Duplicate User System and Unverified Members

[shane]

As many have found out the hard way, our Duplicate User measures are in full swing. What many have learned is that using a proxy will not protect you from this system. We will not go into details about how an account gets flagged but resolving the issue is very easy.

 

First to identify if you have been flagged:

• Your username will be listed with a yellow strike through similar to Duplicate User
  
• You will see notifications that you have been flagged with instructions to fix it.
  
• Go to http://www.urgentfury.com/sendmessage.php and let us know why you may be coming up tagged. The most common is shared computers for family members. This is not an issue, we understand that members of the same family use the same pc
  

How to not look like you are trying to cheat the system

• Do not use proxy servers to try and hide the connection between the two accounts, it will not work
  
• Notify us via http://www.urgentfury.com/sendmessage.php that you are sharing a pc or network with a family member or roommate, etc.
  

 

Some of the other styles of usergroups that will not be able to compete:

• Banned Users are indicated with a Red Strike through line
  
• Users requiring verification White text with a White Strike through line
  
  • In this case log in and notify us via http://www.urgentfury.com/sendmessage.php as we have implemented a new system to verify your email before you register. Those that are not verified when this new system was added are stuck in a loop and we can activate your account for you.
