If Q really came back and verified with real zero-deltas, got Trump to say some phrase the autists requested, and even threw in more pics from AF1 over NORK we couldn't trust the very next post. Every post could have the possibility of being fake, and Q can't prove themselves on every post.
If the Q team can find another board, or even TS for that matter, that can be securely used with proper verification I think that is when they will return and move everyone over. They will have to verify on 8kun to issue the move orders, and then verify on the new board as well, but once that happens the drama from Jim and babyfist will be over. I don't think it can be TS though, without risking an investigation from DOJ and SEC.
You're right - it can't be TS.
