What did they lie about? People on Reddit and right here on HN use multiple accounts all the time (look at all the throwaway accounts).

- ekianjo 3y agothrowaway is very explicit, there's no lie involved since everyone knows what it means. > What did they lie about? Fake users being piloted by the same person behind the screen. If that's not a lie, then I don't know what is.
- sbarre 3y agogeez, if that's your biggest complaint about discussion forums, you live a pretty blessed life. We're talking about Internet discussion forums here.. The amount of fakery, lying, bullshit and outright awfulness that happens on forums every single day across the whole Internet is staggering. If they used aliases to kickstart discussions and try to get people involved and contributing, I'm not sure that's something to get your pitchfork out about.
