@Relentless-Red
I share your outrage, Red.
Surely no one on this site would behave in such a presumptive way.

@wolfe63 saidThere is no identity verification hurdle to pass to get registered here, so enforcement is necessarily after the fact, and is likely to occur only if the miscreant makes stupid mistakes which call attention to himself. Implementing a rigorous identity verification policy integrated into the registration process itself would be the ideal solution, but this would involve more than a simple code-update and probably more than Russ wants to invest in.
An unfortunate scourge: This issue is challenging site credibility.
How is it that they've become tolerated here?
Verification security and tracking are now accepted and commonplace practices throughout the internet.
Is it technologically impossible or unrealistic to expect that multiple accounts might be prevented here?
This is a competitive chess site. We have a very bright base of membership.
Why are we tolerant of such chronic mockery?
Continued vigilance from site users is the best we've got. Don't expect much more from a service which is free for so many users.
@fmf saidLol. How tough is your neck then?

Members with Multiple Accounts.
About 10 years ago, on the Debates Forum, I stopped posting with "FMF" and used an account called "John W. Booth" instead for a few weeks and, as a practical joke, in order to come at a couple of ludicrous but prolific very far-right posters called utherpendragon and generalissimo ...in order to come at them [i]from ...[text shortened]... first time' and yet they have knowledge and axes to grind with reference to things going back years.
Will it withstand a few strokes of the axe?😁
@relentless-red said"Define" me? No. Don't be silly. It was just a lame deflection. It was just low quality banter used to wriggle out of discourse. Gosh. You sound a bit like you are STILL licking your self-inflicted wounds.
Outrageous, they picked up on one action and tried to use it to define you.
@wolfe63 saidDo you mean relax and start threads about how anxious I am about how the site credibility is diminishing due to a handful of second accounts posting the general forum...that kind of relaxed easy reading?
Danger: That chip on your shoulder may be transforming into a tumorous evil twin.
Relax. You an easier read that way.
@fmf saidCalm down mate, jeez your chip on your shoulder is causing you to not be an easy read for the team!

@suzianne saidI agree Suzie Q,
I was at caissa.com and came here after they started heavy-handedly censoring their forums.
That is why I said you can't limit people's posts or thumbs up or down for that matter. If that happens you will see Paying subscribers disappear.
I am on another Chess site and the forums are pretty much dead, but the chess is competitive. I am a life long Subscriber on that one they had a 10 year deal and I grabbed it so never have to pay again on that site. The 3rd one is a free site where you can play all the games you want.
I am on this site more because I like the clans and also the forums where you are permitted to say more than you would be on any other chess site known to me anyway.

@very-rusty saidFor your information, this is also why naming people who leave thumbs is a very bad idea as well. It's just another form of censorship usually pushed by people who can't stand being criticized.
