An open letter to BR Admin RE: multiple aliases
« on: January 08, 2012, 07:42:08 AM »
It has become quite apparent that there is a small group of users here using multiple fraudulent aliases here in a concerted effort to bring great harm and damage to the integrity and reputation of this great bowling information website.



 



I respectfully request that BR.com's Administration fully and effectively return to a sitewide enforcement of



 


Posting Rule #9 - Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.



 



I would however suggest that you modify this rule to allow a maximum of two user names for each account, one to be used for personal use and one for business related posts provided the party requesting the business related account offer sufficient proof to you that they actually own a bowling related business.



 



To any member of the site that agrees with this request, I ask you to simply respond to this thread with a response that states, "I fully agree with and support this request"



 



On Edit: I have sent a PM to Ballreviews informing them of this thread and asking them to act on it. 


Update:  I have heard back from Ballreviews and they have assured me that they are well aware of this problem and are working on providing a workable solution.

+1. I fully agree with the request to limit the number of user IDs to two for the purposes described.

 Sounds good to me, but why the late push for this? The crap posts have been piling up for over a year now...

Further, how do you propose br monitors/checks new users to make sure it's not a current member using a different machine and email account, maybe even on a different internet connection?  I'm just not sure it's possible to keep a determined, persistent troll from having multiple accounts.

BR Admins, it's time to exorcise some demons and reclaim the integrity of the site.
