We should report this to chess.com too. They might know the needed precautions to be taken as these guys might be either hackers or cheaters.

Is it the same one person making a bunch of accounts and duplicate accounts, or just a bunch of individuals with alts?
The names follow a pattern, which is a name, 2026, and name, "NT", and 2026, so it seems safe to assume it's one person. Definitely show this to Chess.com staff or whomever appropriate.

We must definitely be the same person
For a long time, I have been visiting the Chess.com Community club (https://www.chess.com/club/chess-com-community) almost every day. Almost every time I checked the "notes" and the "newest members" section, I noticed suspicious anonymous accounts with names that followed a repeating pattern. Although I wasn't smart enough to take screenshots at the time, I kept seeing the same pattern again and again every time, and decided to make a topic about it.
To gather evidence, I scrolled through several days' worth of new members on chess.com. HOWEVER, in the places where I clearly remembered seeing those suspicious usernames, I found nothing. It seems that the chess.com staff may be banning those suspicious accounts (which I appreciate, as this cannot be a coincidence).
As a result, I was only able to capture a few of the dozens of accounts that shared the same pattern, "NameNT2026" and "Name2026." I have no idea where the rest of the accounts went, but I clearly remember seeing them among the members repeatedly for a long time. What could this mean, and what might it lead to?
I would also like to note that I posted this to seek truth and gain insights from other esteemed members, not to accuse or annoy anyone. I am committed to promoting peace and fairness on Chess.com.
