Too funny ... this is still going on. I dealt with British Loyalist and all his duplicate accounts many times. What I remember it apparently was a family - two brothers and a father who played amongst themselves and others. I think I removed them several times and they just kept coming back when the league went open concept.

ROFLMAO
Seriously this thread needs deleting. It's a prime example of why I withdraw from active participation in the ladder.
If anyone cares ...getting back on track ... there is an easy way to deal with spammers ... mute them. Plain and simple. There is no point IMHO in saying anything to people in the lobby spamming by whatever definition you have. It only provokes them more and wait for it ... makes them want to spam more.
The lobby is like speakers corner in Hyde Park ... anyone can get up on a soapbox and talk about anything but you make the decision to listen or deride them. Personally sometimes I find the discussions hilarious and oddly upsetting. Makes you realize how perverse and sick some of us can be.

Ah joining the ranks of us mere pions eh Avo . Seriously, you should be commended for your hardwork and dedication. No one understands the work involved unless you are an admin at 2am in the morning. I personally greatly appreciated your offers of assistance and words of encouragement dealing with 30 non reports and the email wars that erupt. Take care Avogadro, hope to play you again now we're civies. Maybe I need to join up on C3P again and remember the good old days.

WarningU2 is a play on my last name (like the movie co. ) and when I was an admin I wanted to have an intimidating name - WarningU was already taken so the next best thing was to add the 2.
ps. I think this was thread was done a while ago on CIV3 but no matter

Impersonating was a huge issue with prior versions of CIVILIZATION. Be thankful that is prevented here.
I'm of the opinion with this type of impersonating, the onus is on the players to verify ladder names correctly. Take a few minutes at the beginning of the game to check the actual ladder name played and if it doesn't match the name on the ladder ... boot them.
As for correcting bad reports, it's not easy. For instance if player x reports to player y, we can remove the win/loss however the rank change is virtually impossible if subsequent games are played by any of the players.

I never announced why I left as admin but as I see this is blowing up now ... as I predicted to the other admins. The reason I resigned as admin is exactly what you folks here are complaining about ... multiple accounts. I tried tirelessly to remove them but with an open league it's impossible. I couldn't remove them fast enough and when I did I made mistakes and removed legitimate accounts in error. I said to myself its not worth it. I asked for it to go back to invitation and SPM didn't. I said farewell. And my life is so much simpler. IMHO the ladder is in serious trouble as a open league. When you discipline one account the same player uses another account or gets a new one without too much difficulty. I do not believe the ban function works anymore or if it does, it seems easy to circumvent. I suspect the number of banned players has max'd out in the function and needs to have old accounts removed. I fear that shortly the ladder will become a joke. And that ladies and gentlemen is a terrible consequence of inept management. Now the admins will put up all proof saying this is not true and how healthy the ladder is. More likely this post will just be removed as some sort of flame ... but if I were you I would demand that a invitation league be reinstated or this issue will just get worse. I only say this because despite my resignation I still care about the ladder. Good Luck folks.

LOL ! Very good Whiplash. Actually have you tried explaining the game / ladder to anyone outside the community ? I tried to explain once a controversy that was giving me a headache over a game of cards about someone who had failed to report yadda yadda yadda ... And the people round the table thought I must be nuts to be doing this ... maybe I am.
