- Poolwerx, Feb 24 2008, 4:19 AM EST
- Poolwerx joined our community, Today, 2:06 AM EDT
- Poolwerx joined our community, Monday, 7:32 PM EDT


But there is only the one profile, showing as joined Feb 28

The reason you're seeing three entries is that Poolwerx was sent, and has accepted, multiple invitations. Each entry corresponds to a specific invitation that Poolwerx has accepted. The first one was on 2/24, so that's the date his profile says he joined.

We probably should suppress multiple entries for the same account. Thanks for pointing this out.

To be clear - you will notice the site is called poolwerxzees. Not surprisingly, a lot of people would opt for a user name of PoolWerx. So it is quite likely three different people all signed on with the same name! Not the same person accepting an invitation three times. ( I have not sent repeated invitations.

I'm positive that the same person has accepted 3 invitations from 3 different email addresses.

Duplicate usernames are not allowed at a database level - the name cannot be saved if it's not unique.
