When did we?

About a decade ago, I saw some files called "modfiles" with stuff like the moderation screen, KOS lists, and usermaps. It was interesting. Lost them long ago.

Because they've always been so seems to be the only reason they stay so. And it's a silly reason.

I'm convinced it's private because the mods/admins of past all post on alts regularly, CjayC didn't want us to know that, and it's just stuck. I'd bet every mod/admin has an alt.

If it's because of that, they could just exclude mod accounts from the map. Bit like how you can't block or ignore mods.

On the contrary, I think it would defuse some drama. Then again, aren't usermaps indexed by email addresses? If so, then what's to stop someone from just making new addresses?

Of course, but there's probably more specifics to it than that to account for being on different devices.

You really expect something more sophisticated than IP for GFAQs?

What would be the point? There already an ignore function. >_>

Also how do the usermaps track you? If I sign onto gamefaqs using a public pc, or a friends pc, etc, then would it not be possible that my usermap gets connected to some randos I never met? <_<

Finally, in the event some user decided to stop being a horrible person, theyd never be able to use the boards without getting harassd based on past accounts

Just argue the context of the post instead of trying to rely on an ad hominem attacked based on what the user posted three years ago.

No it wouldn't, it would stop a bunch of needless drama because you could just dismiss someone and all their alts, not taking them seriously.

The point is more when you are dealing with troll alts. Easier to know to just not pay attention.

I think the idea is that it can lead to harassment. Chances are, if a user is going out of their way to hide behind another identity, it's for a reason (to troll, avoid being labeled by their main, etc.). There's really no good reason to make that information publicly known.
