    Question about ghosts.

    If sbr is doing nothing to prohibit ghosts from having multiple accounts.

    What is the advantage of people going pro?

    You could have a obese shut in (living in his moms basement) who simply makes hundreds of ghosts accounts and transfers 2 points per day into one account.


    Just a thought

    Does SBR do anything about ghosts.

    I think the only person I know who was banned was that pabinator fella.

    oddly some people have disappeared or have they?

    In that scenario I think it would be pretty obvious what was going on with the scamming of points so they'd shut that down quick. But there sure isn't anything stopping people from making 3 accounts so when one gets inevitably buried they can move to the next.

    SBR catches on quick if you do what you suggest innovation.

    They claim to do something and if it's the same IP the system auto bans you. Anyone with a brain can get around that, so it's kind of hard. But if it just increases traffic, SBR isn't going to spend time and money to go all ghostbusters.

    They catch the ghosts on the points transfers.

    Don't get me wrong fellas I am happy with the whole pro gig. I just wanted to make sure cheaters are not allowed. I am not suggesting anything. Just wanted to make sure there was some guidelines and rules that sbr does follow.

    i was banned here awhile ago and created a new account the other day in 30 seconds. i have my own private ip that changes dynamically because i dont want the government monitoring me. it is pointless for SBR to have moderators when they have such lax registration standards. even if this account is banned, i can still go create a new one in 10 seconds.

    As long as not stealing points I don't think is a big deal

    Ghosts are just insecure men that are losers

    We all know they are and we laugh At them

    Very difficult to keep catching ghostd every five minutes and very time-consuming and it's not worth it

    Give us a little more credit than that.

    Some good and accurate comments in the thread. We can't discuss the methods we have to ghost bust. It's a problem, we are mainly searching for scammers. We confiscate about 20k points a month from scammers. A ghost sometimes is a harmless situation of a guy who has been away and forgets his password or some other reason. We will NSA those guys to make sure there is no scamming. I would guess we bust over 50 probably over 100 ghosts/scammers a day. We are doing something even if it doesn't seem like it.
