    talking shi'ite as usual bugsy - loads of people get declined for vanquis cards.

    Rarely people who don't have any credit history though, thats Vanquis's main target market.

    You "both" browse the same boards most often - Loans, Budgeting & Bank Accounts, Credit Cards, and you "both" love to take umbrage with Experian's services.

    Your habits unique to you, such as sentence structure, word choice and posting style are all identical between accounts. This is how I sussed you.

    Trust me I'm very good at this. The thing that makes it *really* obvious is that you keep replying protesting your innocence, and I'd make a sizeable bet you're lying ;)
    Oh, you wee bazza!

    You don't even need to be good to tell it's MUGsyBrowne.

    You always have the option of reporting the allegations made by maestro as abuse, if indeed you are not BugsyBrowne.

    If someone were to accuse me of being an 'alias', I wouldn't tolerate it.:rotfl:

    Not snitching is certainly an admirable trait, but necessary for your own well being and reputation in this case. Allegations must be challenged.

    By choosing not to report the defamatory comments which are effectively assassinating your character, you are in essence giving credence to those allegations.

    He won't report me because it would immediately bring attention to that which the forum team probably haven't cottoned onto yet, and get him PPR'd again.

    Wouldn't it be a howl if someone or even yourself Maestro were to bring your suspicions to the forum team and wait to see what happens, i.e. would You-kip AKA BugsyBrowne be PPR'd again :eek:

    Whatever the outcome, then we would all know for sure.:D

    Its more then likely the forum Team would've banned Bugsy's IP Address too, if they wouldn't of done he could've set up another account quite easily.

    Ip addresses can be changed, or people can use a proxy server.

    I'm not getting involved in whether you're another user or not, just saying an IP ban wouldn't be that difficult to get around!
    What will your verse be?

    agreed, most ISPs use dynamic IP addresses, all it would take is a restart of the router.
