Got a question for webmasters.
Since finding a MAJOR hacker/cheater in my data base, I am looking at EVERYONE's account. I noticed a member with 2 referrals and all 3 have the same IP address. Different names and addresses.
Is this something to be concerned about and should I delete all 3 accounts???

If the IP is the only indicator that it can MAYBE be a cheater, you should not.
As long all 3 accounts are active and the members make their clicks, they are YOUR active members!
It's up on the ISP-service, but with some you have always different IP's like at AOL or like i have with my DSL-connection (I'm only not really in danger to be called a cheater, cuz in this gptre-business are not that many german DSL-User
)
If all 3 accounts are showing something else , what lets you think, it's a cheater like same password or same way how the email-adresses are builded or something like that, you can maybe think about, to delete them.
Me i would not delete accounts when they earned some cash and are still active ...(they also earned it for the upline and the whole program!).

I agree...you can't go on ISP address alone. Look what happened over at paidbizop...he did that and look at what it cost him in members.
You have to look at the whole picture...names, passwords, ect. If you need help to determine all this PM me and I will do my best to help. Best to not post info here as ( a) it is private and (
you don't want to tip the possible cheaters off.
Just my 2 cents...errrr make that .000000002 cents worth...LOL!!
But realy, I will help you if you need it

Agreed... this info is best kept in PM or in the Private Forum. 
It takes a little while to figure it all out Skarpa...then just about the time you figure it out... WHAM!... they come up with something else. Best of luck!

Thanks everybody! I appreciate your opinions very much! I will let this go for now and just keep my eye on them. They are not putting out any major red flags at all, I just wasn't sure about the same IP thing!

Thanks all!
