Many obvious advantages with two ID's, like debating with yourself for instance...

Well I vote for a competition.....how about "Twenty Questions" style, you can be Nicholas Parsons!

I'll start then- Has this taken place in the events forum?

BTW, whats the prize?

definitely taken place in the events forum Dave.

i ain't no discourse analyst by a long chalk but even without checking back on the threads, rollemcowboy, prophonics, dr pickles, all the same bloke methinks. maybe even bexter as well.

cheers

Scotty

ps do I claim the prize (so long as its not a lifetime pass to the main room at Ilkeston or a 2 year subscription to the Togetherness mag)

I was thinking Bexter and Rollemcowboy.

but maybe just becuase they are both so easy to wind up.

heh heh.

Personally i would have thought that a two year subscription to N-Soul would be pretty worthwhile, but then i guess i would, wouldn't i?? Out of interest Rich have you read it recently???

I agree John, I would be very happy to win a 2 year sub to N.Soul. It's a bloody good read IMHO

Karen

I think it's Janine.

Hello John - your disguise is no match for someone who spent a few years in Berlin at the height of the cold war. Aagh, Schultheiss and Sausages, those were the days :-))

the first few I read whilst out trading and I thought it was complete self-serving bollocks.

chip-wrapping paper. bring back 'Coal Underground' or 'Noises from the Coalshed' I say :-))

cheers

Scotty

I was reading an old noises from the coalshed issue the other day funnily enough ;o)) You ought to try the new look N.Soul it's good ;O)))

John

I think that cow boy will ride away into the sunset after this... brains the size of a pea to think that you can get away with all this....

Hi Mike

the "double posting" is well out of order, they should be named while were in the "bring things honestly out in the open season".

be it taping, top djs playing boots, where ucan dj, or people talkin to themselves on here ? ....err 1st sign of madness isnt it, lets all know the true story

staying quite can allow these things to fester and create more rumours.

Danny

or kick em off so hard ...

Name and shame first Mike, so we can all have ago.

Then kick em off hard!! (I shall of course be biting their knees)

Just name them to show who is responsible for trying to perpetrate a fraud on every other member of the site, then boot 'em, and block any further aplications from the same ISP.

Just a thought,

last night my beautiful side kick and partner Tracie, was thinking of joining this wonderful forum, but i said NO! "the fine people on here will think that we are the same person"

(using the same computer conected to the same isp, hence the same ip address)

Valley Soul Commandos twice as deadly as Anthrax but more fun than Benny Hill

You ought to try the new look N.Soul it's good ;O)))

John

Yes J-O-T it's very good but I was particularly impressed with that guy from the Plinson's 4 page interview and spread...he sounds like a great guy and what a fantastic club and......DAMM! Still logged in under my own name, not one of the others :-))))

I think it's Janine.

No whilst I do admit to the odd argument with myself (only guarenteed way to win sometimes or the other person is behaving like a brick wall) it was not me on this occasion so ner ner ner

The good people on the forum wouldn't see your ISP, all we see is you username, and that word next to the lovely picture at the left hand side 'Soulsville' is all you see.

I have even been transparent enough to provide you with a link to my email addy next to the PM icon at the bottom of this message.

The only people who would really spot this is the site admin. If you were cheeky enough to have a chat with yourself on a thread, only really they would spot it to start with.

Damn! I had to concentrate then! LOL

Jamie

Thanks Jamie for putting it so ... eloquently

Andrew, yes, Mike and I can see all IP addresses but having the same IP address as another user is never called into question (there are several couples and flatmates on here using same PC) unless we have reason to believe it is one person using 2 or more different user names. Tracie is more than welcome to join.

Recently 2 "members" joined using the same email address for registering and then yesterday one of those "members" registered a THIRD user name with same IP address and a very similar email address.

This person knows exactly who they are and Mike and I be obliged if they would either email us to offer an explanation as to why we would think the three users are one and the same OR stop interfering with, what has been for several years, a healthy and successful forum of discussion about soul music. If neither of these options suits the "members" in question then we'll be left with no alternative but to block their access.

This topic is now locked as I think it's fairly clear how other members feel about this subject and there's not a lot to add.
