    Should we attack, en masse, and reduce that figure significantly? Or just let him know we know? Or will his account be suspended?

    Well, I've let him know that we're on to him and I'm busy deleting the answers where he's posted the same answer two or three times to the same question (accepting all of them to get the rep boosted). I've stopped short of reporting him because it doesn't quite fall into the troll/spam/abusive categories - it's just plain dishonesty.

        Look at this question; how to change tick color of check box[^] And look who the first comment is from, and also surprise, surprise, they have the same problem.

          Surely being dishonest is abusing his priveleges as a member, is it not ?

              What is all this obsession with Rep points? Why on earth does someone care enough to game the system?

                I agree with you, nuke both accounts of all points! make him start afresh, and delete the sock puppet account.

                    Vanity, or possibly an attempt to become an MVP by being seen as a high-rep user. Of course, I have both a high-rep and an MVPship, so I must be the ultimate in vanity. :-D

                      You have pretty much all the high level CP stuff, maybe one should create a yoda one just for you, the profile image you have overlaid on a codeproject orange shield would work just fine, and then it could be known as the JediMaster.
