Duplicate Accounts

[godfather]

I assume it's script-based, so it couldn't be compiled...

But I don't think it's considered stable yet...

I typed that a little too fast, thanks for the correction....yeah, PHP based.

I actually got a test site up and running. Im going to wipe clean and start over and document the upgrade process, before I start messing around with things here.

Its php, no compiles I just want to make sure I get it right beforehand.

I've found quite a few duplicate accounts when going through the logs last night. Cough them up now, or face the consequences.

So... is this a public cough-up or a private one. With all that has happened, I think it'd be appropriate to see just who feels it's ethically acceptable to bend the rules if it suits their own purpose. I also think those who feel they are above the policies that they expect others to abide by owe a public apology to the board.

I agree with Shelby on this point.

Out 'em! No special treatment.

I thought you were leaving? Once again, you have no idea what you're talking about so please just leave as you've promised and stop trying to make up problems that don't exist.

Seriously - it sucks that you haven't been around that long. There was some funny shiz at one time...

[Dickson]

You know CC you're acting like you're the premier FOG on this site. As you ask other's to let it go, have you ever thought for one second. Maybe I should let it go. Taking fractions's of a post and attempting to create dialogue(sp) doesn't do you or I any justice.

ggiese,

I stick around hoping for that day.

Respectfully,
Dickson

Honestly, the only reason i keep coming back to this thread is other's replies. I get the email.

Hex,

You can end this now. Lock'er up.

[CoventryCat86]

Dickson, you appear confused, if you have a specific question, just ask it.

I made a mistake and jumped the gun by posting this thread. The forum is pretty divided right now and accusations were being made that people had duplicate accounts. Now that being said, there is evidence pointing towards a duplicate accounts, however vBulletin's search interface has one problem when looking for these kinds of things - dates.

One account in particular was setup a long time ago (it’s user id is 275, we are now at 2781) and has been in use until very recently. vBulletin's duplicate account search showed that one user in particular had used it a lot - when I saw that I posted in this thread. Now after speaking with the member in question and looking a little bit deeper into the logs, he actually stopped using the account well over a year ago. The account has been used by several other individuals. I have gone ahead and banned this account - Moheganson. I didn’t out right delete it so I can go back and look at logs if needed.

The second account in question was brought to my attention by another senior member. I didn't have the evidence I said I had - in fact I told the member who let me know about this account that the IP's didn't match at all. It's all that difficult to spoof IP addresses, but for someone to go through that trouble for so long just seems like too much BS. I have spoken to the individual in question and he has assured me that he is in no way, shape or form associated with the other account. I've been watching the 2 accounts sign in from different locations at the same time, which being that they are in different states is enough for me to believe them.

I know I haven’t been on top of this at all the last couple of weeks. If you knew half of the crap that’s on my plate right now you might understand. I apologize for letting this drag on for as long as it has.
