I want to reiterate our "one account per member rule" on Autopia.org. We have had an increase in people creating multiple accounts for several known reasons:



â€Ά To start conversations/ask questions using an alias name that they can answer using their primary account;

â€Ά To start controversial conversations;

â€Ά To Spam forum members with links to product or other special interests; and

â€Ά To get around a bad boy time out or ban for breaking the rules.



The moderators have been given the tools to search for multiple account violators. When found, violators will be banned without warning.



We take these steps to protect our members from fraud. We appreciate any and all information about violators so that Autopia.org can remain a safe and ethical community.



Thanks,

David
