I'm sorry if this is the wrong section for this but I couldn't find a more appropriate one. I have noticed lately a lot of forum members using a second account to +rep themselves. It's very frustrating to me because they often are the people who least deserve +rep. Two examples: Masterofhacks and iwannahack. I could be mistaken, and I apologize if I am, but both of these users have very suspicious reps. iwannahack has 4 "nothing" +reps from someone conveniently named "iwh", the acronym for his name. I believe master0fhacks' alter ego is Mapleksed; look at the post reference for his +rep and the comment that was left. They do not match at all. Same goes for all of iwh's +reps on iwannahack.

Sorry, they are just stupid reps, but not by duplicate accounts. (At least none of the markers indicate it's a duplicate account)

And to proof I know what i'm looking for: xziOn and EverythingNever are your other accounts

Dark Byte, maybe check if IWH has the exact same IP for each rep, but uses different IP for his more common posts?

Because I know some people who used to use diff accounts + proxies to rep themselfs. (They made one mistake: telling me)

Yeah i think you can click on the ip of the person posting?
Don't even think about tracking me...

Forum rep is serious business.

Well, what really does it matter?
It's just reputation.

Does it kill the system or something?

I personally do not care one way or another about my rep. I have never and will never ask for rep, even in return for helping someone. My problem is that these kids that completely do not deserve rep are piling it on. People that do not contribute to the forum do not deserve positive recognition or reinforcement. There's 100 more things I could say about this but for the sake of brevity, I will stop here.

Rep is meaningless, if you care that much about it, kill youself.
And if they are self repping (Which is easy to do)
Then eventually it will get amazingly ovbious. (Like with RueK)
And DB will own their ass.
