Multiple IDs are frowned open for various reasons (including the fact that they clutter up the system).

If they're used for "harmless" purposes, they're simply removed and the main user is issued a warning.

When they're used for the harrassment of other Ledgies or the perpetuation of arguments and feuds, the ID is removed and the main user receives a strike.

Lux was not issued a strike because "Schmoopy" was being used for relatively harmless reasons. But, in removing "Schmoopy," we mistakenly thought that "ReFleetwoodMac" was also a secondary ID (because of the matching IP address) rather than an individual user, and that username was banned, too. When the situation was explained, ReFleetwoodMac was immediately reinstated.

Personally, I don't see why anyone needs another ID anyway. One username should be all anyone needs to post their messages.
And if folks are just looking to play games and mess around, they should give AIM, Yahoo, ICQ or any of the various other messenger programs and chatrooms a try, rather than using up our bandwidth (which results in outages to our service).

I hope this gets read coz I don't see why peeps are ganging up on Bobo. I've talked to Bobo on AIM and we turned on *voice* and he is a really, really nice guy. He's normal too but his sense of humor is really off the wall. David, I'm not saying that you're wrong but do you think that off the wall might be confused with disturbing? I just don't see what Bobo did wrong except for the user name thing and isn't that name gone now? I just don't like to see peeps get picked on coz they're *different*. Not fair.

One more thing. I really like you and you always make me laugh but why did you publicly post this. Is it ok for me to reveal the identity of the poster who sent me a very hurtful and disturbing pm after I used the term *hard on* in a post? I never revealed his identity here and I really don't know why. Maybe I should and tell everybody exactly what he said to me over that one little post. I don't get it. The guy's an a**hole but I didn't see the need to drag him through the mud even though he dragged me through it in private. Should I?

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it... if someone receives an improper PM (harrassing, threatening, unwanted sexual advances, etc.) through the Ledge's private messaging system, please be sure to report it to one of the moderators.

Our messaging system is not meant to be abused, and we'll put a stop to it so you won't have to continue dealing with it.

Do you mean the mods? No one's ganging up on him. The only reason his account got deleted with no warning is because we thought it was just one of Lux's multiple IDs. When we realized he was in fact a real person, he was reinstated.

Ok maybe I misunderstood. Sorry. I just don't get the whole user name thing I guess.

Could be. I knew I was being toyed with. But I got really disturbed when Bobo never wrote me back.

Let that be a lesson to ALL of you: if you're going to toy with me, I will decide when the conversation is to end, not you!!

Aww.. come on. Sly dig, that one.
I can understand that you don't want people to use multiple usernames, but come on.. those 50 posts Schmoopy made, using up your bandwidth? If that is the real problem I know a poster or two you should look at.

Which, just in case, isn't what I mean. Everyone should be able to post as much as they want.

Ok, 50 posts from Schmoopy... but if we allowed everyone to have multiple IDs, then how many posts are we talking about?

Yes, we should all be allowed to post as much as we want. And, last time I looked, we are allowed.
But we certainly generate enough posts as individuals that we don't need to be logging off and logging in under additional usernames, too. And to do what? Talk to ourselves? Respond to our own threads?

There's no good reason to do that, and it just eats up our bandwidth.

I am quite sure it was just the one time. Shouldn't the moderators be aware of this?

We had no way of knowing how many times you used the "Schmoopy" ID, only that the IP addresses matched.

And if I haven't already, I apologize for the mistake.

Because I demand fealty from all my subjects. If you pledge your allegiance & troth to me, then all is forgiven. Remember, to turn your back on your liege before he has bid you do so is to risk his wrath.

That is quite tame compared to what a certain New Jersey basement dwelling former Ledgie sent me via pms.And being the mega creep he was/is he blocked me so I couldn't respond to them as he knew I would,

I think Stevie prefers to win her battles with passive agressive recriminations .The battle I'd like to see is one between Lindsey and Christine .I'd put my money on an old Midlands pub crawler over a super sensitive metrosexual from the peninsula any day!
