Unfortunately this forum is prone to people circumventing bans and active multi-accounting.
I suggest that admin requests the suspected accounts to produce facial verification by setting up a video conversation.
This has two benefits
1. Establish that suspected active accounts belong to unique users.
2. Establish that a particularly suspect account is not operated by a banned person of known identity.
This is easy to do

Re: Remove sock puppet accounts through ID Verification
It is not advisable to penalise hundreds of good people at the expense of a few bad people.
In my opinion, the admin is doing a great job of eliminating those unwanted posters.
I think your proposal put more work on the admin and hinders the entry of new people.
Too much big brother eliminates the good people while the crooks continue to prosper even better than before.

I am not asking to verify everybody but only where there is a reasonable suspicion.SarathW wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 10:07 pm It is not advisable to penalise hundreds of good people at the expense of a few bad people.

There is only a few of these accounts and it would deter anybody from trying to abuse the systems.

Re: Remove sock puppet accounts by ID Verification
Greetings,
We don't need some sort of video link to know that Pulsar isn't DooDoot.
If you suspect someone is a sock-puppet account, by all means let us know, but we'll do our own investigations if/as appropriate.
Metta,
Paul.

Doodoot cannot convincingly pretend to be someone else. Pulsar isn't Doodoot.
