Users posting under more than one name!
It has come to my attention that a few people have been posting as multiple people. Some signed up multiple times, others making "guest" posts. Some irrelevent posters, others important.
I do not mind people taking on a anonymous name to make a post or two to avoid backlash...but do not use fake names or identities to run games or to dump on people. I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR DRAMA!
Do not think you can continue. I have developed a new IP system that runs ip matches for me. It takes me a click to see what names, posters, and vistitors share an IP address.
This is your final warning. If I have emailed or messaged you...take my advice in the note. If I haven't contacted you, you may want to change your ways because everytime you do anything...the IP trail gets longer. I am watching the actions of 29 suspicious users. If you have a legitimate reason why more than one user would be using your computer or have in the past, email or message me and explain. I suggest in either case you pick one identity and stick with it.
From this point on I will be adopting a zero-tolerance policy. I will ban those who appear to be deceptive (unless you've contacted me). I have already banned 6 members...and I'll be flipping a coin (litterally) to determine the fate of the problem gallery poster who's posted under 5 names.
To our honest members, I warn you to be cautious with anyone you are in contact with...they may not be who or what you think they are (I have dug up some interesting things...).
:-/ Not trying to be an ass...just doing my job. We'll get this place whipped into shape after all! ;)

Thanks hun. I had a feeling this was going on >:(
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Awesome! I hope you will do this on stripclubjunkie too. Someone over there is trying to make himself look less suspicious by replying to himself with his other identity. I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. ;)
Anyway, thanks!

Re: Users posting under more than one name!
I am letting Zaza, a writer/dancer from Holland, stay with me for a month or so, she is dancing while she visits the USA for extra money. I let her sign up here under her own name and password, using her European e-mail, but she is using my computer, which means we have to sign off and delete cookies to come on as our seperate selves.
Once, I confess, I opened the site, and posted a reply to a topic without logging off and deleting cookies, it was about a local club getting busted. But I did say it was me. I doubt very much she would ever post as me, but I will talk to her and make sure! She is sleeping now. I won't do that again! I thought it would be nice to have the experience of a dancer from Europe here, but never thought it might be a problem.
Is this alright with you? I don't want to break the rules, or add to your worries.
I think it sucks that you have to worry about people posting stupid shit like whatever this gallery stuff is about, and I also saw there was something in site issues about some bad postings concerning a club in S. Amboy--isn't that Jersey--is that what the East coast AOL thing was?
I hate to see anyone who has put as much as you have into this, with your limited time to manage it, much less have a little fun now & then, have to deal with garbage like this!
Please let me know what you would like me to do about having her as a member, I trust her, but don't want to add to your troubles, or list of members you feel like you have to watch.

Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Pryce we appreciate your devotion to keeping these boards trash-free. :)
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Pryce, thank you. And Heather I hope he does this on My site ( ;) Junkie here).
I hate it when folks sign in as "guest" and bash or post things that will get negative feed back. If you are going to say it, say it as yourself, and let the arrows fly, don't hide.
PRYCE - You get a standing ovation from me.
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
If it keeps up, it would not be a bad idea to put the original name of the member up along with his/her "alternate characters".
Then ban them. Nothing like a little "smack on the hand for acting child like". Just my opinion.

Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Thanks everyone for your support :)
Djoser, it's no problem about you and Sacha, I'll just expect both of you to have the same ip from now on...similar how GirlFriday and I have the same ip. ;)
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Pryce, as always, your oversight is greatly appreciated to keep this board from going the way of some others.
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Yes, I truely appericated u keeping your eye on this and we dont need any assholes or pretenders to any negative post. I can understand if they wanted to post as a guest to cover the indentication only for good reasons.
Good Work Pryce!! :)
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
autumn and i have the same IP cuz we live together......johnk posts up here sometimes but he's online downstairs now.......so his new IP should be logged?
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Good thing, i know Callguy. He was going to post under the (i forgot the darn name now,) thread that was very heated. And he was at my house while i was just finishing a message, he wanted to post a message. I said no. He is always pleasent and does not argue, but the topic bothered me enough to say no. No one better be using this IP addy Pryce. PLEASE PLEASe let me know if so, then we have something that would involve hacking. (EX BF, his job is too keep hackers out of systems, so he would know how to get in.) Since i run DSL, i never turn off my computer. And thats were my friends and i differ. They say shut it down, but i do not. Would he be in.. (he was a long time ago, and got nailed) I highly doubt it.

Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Feb12, 2:02 AM--- I, as "guest" in order to ask myself this question, posted a reply to the "Starting a new job" thread...
'Does this mean you will now, unlike any other DJ I have seen, finally shut up and just play some music.'
(not exact quote, I'm not looking at it now)
Then I logged in 3 minutes later, and answered my own question (this time an exact quote)...
"yes"
As you may have noticed, I haven't lived up to that promise so well, LOL. Sorry about that. These damned DJs never can shut up, it seems.
What amazes me is how someone could go to all the trouble of signing out, deleting cookies, signing on, logging in, and repeating this process, however many times they wanted to post under different names! What a lot of trouble to go to. That's just wierd...

Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Just for the record, you'll prolly see me posting under two or three different IP addy's. I'm w--king a (yech) day job now, and log in sometimes from w--k when I'm not buzy. Sometimes, too, when hubbie is gone off, I log in from home in the evening from his 'puter under a different ISP. But, it's always moi.....
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Pryce,
My man and I are sitting home sick today. After reading several posts, he suddenly became interested in this board I'm always talking about. So anyway, my man has joined now too as Mr. Perfect (my idea, it's SO true!) So we will be posting from the same IP because we share the same computer in our house. Just wanted to let you know. Didn't want to look llike a fakey or anything.
Re: Users posting under more than one name!
Thanks alot Pryce for getting on the job. I just hate the fact that occasionally, we get people on here who just want to put down this profession. I also agree with Pamela that you should post the peoples whose names you've banned. U know, for "punishment" purposes ;D
