For multi-accounting and using multi-accounts to affect fight ratings.

[RakaiThwei]

Out of sheer curiosity, was he multi-accounting on the FPL or the CBUB?

Heh, we already discovered the older accounts through a snitch:

And many people here had already suspected this latest one to be part of the same group. Just didn't really have a confirmation of proof of it, though.

Probably both, but it was definitely in the CBUB, as two of those accounts actually made it onto the Top Match Creators' List, and another made it to rating status.

Which begs another question: could we possibly get those groups of multis removed from the Top Match Creators' List? I can name a couple of other groups on the list if it helps.

Lack of confirmation? Are you joking?

The evidence kind of speaks for itself.

The player had seemed to have found a hack by which he continued to be able to use any previously banned account for voting and rating. These previously banned accounts were then used to give other players the lowest possible grades as often as possible. A particularly malicious act of no rhyme or reason to me. That is what seems to have been occurring.

The hole through which this was possible on the website has been plugged.

Heh, if similar (or even exact) names were enough proof of multi-ing, a good deal more people here would've been banned already.

Ah, that may also explain how several deleted accounts were able to continue to make (and possibly rate) matches.

Thanks a lot, FoxFingers. I know this news will give a lot of users here comfort. Maybe some of the other vets will start making matches again.

This is good to hear. I always wondered how some of these members that were supposedly banned, were still able to make matches. Hopefully, this will put a stop to that. And I can't believe Crinos would come back, and cheat again.

Good idea. All banned users have now had their CBUB Stats wiped out.

FYI to the newbies, doesn't make it any easier to climb the ranks.

[DamagingRob]

Cool beans! I moved up the list a little. I'm not sure who all should be taken off that list, but I know RedBlueBlur shouldn't be on there. He was a member than was banned also. And White Wraith, while not banned, asked to have his account deleted. So, he's no longer a member either.

Heh, a few more banned/deleted users have popped back up on the list, and a few more still may pop up on the list if those are removed. I could list some of those names for you if you wish, FoxFingers (as I've been keeping track of some banned/deleted users) but it would probably be best done by PM.

EDIT: Oh, and CrinosVegeta0's about to also say goodbye to his blog. No need in keeping it up at this point.

[LoneWolf]

Awesome news! I was wondering who kept giving out all those 'Bad's to everyone. Good riddance.
