Really, I understand that the mods are busy and that it is hard to figure out who is an alternate account and who isnt, but it is getting to be quite a problem in the flood. It wouldnt bother me as much, but it would appear as though moderators turn a blind eye to this sort of thing, especially when the name of the alternate account is so obvious.

A perfect example of this is JAVA24, HAWT24(permabanned), JAVA2, etc. How is it that no moderator has come to the realization that they have somewhat similar names, matching sigs, and matching avatars? Other alternate accounts are more difficult to detect, this I understand, O RLY YA RLY and Yourself(alternates of ID Phoenix) would be difficult for someone to catch if they didnt already know, but ones like that really need to be banned. It is almost as though there is no reason for permabanning people in the first place as they simply make a very similar tag and go right back to posting.

I am sure that myself and others would greatly appreciate it if something were done about these problems. Also, if you know of users using alternate accounts, please post here explaining, and hopefully providing some sort of proof, as they are not all as obvious as the example I provided.

I don't like Alts as much as the next guy but dropping names isn't cool.

And what if they aren't alts and the mods ban someone who they only think has an alt? What if a spammer makes an account named phish92128 (even though I'm not important enough for that)? The name's similar so does that mean I should be banned? Without proof in the form of a noneditted post or something along those lines it would be unfair to ban them in my opinion.

Agreed.

Also, waste of time. People can keep creating alts at a higher rate than the mods can delete them...

Even though I agree with the statement, the irony in this post is just hilarious.

You know that some tool in one of my groups created an alternate account called "Not Cockburnicus". Should I be banned?

Hahah, yeh. I don't need to explain why this is locked.

But basically; if you see a problem like this, PM a mod with some proof and we will act (if we can) but don't expect miracles. Get some screen grabs or quotes or something, we can't work on nothing, I can't tell you how many times I have known someone was an alt but been hesitant/unable to act due to the fact that we can't be absolutely sure.

Logically, we can't act that way.
