    It does not matter, he had more than one account, he is doomed.

    yes but he got after when he did not found his user name as user name password and email was changed
    he tried to test out is it got banned or what happened and signup again using same email address and username thinking that system will not allow him to use it again if it exists
    anyway in my opinion its really good and effective way of advertising LOL

    It still doesn't matter , when you have a car crash you call the cops you don't kill the other driver . He decided to take the matter in his own hands and he's enjoying the benefits .

    OK lets say you park your car and when you come back it refuses to open doors for you with key you have in hand
    registration number is changed
    but your wallet a picture and some other identities remain and can be seen
    what will you before calling the cops ??? even when you are seeing with a different number plate
    naturally you will try to open the doors
    now another person comes and shows that the numberplate placed on the car is registered with his name
    then you will enjoy the Jail ?????

    He made a second account when his old account was hacked so how it possible that he had a duplicate account??? His username didn't exists nor his email so I don't understand the logic behind duplicate account? It was infact a unique account, isn't it?

    btw he informed me on another forum that he first contacted DP at twitter but no response, either you keep in touch with users in more ways or let them find the way to contact you on this forum.

    I hope admins will look into it seriously as you have thousands of members here but he had just one account here with good reputation.

    yes agree with you virus911 i found it here http://twitter.com/#!/MyiPadMedia/status/130964106307051522

    anyway first thing i cant believe really cant believe that how any VB board account can be hacked
    secondly there are possibilities any of his close friend played a game with him but truly its not possible because he belong to country where paypal do not supported then how the account get upgraded to premium

    the only thing come to my mind is
    is it NOT ?????? as i mentioned above an effective way

    The thing with Shawn is that he doesn't want to hear the other side of the story, he thinks rules is rules too much so your friend is kinda screwed.

    You don't get it this isn't a public place with laws and courts . This is a game and it has strict rules , if your friend got hacked he should have contacted Shawn or Rob or you should have done that for him . You break the rules you get banned nothing more or less . With thousands of posts appearing each day and with hundreds of new members DP can't afford to give anyone special treatment , it's just not practical .

    Duplicated accounts are detected trough multiple methods , e-mails are a thing of the past . Also if you don't like DP you can stop posting , being a member isn't a right it's a privilege .
