Rule 1729: No fake accounts

[#40 :]

Try to keep this on topic please; I've deleted much that wasn't.

[#41 :]

IM NOT A FAKE ACCOUNT BUT SINCE EVERY HATES ME I WANT TO ACT LIKE SOME ONE ELSE UNTILL I GET BANNED. I HATE IT HERE AND IM GOING TO HACK PEEL IN 10 DAYS.

[#42 :]

If you hate PEEL so much, why are you continuing to post here. And if you're going to hack PEEL in 10 days, why are you telling everyone.

[#43 :]

I don't have any fake accounts. I don't even have a real account. Lies! Lies and libel! And racism?

[#44 :]

 It turns out I have 2 accounts.

The 1st one, witch is the one I use took a week to be activated. Thinking that it never got through, I created a 2nd one 3 days after the 1st, never been used to post and the email address is long since dead.

 So, if your gonna destroy it, destroy "Donny B".

[#45 :]

it turns out, that Winna doesn't actually have any fake accounts, and actually he is my fake account, so you can just go ahead and delete that one. 

[#46 :]

DonnyB? The poser?! Burn! Burn damn you!

[#47 :]

Wow, blackkatnorn is a whiny little bitch. Seriously, no-one likes you because of your afforementioned whiny-bitchitude, and why the hell do you announce that are going to hack PEEL on a specific day. Nobody here likes me either, but I post here anyway. Grow up.

Probally soon enough. And if he were to hack PEEL, Marc would get security systems up. And if PEEL were to be ever hacked, like Andy said, blackkatnorn would get blammed and thrown in jail of some sort for hacking. You know the story.

not surprised everyone hates you when you threaten to hack into the best futurama board

[#51 :]

Blackkat, I am shaking in my e-boots. I'll even supply PEEL's server IP. It's 127.0.0.1, if you were still wondering. I don't really think anyone's too worried.

Happy hacking, princess.

[#52 :]

I thought he was a guy

[#53 :]

No, girl. She changed her gender symbol and avatar to be more like superfry.

[#54 :]

Too much spam...

[#55 :]

During the Peelies, I might be looking out for fake accounts a bit more than I did the last months.

For now, I'd like to hear from "Nicholas", "deathisback" and "Mr. Bender".
I'll ban these accounts and the other accounts that are connected to them if I don't get emails from those people and/or find that they nominate twice in any Peelie vote.

[#56 :]

Makeing fake accounts do nothing to the PEELies. Hacking into them might.......

I didn't say that someone will or I said it at all. <_<  >_>

Sounds familiar...I think that's the creator of Futurama Break Out.He was banned from his own forum somehow because it turned out that he was a guy who created multiple accounts and spamming on nearly every forum he could find.
Also,a couple of days after the creation of that forum,he changed his username to "Space Cow".
Also,as far as I get it,his first and 'real' account on PEEL is Nibbler 2.0.

I may be gallusinating,though...

Think the person who made this thread might be a fake? Or perhaps the rumour mill is paying overtime again.

[#59 :]

^I think that Reginleif is fake^

she does tonnes of posts ini a row for saying sorry for double posting and most of  her posts are one/two words. She's either fake or a major n00b

[#60 :]

My vote is for the latter.  It's textbook newby behaviour, to treat the forum like a chatroom.

[#61 :]

Yes but what kind of moron would post multiple times in a row apologizing for double posts? Wouldn't anyone with an ounce of logic be able to tell that that just creates more of the type of problem they are apologizing for?

[#62 :]

An incredibly stupid moron?  Also, a fake account would've infiltrated Off-Topic by now.

[#63 :]

That's a naive assumption to take on.  Your logic is sound, and I can all but personally guarantee that Reginleif is a new person.  But the thing here, is that your statement is incorrect.  Whether you know it or not, there have been fake accounts perpetuated on this message board for various reasons and by various individuals that were either never injected into the off-topic section, or had a very long incubation period before they reached that status. 

That's all I have to say on the matter.

[#64 :]

I haven't seen any double posts recently.  She's probably some noob who thinks we're telling her this to be mean.  She probably doesn't even know that mArc has to pay for all her posting.  If reprimands don't work, simply take a more permanent course of action.  Is it possible to block posts for a set time?

[#65 :]

She's been to the chatroom quite a lot of times and has been under suspection of being "fake" there as well. However, I tend to say that she is not AND that she is just that - let me put it as - hyperactive like that.

Just tell her to stop, no need to ban her and in my eyes also no need to suspect her of being a fake account.

Also, most newcomers and people that post only in the ontopic section don't know that there is a man paying for all this here.

edit: I haven't even seen her in days

[#66 :]

So how much does mArc pay per post/thread.  Is it a lot or not very much?  How does double posting effect it?

[#67 :]

I don't know the exact contract, but I think he pays for a whole server for PEEL and CGEF. The domain is registered on the ISP Schlund und Partner / 1&1 United Internet which is one of Germany's biggest hosting companies. These are about 70+ € per month.

More info on that can onlybe provided by the man himself, and I doubt he'll tell us. 

[#68 :]

He also covers CGEF?  I thought CGEF was an independant site that helped support ours hence the "Proud to be supported by" at the bottom of the screen

[#69 :]

PEEL is an independent messageboard. It just happen to be run/owned by the same group that run CGEF.

As for general information about funding and server loads: PEEL Funding and Favourites and Last Poster gone

The more posts, the shorter the timespan, the heavier the load on the server becomes. Avoiding doubleposts help in this regard, plus it just looks more organized and comprehensible.

[#70 :]

Just out of interest and aimed at Marc himself (in case you read this) - also totally offtopic, but this thread is probably the best to get him...

Did you sell sick-du.de? I still had it in my connection list for the chatroom and wondered why it didn't work until I just found out it isn't registered to your name anymore.   

[#71 :]

So, how can mArc tell if the accounts are fake, and for what reasons woud they stay open?

[#72 :]

By comparing IP's. Look in the upper right corner of each post and you'll notice the IP address of origination is logged.

 

, and for what reasons woud they stay open?

Read the first post; in case of siblings or if it's deemed of value to PEEL (like Tallywacker). So basically you can plead your case and mArc will decide.

[#73 :]

Case in point: I have a second account specifically for Nationstates roleplaying.

I don't post outside of that thread (not on purpose anyway).

[#74 :]

My Friend Created two accounts on my computer. The first (called Zapp_Sux or something similar) didn't work. The second (Zapp_Suxx) didn't work either. Delete both of them please.

[#75 :]

So, what will happen to all the accounts that were made years ago and have 0 posts?

[#76 :]

Nothing, they will sit there.

[#77 :]

Aye, must say I was wondering about this. On all the forums I've been on, there are tons of people with no posts. Why dont mods and stuff delete them if they've been inactive for a long time? I spose someone might want to come back to them one day, but still-if ust for my own interest levels, I'm curious.

[#78 :]

On most Forums it is that way that only administrators can delete users. Especially on PEEL it is that way, since users aren't really in a database that is easy to access with fancy tools like on newer Forums, but text files on the server.
So it would be too much work to delete them, since it means going through tons of files and lines to check on every user that has 0 posts.

In the end it comes down to: Why bother? Beside that you never know if it could harm your system and make it instable to delete such a mass of information.

[#79 :]

Plus it makes us look bigger and more intimidating in the eyes of the other messageboards! ROAR!!!!
