Are you saying that this board is just a few people with several accounts talking to themselves? Interesting premise...I'm not sure if the person posting after me would agree

It would certainly make everyone more identifiable, that's for sure. I dunno if it'd be super dead, though. I think it would just be a paradigm shift that people would adjust to and would, ultimately, change how how people interacted with each other knowing they couldn't hide behind an alt. It would also mean troublemakers would have to be more careful so they don't lose access to the board completely.

Also, are you saying they get one account and that's it? Like, if they get Banned is that the end of their story? Or could they make another account if their previous one got Banned, but would have to build up their Karma and make it clear who they were when re-joining the board? Your OP is a little lacking in detail.

One account and that's it. Any alts they have is banned and they're not allowed to make another.

That would certainly keep out the riff raff and cut down on the trolling and shitposting.

Also, what's the purpose of banning/warning/whatever, if someone can easily log into an alt?

It looks better if you officially ban/suspend accounts breaking the ToS.

The answer Error gave me is that it essentially controls things better. In other words, if you just ban a guy every time they mess up they can just come right back on an alt. Suspending them gives the chance they don't do that and just take a few-day break instead.

The vast majority of users that cause the worst problems are on an alt 5 minutes after they get suspended though. <_<

Yeah, it was a flimsy excuse imo lol but there you have it.

I wonder if Addy is back or if he got hurt too bad by the ban.

Now imagine if you can never have Alt's on ANY account, EVER, on ANY service throughout the world!

I think he had an alt for a few days but it got banned pretty quick, I think he is either legit gone now or maybe he lurks with an alt
