Status Check...Where do we stand on this?

Ken, I have been wondering the same thing!

I highly doubt this will go anywhere. I would like to be proven wrong here, but the odds are against it.

Sorry for the delay guys. Its been a hectic couple of weeks between my day job and caminoviejo. I can only do so much in one day and still have time to kick back and smoke a cigar or 2.

Here is what I know: I found several duplicate accounts with matching IP addresses. Some of them were obviously accidental signups, no extra posts, no problem. I found a couple of iffy duplicates, but after looking closer at them, they haven’t been used in a while.

I did find 2 senior members with what appears to be blatant duplicate account usage. IP’s match, posting habits’ continued until very recently, etc. I contacted one of those members and got an explanation, the other one I’m trying to catch in the act (not enough concrete evidence). The person I did contact offered an explanation which I considered plausible. If he wants to come out and say something, he can.

Plausible schmausible... Out 'em both! This is just dragging all of this out and making it worse.

Duplicate Accounts are not permitted. Anyone caught signing up duplicate accounts is subject to immediate banning (yes your main account will be banned too).

If you think you might fall under this new policy, then PM me and we can handle the matter with out the drama.



Thanks.

This was in '05... couldn't be clearer. Any questions and Hex gives you an out. Anything else is willful disrespect and disregard for the board.

Totally agree - at least the one that hasn't responded. Hex, you've given them a chance - now let's make it open.

I think the board should be privy to the explanation of the one who responded as well. Hex out em both, let them man up and explain the situation to the members.
