I think a valuable feature for GFY would be to have would be some sort of unique identifier of the poster based on their IP. I know that no one really wants to reveal their true IP tp everyone, but how 'bout some sort of unique code filter?

The multiple aliases/postings is getting a bit rediculous not to mention everyone's accusations of people posing as other people. I know that people could always post using a proxy/anonymiser but I think this would cut the crap quite a bit. Not to mention if this was available on all PREVIOUSLY posted topics. I think a lot of interesting things would unfold. Hmmm....

Like maybe that I'm boneprone. Ha...Just kidding. Don't want to upset the "family".

Here's the perl code if this board is written in perl. Free of charge: ;-) Heh.

use Digest::MD5 qw(md5_hex);
my $lensmans_random_number = 1.6969;
$ip_unique = $ip; #posters ip
$ip_unique =~ s|\.||g;
$ip_unique = $ip_unique * $lensmans_random_number;
$ip_unique = md5_hex($ip_unique);

Ever hear of a thing called "privacy"?

Go back to flight school John.

Flight school... Heh.

No, I'm not saying that you'd give up any "privacy". No one would be able to figure out your IP. It's just a unique key *based* on the ip. It would just help reduce the ease at which people post with their 10,000 aliases. Unless of course, people like everyone having multiple aliases.

It was just an idea...

I agree that would not work.

Me for example I work for Wolfshade and I connect to the web through the same proxy he does.

So basically an IP check would show the same for me and Wolfshade

But we really are different people just the same connection.

Should we therefor be banned?

I don't think so

Not saying that you should be banned. Not at all.

Just saying that everyone using the board for info. should be able to see your unique key when they click on the IP (or whatever link) if they are so inclined.

And since people know that you share a proxy with wolfshade, no one would falsly accuse you of being one and the same.

Do not deal with people that slam other programs or act unprofessionally. EVERY SINGLE INCIDENT on this board where there was trouble (that I recall) - you could have avoided it by not dealing with people that act like this. No matter if host, program, sponsor, or person - if you follow this mantra - you will have a lot less problems.
