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.


No moderation came because it would be impossible for the mods to determine the true identity of the suspects. Just as a user pretended to be you, another user could have pretended to be Riderz. From an outside party, the whole thing could be an intricate scheme all set up by a master Xbox fan.

Perhaps this master Xbox fan disguised himself as a Playstation fan (pretending to be Riderz). And the fake Xbox fan (the guy pretending to be Kowen) was actually a real Xbox fan who was intentionally obnoxious just to make it appear that he was actually a Playstation fan.

The mods have no way to know.
