First of all, yes we suspend spam/troll accounts.  Any attempt to disrupt or manipulate the forums is against the rules.

Second, we don't publicly "out" people who do this. We're not interested in trying to shame or expose people. We just want the forums to be a fair and orderly place.

However, since @theMMAmessiah decided to bring it up himself:

He was already caught previously using multiple accounts to drive up his own post score and drive down other people's.  This was a while ago and he was told not to do it.  He admits it above.

Yesterday he was involved in a heated debate and clearly getting upset in his comments.  A new account was created that was controlled by him (or his girlfriend) that immediately began handing out thumbs up to messiah and thumbs down to the people who were disagreeing with him.

That's the definition of a spam account that's trying to manipulate the forums.  The account was suspended from the forums but not from using the rest of the website.  His 100 points were not taken away as suggested above.

If the account is really his girlfriend's and will not be used to try and thumb-bomb anyone who disagrees with messiah, we can remove the suspension.

And we can let the court of public opinion decide what they think about @theMMAmessiah's usage of the forums.
