multiple accounts

[master of blufff]

hi everyone lets skip the part about being in favor of it or not. i have a suggestion i wish bga hears me.
if you want to close a player multiple accounts give him a choice to wich account he keeps .
give them a message dear user its against our policy for having multiple accounts so we give you a day to close them. before we do it.
so the player have a choice to close wich account and to keep wich
its more better way to do
thx

So you're proposing that when someone uses multiple accounts to pad the win ratings and reputation of one of the accounts, the mods should let the player keep the inflated account, and only get rid of the dummy accounts?

How does that improve things? If anything, that encourages people to cheat like that.

BGA Rules stipulate:
It is acceptable to own several accounts on BGA, as long as it is reasonable and does not violate another rule of the website.

Why have multi accounts been deleted?

If a player is caught cheating then BGA should delete ALL accounts!

not all players creat them for cheating winning points. specially players like me that plays co.operation games. elo is even disabled on them and no arena nor ranking is involved.
but people red thumb too much when youre weak. in time when you improve and now your a good player you see most masters red thumbed you so in order to be able to start a new reputation for youreself you creat a new account.
then when you have an argue with a player in a game he reports you have dublicate account and you loose the account you wanted most . and not the useless one . so its really hurtfull.
its not easy to become a mster in a co operative games
i worked too hard to gain a reputation among players and bang the account is deleted

ofc but in co operategames cheating is useless people like to play with best players . they dont care for your rank but the problem is you find enemies easily. that gives false report and theres no way to prove you didnt want to cheat or circle moderates. they dont actully check they just ban if they get a report.
with co operate games when you start to play your weak and you will get lots of rt from best players and theres no way to tell them now i am a good player so undo them. so i created a new one to start as a skilled player. then my account deleted by moderations.
you wont cheat in a game when you have around 6000 games in it just in one account i have more than 15000 games of hanabi in totall. i dont need to cheat to gain anything in it
its just about a refresh start for red thumbs
you may tell its a way to circle red thumbs but its ok cause i am friends with lots of players in the new account; that red thumbed me in my other account. in cooperate games things are abit different . and red thumbs isnt cause they dont want to play with you as a person. but its for you as a weak player. so when you play well they will ask to be your friend and you feel good that now your a friend with the player that red thumbed you a year dooner. it shows how much you improved
there is no elo nor ranking nor arena involve in coperates games

I'm still waiting for a response to the following:

ELO System Updates
Post by lordalx » 13 December 2023, 09:41

"Red Thumbs for competitive play
One last thing that is going to be changed in a few weeks will be the impact of the Red Thumbs.
You can currently give a Red Thumb to any player with which you had a bad game experience. This prevents you from competing against them in ranked games or the Arena, but not in Tournaments.
This system can, and unfortunately is, used to prevent some players from competing against the best players. Considering that the Red Thumb system is being abused this way, on purpose or not, we will update the way Red Thumbs are impacting the matchmaking for the next season."

We won't get another response from master of blufff - the account no longer exists. Whether he rage-quit or got nuked by moderation may never be known.

Is it even possible to see who I’ve given green/red thumbs to or to view who has given thumbs to me?
