Monkey Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 We have recently had to deal with a regular poster using a second account on the forum and posting with both accounts and thus pretending to be a different person for a variety of reasons. Can we remind folks that this is one of the few things that are against the rules as we think that one account is enough for everyone and sockpuppets are not allowed. That is all. Link to comment

ollie1903 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It's not fair to name and shame, it would only serve to noise up the hat community and cause a commotion. Link to comment

K-9 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Ach it was pretty obvious to me who the Bristol impersonator was. My second account was deleted but still got my 3rd and 4th!! Link to comment

Admin Bebo Posted September 18, 2013 Admin Share Posted September 18, 2013 Aye, but then at least it'd make the re-instate RAZOR campaign go away for a while, just like the -1 disappeared because Bebo was getting it tight The rep system has been removed due to a bot/hacker with a China/Ukraine/Russia IP trying to use an SQL attack of the forum by hitting the site with +1 -1 requests and then trying to inject code when it returns an error. Unfortunately IP.board didn't include flood control with the rep system like they did with search. It's the reason why we've been having some forbidden errors. Link to comment

Ke1t Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 What I found amusing was when a person that I strongly suspect is a sockpuppet created a sockpuppet for his sockpuppet, then had the second sockpuppet award the third sockpuppet cash prizes in order to... ...well, I'm not sure why.... but it was still funny.

360 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The mods are obviously protecting someone they deem "important" to the site. Much like the BBC and major outlets do the new rangers. Until they explicitly reveal names, they are the rangers sympathisers to me. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It's nae me. My other log-in bloke LoveChutney would be ace if he existed though. Even better than ChutneyLove, what most people probably thought was impossible. I think I'll start him up - or is that what yer saying, I'm not allowed? Hey, he could be a she. I could get in touch with my feminine side. What about folk with split personalities? May actually help them. Steven Callahan used a mild schizophrenic tendency to guide his survival in his 76 days adrift - is he allowed two accounts? Link to comment

ChutneyLove Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Does anyone remember the game show "Every Second Counts?" Think it was Paul Daniels in his pomp. Well, that sounds a bit like this thread title. Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Second accounts must surely be determined by IP patterns right? Link to comment

I had it sussed straight away and told a fellow poster as much, give me a shout if you need my brains on security. Link to comment
daytripping Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The poster in question should have both accounts removed and be named and shamed. Regards, BlutoDaytripping Link to comment
