I've been seeing a trend of multiple posts lately, just the other day someone posted the same question 4 times. and 2 days before that it was 3. The moderator has been doing a great job deleting mult. Posts though

Can't prove it's the same person, but sure looks like it.

Not just "please" - it's against the rules:

As Unknown008 correctly points out there is NO need to create multiple accounts simply to ask the same question!
