Ask WGT a question here.

  I know there is a minor difference between a multi-accounter and a "restarter" but in my mind it is still CHEATING!

  There are players that are NEW to WGT and are learning how to play/ moving up the tiers fairly then comes along a "restarter" that has played WGT for a long time and knows the game very well.  This "restarter" understands the greens, understands the clubs, understands a lot more than someone that is new to the game and has a HUGE advantage over the others in the lower tiers.  If this "restarter" plays credit play, tier specific ready-go's, monthly tournaments, etc.. he or she in my mind is stealing credits from honest players that are learning the ropes on WGT.

  From Icon's response I have to admit that I am VERY disappointed as to how WGT deals with this "restarter" situation.  I know it is very hard to police and there will be restarters/multi-accounters no matter what, but if someone is admittedly doing it and winning hard-earned credits from honest players how can they condone this???

  Being a Legend I understand it doesn't affect me as much as affecting the lower tier players but those newer players need an advocate with some experience to hopefully change this policy.  Think about it WGT....

  This argument needs to be made. I think WGT should clarify that there should be a good reason for "restarting," to be allowed on a case-by-case basis. Or wouldn't it be enough to allow the player to change the user name, while retaining the rest of the account?

  ArrVeeAussie:

  The point I have been trying to get across is the difference between a multi-accounter....someone who has more than one account running at the same time, and a re-starter...someone who has closed an account before opening a new one.

  So many are having trouble distinguishing between the 2

  Rob :)

   

  Rob, you have been calling people ignorant for not being able to distinguish between a Multi-accounter and a Re-starter but I think it is you who is confused. YOU claim to KNOW the difference and are here and now stating that you are a Re-starter...... BUT....just 7 days ago in your last CC you ended up ADMITTING to being a MULTI-ACCOUNTER. So which of your two conflicting statements are we to believe?

  You have admitted your identity on some of your past (now closed) profiles, so it is in black and white in wgt’s closed accounts data that you were definitely ‘robvanblue’,  kayvan’,  ‘belinda74’, ‘Aussierob56’, ‘Thelonestranger’ and ‘Legendinwaiting’ amongst others which you have yet to admit to.

  Let’s take a look at the facts on these profiles:

  Robvanblue -          Start date: 02/10/2010 / Closed date: 11/10/2011

  Kayvan -                   Start date: 14/01/2011 / Closed date: 02/12/2011

  Belinda74 –            Start date:  28/03/2011 / Closed date: 07/12/2011

  Aussierob56 –        Start date: 20/08/2011 / Closed Date: 12/10/2011

  Thelonestranger – Start date: 22/10/2011 / Closed date: 11/11/2011

  Legendinwaiting – Start date: 12/12/2011 / Closed date: 30/01/2012

  Can anyone spot any glaring 'overlaps?'

  By your own admissions YOU have clearly been MULTI-ACCOUNTING. Are we NOW to believe that you are just a Re-starter?

  New question for WGT, why is it that after bringing this guy’s wrong doings to your attention many times since last October he is still allowed an account (or two)? Why is it that he can post in this forum at will yet mine are still being moderated, is it because he spends a lot more dollars on here with his gifting in his quest ‘How to win friends and influence people?’

  And the general question is why is it that I can put this information together and join the dots but wgt have failed to?

  WGT - why not just come out and say "we allow multiple accounts, we allow sandbagging".  There is absolutely no reason good enough that someone should have to start a new account, but for ArrVeeAussie to (re)start many times says that you haven't a clue what is happening.  What reasons are good enough to start that many times???

  It's time to come out and say what you really mean, or buckle up and do something about the situation.

  Icon's and Pizza's posts are an absolute disgrace for any honest business in my opinion.  If you are going to allow this, then you should scrap all forum moderation and allow people to name and shame the cheating tw*ts!  At least we'll then know what we're up against.

  DISGRACEFUL!

  Mio, I KNOW MANY, MANY WGT members feel exactly as you do on this topic. At the same time these many, many members just do not want to get involved and or waste there valuable time fighting against it. Why? All this sneaky, deceitful, multi-accounting has, and will continue. WGT has opted to put the issue near the bottom of there priority list. WGT has always been aware of this nasty issue but when you look at it from the other side, the "business side" well then, the issue becomes much different.  As long as WGT is maintaining - increasing revenue then at the present time WGT has much more important work at hand then to deal with this non-sense that  has been mutating since the beginning of time.  IF the day comes that password ex-changing, multi-accounting affects revenue, then and ONLY THEN will WGT take a strong stand on the issue. Until that day comes, IF it ever comes, choose your friends wisely. Once your in the community long enough, you know who the multi accounts  / password ex-changers are. I have come to find it sort of amuzing. 

  Foot note: If you have never seen the movie (Sybil) with Sally Fields playing the part of Sybil - WATCH IT. There you will see the true personality / character of a password ex-changer / multi-accounter,,LOL Hey! Ya never know, Sybil may really be,,,,hmmmm,lol
