Are you getting the same passkey with different email addresses? You shouldn't be.

I have 3 email addresses. I requested a passkey using each one and all 3 passkeys are different. When I request a passkey be resent to any of those email addresses I always get the one associated with that particular address. At least that's the way it was last time I tried it.

Yes it is a different passkey with each email, it is still a pass key associated with my username so that should not matter shgould it? I mean I can use anyone as long as it is with my username right?

Yes, you can use any PK that you receive.

It is NOT tied to your username. It IS tied to YOU(via your e-mail address). YOU are the only one that can use it, as YOU are the only one that can get it.

Feel free to use it with MY username if you like. Points will go to my username, and I won't be offended in the least. But the Wu's that you turn in under my username, will still be identifiable as being turned in by one of YOUR clients.

Say if I knew your e-mail address, and I went and ask for a PK, or have it resent, there is NO way that I would get it. I don't have access to YOUR e-mail account, to be able to read the PK that is sent to YOUR e-mail address.

There is NO WAY, that anyone can get your PK unless you give it to them. Unless they hack your e-mail of course, or one of those e-mail setups that posts to the web somewhere.

As for the other issue... Say I decided to fold for you... OK, so you notice that you are getting a couple thousand PPD that you know you are not producing. IF you have been using your PK on all your clients, then you would have something to go on, to get the points that I contributed to your account removed. I mean if it offended you that I was giving you points.

You give your PK's, and anything that was not returned by one of your PK's could* be removed.

* Meaning that it has not been decided if this is a viable option at this time. Requests to have points removed from accounts, may be more trouble than it is worth, taking time away from more important activities.

"Could" being the operative word here, since none of the suggested implementations are ready yet.

To my way of thinking, "removed" is the wrong way to go about it. Rather there should be a way for a person to say "I only want to see the points that have been contributed by my PK" and then whether the username was spelled correctly no longer matters . . . or to summarize "my points" that match certain combinations of UserName, Team, and PK. It's a question of having a good database query rather than having somebody make manual edits to the data in the database.
