We are struggling to complete our new PP site and this will give you the tools written about to tackle people. Is taking time as we too are volunteers with real planning jobs etc.
In the interim, if there are any people that you think may have duplicate accounts let us know ppadmin@planningplanet.com and we can get someone to dig in the DB to see if their details appear to be the same etc.

I havent found a way to search for posts made by a particular person, let alone a particular IP!
I did consider possibility of multiple people using the same IP, but theres the strikingly similar language style, plus one of the 2 people posting up job offers said he was based in Mexico whilst the others said UK, plus the job offers themselves looked dodgy.
Aside from an open admission of guilt, I cant think of any more ways of gathering evidence with the tools and information available.
Its an odd coincidence that a lot of my favourite words would seem to readily apply to this guy. Most of them would also be a breach of forum rule #2, of course.

’Chris Danniel’ has posted a job ad for forensic planner
George William has posted a job ad for P6 planner in UAE
Dunno what this chump is up to -maybe trying to get hold of some cvs to test the competion or just enjoys playing sillybuggers but I’m tempted to just delete everything I can find posted from this IP adress because he’s getting on my tits now.
...Does anyone have a way to contact PP admin about blocking this IP?

Dieter responded with a vaguely sarcastic comment about Johns 0.1 yr planning experience, and then Bob Benham jumped in to support his alter-ego with the below (copied here as I deleted the post):

MF Dieter,
What’s your problem? You always insulting Juniors on the forum based on their experience shown on PP which is not genuine in most of cases.
Are you mental sick????
You shown your 31.2 experience this means that you started planning since childhood during your mother pregnancy.
Rather than appreciate and guide them them in a proper way like others Arnold, Gary, you always shown aggressive aatitude with UK Junior Planners.
What you think about yourself???
Donot abuse UK Planners here .... ...OLD CRAZY GM MAN

Then after I deleted his post and before I had finished telling him why, he posted this:

Who deleted my Post???????
What a Fucking Forum and Fucking people like Dieter here?
[end]
I havent challenged this guy yet on having 2 profiles as I didnt want him to be aware that we can see his IP address, in case he finds a way to circumvent it.
Any thoughts guys on what to do about him? I really dont like the idea of him using multiple personalities to back himself up and bully anyone who disagrees with him.

Bob Benham is using an alias of John William, or at least they are sharing the same IP address
The language style, abusive content and anti-UK tendencies does indeed seem to be very reminiscent of Charleston. But if so he has changed IP addresses since he left in March.
Whoever he is, I can imagine no legitimate reason for having multiple profiles on PP.
Is there a way we can ban members, or even better ban IP addresses?

Morning,
I havent found a way to search for posts made by a particular person, let alone a particular IP!
I did consider possibility of multiple people using the same IP, but theres the strikingly similar language style, plus one of the 2 people posting up job offers said he was based in Mexico whilst the others said UK, plus the job offers themselves looked dodgy.

Good Morning
Is it possible to search the PP forums using IP addresses?
And have you condidered it may be two guys using the same office PC?
Best regards

Totally agree Gary and I also like the use of the word chump, it is one of my particular favourites that I havent heard in a while!

Ive sent an email to James Williams explaining the situation, and requesting that this IP address be blocked -awaiting a response.
In the meantime, Im just going to delete any new posts I find from any of these profiles

Found 2 more profiles with the same IP adress!
’Chris Danniel’ has posted a job ad for forensic planner
George William has posted a job ad for P6 planner in UAE

I was worried this might happen.
John William started the following thread

I have deleted another post from Bob Benham today which he left under a thread that was started by John William.
The banning of members would be down to the techies but I wholeheartedly recommend it for this cretin!!
