Either way, "buddy bumping" is against the rules, so it doesn't really matter if the friend bumping your thread is real or imaginary. It will be handled the same way.
If you bump mine I'll bump yours ;)
Nah, but this isn't anything new. People have used this for spam attacks in public and private groups and ultimately just get banned anyway. The other solution to this, which I have already been looking into, is to restrict account from posting in certain main forums based on criteria. Essentially a "NeoGAF" style for posting. I am cooking up a thread on this and it will probably be posted sometime this week.
Preface - Instead of looking for ways to ban people that spam and use these alt accounts (IE an "after effect"), find solutions to stop them ahead of time, before it even happens. Being proactive rather than reactive.
