Duplicate Accounts

**hex1848** · 09-30-2005, 10:23 AM

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.

Ohh, and the new version of vBulletin has a nice little extension that prints up a report on IP addresses and multiple accounts. It's going to be a lot easier to track these down.

(I won't have to query the database by hand)

Quit telling us about VB 3.5. Go ahead and install it already!

Patience billy boy, what hex is doing isn't any picnic. There's a lot that goes into this process:

1) You have to compile the new program.
2) Configure / port the database over.
3) Test to make sure the program is stable, optimization (so it doesn't over balance the server load)...etc, etc, etc...

Props to hex, this is no easy task, and unix platforms can be rather stubborn beasts.

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.

Thank you very much

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

**Shelby07** · 04-11-2007, 12:45 PM

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.

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.

Doesn't look like we need a vote on this one Hex.

Last I knew, multiply accounts = insta-ban.

I think everyone has the right to know who has been running multiply accounts and why.

Having multiple accounts causes a lot of trust issues, It's the same thing as letting someone else post on your account. At the end of the day you never know who you're dealing with. I say out the people with multiple accounts so the members can know who has broken that trust.
