Bad Traders making new accounts

Post by DavrosRTS »

Hey, just wondering if Bartertown has a way to tell if bad traders ditch old accounts and just make new ones? Is there a way to see the ISP number or see some sort of hard drive "finger print" to tell if someone is really faking it as someone else? Just wondering, thanks!

I'm always getting tips from users suspecting dual accounts or general fishy business.

Most of it just amounts to coincidence, but sometimes we catch people up to no good.

Rest assured, we're constantly looking for stuff like this.
mon·ey: noun; a good that acts as a medium of exchange in transactions.
Money is a good like everything else; if your rating is lower, you ship first whether money is involved or not.
