This, imo, is a more effective way of trying to deter fake accounts than IP banning. 1. I don't really see it as a big problem or a priority right now 2. People can fake IPs - quite easily 3. These people will get bored eventually |

I assume as a sign of respect for the master/king of the site.
Some people simply show too little respect for others... others show too little tollerence and in the extreme are a bunch of tattle tale cry babies... some people have both problems!

You're pure evil... But forgiven!
"in the extreme are a bunch of tattle tale cry babies.."
The cry baby bitches kill forums faster than any spammer can do.

That's the bottom line right now IMO. It really isn't hard... at all.

I think the real question is why are you not banned.
Just two days ago your "I want a video game where I can kill as many Americans and Jews as possible" thread was locked and you were banned, but sadly you're back already.

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
I run a forum and we have the same issue.
It's easier to ban email addresses. Basically, it takes less time for a mod to do an email ban than it takes for a troll to create a new email account so, logically speaking, the troll will tire before the mod.
Unless you have the ultra-determined mother of all trolls, which is why we can also ban by IP and even domain, if we have to.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
"rules help control the fun"
i imagine its very difficult to deal with puppet accounts. i'm sure ioi will eventually come up with something.
