Im at a loss right now....

I have residence in Florida, Maryland and Japan. I also work from all 3 places....which could mean you would get an ip from both the US and Japan.

I also had some weirdos call me in the past because of my whois info and have since then used domain proxie services.

I can understand if the whois info thing helps stop people from posting more than once....but I dont think thats possible because...
1 - How can you tell someone is using false whois info if they are using ips from the same country

2 - How can you tell if they have say 5 aliases to submit 5 sites a day to your LL if
a) that they use 5 different alias for whois but follow....
b) 5 different dns for those aliases
c) 5 different emails from those aliases
d) 5 different isps such as (aol, msn, netzero, comcast and whoever else)
e)Maybe just to play it safe they use 5 different browsers or created 5 different user accounts on their computer so that you cant track them with cookies or whatever.
f) most important, make sure all isp ip, email ip, dns ip and whois info use same the country

I basically think trying to prevent cheaters by banning false whois is impossible...that is if you can find out that they are using a false whois info. The only way to verify that the whois is not false is to call the phone number and talk to the webmaster.....other than that you can only find out from things such as what country the domain is registered and ban based on country ip range (however what about guys like me that post from Japan sometimes?)

Im not sticking up for this guy as I dont know him, its not my problem. However I do use domain proxie on some of my domains and have been switching all of them in recent times. Is that breaking a rule??
