Re: Proxy Servers
Obviously not to you, but I'm sure it would be to a "internet drama junkie" who's banning was being voted on!

Re: Proxy Servers
Complicated...and yet is apparently done elsewhere? Why not filter out anyone with a known proxy IP address? Then look at ways to identify whether or not they are individuals that have to use a proxy, should the smaller problem arise (of 5 unique people showing the same IP address)... If it's the Bahamas, we all know it would be Andy...in fact there's probably only four of us here... Peace, Lee

Re: Proxy Servers
You are correct Lee, that is what other forums do.

Re: Proxy Servers
Well, let's get it sorted then...start filtering them out.
Anyone disagree with this?

Re: Proxy Servers
Because it doesn't solve the problem. People can still create multiple sockpuppets. They will often have the same IP address, but there is no way to know if they are all the same person simply by looking at the IP address. I can change the IP address my Internet provider assigns to me just by resetting my modem. I could register at UP multiple times with multiple IP addresses all from the comfort of my kitchen table. I can do the same thing at Nexus or any other forum. It doesn't matter for those other forums, because there the members don't really make the decisions. If members are to make the important decisions here, we are going to have to find way that works.

Re: Proxy Servers
So you will not filter them out , but will use them to invalidate a poll? You can't have it both ways.

Re: Proxy Servers
O.K. does anyone know another way??
Also, we know that GW has several sockpuppets here...and you have been able to "somewhat" confirm this by checking her ip address. She has confirmed it also. Doesn't seem to be any confusion.
How do we go about removing her??
I don't imagine this needs a poll.. Lee

Re: Proxy Servers
Its interesting you frame it that way, when all this confusion is happening currently.

Re: Proxy Servers
In order to allow polling to continue, multiple accounts must be deleted. Chico, as admin it is your duty to make polls available to the members. Please remove multiple accounts of GW. She has already supplied the names to her accounts. Please remove all but one of her accounts so we, as members od UP may vote in a valid poll.
