Multiple User Names and Personalties?

[Yac]

I have dealt with similar cases in the past and most of the time, though it looked rather suspicious, it turned out there was no abuse.
Still, no system is 100% secure and it sometimes really happen. So the best thing to do in a case like this is to report a post and explain what its about.

When I self requested my ban I actually came back three times on different names before finally giving up on myself and succumbing back to CD!!! When I came back the 3rd time they knew my old fort lauderdale SN without even mentioning it...On my first name, I DO admit to trying to take on a different persona with one of these names,and my name was banned the next evening. The second and third times I admitted to my former identity and I just felt really compelled to give advice and reply to a particular post.

I suppose I have caused my fair share of mischief,and maybe have a "notorious" perceived bias of a certain location that many of you know (go check out what a poster said about me in the TN forum), but all and all, it's good to see the moderators doing their jobs, and whenever you have a sizable web forum, you are always going to have a vulnerability to such situations mentioned by the OP. All and all, I am going to use this website mostly for its original purpose, and that is to give solid, unbiased moving advice to people moving into my state.

It makes me feel good to know that the moderators have the tech tools available to take care of this issue (I am looking for to when they can take care of the ignorant posters too!).

I am especially anticipating when they can explain which posters are ignorant, and whether syntactic incongruities affect their judgement.
