Last paragraph is interesting. How do you check identity in such a case? What if someone opens an account in the name of a different user here and starts bad mouthing to cause trouble for said user?

I was interested that no action came from the aldro incident recently which had a number of users bad mouthing pretty much the entire site, the mods and 360 users.  One member, Riderz, used his own name to do it, quite open about it - no action. Other users impersonated users here to hide their identity acted like total dicks and bad mouth like crazy. Pretty vile childish stuff actually.

Mods were aware, yet no action. 

That's the tricky part. We can't always tell who is who on other sites. In cases where it's pretty clear (like the Turkish reviews thing or spurge on Gamespot) we can act with more conviction and proof. For example, sales_2099 is the well known General_M1LD from Youtube. He doesn't bring that stuff here and if someone else does, we're not going to ban sales for having it show up on this site. When some user named General_M1LD showed up on VGC and started harassing sales_2099, it's pretty obvious this General_M1LD is not the same one on VGC. We try to use logic and whatever facts we have to narrow these things down to make sense.  

In the case you bring up with the chat room, there really isn't any way to tell who is who and who is doing what. If there is, you can be damn sure we'd be on it. And if it's offsite and you can identify someone doing something slanderous towards another VGC user with proof, let us know. We will look into it.


Well Riderz was blatant, other obvious users hid their ID so I get that.

Why are you so pissed all the time? Who did this to you tell me
