QuoteIn some forums I've been in persons will register with multiple names and post using different media such as wi-fi and mobile (changing the ip) in order to 'talk' with themselves, sometimes on both sides of an issue. They're eventually caught because they can't keep up the different personae indefinitely and out themselves to people who know them by their phrasing and other habits.-John

now THAT is just plain weird :fie:

We've caught one guy who had multiple accounts and in one of them he was pretending to be a woman, he had an elaborate back story involving a daughter and an ex-husband.  Of course it all came unstuck one day when he forgot what account he was posting from and the back-story fell to bits.  Very strange.

DTV Forum here in Oz. is famous for multiple accounts to the same person,they have to have an alert brain to make sure which account they are posting too and often get caught out before they can delete.One of the tell-tale signs is a post that is mostly garbage and a then a conga line of posters line up to agree.
