Recently I noticed this thread locked due to the following reason:
Q. You may not use an alternative user account to promote or support your main user account in a way that implies you are more than one person or to evade disciplinary actions.
However there was no mention as to who violated this rule, and it could not be easily determined. Since this was not the first time I noticed this reason for locking a thread, it got my me thinking, why doesn't Stratics name these violators? Does Stratics always catch these violaters every time? If not, please vote yes to my poll.
As a broker and a player who often utilizes this forum to buy/sell/trade rares, its important for me to know who violates Item Q in the Rules of Conduct. Establishing trust is paramount to safe trading. Since we live in a fantasy world where players enjoy creating imaginary identities, it is difficult to know who we are truly dealing with. Yet Stratics has a unique opportunity to deter scammers and promote safe trading.
Scammers often hide behind multiple identities. They use VPNs to hide their IP address, they use multiple ICQs, they use multiple email accounts to disguise their activities, they use multiple characters in game, and yes they use multiple Stratics handles as well. Apparently Stratics can determine who these players are and could if they so wish list all the Stratics handles connected to each other in an effort to employ more transparency. Would you support this scammer preventive measure? If so, please vote YES!
This post is a petition to create a thread at the top of the forum that lists players mutltiple handles, or at least a list that names the handles of players that violated Item Q in the Rules of Conduct, or at least some indication in a player's profile details that they are also the same as another Stratics handle who may or may not have violated Item Q in the rules of Conduct. It seems common sense to me. If Stratics allows players to have multiple handles, they should tell us who do, or at least those who violate Item Q in the Rules of Conduct. Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration.
