Banning a guy with multiple user names doesn't really accomplish much (and if you ban this one he can create a new one later today). If I got banned tomorrow from this site my life would change by 0%.
That all said I am surprised therx isn't doing anything in this situation all things considered
Blue if you ban someone, it will show up as a match if they sign up again with even a remotely similar IP address.
However, some will use a 3rd party VPN to hide their ip address and give a 'fake' one.
When they do that, obviously it's an immediate red flag that they are hiding something, and they are newly registered under Post review.
There are some posters here that fellow members believe are ghosts.
But I've run checks on those in question, and:
1. They gave no matching IP addresses or accounts
2. They are NOT using a VPN to hide their real IP
Therefore, there is nothing at all suspicious other than some having a hunch it could be a ghost based on what they consider a similar posting style.
And that's just not something you can just ban someone based on.
As for personal wagers between posters, this is not the first time time we've been thru this and we always have to reiterate that the site(s) do not get involved in bets between posters.
The big guy just reconfirmed this with me.
I'm hoping R2 will reply and follow thru on payment.
