It might be slowed, but I doubt it would be solved. I see to many who have multiples in order to inflate their ratings. But you are right in that it would be harder for them to get to the forums. It really doesn't take long to play 10 or 20 games.
Originally posted by treetalkOh, for crying out loud we are talking about people who are cheating by having multiple accounts not multiple computers. There is nothing wrong with having multiple IP address with the same account but there is something wrong with having multiple accounts if it is not approved by the administrators. There are people who are banned then reopen an account, or several accounts under different user names in order to mess with the administration and users in the forums. Trying to get into the mind of a multi user and figuring out why they would need to do this is not something I have spent much time on, but I would imagine they don't want to be caught so they try to mask it. But then some probably don't care if they get caught because apparently it is rather easy to do since so many do it.
Why would you need a different account?
I use the same account on several different computers ... different IP but same account.

Personally, I think if the site didn't allow people to post in the forums until they'd played at least 10 or 20 games, the problem might be solved.

I've never heard of this guy so I have to ask the question - why does this site subject paying members to this kind of crap? The idiot above will most likely be deleted, but he accomplished what he wanted to; and you can bet he'll be back to do it over and over again.

So why are people who have never moved allowed to post in the forums? Do you realize how EASY it would be for RHP to change it's forum posting? Anyone who has not completed 1 game should not be allowed to post!

noobs with boobs = females
noobs with goobs = males
noobs with doobs = drug users
noobs with loobs = auto mechanics
noobs with noobs = married couples
noobs with toobs = surfers
to name a few
Originally posted by ArrakisIts a sure sign of the apocalypse when I actually agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I still think that you should be euthanized, however, not being able to post until you've finsihed one game would be a quick and easy fix.
