It brought up my account name, server, and all my stats.
Now, I'm not trying to be accusatory, and I appreciate the time and effort the mods give to the forums. But my question is: if multiple accounts are a TOS violation, then why have a separate page for people with multiple accounts to choose which one they want involved in the merge? By the same token, it's pretty obvious that multiple accounts can be easily found and documented, because it's being pulled from the master database to be displayed on that page.
How about the devs doing a mass purge of all multiple accounts on all servers? Give everyone a couple of days' notice and let them choose one account, and all the rest are deleted. There should also be some kind of safeguards in place to prevent multiple accounts going forward, at least under the same email address. (On 16, there was one player who got kicked from our alliance for being an idiot, and before he left he whispered to me that he had 17 accounts and was sending all of them after me personally. He never did, so I don't know if he was just blowing smoke or not.)
