I`m very confused, and it seems I`m not the only one. My brother received an infraction, some other guys were banned due to "duplicate accounts". That seems unfair , because some of us use have brothers / friends or work in places where more peoples acces DP from the same computer - so on the same IP. What should I do ? My brother registred to DP , I`m also registred here , but I`m afraid I could get banned because of this matter. How could this be solved ? Thank you, Dks.
Who is your brother? Make sure you do not bump each other's threads, trade itrader, or participate in any actions that might be inappropriate.
I don't believe you. Your three "brothers" have been banned for multiple accounts. Hopefully it's not you.
Well how can I prove I do have a brother !? You give me the ideea and I will prove it. Anyway it still seems unfair for others. What do you do with the persons working on the same computer ? I can give you lots of example where the same IP is used for 4 computers. Isn`t there any other way to do this "selections" ?
Pictures of you and your brother holding identification or birth cirtificates. Dude, Just follow the forum rules! X 100
Just follow the rules and you won't have any problems... Every forum of this size needs to have rules in effect.....
So funny, we have lots of members here who inadvertently use the same IP (mostly from countries with fewer ISP choices). It takes soooo much more than that to get banned.
hey Rob, if my brothers knew what is a browser i'll be the lucky boy in town. so, don't worry about me, i'm just a quiet portuguese dude.
There is no problem with each brother having their own username - and probably simpler if any one of them is going to do deals or venture into the politics forum So long as it's very clear that you are different people there will be no problem. As stated above - if you start giving each other iTraders or participating in each others threads then trouble will follow. Behave like sensible, normal people and you'll be fine.
well, i just got off from that situation... i received an infraction because of having dup accounts (which i know that i don't have)... tried logging in and pffft... im already banned!!! (i think some assumed that i'm having duplicate accounts since my officemate uses the same computer when logging in at dp). one member (webby) helped my by sending a message to three of the mods... but no one dared to unban nor reviewed my account. thank God there's jhona who made a thread just to help me get unbanned and VS told me that she can't see any dup accounts... now tell me, are you sure members of dp don't just get banned here because someone tried to log in using the same ip???
When i joined DP i got banned on my first day, and reason was multiple account. But i never made any. then I pointed out that all the computer in my college has same ip address. I mailed the admin about this and explained him the situation. The next day ban was lifted. I think DP will never ban you for wrong reasons. It take some efforts to get banned from DP. Just follow the guidelines and be a good member.
