    2 of them appear to be duplicate accounts, but 2 do not. What proof do you have?

    Duplicate accounts ain't allowed!!
    but

    @shawn
    DP has any tracking system to track the IPs where the account got accessed from?
    If not, then how you guys catch people with duplicate accounts? :(

    Of course there is a tracking system, they are able to see what IP address(es) the account(s) were accessed from.

    Maher is his last name and he told me by email he's 13 so that equals the username

    Christopher is his name, click on this link for more info!

    It appears this guy was able to beat the ip tracking system during the user registration process.;)

    I can't believe this guy has registered again.:confused: After reporting his other usernames now he 's registered as "Chris Maher". I guess reporting his other usernames and now this one is a total waste of time.:rolleyes:

    How you guys track IPs, BTW?
    I think DP only keeps record of the IP from where the account was registered. Once you're registered an account, you can access it from anywhere. I may be wrong, though :)

    The IPs are tracked when a new member registers and one he/she makes a post/thread. It is not just DP who have got such tracking system but it's the vB software which does the whole work.

    If his ip was actually tracked he wouldn't have registered with different usernames.:rolleyes: Btw vB software isn't preventing duplicate sign-ups, it's almost as good as a guaranteed answer in suggestions & feedback.:D

    I remember reading a thread yesterday that a guy was banned coz someone from his office (shared IP) registered on DP...
    Probably the guys (chris here) intentions are to "spam"...

    I can't believe this guy has registered again.:rolleyes: He's back and now he's selling his domains and by that proves he's the same person. Look at his domain website and whois registration details and his latest post.

    Apparently you can have duplicate accounts on Digital Point because this guy's new account is proof of that.:rolleyes:

    This kid ripped me off, you can read the post here in case you missed it. :rolleyes:

    Btw getting ripped off isn't funny, he deserves to be banned but I doubt that will
    happen.

    I don't have to try, this guy has done it many times...:rolleyes: It seems to me by your remarks that part doesn't bother you, so much for not being able to have duplicate accounts. Btw you should have been concerned about him doing it, I'm not the one breaking the rules here. He proved you wrong many accounts ago.:D
