Since this is a VBulletin board, don't Mod's see all users IP Addresses?
That's probably the only real way to see duplicates and that's hard to follow when they're seeing only numbers.
Shit, there might just be an algorithm in the Eccie superhookputer that flags guys as assholes just based on the ratio of threads started for stupid shit versus total number of posts.There is that algorithm, and the gals use it frequently.
Yer' number is a little high there, partner. Originally Posted by zeejoe

I could make 10 different handles and there would be absolutely no way for them, you or anyone to track them. So I guess what I really want to know is why do you find it necessary to write so many useless, idiotic and asinine posts? Originally Posted by ScubaBad

How fucking pathetic. It probably does more harm than good. Looks like in at least one SW board the activity has decreased and notable posters have vanished while fake multiple accounts remain posting....writes the guy with the month-old account whose 5 posts are all about multiple handles and false reviews.
What a mess....
