Hi Minti'ers,

Just to let you know I have deleted 2 Minti member accounts today as they were the same person, and this member has been causing issues in the Minti community.

Note: the member was also previously deleted some months back due to other issues.

Kindest
Clay

Re: 2 accounts deleted
Thanks Clay - I was aware from day one that there was something shifty afoot, however I decided to let it ride.  I figure if people have good intentions they deserve a 2nd chance.  If their intentions are less than honorable, it usually becomes obvious if you leave out enough rope for them to hang themselves.

Re: 2 accounts deleted
I just want to know how the person was able to have 2 accounts at once.  I thought it was only 1 per email address.  It is for a lot of other sites.

If they were causing problems, then it is good they were deleted, but we do have to be careful too.  Some members are targets of 'bullying' and haven't actually done anything wrong.  Hhhhmmm.  Maybe I should send every member that advice piece I wrote on being nice to other users. lol.  Now that's how many members?  Should only take a year! or 2.

Re: 2 accounts deleted
correct - 1 email address per account. however people just create another email address (ie: hotmail, gmail etc).

We do get alerts (ie: IP address alert, cookie alert etc) when they do this through our system, but sometimes we just monitor them for a while until they cause issues like the one in this case.

Having multiple accounts is a little pointless as the vote from each account does not count for much until the account moves up in the ranks anyway.

Thanks Clay.  It is really a shame that there are people out there being deceitful.  But, the internet allows for that to happen.  It is a timely reminder that although the majority of Minti members are who they say they are, it is wise to be aware that there are some dishonest people online. 

Thank you for taking care of this issue-Angela
