IP address issue

[Captain Ewok 1,894]

IP's *'d out for privacy:

From logs:

same IP:

collier 24.**.*

effortless 24.*.*.*

Kakya vstrecha! 24.*.*.*

same IP:

aqoulp2 67.*.*.*

ahmed2258 67.*.*.*

effortless 67.*.*.*

Kakya vstrecha! 67.*.*.*

My IP that starts with a 67.x is NOT nearly identical to the IP you posted

Maybe not what I posted earlier but I never posted all the log information nor should I need to. You are assuming a mile when I explained an inch.

BTW your 67.* comcast account is close to theirs. I will leave it at that. It is not exactly identical and I only closed your account temporarily to check that this was not the case. If you are upset that I could ever think it was you sorry. I made a decision based on evidence to close it pending your reply. I did not have an exact IP match and your reply at the time was enough to explain things and for me to immediately unlock you account. Just because you are upset that I did things this way does not give you reason to tell me I am incompetent. Again you do not see everything I do and you are making assumptions based on having ZERO access to what I see.

Oh and all those IP's are from the US and not overseas. They are all Comcast DSL/Cable and not a VPN. I suppose it is theoretically possible for comcast to have randomly reassigned an IP on several occasions between two VJ accounts for two different people within a few days of each other, however it seems statistically improbable.

Reading along this thread, it appears that perhaps what might have been best would be to approach the members involved to query, in private and in PM, if they are/were also posting as others. If they failed to answer or gave information that caused you to believe they were not being forthright, then diable the account. But to disable it first and investigate later...or place a member in a position to have to make efforts to reinstate themselves is just plain wrong. We've seen this happen about a month ago, and while my presence on here is of little importance, I can say that the way that was handled and the way that assertions that were made were never followed up on, is what has caused me to check this site less and less as days go by.

I am one of a group of long-time VJ members that all felt similarly. Many left at once. I remained here until now solely because of the individuals that post questions on here and in the forum in which I participate. I wanted to leave this board a month ago, but felt I couldn't because those folks would not be permitted to find me on another board where this sort of drama doesn't exist.

I don't know where you are Ewok, but in the USA there's something called "innocent until proved guilty". Might be wise to bear that in mind.

Unreal. And now KV has emailed you proof that her IP is not 67, but something else entirely. You are now lying, bottom line. Making this up as you go along, every time I say something, you add to the story. This is despicable.

The reason you feel you have to keep defending yourself is because you are wrong and you refuse to admit it. You are doing what DM said, shoot first, ask later. I asked you for proof the other night and you said it was against your policy to show this proof, but now you suddenly can post in this thread IP addresses? I get it now. You couldn't show me the other night so that you can make it up as you go along now trying to get out of this corner you painted yourself into.

[Captain Ewok 1,894]

I am locking this. No matter how much proof I post you will not believe me and there is clearly no way to overcome that. I bet if I gave access to the server logs to a third party you would accuse me of even having altered them. No way for me to win and plenty of room for you to keep this going indefinitely.

This topic is closed and I have given a full and complete explanation (far more than I needed to). Any further topics on this will be closed. You can PM me and I will continue there if you really really want.

Lol. I did not post IP addresses in this thread. I posted two digits and that is far from proof to a super skeptical person like you. I am not posting more due to the privacy policy.

It is all right here in the TOS:

Registration. When you register to the Service, you must: (1) personally provide true, accurate and complete registration information on the registration form (collectively, the "Registration Data"), (2) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data as necessary to keep it true, accurate, current and complete, (3) fully read and agree to the entire TOS for VisaJourney.com, and (4) confirm and validate your email address as part of the registration process. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to select a username and password and you will be responsible for all activities occurring under your username and for keeping your password secure. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or VisaJourney.com has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, VisaJourney has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). You may only register one account.

Note the words reasonable grounds to suspect.
