I was wondering how I was doing compared to the other twitter posters and noticed something horrible when I did so.  Most of the Twitter bounty hunters are using multiple accounts and I'm not talking just a few.  If you get a sec go out to the bounty section and find a Twitter bounty and start reading the tweets.  You will quickly notice there are only about 18 actual participants even though there are 3,000 in the spreadsheets.  This is actually a good way to find the multiple account violators as you can catch them in Twitter as they are probably smart to the bitcoin forum mod team cracking down on a mass scale.  Most are broken english with matching posts so its fairly easy to spot and feel confident about not falsely accusing anyone.

Is it possible or even a good idea to ban all newbie accounts from participating in any bounties.  Make it a site wide rule.  If this was added to an increase in merit for jr member to say 3 you may really smash these guys up for good.
