...to wonder how MNHQ knows that a poster is a PBP?

Just wondering really - I presume they have to use a new email address to create a new account, so how can MNHQ link that up with a previously banned account?

except I had an account 5 years ago which technically is still active but all that hacking business occurred and I think I had to change passwords which I never did and now i wouldn't let me. I have re registered with the same account and no issues except I get the newsletter twice everyday! Security levels aren't that high!

Hi folks,

Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday eve.

As other users have pointed out, it's all very TSSDNCOP.

What we will say is this! We use a range of methods to spot PBPs. Sometimes we can spot someone's style a mile off, just like you can.

With regards to sharing our other methods, it's not really something we want to go shouting about as it'd likely give people ideas - not something we want.

Hope you understand and if anyone would like more information about a thread deletion, pop us a mail.

Thanks Lorna, that's perfectly understandable.

I'll have some of that Wine, please, if it's not too early?
