Multiple Account Warning

Given that two people in two days have tried to flaunt the referral points system by creating multiple accounts, I thought it worth mentioning that I personally review each new member's details by hand. I am not an idiot, and I will catch you out, so don't do it.

Anyone caught out will have their duplicate accounts deleted and their points reset. If I catch you again, I will ban your main account. If other people can take their time to add a few reviews, so can you.

    Tut-tut, people! It's not hard to add reviews, and the point system is fair enough!

    Ohhh boy, you all got caught!! Sometimes I wonder who my referrals are when they don't fill in their info. I was worried you were going to be like, WTF MIMI?! I can't help it! T_T

    This makes me wonder...What's the point? I mean...Do they just want to plug and run, but need points before plugging? Else it really makes no sense at all! "I has moar rev.iew.me pointz then u!11!!"

    Banhammer. :P

    Is it not possible to check the database for IPs, browser strings, etc when a user signs up. Might not be completely foolproof due to dynamic/shared IPs and whatnot, but should stop most of the chancers in their tracks. :P

    How bloody rude. I think they should be kicked out completely.

    I agree, they should just get booted completely. Jem is too nice! ;)

    *eensy-weensy voice* It should be flout not flaunt, right?

    I don't get the point of signing up for multiple accounts... you're just going to have to make double the number of reviews before you can add your site. =/

    Well spotted Mary. Too lazy to change it now though ;)
