I love it! nice graphics also... Yes I agree that when a multi is allowed to remain on CC for whatever reason it is only fair that other players know that they are playing a person who had more than one account. They would go into games more informed as a result and maybe there will be less surprises... I know its a bit harsh in some ways but seeing that we consider it to be such a major rule of the site there should be a major cost to violating the rule.

Stupid idea.

Remember this

by **BGtheBrain** on Thu Jan 31, 2013 12:59 pm

Yes, i know what that is. Its more along the lines of colored license plates for DUI people instead of killing people based on their race.

BUT if you feel the need to use extremes to make your point so be it.

Labeling someone as a Multi just leaves them open to persecution by the rest of the community. I don't see much difference really.

and you're a Site Moderator too

by **BGtheBrain** on Thu Jan 31, 2013 1:19 pm

Being a site moderator has nothing to do with making a suggestion, should I not be allowed to have an opinion?

Making public a violation of the rules is far different than pinning a patch on someone because of what race they are. If you cant see the difference, thats your problem, not mine.

If you have nothing to add to this discussion, please refrain from posting.

Thanks

So everyone who disagrees with your idea will be asked not to post again will they :lol:

Bollocks to that mate.

I will repeat what I have already said;

Tagging a Multi will just leave them open to persecution. It's a very bad idea.

What should really happen is:

If for some reason a Multi is allowed to continue as an active member, then it should be up to the 'Multi Hunters' to keep a VERY close eye on their future conduct.

I agree with the suggestion in principle but do see it the other way as well. How about a time limit on the tag? Say 3-6 months or when the premium is bought again depending on what is shorter. That way we get the deterrent but it is not a stigma that will be around 5 years later. Just because you have had multiple accounts in the past does not mean you have them later.

No, ive asked you to not make a poor and incorrect analogy that basically makes the suggestion itself ignored, and it spurs a discussion on whether or not its the same thing. If soemone thinks the idea is bad, they can say that. But to say its bad, than equate it to what the nazis did, is stupid. Now, if someone comes here, theyll read a suggestion, then theyll see your ridiculous comparison.

Koontz - a timetable sounds fair

This suggestion doesn't go far enough. Why would you just mark multis?

Everyone's C&A history should be summarized on their profiles.
Chat warnings/bans
Forum warnings/bans
Secret Dip
Ratings Abuse
All of it.

Then no one can ever say they didn't know, and everyone knows who they're dealing with.

I think this is a good idea. I also like the idea of a tag after the multi's username. May I further suggest that the tag be a skull and cross bones or a totenkopf.

You're exactly right. Multis are essentially a prosecuted race of people. They were born multis by no apparent choice of their own. I'm guessing you also think child offenders should not be registered. Those poor persecuted felons.

I agree with the tag only being a temporary thing. This site is young and some kid making a multi when he is 14 probably shouldn't have the tag when he is 45.

Also I like Swifte's idea. I think everyone's "paddle" as I've heard it called should be visible. Just realize that peoples infractions aren't even visible to them at this point. Sometimes they aren't even sure exactly what happened (Free Phatscotty!!!). We should know where we stand at least, if not everyone else know as well.

Keefie, I get what you are saying, but this is a choice that people are making. It's not something they are born into, like a race. A better analogy would how violent and sexual offenders are forced to register where they live.

It's got real bits of multis in it, adds a little zestiness. Go 9ers.

This, +1. Point dumping, etc. I like the image BG posted. Perhaps made in black instead to be clearly different from volunteers etc and more of a "black mark" against you
