Multiple user names

[THECORBYLOON]

ABE, I was having a look at the Site Rules (as you do of a Monday) and seen the following

"Any abuse of the AnswerBank's registration procedures will not be tolerated. Any users attempting to acquire  multiple user names will not be able to do so."

I have used the name MUMPING when I was getting blocked but I always said who I was. There are folk on here wi LOADS of user names and some have admitted to it  What is being done about them?

[silly moo]

hear hear.
By the way we don't seem to see you much on hee any more.
Nice to see a friendly face as it were.

don't suppose the robots can catch them... I am impressed by the number of users whose names include dothawkes' initials, but put it down to her popularity among the young and impressionable.

[THECORBYLOON]

AHHHH yir making me blush.......I've not been on so much because it's not been so pleasant lately. Folk using different names to stir up trouble and grab some attention for themselves. I think too, that ChatterBank is getting a wee bit crude. Folk should mind on the fact that this a FAMILY site and I wish ABE  would be more strict wi folk who use obscenities. The fact that someone uses a variation of letters to get an obscene word on screen, sh1t for example, does not excuse them. I know there will be some who do not agree but I would like to think there are many more who do.

with you there, TCL, I too may have been guilty of some minor asterisked improprieties, but I've decided to take a hard line on myself.

Nice to see a friendly face and I totally agree CBL.
Hope Brenda is behaving herself.

[THECORBYLOON]

Thanks jno and shaney. Brenda The Elephant hopes to have her ears streched to a sufficient surface area to allow test flights within the next couple of weeks.

Hi corbyloon, silly moo and jno,

I hadn't noticed my initials being used but I will look out for it now, probably only a coincidence. I am dothawkes, dothawkes2 and mrspswayze and that is pretty much it now as far as I know.  Definately I would not want to be linked with any obscenity, it's not my way on here or anywhere else.  This site is for all ages and I enjoy it as much as anyone. 

nite all

phew, just browsed back through the evening's chatterbanking and it's really been in the sewers. The robots will take till next Saturday clearing up and disinfecting. This place is getting seriously nasty, which is a great shame. I shall wear rubber gloves and wellies and surround myself with some kind of force field before venturing there again.

With you there corby/jno.After planting expletives all over there question,they then report themselfs with there numerous  user names to hide the question?dont they realize the ED can still read it!(:)

[silly moo]

I don't actually want to have more than 1 user name - but I'm intrigued to know how they all manage to do it.
In full agreement with the comments re *'s etc. and this being a 'family site'.
I think the rot set in when we all campaigned so hard for chatterbank - some people treat it as a chat room rather than a Q and A site.
Never mind - it'll all come out in the wash !!

[CliveB]

just checking that my other username is still activated. mwahh hahahaha

[netibiza]

Hey TCL am waving to you from Spain.   Long time no see. xx Agree with everything you say.

[Robinia]

Well said TCL - just how low is it going to be allowed to go over there?

[B00]

Well I dont often do this.....but I agree with all of you! I posted a thread last night stating I was ashamed of CB, and I still stand by that. Last night posts were beyond belief!

Oh and I only have one username- I'm way too lazy to open a 2nd account!

[THECORBYLOON]

Evening Neti, Vinn and Robina I see the gypes are out and about the night! I'll not give them the satisfaction of seeing their names in print........

[LiverpoolLou]

Hi TCB, I agree with your question also....I've also used the same name from the day I signed up to AB, which was back in January. To be honest it's all getting a little bit confusing, especially tonight, when you could tell it was the same person who used 3 different names..but where answering their own threads...they must lead boring lives. I've started doing what I used to do when I first signed up, just reading other peoples threads. I'm frightened to open my mouth lately and make comments.... I feel I've been branded...but not going to change my name.

[Jude123]

I agree with everyone too. I thought this was going to be a fun site to use with decent conversations. but tonight it really has hit rock bottom. Pleased to see the people I've met previously have put there views here.( Hello to BOO and Robinia.) By the way I didn't join in the threads I didn't like!

[THECORBYLOON]

I think it's time for the friendlier folk to re-assert wirsels and Brenda The Elephant is here to lend her support until her flying lessons begin.

[gen2]

Hear Hear TCL,

Only one problem though, If you strengthen the robots, they will wreak havock in the other categories,  Already this evening I have had a perfectly innocent post censored here.

If they can be so fussy in normal threads, why can't they be more effective in CB?  Couldn't they be given a more rigorous remit just for CB?

[shaneystar]

I had a crossword answer banned a while back. i cannot for the life of me see why.

Ridiculous. Yet all these other multiple users and imposters are allowed to run amok all over the place.
