That’s why banning multis won’t work. Anyone using one for nefarious reasons still can, and with a basic level of effort and competence can avoid detection. Banning multis will only stop the good guys, who just use them for fun and who bring a lot of humour and activity to the site. I think more comprehensive rules around multis and new accounts, like higher barriers to tournament entry and compulsory registering of multis with staff, is the best way to curb the malevolent multis but keep the innocent ones.

Okay agreed, completely. Everything you said is true.

Butttt, I draw the line when moderators KNOW regardless of VPNs etc, that somebody is another person, then they let is slide.

This isn't a debate on whether or not multis are good/bad, this a debate on whether or not is should be allowed. It's hard to detect people who dont want to be dected, agreed, but some people are very open about this stuff.
