Ban as in the alternate account, or ban as in the primary account user? If you are referring to the primary user, I think there should be some sort of statement alerting everyone that if they sign up a second account, they both will be banned

We certainly don't want this occuring; I'd be curious to know how many multiple user accounts there are.

Rather than banning them totally, I'd rather see the 2nd account be eliminated along with a harsh word of warning via PM reminding that user multiple accounts are not allowed and if one is again created he's outta here.

I dont think a warning is neccessary. People know not to create multiple accounts. Ban them and send them an email as to why. Make them ask to get back in.

Agreed. Just a point of clarification - and no, I most certainly do not have 2 accounts - but is this based off of IP address or email? I guess you can get around both if you really wanted to (roaming IP or a 2nd email address).

We can make mutiply accounts? When i first signed up, I had to beg some Mexican to let me in. What happen to that type of exclusive? Is this forum 100% inclusive now?

Dont worry, I aint gonna start another account. I like this one a lot.

Bottom line those in question know this practice is not accepted. It was not accepted amongst us at JSO, and it should not be tolerated here. To many problems and flat out bullshit occured because of one user using multiple aliases.

Warnings are all fine and dandy for those that are new users or haven't come here from other known locations. But screw the warning if a person is knowingly in the wrong.

We are not dumb asses here, it takes one click of the mouse to figure this out. If you are going to have multiple users, thats fine, let us know, otherwise there is no need for anyone to have mulitple user names for one account.

"I voted yes. I think that members here should have a grace period, if this is under consideration, to set up - on a one account basis if, 'in fact' that is the case, that some have two accounts.

Noone needs to have two screennames unless they are up to hi-jynx or absolute no good.

The last thing you need is someone getting banned and coming back to haunt the Forum vindictively, as we witnessed at JSO." woodbuck27

I would post that warning some place like in rules/regulations or for sure some place it won't be missed (maybe it is already, I'm not sure) for new people joining.

For anyone that came over from JSO bann them if they are using duplicates....they surely know better.

I don't know that you can have a double standard though, saying if you're from here you get banned, if you're from somewhere else you don't. You're right though, there are enough places that allow multiple accounts that it has to be made unmistakably clear to anyone joining that multiple accounts are not tolerated here and (if it is decided yes) they will be banned for creating them.

Bretsky
07-12-2006, 08:36 AM
I still think a PM warning is appropriate before banning them immediatly.

We could also PM users with over one and let them know all accounts but their primary are being zapped and offer them a warning that if any extra accounts are created they will be banned.

That being said, if there is a legitimate reason for concern, and there is somebody with over two accounts, I have no problem zapping them.

Keep in mind I'm offering a non techie point of view here so if there is reason to be suspicious better to error on the side of caution.

Maybe Mad and Partial look at some of these multiple user accounts to see if they contribute ?

My vote probably is not complete either; being a numbers guy nothing is simple to me. To cast my vote, I guess I'd like to know how many people there are with two accounts, three or more accounts, and four or more accounts.

I'm an optomist so I'd look much harder at the non contributors with 3 or more accounts if there are any.

My opinion is that you can set such a guidelines, but it will be almost impossible to enforce. Do the mods have time to go on witchhunts to figure out who has multiple accounts? If so, how do you prove that someone has multiple accounts as each account is set up with a unique email address? Maybe there are ways that I don't know of that don't involve tracking IPs.

I think the evolution of this place into a JSO-similar forum is almost inevitable as this place grows and becomes more populated. Set guidelines and expectations and hope that they stick. I think posters should be banned for conduct unbefitting this forum, but simply having two accounts isn't bad conduct--that's just someone with either too much time on their hands or a vendetta against this crowd. Either way, that poster's actions will give them away and make them easy to target and discipline.

In some rare occasions, having mulitple accounts is entertaining. (I had fun playing Mike Sherman on JSO and was always entertained by the George W. poster, assuming that person had multiple accounts).

And, no, I don't have mutliple accounts. I have a hard enough time keeping up with this one.

Well, I can assure you guys that immediately once someone starts 'causing trouble, we will ban them. If they come back with another account, fine, but the minute they start causing trouble they will be banned. It won't be a problem because it is significantly more work for someone to continue to come back and cause trouble then for us to click the ban button. Unlike at JSO where they were allowed to run free, for the most part we have someone on here at all times, and if we don't a simple email or PM will bring the matter to out attention. We will NOT let the issues of JSO affect us.

Bretsky, I don't think it'd be a good idea to foreclose information like that. Be rest assured you're in good hands and shouldn't be worried. We've got the situation under control.

Jack, we've got a pretty good system here. Someone might try to be sneaky and think they will pull a fast one, but be rest assured it will not happen.

My stance on the matter is that if someone wants multiple accounts, fine. If it's a Mike Sherman name, thats cool. Have fun with it. But let Mad, Nutz or I know before creating it. This place is about fun, too. But be rest assured that if that account ever acts up in a negative or harmful way, both accounts will be banned immediately.

I agree with what you've said Partial. I think you guys do have a good system here and Mad's elimination of inactive accounts also helps. I think the mods are watchful, diliigent and responsive to people that get out of line. As long as that trend continues, there shouldn't be a reason to crackdown on people with mulitple personalities. The more aggressive you are in proactively stomping out such users, the greater the chances of you coming across someone in error. The worst thing that can happen is banning someone who is innocent of forum crimes, simply because you "suspect" someone has multiple accounts.

I vote no since it can lead to abuse of the system. Anybody can come in a impersonate another poster. Some mods are narrow-minded so they will just ban the orginal poster by IP without taking the time to investigate the situation.

Some of us are college students who use our campus network to acess the internet. Ban one poster by IP and you risk banning the whole campus from the site.

Just imagine UW-Madison not being able to access Packerrats because of one idiotic hacker. There would be an outcry.

From Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_address)


An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP). Any participating network device — including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax machines, and some telephones — must have its own unique address.

An IP address can also be thought of as the equivalent of a street address or a phone number (compare: VoIP) for a computer or other network device on the internet. Just as each street address and phone number uniquely identifies a building or telephone, an IP address can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on a network.

An IP address can appear to be shared by multiple client devices either because they are part of a shared hosting web server environment or because a proxy server (e.g. an ISP or anonymizer service) acts as an intermediary agent on behalf of its customers, in which case the real originating IP addresses might be hidden from the server receiving a request. The analogy to telephone systems would be the use of predial numbers (proxy) and extensions (shared).

So Nutz.

I can assume from that post fr. you, that in the near future, we may lose at least two members, due to duplication of accounts here from the same person. GG.

That is just sad, if anyone is pulling that stunt, after all the crap at JSO. That was outrageous BS and hardship all around back then.

The result or a huge factor - this forum.

My feeling. Give anyone doing that some time , to think (goodluck with that), then deal with it, in accordance with the majority's needs and welfare.

If someone is 'in fact' doing that they are plain n' simple - careless. That cannot be tolerated because of the obvious violation of a trust.

Just my opinion, but I'm kinda on the fence about anyone having multiple accounts, whether they act in a negative manner or not. When you look at it really, what's the need for it? What reason would someone have for making a duplicate account? From past experience with this issue, I'm sure most can attest to the fact that the person with multiple accounts generally had an agenda ....and most times, not all, it was to bring about a negative/irritating/mean aspect to the forum. Who wants that here? As soon as this starts happening there is an element of mistrust and trying to figure out who is who. Remember how many times at JSO that was a topic of conversation and how many times people said they wished they would not allow multiple sign on names?

I'm on the side of monitoring behavior. The folks that set up this nice forum deserve the right to set a behavior standard. If you don't want multiple screen names from the same person, that's fine too. It's just that I see no problem with someone posing, just so long as they behave themselves. If you think about it, how do you honestly know two posters are different people? Most everyone, with the exception perhaps of 'the inner circle' are no more than screen personas to one another anyway.

*** Rev. 13 July, 2006. woodbuck27

Members. I've reconsidered this.

Simply BAN that member (person for life) and close his/her accounts.

Only after a call for a general membership vote on the matter with specifics supplied to make that decision. Vote YES to Ban or No.

I would also exclude the top 10 even 20 posters in this forum from the vote to remove the threat of the inner circle syndrome. { *** I retract this suggestion as the top posters in the forum (by number's of posts) may also have solid integrity and be as fair as all others and these people will most likely attend a vote }

No moderator or officer of this forum should be able to vote. { ***I retract this as it's unrealistic - given that the OWNER of his Forum must have a say and the Mods should be involved because of their Senior Appointment and knowledge of the facts }

Appoint twenty good members like a jury process or a standing committee for six month periods.

May I be frank.

I'm really wondering what is up here? What suddenly is bringing all this on? It's certainly not like we've grown much bigger - in a couple of weeks.

Partial was recently made a new Moderator; but what is up here to compel this concern and posssible response to ban?

In a forum such as this, to ban is equivalent to Capitol punishment. It's severe, a harsh approach to deal with a problem.

We're getting government , BIG TIME - suddenly - and there seems to be little wrong. It awakens all in me that I really am.

Suddenly posters with two or more screen names are the concern? I didn't observe any difference in the climate here of late, except some possible outrageous claims in public, which isn't the best way to snuff out the fox. mmmm

Back to the task.

I just checked, and we have less than 75 members with at least 100 posts.

I suggest that you keep the vote based on a majority of most active members, based on some minimum number of posts required to be eligible to vote.

The voting process removes any stigma of threat of people being tossed from here ,because of any discrimmination. If you are going to adopt a banning option, then I suggest you do so fairly, that the POLICY has integrity.

I suggest. The person being accused on any grounds, not just multiple screen names ; has a right of appeal.

Possibly in a debate process, before that voting body, and all other interested members, even though they may be excluded from the vote process, because of the criteria for eligibility.

A suggestion. Any member here for say 60 days may participate in the debate. The debate last 's for 24 hours and he/she will in any case likely get banned but we all at least are aware of what happened to Betty-Bob_Buttercup.

In some forums, people are clearly discrimminated upon and harassed and finally break or are broken and get tossed. I witnessed outright stalking on a forum (before I came to JSO) and harassment through the persons's E-mail service.

Terrible rottten behaviour of the worst order.They are there one day and someone backstab's them (the inner circle) and their GONE. It's pure fascism of the worst order - except noone dies.

It takes pressure from the membership before 'the facts', yea sure, are even revealed by the forums leadership. Some forms are all about censorship and a pure fascist system is in place ' to RULE ' not govern them. I'm a Canadian and know the difference between a Democratic Process in place and Fascism.

The part that will be complicated as I see this forums membership - is to discover what single person has multiple screen names. Good Luck.

You can't be analysing and guessing wrong. Some of you already believe that, this or that person isn't who they present themselves to be.

I can assure you. I am woodbuck27 'the eben actual' woodbuck27.

Noone could be me but me when it's so very hard for me to be me.

Sounds like another Yogi-ism.

See Ya !

That is why we have moderators but to resort to banning someone for bad behaviour should 'in my opinion' be based on past attempts to change that person's ways. Noone should be outright banned for anything that isn't of a serious nature.

Serious infractions would include harassment via telephone or E-mails or attacks otherwise, than on this board.

If anyone is deemed guilty of vandalism of this forum or publishing any member's sensitive private info. that person has to be banned for Life as well.

No member needs or should be allowed two screen names.The reason why is moot as it must NOT be allowed.

Banning has to be set up on a common sense and fair basis. A policy adopted that is drawn up and accepted by a vote of the membership or otherwise be drawn up under a review process as we are in OUR infancy.

That will be part of OUR growing pains.

I have the right to say the standards suck, and go to other forums or to accept them and remain. If they want to prevent multiple accounts, that's their right. As I wrote above, I don't see any harm in having multiple accounts, so long as you comply with forum behavior standards. Last year (I think) someone set up an account on JSO as "Dr. John Holmes, MD PhD" and it was fairly amusing. So what would be the harm in allowing something like that on this site?

Finally, what right have the users of the forum to set the standards? None I think. If the forum 'owners' set too rigid of control, they will lose their audience and if they set too loose of controls, they will also lose people (Like the Christian Encourager and JSO sites, respectively). Sure, you can give your two cents about your site preferences, but clearly the site owners have the right to establish standards as they see fit, including banning multiple accounts.

Oh yeah, I remember Dr. John Holmes. Funny guy. Havent heard from him since some guy named Forrest Glump started showing up (that was also after tankduke got banned for changing his name, amidst the Packers' 6th or 7th straight losses, to "Ted Thompson, Mother of all Fuck Ups").

Anybody know what happened to Johnny?

I think the real reason you are against multi-accounts is because you still have everlasting memories of your encounter with "the Voice of Reason." If I recall correctly, Voice and you were arguing madly about who loves Ted Thompson the most. I think the Voice evenutally changed his name to Mary Kate and Ashley, although both were of the same account.

I don't disagree with most that you wrote mraynrand, except the issue of duplicate screennames for one account user.

I feel that can't exist for good as then it can go really wrong.The case where I do see it working. Is when a person applys for another screenname, it's approved by Mad and the Mod's and the screen names of all members here are accessable by checking their personal info.

My membership here is a privalege that excludes my exclusive needs.
Not everyone here I expect, takes that stance.

The thing with me mraynrand, is I'm one of those - fight for the little guy / little person - people, that wants fairness and hate's discrimmination. Also, Power Groups make me really nervous.

I do not appreciate judgementle people with their neurotic and petty needs to be considered, above a little patience. Some have to jump right in there and get in their two cents worth. . . . ALL THE TIME ? Uhhhhh ?!!

I'm against 'the inner Circles' that always exist in time. I'm against backstabbers and those quick to drop on others.

Nice to you, nice to you and thank you and suddenly they fold like a wet tent and screw you in a NY minute.

I have no other means of lobby then this thread at present, and I am not so naive to believe, that my positions will be given anymore weight then your's or anyone else's that acts solely as an individual here.

I have a hunch. LOL - that over the past three days, there has been more PMing. I exclude Mad and the Mod's, in causing the degree of useage to rise.

You should claim that animal down some. Remember, children are animals because they live through instincts and through not reason, unless that certain child is a prodigy. Society attempts to train children into rational beings (adults) through education. Yet, just when we have gained enough knowledge to become rational beings, we instead turn into soulless robots.

Anyway, is that the reason why you've never remarried? I can imagine your son kicking any potential husbands out the door dates after dates.

"Someone told me - you had EXTRA fries , EXTRA ketchup and you were real heavy on the hot peppers, with that late night snack." jk

Evidently, Packer fans.

Dr. Nutz had a munch on and was stuck.

Due to the hour, that wasn't one of those very rare ,late night eateries that afforded the refined discrimminating Doctor, a garnish ala 'Grey Poupon'.

I mean come on Dr.Nutz. You were eating 'almost' . . . . HOLY Shit' .

I'll add this though, and to your credit Doctor. That experience that you re-call so well, is well let's say . . . .
