kowenicki said: 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.
