    Before 3 months I was unfairly banned from DP for having multiple accounts.

    But the problem is I did n't have any multiple accounts at DP ..

    I have a few points to suggest to Mods for banning Multiple accounts
    a)First IP address (same IP being used by multiple accounts)
    b)Before banning a member they should also check whether the other member has taken part in the discussion created by banned member and due to this whether banned member has some advantage

    Case 1:-right
    In a sales thread ,member1 lists a link for sale ,member 2 (using the same ip takes part in the thread) in this case
    member has to be banned


    Case 2:-wrong
    Mods find out two members using the same IP and ban two of them..
    In this scenario if a member logins from office/working place this scenario may happen very often.
    Because large organizations do n't have a single IP for every single PC.they have single external IP for about 300 odd PC's

    I hope Mods would look into this and some common sense would prevail before banning members considering these scenarios

    The way we sniff out duplicates are far more comprehensive than what you have described. Appreciate your suggestions though.
