Does this mean that all the thumbs down from these banned members
will be removed from the active members?

Quote from: Matthew

There were a total of 850 votes from these 10 accounts -- they've been deleted. Some votes were used to [unreasonably] downvote a couple of users -- those users have had their Rep points restored to them.

I added a word for clarity.

There are people who mask their ID's and post on multiple accounts. What of those people? They even carry on discussions with themselves and sometimes even argue against themselves, to champion their own ideas. I would never have thought that traditional Catholics would do this and was quite shocked that this behavior even exists. However I DO know for a fact that this is going on here on Cathinfo. :surprised: :surprised: :stare:

It's certainly not impossible to do these things unnoticed. The question is if you know who's doing this, why not report it to Matthew? You don't do anyone any favors by sharing with us how shocked you are by the behavior and yet not doing anything about it.

Quote from: Dawn M A

I'd like to know how my site and my good name have been dragged into this discussion of which I know nothing about.
Quote

Dawn, I mentioned the site because it was mentioned to me by one of the banned people. I have no reason to speak unfavorably of it. That person mentioned you were a good friends, that's all.

Unlike some of you, some people would rather think the best of others instead of jumping to the worst possible conclusions and running with them without even having any facts.

I didn't mean to do that. If the person was banned for extra accounts, it still doesn't explain using the accounts for excessive ratings. 800 and some thumbs up/down? I didn't think that seemed normal.

I'm not drawing any conclusions, I'm just kind of confused. I hope it gets figured out.

I have not read AQ since they closed temporarily but I always liked Dawn M A. The owner of AQ kicked the most interesting and knowledgeable traditionalists over the last 2 years for the slightest criticism of + Fellay. I rejoined recently to slide a comment but it has become so boring and controlled (like RC) that I have personally written it off.

I would be very suspicious of inprincipio if the names are not reported. Why to make a statement that you "know for a fact" if you are not going to back it.
I don't know who Dawn M A is or her website but it seems to me Domitilla is not being fair.

I wonder what brought about this pathology. (multiple account user) Does this person think he/she is getting indulgences for giving a bunch of 'thumbs up' to certain posters? Does this person think he/she is building his/her own treasures in Heaven by attempting to manipulate threads with various accounts?
