AMNESTY: Multiple Account Users

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 23 Jan 2005, 07:54

We're all aware by now that staff are putting the clamps on the use of multiple accounts for showroom vote manipulation. Offenders face immediate deactivation and a site ban without notification.

In light of this, NFSUnlimited is holding an open, anonymous amnesty for such users. If you have been, or are still operating multiple accounts, contact a moderator or administrator and advise them of the accounts, listing those that should be removed, and the one account you wish to keep. Once the accounts and votes are cleaned up, No further action will be taken against you - provided that you follow the site rules from that point on.

We did check into it further than determining the suffixes of the email addresses. They are not the same person as far as we can tell. Thanks for the input though, appreciate it.

Hey, GT, why not check their IPs? Or does Bojan have the power to do that?

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 24 Jan 2005, 03:05

IP tracking is one of the methods we're using to identify multiple account users. All moderators and admins have access to IP information. You're on the ball, kid!

Thanks SI. The first message you mention was also PMed direct to the site owner, Bojan. As the second post mentions, all accounts but 'Masu' have now been deactivated and the votes from all of the accounts have been removed from the showroom.

The 'crackdown' and amnesty we're running at the moment have found many similar situations and they're being dealt with in the same fashion. As a result, many users will find the ratings on their cars changing, sometimes drastically, as the offending votes are removed.

Well, I am a webmaster myself. A forum about video games, it's in my sig. We moved from a different site, this one just started.
Well, I have a question:
I have a brother, he's wanting to jooin, but I said I need to ask the moderators because of multiple accounts. Can he register? Don't worry, he's an honest guy, he won't abuse the rating system, either.
So, can he join?

like you said as long as he is a normal member I don't see the problem (no of us)
tnx for telling us!

Can you do a checkup on my IP and see if I share accaunts with anyone like Morty for an example? Would be nice to know so I don't end up being accused for having multiple accaunts when I have none other than this

Unless... There are other NFS unlimited users at my school.

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 26 Jan 2005, 11:45

It's pointless for us to check IPs before you've made any votes in the Showroom, Sweeper. We'll bear these comments in mind however.

hey IP detecting is not so effective
Cause in my country people are a lot keen on NFSU2
so there are game clubs in which a lot of people play
so you may find 4 nfsulimited.net members with one IP
I have a better idea for knowing the multiple accounters
if you interested post
