CrystalBelle/CandyApple - I've been running this board for almost 11 years, and prior to that, I was a member of & moderated 2 or 3 other popular webmaster boards. I've seen it all. You're not the 1st to have 2 accounts, using 1 to pump up the other.
You wanna know how I know that the same person is running both of these accounts?
1. Both accounts contacted me via the board's
Contact Us link, stating that they wanted to register, but couldn't because they had a free email account, which I block (I wonder why?) Both of these requests came within a couple days of each other. And, in each case, I advised you to sign up with a fake email, then contact me so that I could change the email on your profile to your free one & have the board send out the confirmation email. This, in & of itself, is not an odd situation, but it is very rare. But, I'll be honest, I really didn't think too much of it at them time.
2. Your boy ecchi saw your posts & dropped me a msg, suggesting that I should look into your accounts. Would I have done some investigating on my own had he not contacted me? I'd like to think I would have. Like I said: I've seen it all.
3. Looking at the 2 accounts side-by-side in the admin, there's a lot of similarities, as well as exact matches. Like the IP used to register:
CrystalBelle - 79.129.110.148 (Host Name blogholo.static.otenet.gr)
CandyApple - 79.129.110.148 (Host Name blogholo.static.otenet.gr)
As well as the IP's & Host Names from your posts:
CrystalBelle:
46.176.33.26 (Host Name ppp046176033026.access.hol.gr)
46.176.52.39 (Host Name ppp046176052039.access.hol.gr)
CandyApple:
5.55.135.199 (Host Name ppp005055135199.access.hol.gr)
4. The deleted post just basically confirmed what I already knew.
I will say that I am a lot less of a curmudgeon than I used to be, so here's what's gonna happen:
1. You admit that you have 2 accounts.
2. I'll delete the one you don't want to use.
3. We can all move on.
Otherwise, I'll have to ban both accounts & flag the IP's & Host Names & stick to my "No Free Emails" policy, thus ruining it for the next legit person, etc. I don't want to do all this extra work, so please, just do the right thing & then it'll be over
PS - If you're not a female, please let us know that, too
