Alt Accounts - Jacob__mybb_import1 - 09-06-2011
I have never been a member of a forum where it is acceptable to pretend to be two or more different people. Although alternate accounts can have legitimate uses, like making sure people focus on your message and not the messenger, so far I haven't seen any of these on here.
The moderators can usually determine who created an alt account, and using one to break rules is bannable. However, recently I've noticed that some people are using sockpuppets to do things that would normally give them a bad reputation, but aren't against the rules.
So, now the owner of an alt account will be displayed whenever they make a post. No rules were changed; using multiple accounts is still allowed. This is just intended to discourage you from pretending to be more than one person.

Hold on, it shows the users on the IP. What if you had a sibling make an account on the same computer?

Or a friend shows up for a day or two and you make the account at your house.
There ARE legitimate exceptions... we just haven't seen any yet.

So now we all think I'm Duck

Because obviously no two people could possibly live in the same house and have the same IP.
It doesn't hurt to think about things sometimes.
Cheesesticks = forumcontests
Duck = Duck, I have no alts at all.

I made that alt ages ago and haven't used it since about April.

I never realised JustAnotherJoe was LOL. In a way, I think JustAnotherJoe is a troll account.
