What about the users that didn't get a ban for their second account? Nothing against them, just trying to understand the logic behind it. Does making an alternate id instantly result into a ban of teh main account whether you flame with the second account or not?


Zax was ban dodging. He got banned and instantly created an alt to continue what was going on. This is why his account got an extension. Selnor is another example of someone who used an alt to try ban dodge.

In certain cases some people may make an account while they are banned to discuss it with the mod in question, which is why the original accounts may not have a ban extension, while the alt does end up with a perma.

Ok, this makes perfect sense. I just don't get how making a second account for any other reason, such as to keep posting on forums (even without breaking the rules) or a second account just cause you can, would not affect the main account. In the first case, you're banned to be taught a lesson. If you keep posting, nothing changes. In the second case it's harmless, but still a waste of time for the mods who have to look up ip addresses. Then again, if you don't mind it, why would I?

How many times will J Allard be able to change his account? and will his past moderations carry on with him?

I've only changed once, asked permission first and was told my mod history would carry over (which I figured it would anyway).

The OP said that you changed it twice. I thought that changing accounts twice and that quickly was ridiculous. So I thought maybe it was a strategy to avoid past moderations. Changing it once though is normal so disregard my comment.

LOL I wasn't even aware that Ninjablade was back for 3 rounds this time around, man, guess I'm missing all the fun shit due to having a life lately.

I edited the OP, J_Allard transferred to LudicrousSpeed not UndauntedWisdom.



Signature goes here!

It also seems like BlackGoku09 is at it too. I wonder who is the worst between him and Ninjablade.

So you identify alts using the IP? What about users who use alternate IPs?

Say, I've had a curiosity for a while. Why is the permaban date "9th Jul 10"? Any special significance, or it's because it's a day that already passed?

Nope, as long as the second account doesn't break any rules.


I see. I just find it a bit of a waste of time of the mods, but that's just me.


There are usually reasons people make alts though, some are legit reasons like to ask questions. If people were just using two accounts with neither breaking rules I expect one of them would have to be banned, although no one does that, right?

If one is not banned and has a second account, I can't think a legit reason of creating it. If they are banned and want only to ask a question, that would make sense.

Creating a second account when there is nothing wrong with your first one is techincally breaking the rules, since you are only allowed to have one. So I don't see why only one of them would have to be banned. The second is banned by default and the primary one should be banned for breaking the rules, right? Like I said, I'm not asking the mods to do anything about it; i just find it weird how people make alts all the time (quite a few have admitted making more than 5 in the past) with seemingly no legit reason, as the one you mentioned.
