It depends on their intentions
Multipleusernames arent so much the problem as are the intentions of those creating them.If someone creates a multiple username for a laugh then no harm done as if you were to remove every aspect of the site then there wouldnt be much left.
If someone creates a multiple username in order to conceal their identity to pursue an agenda then yes there would be a problem there.
The way i see it is like this.Those that create multiple usernames and who do so with an agenda in mind are breaking the rules anyway ,multiple username or otherwise.
The rules are there for the poster not the username.

its like what i said about the reviews before.Call me self opinionated or whatever you like but as obvious as it is ,its not so much the reviews as those who post them.The same goes with abuse,usernames etc.the prob is the ppl and how they use them.
The only way to solve this is punishment by banning.Again this seems straight forward enough but it isnt due to the differences in the viewpoints of differing ppl ,mods included.
The biggest prob i have seen with sites is that there is too great a variation in the application of the site rules due to no fault of anyones.For starters nobody wants to see a person banned or to have a harsh ruling where ppl cant have a laugh but the line needs to be agreed upon and drawn.
Another prob is every site has rules in small print on the registering page but nobody reads them and nobody cares.If i have seen,heard nor would i believe someone is registering on a site,reads down through all the small print and says "nope i dont agree with this so im not going to join".Where am i heading with this statement?Simple.While we all may not know all the site rules ,we do know the difference between having a laugh and sheer downright vindictiveness and nastiness.The first will keep ppl posting and more will join.The second will drive ppl away.
The way i see things is we all have a pm box.If ppl really want to act the bollox then do it there and let others post in peace.
Again i really think that the mods and admin team should straighten out amongst themselves ,whats tolerable or not and then apply that 100%.Otherwise we will always have inconsistency and that will always (whether it is or not) look like taking sides.
