The fact that you have a green name as an individual means nothing, just that you have a new account. But a bunch of green name posts to a single thread here creates a pattern that looks like a single user or group of users creating throw away accounts in order to spark fake conversation about something.
In this case, things weren't quite so clear cut, it seems like it was actually a bunch of individual users all trying to take advantage of a lottery that a third party had slyly set up so they didn't have to do their own sock puppeting, but the end result is basically the same -- a bunch of useless fluff posts.
