10/10

Hotlisted.

Cap your multis and you could go far.

LMAO ^

Respects though and good work. Thank you for keepin deez streets clean

I knew we could do it. This is some "dingy dong the witch is dead shit" inthink I just heard a munchkin sing.

Is there a reason?

My unwavering vigilism

Why though?

Also, Swiftkeys and Rican are two different people. I'm not sure if the OP was lumping them together or not.

They’re definitely the same. Rican knew how to convince people that they were different. He slipped up though and I’m sure that’s what got him caught.

Proof was found of rican accessing swiftkeys Nd hawtlantas accounts and in at least one instance using them to vote against someone multiple times

I find it hard to believe given they've both been on the site since like '06. They would have had to pretend to be separate people for like 14 years. Seems unlikely. I guess Rican could have got access to Swift's account at some point though.

The latter

Rican has definitely accessed Hawts account before.

It’s Rican we’re talking about. Are you aware of how many accounts that dude has on here????

I don’t think it’s fair that you’re now standing up for the guy now that he’s banned but dudes been under fire legit for the last few months. You could’ve slid in at anytime and said he’s not swift but you didn’t.

Im certain the people who created Rican & Swift were two different human beings.

But we know for a fact that Rican logged onto the Swift account multiple times since october.

Amongst other things lol

nic just plays the devils advocate. legit has no real thoughts of his own.

There goes half of LB’s active accounts

About time.
Props to the staff.

I'm not really sticking up for him. I don't know the evidence against him and I don't pay attention to those "exposed" threads because 99% of the time they're bullshit.

This was my point. That's all.

What-up, Nicholas. Friend here, the thing is, you're right, the exposed threads are bullshit, 99% of the time the man in question get's away with whatever bullshit he pulled, as a former mod, and veteran of the site, you are completely aware that it's virtually impossible to get stone cold evidence against someone, which is what these people prey on, in Rican's case, he fucked up and gave himself away, but I truly believe, going forward, for future cases, it should be done the way a jury decides a mans fate, with deliberation, factoring in all the information they have (in a lot of real life cases, not all details are known) factor in their intentions, their previous tendencies, and come up with a verdict.

In my honest and humble opinion, and I don't know why no ones actually giving any attention to @Aggo or my posts about this, we need to ban multis, I can literally say, 99% of all cheating cases (other than obvious bites and what not) stem from Multis. We need to remove them, there really is no need, I can't figure out one reason for a multi, thats a strong enough point, that would withhold them from being banned.

Banning multis isn't the move, chief. Think of how much fun you're preventing for people who don't use them nefariously. Consider Danny Tanner, as an example. Or any of Brayne Ded's multis. That's why no one's jumping on board the ban multis train.

I agree that decisions to ban people that aren't entirely clear cut need to be decided by a jury of moderators, that's what the mods have always done.

I think I'm being misinterpreted here as being anti-banning Rican. I'm not, I haven't seen any of the evidence. And, maybe if I had one gripe it would be that staff has always taken a policy of being far too much of an in-crowd. The facts daren't be shared with the userbase and if I had it my way it would be a lot more open but it is what it is. I'll just take your word for it.

As for multi-accounts I'm definitely not for banning multi-accounts. The reason being that I've seen it, it's been past policy. It doesn't work. Plus, some of the absolute best moments on LB have been as a result of multi-accounts.

- YOU WISH winning multiple titles, including audio and then being revealed as UA.
- Meta4 being revealed as MahVulus.
- Rican, Swiftkeys, Jimmy Backhandz and all of the multies that were around back in the SMACK days... and it was actually entertaining. Not a source of bad blood.

It didn't work before, it won't work now. If people want to cheat, they will and in reality people don't cheat that much. This site is easy as hell to moderate when X & Pugz are ghost so let's roll with the punches and have fun.

Then the issue continues, if there's a multi that wants to fuck around for fun, just message a member of staff and prove you're who you say you are by sending a PM on your main, its not difficult to get around.

The whole point of having a multi is being anonymous. Just don't cheat & be cool.

Do people come here to play “hey find my multi if you can” or actually battle? Like the site I’m sure wasn’t built for people to create a thousand accounts because they wanna joke around and play different personas every other day.

Wanna troll? Change your name and avatar

There is no need for multis. I understand the appeal, but at the end of the day its fuck shit. What are we here for. You wanna scheme, you dont need danny. Just scheme. You wanna fuck around, you can do that on your main. Be versatile. The cons outweigh the pros 10 fold.

#BANMULTIS

The site was made to do what ever the fuck we want, aside from cheating.
MODS have multis, they probably have more
Than anyone else. The problem is cheating not multis.


Plus site rules CLEARLY state it’s cool to have multis as long as you don’t self vote. (Cheat)

No need to change the LB constitution over some cry babies.

I really don't understand how or why people are saying "every single time cheating comes up its because of multis". Other than Rican, I'm not aware of any multi-related cheating sagas on the site besides apparently someone called Silk or something, who was connected to Rican anyway. Almost every "cheating exposed" thread I've seen in my time on LB is biting-related, and the other more famous scandals I'm aware of are things like paying for votes, abusing staff powers and buddy-voting, none of which have any connection to multis. There are some clear benefits to multi-accounts; I think it's good for top-tier battlers to see what people think of their bars without their reputation attached, or for people like Brayne to make gimmick accounts or Danny Tanner to be more successful than Rieper in the rankings.

Besides, doing shady shit/cheating with multis is against the rules anyway, as is sharing accounts. This way you're only going to stop the innocent side of multis, whereas the people that cheat will still cheat and lie about it because that's what they were doing anyway, and adding one more rule to break isn't going to stop them.

I think multis are bullshit. I'm cool with Lock, but I will never be cool with facing a guy who has dirt of me in a tournament final but I'm not allowed to have dirt on him. I was told I lost that battle, in which I made jokes about Perplexity being Lock, because "I couldn't be sure it was Lock". It's bullshit to be a known guy, with a background and history, and attempt to hide that for the purpose of winning battles. Lock obviously has changed that and won almost every title under his own name, which I respect massivley, but it still stands that someone hiding their identity to hide from personals is bullshit.

EDIT: This is just once instance where that effected me. I can't stress enough that Lock has achieved almost every single title or battle under his known aliases and this doesn't effect him at all. In this once specific instance, where he wasn't battling as himself, it pissed me off that I was facing someone hiding their "LB identity".

There is no mandate or demand for having a multi account. It's a simple fix to clarify the situation. The problem is, RULE is the head mod who personally has found great use out of multi accounts so it's going to be hard to drive that narrative home. I personally would fucking HATE to pick up a battle with Cain, lose, and find out I was battling RULE. If we're going to battle I wanna battle YOU, not a mask.

As for this thread, I feel the "Rican has logged into Swift's account multiple times....amongst other stuff" excuse fucking bullshit. What other stuff? Your mod panel has existed for 3 days, stop fucking hiding shit immediately. What is your full evidence against Rican and we can all get on board and move along? The most you conceal and hide shit the more people get pissed off about this stuff.

Or, you know, you could just not try to Sherlock Holmes every person you think is a multi account, and just battle. Your(collectively, you who are.) obsession with exposing multis is your problem, not the site's.

Besides Rican, remind me of a time I tried to expose anyone else’s multi please? Because your response here is confusingly filled with assumptions.

I wish it was this simple, I really do. Too bad there's cocksuckers on planet earth.

This is true, and it's not just Rican, there are countless accounts that popped outta nowhere, knew how to battle perfectly, voted in a manner in which they were experienced, and now vanished, problem is, they didn't vanish, they are on a new multi, a new mask, a new identity, why though? What causes someone to ditch something and start over? When they have something to hide.

Agreed, whole heartedly.

My friend, I see your point, and I agree, but the problem is - there are people cheating on multis, this is a fact. You have to ask yourself, why did they create that multi, what is it's purpose, is it just for fun? Why is there an' uptick of them around tournament time? If you think i'm a cry baby, you're sadly mistaken, remember, me complaining about them will only help you in the long run. Guaranteed, you've already been fucked by a multi in a battle, you just don't know it.

Just before your arrival there was another member of the site caught for self voting on multis, he got away with it for three tournaments before he was finally caught and titles had to be reversed and it caused a giant mess. This is not something that has happened once, go to all the tournament battles, and look at the finals, and you will see weird random accounts voting on those battles.

I see what you mean with the Lock thing, I still think you wouldn't of won the battle, but I do understand your feelings (no homo) it's the same thing i'm trying to stop going forward. RULE having a new multi didn't help the situation though, see IIAM's post. It breed's this shit: "Mod's even have one". Smh. I understand its a topic of discussion so no hate on RULE (Clarifying that).

The fact that they appear in mass around tournament time and vote on your battles should be alarming to you, it's basically like a burner phone, you can do whatever the fuck you want on it and throw it in the garbage after, you only need to get rid of something quickly when you are doing shady shit on it. If multi's didn't have a giant history of cheating i don't think anyone would care about them.

I'm actually shocked this is receiving resistance, this is to benefit everybody. It sounds like i'm kicking up dust but i've seen it all before man, it's the same shit, again and again, I haven't even been here for that long and i'm already sick of it, how can you not be?

#BANMULTIS.

@Aggo @Seul to create a new thread, with the full argument laid out, and we'll have a proper vote and discussion.
