Take a look at "anitoon"'s collection... http://www.rfgeneration.c...oon&folder=Collection

Since I collect Atari 2600 carts (among other consoles) I know how *impossible* some titles are to acquire, so you could imagine how surprised I was to find that anitoon claimed to own many "Rarity 10" titles. Upon further investigation, it appears he simply checked off *every* Atari 2600 title to add to his collection, and now it appears he's doing the same with other consoles.

If you look at the All Collections list, you'll see that (surprise), anitoon is now "#1" on the list with 3,531 claimed titles that he owns... http://www.rfgeneration.c...r=true&action=viewall

I can only hope that anitoon must be a teenager, in which case he may not yet learned the true meaning of "Honor & Integrity".

I haven't noticed such blatant abuse of the "Honor System" in anyone else collections, but I wonder if this has happened before? What are your thoughts on the matter?

I would guess it is ac again.
Last time something like this happaned it was someone from West Springfield with the name ac.

He just added an assload of games to his collection sent Den stupid PMs and stole pictures from Laurels pics and the web and put them in his collection.

It also says that this person has 22 posts none of which exist.
Going to have to wait for Eddie or Mike to get more info about it.

His 22 posts don't show, because I moved them all to the recycle bin. Here's an example to show you why:

{As Strong Bad speaks, the background grows red}  

STRONG BAD: Wait a minute...This isn't heaven!!!  

{Strong Bad flies to the left side of the screen and starts pounding on it}  

STRONG BAD: WAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


I banned his IP, but I guess that doesn't work on the collection pages.

I can remove him from the board, but I can't, or don't know how, to remove him from the collections.

Well I wouldn't have deleted the guy's account without giving a warning, but it looks like Mark already did this.  Still, the guy probably deserved it since he was obviously spamming.  I would have liked to compare the IP addresses he and AC had.  I did notice that a LOT of his games had the comment "AC" in them.  So, it likely was the same person.  As of right now, their collection files have not been deleted, but the collection folder has been completely cleared.  Thus, he now has 0 games in his collection because that list was indeed totally bogus.  

Thanks Peart for this post and the PM you sent me regarding this guy.

Yes, this site is very enjoyable and it has lots of nice people.  You're wrong about one thing, though, Doug.  I'll knock him off the top! Smiley
