Troublesome issue/doubt

Well, I was going through today �s recent contributions and I thought 6 printables looked totally alike. When I went to check if they were from the same user, since we all know that we can only make 3 contributions per day, I noticed that "both" users were from the same country, were new, and had identical ws layouts.
These are "their" accounts:

http://www.eslprintables.com/buscador/author.asp?user=325516#thetop
My point is: it �s obvious that some clever Joes must have already thought of having two accounts to send more than 3 contributions per day, get more points right away, and no harm, no foul. But should it be allowed? If you �re going to cheat, at least do it nice and smoothly... Or am I totally out of my business and that �s standard stuff?
I don �t mean to be rude, it �s just that it seems so unfair to me, if it �s one of the site �s rules to have only 3 contributions per person, and you �re trying to bend this rule, at least be a little more careful.
I don �t know for sure. But I �d sure like to hear some others � opinions.
Sorry for the inconvenience of reporting some user without a sure idea of what �s wrong, but still... it seemed unfair to me.
Thanks for the attention in advance.

Even worse -- There are nine ws, from 3 (not only two) different users, but with the same layout and even the same names and descriptions.
I just can �t see a coincidence there.......

This does seem a little strange. The downloads are for the same school, same level and same series of tests for both users. They include tests 1-2 and a revision sheet for one user � and test 3, 4 &5 for the other user. Very strange-but I will say that each WS seems to be original and useful for overall intermediate ESL revision. |

Hi!
I guess you have just discovered another way of cheating. Unless Victor finds a way to solve the problem, you can always report the worksheets as being the copies from another user, even if it they are from the same person. At least he/she wouldn �t get the points 3 times for the same worksheets.
Best wishes from sunny Portugal

You are only allowed one account.
When Victor finds these anomalies he wipes the accounts.
This has previously happened to a member with 1000 �s of points who was using the 30 free per day to give herself more points.
A bit pointless really to have more than one account and upload the same worksheet on the same day...
