double users at Groups
as i am searching users at groups for my 8bitlegends webpage
for dedications and honor the 8bit heroes i have noticed a lot of double (and even triple) entry at groups with the same handle. i can give you examples for that so we need to delete all the Leftovers , maybe need to execute sql to remove/delete all the double entries |

Could be people leaving and rejoining at a later time. |

It's a known phenomenon also known as the Rambones syndrome. Happens if people switch forward and back between old and new handles. Causes sth like a fissure in the time-space-continuum leading to these double or triple entries. So in a way sceners traveling through time become their own grandfathers. |

i was referring the same handle maybe with a change of a letter could be caused as someone else didn't notice the
present handle and added a new one of himself but actually
it was already in the groups (often with the right handle for the first record) so there are double entries . im available for msg if you want examples for this fault |

Along with the examples you may as well come up with some SQL magic finding these "with a change of a letter" entries? I mean - LIKE %smthg%- is not finding such. |

I could only think of these kinds of examples:
The Supply Team
Various sceners with same handles due to entering/leaving/re-entering groups.
But preventing such would mean new database fields/complicating things. |

In the case of tst members, while it is accurate, I find excessive to state they left for a couple of days or one month then reentering. If it was for many months or some years I could understand it, but come on *sigh* |

f.ex: Zorlak of Genesis Project (i will do a list later
and tell you more members there are definitely much more ) i aware he did leave and enter the group later, but should it require double entries?
i don't think so. if it make it complicated so this is
another issue |

@Dr. J - That is the only way to handle someone leaving a group and returning later in the database. |
