This is the "Black Arts" thread for discussion of the methods stock operators use to pound their message out.
=================
There may be members that mark themselves by generating multiple free aliases (that they don't use to post any messages -- to avoid getting the free account(s) booted).
Here's the question and a bit more information since your original post #msg-29464205 that raised the question:

Could we name and shame some of those pumpers, you know the ones that have given themselves 100 boardmarks all with there own aliases. ??

So, I asked the Admins.
I had no reply from an Admin, but it did generate some discussion:

Matt, Here's a fun question:
Apparently, aliases with no posts are allowed to PeopleMark other iHub aliases. I am reading public posts on your web site that say the reason some people create multiple free aliases with no posts is to simply PeopleMark their premium alias -- or other special people -- to multiple favorites lists, BoardMark certain message boards, then logout and begone with these free accounts.
Do you think this this true?
Also, have you all considered the possibility of requiring that all aliases make AT LEAST ONE POST before they are allowed to use certain features of the web site? Like PeopleMarks and BoardMarks.
And finally, when an alias is booted, are all their BoardMarks and PeopleMarks terminated as well?
Thanks. And have a great evening.

A few months ago, those aliases that were terminated had the PEOPLEMARKS that they had placed removed...I don't know if it is now automatic or a one shot deal...

verify email and iHub alias, those would be two different things, wouldn't they?
I have 5 email accounts. But I only have 1 iHub alias.
