Re: I won't discuss specifically how we accomplish this, and I'd appreciate it if the comm-savvy among us don't either, since nabbing these people depends to some extent on their technical ineptitude.

OK, I won't.

I'm not talking about any technical way of determining this. I'm talking about looking at posters that are new to SI by way of the free membership. I'm suggesting looking at those new "problem" posters and seeing who gave them the free membership.

As "hutch" put it:

"there are so many back doors to SI that anyone with a cable modem or better can eaisly claim more then one username. And with proper software you can post from just about any IP. You'd be better guessing that it was SI Bob..."

Bob, Looks like you've suspended Luc for one day for personal attacks. I read the post in question. I saw no mention of any names. What's the deal here? Did he actually violate the TOU? It didn't look that way to me.
