Multiple usernames

[Panic Button]

Site rules say

'Do not abuse the AnswerBank's registration procedures and attempt to acquire multiple usernames'

Why is nothing done about a certain gentleman who admits to having 20 usernames?

(answer 16 in this thread)

well the 20 he owns up to are all variants of the one ID, but that still means he has 20 names that can be used to report other peoples threads, and as the ed has emiled me about deleting my banned-dot id as it is superfluous, I would be interested in an answer to your question myself

Now Panic you and I both know you are being pedantic here.

All his names have Legend in them with a combo of numbers.

Whats the craic here -everything is going smoothly -we are all loved up so why stir it?

Sorry had to be said.

I would rather all the moonlighters who come on and are vile and vitriolic were banned -but hey thats just my opinion as that was yours.

Bit much posting a thread tho -but go for it if it bothers you so much.You'll sleep tonight -lol

[dot.hawkes]

Dris they bother me too, in particular, i can never understand why, everyone on here seems so pleasant and then out of the blue some git appears and has a pop at me.

What of the countless ABers who have multiple names due to the BETA debacle???

[Ice.Maiden]

There are several people who have more than one, panic. So do I, as a "safety net" after I was repeatedly "banned" for some unknown reason. When I came on with my second user name, it was so similar to this one that everyone knew me before I announced it! After emails from the Ed, I was allowed it, but reverted back to the original asap. I suspect this is the case with some others as well, but from personal chats I've had with people, it seems no one really likes those who hide behind multiple user names for the sake of it - and most become transparant anyway, as they slip back into their old way of speaking.

Dot -anyone who has multiple IDs up their sleeve in case of that Beta eff up could potentially use them to ban thread until the Monday and the 'Ed' comes on to analyse them

It happened one night to me and TB -but it was aimed at Legend -I now have innocuos inane banned threads in my profile cos someone had a gripe with legend.

I dont trust anyone at all with a drink on them and that includes myself -so there you go-I have been known to be a total nuisance and I hold my hands up -so whats to stop someone else being and doing the same.

[Drisgirl]

I have said all along Ice -you cant change your style of posting -you always will slip up and its very obvious -well to me anyway -specially if gawd help us Monty had an alias -lol

(Sorry hun -luv ya really -just a joke xx)

[Ice.Maiden]

I also agree with Dot, who seems to've had her fair share of unsubstantiated knocks, and as Drisgirl says, why can't people just get along, making allowances for normal differences of opinion? Guess if we don't like it, we can always sign out.

[dot.hawkes]

hang on, ust going to check my emnails from the ed where she asks me to report any abuse form various abers.
