    I just realised that I don't think it is scramble banning the multiple accounts, I think Twitter are deleting them as most of the people that were obviously fake have been deleted from Twitter lol

    I think it's both. Some accounts were removed by Twitter, but Scramble also bans account names from tweeting and removes their previous tweet.
    Also hope that they will delete the PSP and do something about second hand stuff. Because they are cheap ppl vote for them without knowing it's second hand and they will only have one to give away.

    One of the accounts suspended was BillDavis76. He has now created a new account with the exactly the same name and I note that he is following several MSE'rs including Tulip, ttony111, & ickle87. Does anyone know this person?
    His 1st tweet for the MP3 player is still showing in the list even though he's suspended and there's also another one for his new account.

    Several of the other people who are suspended still have tweets showing and there are still some "dubious" people who are not suspended. But it won't win anyway.

    Did anyone see that Fozzy2k8 had posted a request for tweets on the main comps board at about 1:30 last night. It showed he had been a member since last December. I reported it to abuse and it has been deleted and he doesn't now show in the members list.

    Saw BillDavies too! I flagged him but he returned. I then saw he was following MSE ppl and asked on twitter if anyone knew him, but don't think anoyone does. He's just trying to get some followers.
    Scramble says loads of accounts were suspended, but the PSP still has the same number of tweets! So yeah, their tweets should be removed.
    Didn't know Fozzy was a member! That's mad!

    He tried twice to put a link on but couldn't cos his post count was too low. His post count was showing as 2 and his thanks count was 1 but neither of his posts last night were thanked, so it looks like he had a previous post that was deleted
