Hello Anamaria,
Thanks for an interesting topic. I tend to agree with Mary this time. This young man is uninformed and is basically wasting his time. Possibly one of the many "newbie helpers" should take him under their wing and explain the way communities like Adland work. At least he has a picture, so many of the other new accounts and they are in the hundreds if not thousands have no pic and no profile info. Double names, no profile info, no about me etc. will not get an invite from me nor will I accept an invite from them.
Mary raised an interesting point. Aside from the lack of info many of these are multiple accounts. Not only do they "support" themselves in their forums they do much worse within the community with the many multiple accounts in their possession. I've even witnessed members that use their wifes account in order to post in forums that are either dead or dying. So imagine what they'll do with multiple accounts.
It is unfortunate that this happens but lately it is becoming an epidemic within the community. It's a shame that the system can't recognize accounts that originate from the same IP address. But it might be that I've only become aware of this epidemic and it's been going for a long time.
Shalom,
Peter
