A member has been caught creating a 2nd account.

Comment Published at 07:0307:0318 comments18 comments113 Visits113 VisitsReport

A long time member has created a 2nd account and has been caught. The 2nd account has been deleted and the member's main account has been locked out for a few weeks.

Minti members are only allowed one account. Having more than one account is a violation of Minti's Terms of Service. If anyone creates a 2nd account here are the consequences:

  1. All new accounts will be deleted.
  2. Member will receive a warning.
  3. Member will be locked out of their main account for several weeks.
  4. If the member continues to create new accounts, they will all be deleted, including the person's main account.
  5. After all of the above, the person is no longer welcome to come back.

I am glad you caught this; I had meant to email you yesterday, as I thought this person was deceitful at the time... You guys are way ahead of the game, well done.

Well done admin! Glad that the security measures set in place are working. We certainly dont need that sort of deception here!!

I cant believe a long term member would do something like that!!

You'd think after everything that has been done and discussed here on this website about double accounts, long time members would know better...

Good job on the security..

Re: A member has been caught creating a 2nd account.

Does this happen if you let a friend set up an account from your computer? ie same IP address for both accounts? or if  you use the same email address? What I am trying to get at is could this happen under completely innocent circumstances?

Re: A member has been caught creating a 2nd account.

far more was analyzed in this situation other than just ip and email addresses. for example there was also deceptive and dishonest behaviour in this case. we can't and wont be releasing any more details on this case.

Re: A member has been caught creating a 2nd account.

Rest assured that there are security measures in place to prevent members from creating multiple accounts. I can't tell you what they are for security reasons. Can you imagine someone trying to get around such measures if I were to spell it out? It would create quite a headache.

Sorry I hadn't realised till this morning exactly what had happened - I now feel a bit of a fool for being taken in by this member - I really thought this had been an honest mistake!

Don't feel like a fool, it's her who should feel like a fool. She's done the wrong thing to alot of good and honest people who trusted her, she should be ashamed!!!!!

Crazy coming from a long time member. Surely they knew what they were doing?? Good detective work Izzy!
