mfw this has turned into yet another multi account accusation thread.

This is why you never make these kind of threads. Never.

I already said, don't point out who is multi in this thread, we don't need that bullshit

Bottom line: I do care but I am still figuring the best way to handle the situation. For the time being multi accounting is frowned upon (and strictly checked and forbidden in tournaments etc.) but not banned.
Wait, not banned?? I didn't know. Oh great, map vote/top score/ranking/priority star spam/download limit/ban evasion hooray :(

What if we're all somebody's multi account? What if our lives are one big lie?

What if when we die, we are sent back in time and reincarnated as someone/something else so that every single organism is actually us, just at a different stage in our 5th dimensional life?

There's a solution : Redirect all the traffic to the scoreboard to another site and make our own private scoreboard server.

No Cookiezi allowed though, then I finally get the chance of getting some #1's \:D/
And no Rucker, MAID, KRZY... wait, I still have no chance then.

If that happens I will be the first who will spam the scoreboard with multiaccount scores (as long as I have a chance for that).

P.S. A temporary solution which will last for several minutes. It will change nothing but only the link name to the scoreboard.

Don't worry if I ever code it i'll make sure it stays clean of multi accounters.

And anyway it can be used for tourneys and mods tourneys.

Hey buddy, you don't like the idea? Then just keep it to yourself. Nobody's forcing you to do it, no need to be a dick here.

At least I am trying to look at the idea from different points of view compared to the others.

I don't get it. Can someone explain to me why someone makes multiple accounts for scores (or more than one score on a song)? Seriously, this is beyond my logic.

It actually is pretty easy to control multis if you get some people to check out fishy scores and just go ban them, thing is osu!'s staff won't move a finger to solve this since the cheaters are not the problem but us giving them attention.

What about we could have a score checking team?

I doubt that because peppy mentioned a lot of times that they already have a system for checking the multiaccounts and it does work. The problem is not spotting them but how to deal with them.
Kotik_old
why don't we just go like valve? ban everyone!

no but really. peppy should dedicate a team, he can trust, to seek the leaderboards for "multis". whenever a certain person from that team, finds someone he/she'd suspect to be a multi, he/she would send out a warning to the person, after of course, looking at their profile; if something like "joined: 27th august 2011" would show up, and the person would have a top40 on an insane, that would just help, and then a warning would need to be send out. if the person then continues to play like this, then an instant ban would be appropiate.

just putting my idea out here.

also, i'm european as you obviously see, but when i saw you basically saying "only asians multi" i dropped my food. stop being racist. ._.

just quickly saw that, and i wanted to add: have you ever seen this "system" being used? not to attackt peppy, but i honestly think, this is just made up, since i haven't seen it being used, and with all these multis, it's hard for me to believe. proof of concept please.

the account ratio for chinese is ~3:1 and ~2:1 for the koreans.

i never said to ban any special kind of the world. just whoever looks suspicious. :3

I was just quoting Peppy's words. It is not me who is writing software for Osu!. If you don't believe that Peppy is saying truth then you assume that he is lying.

Also yeah I was talking about !Multi since it did show who did log in with what account and how many times.

*peppy *osu! :3

However multis and cheaters take stupidly long times to get banned and get their scores deleted (if they ever are), which could be easily solved by having a team for that but peppy just won't do it, and if he ever does he gonna put some of those guys like ztrot or Jarby which are obviously trustworthy for him but they don't even play the game or have any idea about what's actually doable or not.
Gorlum
So they have a few top scores using multi accounts. But who cares?
Is it so important for you to be #35 in some song and to be beaten after 1 week? Multi accounts don't have some solid high scores and rarely reach #1 score anyway.

Why? Multi accounts are barely an issue at all as far as i can tell

They would be an issue, if they were continually taking Rank 6's or above.. especially on the harder maps.
But you know what? They pretty much don't, ever.

The entire situation is 100% exaggerated, and because of that, the Multi account names seem to spread like wild fire, which makes the easy situation even easier to solve. Am i not right here?

All i'm saying is, it's insanely easy to filter the Multi accounts which need to be banned, from the ones which aren't very much of an issue.. remember that having Multiple accounts barely passes as a rule in the first place, there is nothing wrong with 99% of them

The problem is that this insanely easy thing does not get done as often as it should in this community.

Yeah KRZY, what i wrote was my opinion. I wasn't stating facts or anything, even though it sounded like that.

I see Multi accounts as being completely fine in almost all ways, there really isn't much wrong with having a couple of accounts. The problem is when people cheat on them, or get some crazy rank 1 and leave the account to die.
That is one of the reasons why peppy put the rule there, but even so.. the rule feels too strict to me.

A small group of experienced players is all it takes to get rid of the "bad" Multi accounts. And like i said before, opinion.

I see, no problems.

I completely agree with you, but this has been suggested and denied before. Sad :<
dvorak_old
If there is perfect algorithm to find difference between multi account and comupter sharing or family,
this will be implemented eventually.

Also we should not use human-power to solve this problem.


All what we can do now is make/write down good algorithm for it.

I have an idea to get rid of multi accounts.

The top 40 players on osu simply just beat their scores on every song.

Problem. Solved.
Ephemeral
this is a pertinent issue i see, but the approach from most people in this thread isn't really helping things.

a team designed to sit down and figure out who are multi accounts will never work. like dvorak said, the only way to address this problem is through technology, and we already have some pretty neat stuff in place. we know who the multis are, it's just dealing with them that is the issue.

!multi was disabled because it was unhelpful. !multi rarely (if ever) provided information that would help us detect multi-accounts. it was too easy to fool and has since been replaced with the automated system that i mentioned earlier.

i can't actually say what is going to happen, but rest assured that something is happening. that account standing thing in your profile has something to do with it.

Will this new solution be implemented fairy soon or when osz2 is released? I mean we're all fairly aware that a LOT of the new osu features are going to come during osz2 but we really have absolutely zero timeframe for when it's actually going to be here. I mean it could be in a month, it could be in 2 years.

What would be funny is making the multi appear in profile, even though it's not banned it'll be some kind of public shame.
