Title: Multiple Accounts
Post by: VWKev on 25 November 2009, 14:18
Seems to be a few peeps using multiple accounts, is this allowed ?

Also, its a bit of a pain as I dont know who I'm talking to half the time.

If they use different email addresses each time they register, yes they technically can...

Chasing IP's and blocking accounts because someone has MPD is a bit tedious, and if they're using dialup they'll have a new IP each time they dial their i-net connection, making it even more tedious.

Allowed in the sense that it is possible, yes.

Just a few from the mk6 section. Well I think its a few  :grin: Just hard to keep track. With the guys there mentioning oh he's such and such, or he's logged in using this account etc etc just made me start a thread to see if this was actually ok to do.

in the demonstration given by ? above it's very easy. however, most of the time there is no magic way to link user accounts together. noshie gives it away so easily because of the language he uses and his obsession with the same few things. so yes he has loads of accounts and even talks to himself across multiple accounts at times - who would have thought it possible to be so bored with your life. whatever you do to block accounts it's always possible to come back as people have done on numerous occasions. tedious but true.

jv, do you have access to modify the htaccess files ?  :huh:

If you do whop his IP's (presuming he has used multiple ones @ different locations) in there to block him from even viewing the forum  :wink:

have full server access jay but that and using the forum software to ban via IP is a bit dangerous in that you can easily block 'innocent' users. such a faf just because there are odd characters out there intent on disrupting rather than joining in on an enthusiast forum.

That may not be a bad thing depending on who the "innocent" user is :lipsrsealed:

who cares if your account gets deleted, you can just get a new one. (which is what the point is?)

Kev if you were less subtle this thread would be "Why is Egbert Nosh such a gimp?".

We all know he is, he loves that we think he is. Forum trolls are nothing new, no matter which delusional higher purpose or sense of self gratification results from it. We can't install an idiot filter so just use the torment as a reminder not to take bored people on the internet too seriously.
