Did You Have Multiple Forum Accounts ?

Having gone through the list of current members and their registration details yesterday it is clear that 3 individual members have opened 11 accounts between them.

Forum registration is set at one user name per email to try to prevent such occurrences, but you will always get people who have access to multiple emails addresses registering a user name against each.

Multiple accounts per an individual seem to only serve one main purpose on forums and that is trolling, and this forum has already seen an example of this. Bizarrely one member was having a debate between two of his user names to bait other members.

The 3 members have had all their forum accounts revoked permanently.

I find it quite strange , as to why anyone would want more than one username .
I'm on 4 local forums, only have 3 user names.
I use the same one on 2 of them.

The only conclusion you could come to is that they were going to cause trouble and wreck the forum. But why? If they want a forum to wreck why not start their own one and then they could be as many different people as they want talking back to themselves. I think that mental illness has a name?
