Alias Crackdown... starting NOW!

We just gave a bunch of our mods the power to research IPs. Everyone is complaining about aliases, and it is now time to take a hard stance on it. You asked for it, so don't bitch about it.

Starting right now anyone found to have an alias will have both accounts banned, and if we see further alias creation we'll just IP ban the lot of ya.

So this is your chance to start fresh, stop posting under that alias and if you want to talk shit just do it under your own name! I mean its the internet... at least you can man up enough to talk shit under your screen name...

Thats not a big problem. What we are cracking down on is people posting stupid shit under aliases.

If you don't cause problems then its no big deal if you change accounts.

Its more for active shit-talk-only aliases that we'll be cracking down on. The other ones where someone simply had an old account and changed over will just disappear into the sunset...

are you guys going to also delete accounts that haven't been used in like 4-5 years? cause right now the # of members is probably really deceiving lol.

Fuck yes. This will definitely be a good thing. Maybe now people will either grow some balls or think before they type. Then again, this is the internet. DAMN.

When someone makes a fake name, or Alias to make posts/threads to rip on people. That way their NS cred doesn't get damaged.

Same thing, we can interpret the IP logs and see if that is the case. Its really obvious to tell alias versus different people logging in from same IP. I'm not going to tell you how we know though, but trust me we do.
