Kindly stop spamming threads where you're just talking with your own alt accounts. And resurrecting really old threads without a really good reason.

If you're feeling bored, you could head over to the Dink Discord (^ by hitting the chat button at the top ^), it's usually a bit more active than the forum.

Alright, I'm going try to explain this once, I dunno if it's worth it.

First, why do we think you guys are actually the same person? I'm pretty sure scratcher thinks this is because the IP address you are using is the same. To me, the way of writing posts also seems suspiciously similar. These accounts also appeared on the Dink Network around the same time. And you write as if you have known each other before, and many of your posts are answers to each other. These factors makes most of us assume it's just one guy writing on alternate accounts. It's worth noting that doing so is against the rules of this (and almost every single other) website. Do you have a good explanation for these discrepancies?

Second, why are your posts getting deleted? They are considered spam. You see, this is a forum. There are certain things that don't belong in a forum. This includes making multiple topics about stuff that has no meaningful content. I suggest you learn what is considered an acceptable thing to write a topic or post about in (any) forum.

Third, while I found Robj's insult a bit unprofessional, it still doesn't mean you can just reply with your own insults. Rules are rules for a reason after all.

Fourth, I'm not a staff member, this is just my opinion. Banning people is not in my jurisdiction, and AFAIK neither is it in scratcher's, his job is just moderating the forum.
But I think you should address the things I mentioned in the "first" column. Specifically, why does it appear that the users are using the same IP address? There are very few places that would give you the benefit of the doubt in such a case.

we know each other. we figured out about dink at the same time and like it so we all joined. most of the time when we make a post we put it in the off topic so it don't get put in the same row as the actual dmods and stuff. as far as I can tell we ain't bothering anyone with our posts either. plus it doesn't seem like this forum isn't that active anymore so what's the problem?

Cuz y'all are flooding the list of threads. Also how old are you guys? When I was in school I'd play games with my friends or just fuck around. Spamming some old ass forum seems like the most boring thing you can do.

but we are putting it in the off topic section. all the important stuff is in general discussion, and we don't make posts there. if you want to look through the off topic just go to next page it ain't that hard. not only that but most things in off topic are like years old so if you just plan on looking at them you were prob gonna go to the next page anyway.

but why tho? Like, why do you make these posts? what's the kick? I don't care if you're a bunch of dumbass kids or a jobless 30-year old with multiple accounts. My question is, what's funny about these posts?
October 17th, 01:40 PM

there is no point to any post in off topic. the point of us doing it is because we want to, just like anyone else that has ever made a post there. its quite literally there for random stuff.

You're really missing the point. You can keep posting in off-topic for all I care. I just want to know WHY you post these things? Literally help me understand the reason. Is it for laughs or what?

I've placed blobster7527, dinkalicious, and the other suspicious accounts on probation. That will limit their ability to post to about once per hour.

Based on a quick analysis, I was surprised to see that it's plausible there's more than one person involved, even though most of the messages are from the same IP address.

Sorry everyone - I let this one spin further out of control than I would have liked.
October 17th, 07:08 PM

that is not fair. the other accounts were harrassing us and being rude to us for just having fun. we are just kids who found a cool website that wasn't blocked at our school and wanted to have fun and a bunch of people we don't know were rude, tracked our IP which is weird since we are literally underage, and ruined a fun experience for us if anyone should be on probation it should be the losers who had such an issue with kids having fun -dinklyncool

Okay, I'm going to split this into segments.

First, the topic of the IP adress. I know you were using the same IP address because scratcher identified you on Discord as one person using multiple accounts. I belive now this is not the case. (At least certain) staff members can see the IP address you are using. I actually don't know your actual IP address, it was just a guess. You see, many times, accounts using the same IP address tend to happen when the person using them is the same. It's very common with people abusing multiple accounts. In your case, the same IP address is likely because as, you said, you were at school, meaning you were only using the same network. This was one of the reasons people believed you were the same person using multiple accounts. And this place has a history of users abusing multiple accounts this way, some cases uglier then others. Those users were busted by an IP check. And I guess by their behavior patterns or some other stuff that is likely only accessible to website administrators. I never had such a position anywhere, so I don't know the specifics.

As for other users being rude, yeah, I can't exactly defend that. But it's not my job to decide whether sanction anyone. But responding to insults with your own is still not considered proper forum behaviour.

For the spamming, I was trying to make a point before that certain things don't belong on a forum. Like messaging to your friends like it was a chat or social media. Or opening multiple topics that have the same content (Dink revolution). Even if it's about you protesting the decisions of a staff member. The reason why scratcher deleted most of your topics is either this, or in the other cases, because he assumed you were the same person making posts talking with themselves. This comes back to the IP check.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you guys are not alts of a single person, but I noticed a strange anomaly now. You posted this under the username dinkalicous, but the message signature is dinklyncool. That's an entirely different user profile. So I have some questions: Are you using each others profiles? Because that's also against this (and likely all other) site's rules. Do you use the same computer and one of you forgot to log out? Or is one of you actually abusing multiple accounts like it was accused? I think this warrants a response, because this fact undermines the claim that all of you are different people. And if one of you is using multiple accounts, I think you better come clean, because otherwise, you'll drag your friends down with you.

And for others: yes, I'm aware that I could be completely wrong and I'm just talking to a single person. But I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
