Member Management

Here we go again and so obvious too.

The following members share the IP Address 212.5.153.93:

cSwanepoel (Reg: Today, 02:41 AM)

PrettyCandice (Reg: Yesterday, 04:55 AM)

I will send PrettyCandice a PM.

Restores cSwanepoel's posting abilities. Her explanation was she was having password issues. Gave her the same spiel as TheBombshell, I told her I deactivate her other account. All the posts from her other account will still be visible but the account is no longer active.

I got a reply back from ModelKnowledge:

thats not my account. only modelknowledge is. polo1427@yahoo.com isn't my email address. polo1427 was a former roommates junkie mail account. i am unaware of the other account.

I told you all of them would deny it. Do I believe her, absolutely not. But it's your guy's call on what happens next. I'm simply the messenger.

^ I am a bit skeptical on her explanation. However there is no proof she is lying...or telling the truth. If she is lying I hope she is smart enough not to do it again.

I also hope from now on she will at least adjust her attitude and try to follow the rules to the best of her abilities. Maybe we can send her a link to the rules so she can review it one more time.

I got this PM from fashiondream:

Hey I have a bit of suspicion that Badge3 and Pheress may be the same person. Is there a way for you to check that out?

Thanks

I asked her what made her suspicious. This is what she said:

They have this same pompous attitude and then I noticed one of them brought up a post that was posted 2 days ago... and then the other agreed with them right after. So just a suspicion ...

So I did some investigating and here is what I found (parantheses is how many time they used the IP Address):

San Francisco, CA

128.218.211.171 ( from University of California San Francisco)

Badge3 (3)

Winterbone (10)

solange_09 (40)

128.218.210.156 (from University of California San Francisco)

Winterbone (2)

solange_09 (47)

Winterbone (3)

solange_09 (2)

Florida

97.100.21.45

paddywhacked (1)

pheiress (1)

Chances are Badge3 and Pheiress are not the same person. However there is a chance Badge3, Winterbone and solange_09 are all the same person---in particular the last 2. Not sure should the IP Addresses from UCSF be considered b/c it is a decent size university and for 2 members to have same IP Addresses from there isn't that suspcious----What do you guys think? However the other IP Addressees they share does raise suspicion.

I am not sure about paddywhacked and pheiress being the same person, but I will contact Pheiress to see what she has to say.

Something to note is all 5 members are Leo and/or Bar "fans".

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

I guess you could try asking them all the same random yet specific question unrelated to multiple accounts and compare the answers. You can send the same question at the same time and click the box that says hide bulk status. Sometimes if they are the same person, they might slip up and say you already asked them . If that doesn't work, I guess just ask them flat out.

^ Hmm...the bulk thing might work! I usually just PM one of the accounts and ask them for an explanation. I try not PM all accounts b/c it would make it more obvious which accounts we suspect are also their's. It also increases the chance they would confess. However I will consider you idea Joe. Thanks!

Can you please ban sastouraom (Major spammer, who's links take people to sites with trojans)

Done. ~ Post Edited by Joe > Average

Another one needs to be removed ASAP!

Admin ... He's sending out PM's with links to trojans

I couldn't find the member. I guess someone else took care of it.

EDIT: Nevermind, found him. Took care of it.

Both katchitup and fashiondream have reported michal for baiting. I looked into michal's post and I did a quick review of her account. Nothing truly suspicious or "bad". She is a passionate bar fan who I think is still upset about Leo & Bar's break-up. Anyways, we should all keep an eye on her. Thanks!

Please ban lshh487

Done. Thanks! ~PC

This is solange_09's response:

Hello,

I do not have more than 1 account so not sure what you are referring to. I think perhaps someone reported this who does not like what I post - please look into posters with the names FashionDream and BarbieErin - I happen to believe these posters are one and the same person - if that's what you mean by multiple accounts, you need to look into that person, not me.

I will look into FD and BE, but I do find it interesting that she would accuse those 2 for being the same person. Based on what I have gathered from FD in previous PM's, She & solange_09 seem to be friendly w/ each other. I guess where there is Leo, there is drama

I haven't contacted paddywhacked and pheiress---anyone want to take a stab at that one?

Thoughts and comments on solange_09's response/"explanation"? Thanks

I think with instances like this you should go with your gut hun. and I'll go ahead and contact paddywhacked / pheiress.

Also I've made attempts to contact ModelInsider/emodels about her multiple accounts. She's been on several times since I sent her the first PM back in Nov and is completely ignoring my attempts to speak with her about the matter. I think after 4 months of hearing nothing and knowing she's been on BZ we have grounds to ban her.

On another matter. Cherrybomb starting to turn into Talisa with her belittlement of Kate Upton. Going to keep an eye on her.

Usually when you disable someone's posting indefinitely they seem to magically respond .

They should be able to PM still?

They'll be able to do everything but post. Everytime I sent one a pm and they didn't answer they instantly answered when I disabled their posting 100% of the time . Though they're only doing it because they want their posting back, they know seeing what you want is manditory if they want to post again. On top of that, if they do whatever they did again, they can't possibly say they weren't told. The other catch on their end is raising the warning meter is required to disable one's posting but that's the price they'll have to pay for posting on the forum while not aswering a staff member in the first place.

Got this email:

Hello, my account still says that it is temporarily suspended. I emailed you about this the other day. Can you please unsuspend my account "pheiress"?

Thank you.

I do not have multiple accounts so I have no idea what you're talking about???

I only have "pheiress" and the is the only log in I use. I recently tried to change my username to "DiCaprio" but I was told by an Admin that it was taken, so I did NOT do the change. If there is another acct registered with my email address (this one) then it is NOT ME…

Please reenstate my username "pheiress". In addition, I really do not appreciate being banned before I have been given the opportunity to explain. Thank you.

Thanks,

Bethany

Could we have a ban on the member/spammer Axiorebroom? :yuckky:

Done. ~ Post Edited by Joe > Average

Cheers Joe!

Gang, just wanted to make it known that I've sent the member lordjhon a reminder not to post nude content. He appears to have been flouting the rules for a while but I'm not sure yet if it's knowingly or unknowingly.

The standards of nudity are different in different countries, but the rules are clear obviously. Since the other sites like us that I know of don't have a nudity rule, there are some members who think if they just behave reasonably they'll somehow automatically fall in line eve if they don't read the rules. I'd send the person a pm and then give a warning the first time they violate the rule after that and then a suspension the next time. Hopefully they're reasonable .

He's read my initial 'gentle reminder' PM, I know that much. We'll see how it goes from here.
