Moderator log:

After an investigation, moderators have reasonably confirmed that Yewkim and Petertan, are the same person, a male. We have decided to ban both accounts. He has fooled others as two different persons, in his recent post. He has abused the trust we granted.

Moderators

Actually i assumed Petertan is a young friend of Yewkim. Nobody talks like that about another person in this forum

If there's one thing i would like to learn from the moderators is how they get all these info from

Moderators have shown restraint and openness in this forum, and at the same time draw a very clear line on the sand. Thanks again for making this forum intellectually engaging and not emotional or hubris driven.

A bit off topic but to answer your question,

When you login to the forum, your computer's IP address is automatically recorded. If the same 2 accounts login from the same IP all the time you can conclude they are probably the same person.

So unless you have a remote server which you can connect, to make it looks like you are login from another IP into your second account, it will be very easy for the Mod to tell if you are using the same computer to login with multiple accounts. Of course most people who try to use multiple accounts to be "funny" won't have the technical expertise to do that. and those with the technical expertise will not bother with something so "childish"

That's what I understood from the old dial-up... but is that true for fibre connection?

Just curious to learn something

Yes, your understanding is right. CityFarmer always uses this method.
