It would seem all these "troll" accounts are independent. Another blow to the forum elite. I expect unjustified bans to be the next step.

Canvas element fingerprinting is a favorite of mine. Proxies, VPNs and TOR
It would seem you're one of the trolls. You don't need to be a moderator to connect the dots or to check IP Addresses which are easily changed. I'd rather fingerprint your devices and compare them. Their current message board software allows for you to take advantage of it. Canvas element fingerprinting is a favorite of mine. Proxies, VPNs and TOR won't hide you.
Give it a spin, trolls

I don't know what any of that means.
Anyways, go read post #1226. RR basically says he knows where the supposed alts are coming from. Just send him a PM and he'll tell you.
They will if you're using different devices. But how many alts have that kind of discipline?
Anyway, who done it dude?
True. But most people don't change their setting and local ranges don't need to be unique anyway.Sometimes not even then. For instance, with a WebRTC leak, if their LAN IP is set as the non-default within their NAT router (assuming they're using one in this case) then suddenly they're identifiable. You can simply analyze their message content through linguistics and so on but that isn't taking advantage of the technology at our disposal today.

However all in all, I'd say it would be enough evidence if you could fingerprint the hardware. However, it's not impossible to usurp.
@Kovalev's "Man Bag" so who is it?
Let's say that somehow I do know who it is. If I did out them then they'll just deny it. Then it becomes their word against mine. I could've tampered with the data I may have already collected, after all. Even I can't be trusted. I also haven't been here long enough to have earned much trust, if any. One thing is for sure though. If this board's mods had access to the set of APIs that the site I linked to has in full, these particular trolls wouldn't be around. The average life expectancy of a troll isn't long, it's quite short. You'd have to be one hell of a talented one to stick around and have all of your bases covered each and every time you log in and post.
How is it your word against theirs with all of the evidence?

PM their names if you actually have an idea. I've tried PMing others but I haven't heard anything yet, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious. When people are saying "the truth is stranger than fiction" and "you'll enjoy knowing what's going on", I tend to think I'll enjoy knowing what's going on. And I like enjoyment.
there are no trolls, you idiot, except for RR ... he was the only one trolling, pretending he had inside infoPUO3 already caught one of them and banned him. This is a very small group of members with some alt accounts that they're using to troll the thread. He and RR make the executive decisions here and they're not based on anything I may have or could have the ability to harvest in terms of leaked data; spilled local and environment variables, entity tag data and other personally identifiable info.
Let's say that every one of them is banned. What then? They regroup, come back, and the process repeats. The bans need to be thorough and the concept of fingerprinting is not something mods have access to in their CP. They would need these respective APIs to expose that functionality for them to use in an official capacity. Not something that a person that's only been here since May could independently give them. It's considered overkill and that's why it isn't in BBS software control panels in the first place. If trolling ever becomes a massive problem in their forums, or select forums, then these extra measures should be added imo.
