hi,

I suspect these 3 accounts [snip] [snip] [snip] are same person which is point to same URL  [snip] .   co-incidently, they also never contribute any single post.

is this type of create multiple accounts allowed ?

Nope, it just hadn't been caught. Typically we only notice members who post spam. Thanks for the heads up (and also your first post?). They've all been banned, as well as the IP they were using.

That's odd. So you registered and the first thing you do is to report 3 users for not posting. If you look at the members list, there are lots of users that could be reported for non-posting and having a link in their profile. Why those 3 only? Why did you register here in the first place? Not interested in the posts too much?  Huh

Maybe it's their competitor.

Or this was the only way to keep the word '[snip]' on this forum, without being banned and the post removed. That would be brilliant... seriously.

Enough reasons to get rid of this thread.

JGO could do with a massive clean up anyway. All members who have been inactive for more then 3 years and have 0-1 posts (0-5?) should be deleted Smiley

That'd clean up alot of the useless members accounts that are just there as a result of spam bots.

By my count that would remove about 11500 accounts out the current total of 16000. Might even make JGO a tad bit faster Smiley
