Well that is one of the things the point system does rather well. It effectively lets veteran players play games with bets too high for newbies. If players want a low-pot veteran game, they can round up players of sufficient caliber for a password game.

Drops- lots
Multis - very very few (but they usually spill over to the forum and get a bit heated so people notice them a lot)

I don't think elitism would be conducive... Luckily you should be able to rise out of the chaotic muck soon enough if you're a reliable player.

Multis, unfortunately, are still a part of Dip, but it also adds to the excitement in a way FTF doesn't right? But seriously, the points system soon separates the wheat from the chaff, and the accusations of a multi are usually resolved in a day or two.

For interest sake, who are the Moderators on here watching this?

It's just like pausing games used to be, a massive flood of players asking for games to be paused because it was something which frequently needed to be done which requires admin intervention. Now that it's automatic those have disappeared but we see all the multi-account accusations instead. But the ratio of multi-account accusations to games is pretty low, as Chrispminis' recent thread showed there are lots of people who haven't even encountered a multi-accounter. Multi-accounters in high points games are very rare, and because it's now relatively easy to spot and remove them they're rarer than ever

It's also a self-fulfilling prophesy, because people see lots of threads on it they look for similar things in their games. The majority of times I've looked at a reported multi-accounter there turned out to be no link at all, the majority of the rest are cases which can reasonably be believed to be friends etc (i.e. a link, but not a very strong link). It appears to be a bigger problem than it is

e.g. One time I manually paused a game in Facebook Diplomacy, since then there were constant pause requests there right up until /pause was implemented, some even appeared over here. I didn't pause any game after the first, but because people saw a post on it other people started doing it, and since there was so many presumably that made people more comfortable posting these requests even though no-one was actually getting a pause

I think to sum it all up there are 20 banned users on the site. Which means for all the different multi-accounters with multiple accounts, including people who were banned for forum stuff like spamming and "inciting hatred", the total comes to only 20. The number of individuals who are multi-accounters behind those 20 banned accounts would be an even smaller figure

This is despite lots of dedicated effort by the moderator team to look into each case posted, and software which automates multi-accounter detection.

I should really say "helps automate multi-accounter detection", because whenever it's not clear cut either way we'll often try to look up and compare games and alliances to assist the decision, which can't be automated.
Checking multi-accounters takes up the majority of the mod team's time, and it's a pretty hideously overblown problem, this is why "those two allied against me, and won't listen to reason, they must be multi-accounts" and other rather weak arguments are annoying when there are so more accusations than multi-accounters. The ratio of time spent searching / time spent kicking down sandcastles is too high right now

To be honest I'd much rather people used the points system in combination with moderators to fight multi-accounters, because when you ban a multi-accounter with a lot of points and force him to start all over that'll do a lot more good than banning one from low-points games which they could effectively rejoin anyway
