This user: https://stackoverflow.com/users/761669/errorerrorerror

Keeps making new accounts.

He/She just asked another question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6683575/change-source-of-calendar-how-to-do-it-with-a-button
Using a new username.

I know it is the same user because they admitted on chat to making more than one account because they kept getting BANNED on Stack Overflow, also because the same @ErrorErrorError user has been on chat for a while asking about the building of his/her site.

Can this please be remedied?


This is the search on SO for the user's website and the number of questions with different users all using the same site: https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fdev.icalapp.rogersdigitalmedia.com.rogers-test.com

    Just curious - did the merge result in the user getting enough rep to downvote (125), subsequently causing the revenge downvoting?

I can't confirm LiquidNitrogen yet, but the other five are definitely the same person. Merging now. Thanks for the heads-up.

    I don't like to merge without ironclad proof of identity. Was trying to decide whether the circumstantial evidence was strong enough. By the way, there was another which you hadn't found; I thought you were looking at the same five socks I was elsewhere.

  • I don't remember. I got it from the email address. The IP is shared among quite a lot of people, so I can't just go by that.
