It's been a while since I posted one of these, but I'm so pissed of right now I can hardly type, and need to express my anger about this.
I got this PM from Disturbed (Efob in Fable on Splitpaw):

Just noticed i have 20 referals <3
Sure i read somewhere could change it myself at 20 but cant seem to find it anyway.
Be grateful if you could change it for me, or point me in the right direction.

So I'm thinking wow, dude has only 22 posts on this site but has referred 20 new users, which would give him super user status and an account upgrade, this must be a new world wide record.
And then I check it out, but can't figure out why, if this person referred 20 users, not a one of those users shows up under his name when I do a referral report on the vBulletin software.
You see, I know, but he doesn't, that referrals will show up under his user profile to him when he clicks his name, but they don't show up in my system until they complete the registration by clicking on the confirmation email sent as part of registration.
My system is set with various safeguards to prevent multiple registrations from being confirmed by a single person. So the system didn't allow him to confirm any of his 20 "referrals", yet the dumbass still sent me a PM asking for the reward.
It didn't take me long to get to the bottom of this. Our hero registered 20 different users from hotmail accounts - get this - all from the same IP number:

Efob, you just wasted two hours of my time cleaning this BULLSHIT up, individually DELETING all those fake users, and having to reindex my database to fix the problems that YOU caused.
You now have the WW record for most fake users entered in the biggest retard plot I've ever witnessed to get a title on this site.
20 fake referrals, all from hotmail accounts, and all done on 5/22 from the same IP number? DO YOU THINK I'M THAT FUCKING STUPID?
The only reason I'm not banning you is so I can delight in ripping you to shreds if you come back with some pathetic and lame excuse denying this. Like, you had a boy scout convention at your home for people from nations that don't use vowels, and all 20 of those new users wanted to register on this site from your personal computer after you showed it to them, right?
