uh, encouraged by _who_? i think it's explicitly against their stated
rules. probably meets legal definition of fraud, in fact (tho good luck
catching someone in the act).
as for the question posed by the original poster: if it's a pal, tell
him to cut it out. chances are, tho, you don't wanna go so far as to
actually report him; friendship is based on a sense of security between
two people that includes the ability to reveal one's shortcomings (even
wrongdoings) knowing the confessee won't go and tattle (unless, of
course, the transgression we're talking about is something profound,
like murder, that blows the terms of the implicit contract out of the
water).
if it's not a friend, tho, i say bring the hammer down on him.
