But yeah this was technically announced with the other changes. Though for obvious reasons it went under the radar and very few people actually knew this was a new change.
I took that to simply mean changes were coming and would be announced later, not that they were already in effect (much less what exactly they were).

Just close the board at this point. Dont give Fandom the satisfaction of saying We tried.

Is there a reason you seem upset by this?

Given CE is effectively a closed garden this seems like something that would impact the game boards and special interest boards more than here, so I don't know why anyone would be upset over this.

Especially considering some of the users are on the game boards notorious for purg/ban evasion are far worse than the notable CE people.

My real question would be how strictly this is going to be enforced and if it might actually be automatic at some point. I can think of one user off the top of my head I know is posting on CE on an alt right now where I'm pretty sure their main was put into Purg after this change was announced.

Let's be fair, the users who tend to be a problem aren't very good at hiding who they are.

Doesn't matter, if the mods can't actually link the accounts either through site metadata (shared cookies, IPs, etc.) or personal admission they can't actually enforce this rule. Suspicion isn't enough, the community's been notoriously bad with witch hunts along these lines.

I'm saying a dude could make it obvious as sin that he's another poster but with no actual proof he is there's nothing that can reasonably be done. There have been many cases where this board's community and especially the Politics board's community that migrated here have accused two posters who actually had nothing to do with eachother of being the same guy and it'd be ridiculous to penalize anyone based off of false suspicions like that.

But why would they need to do that? The gameboards are full of perfect angels that cause no problems, unlike 261 and CE that was/is full of bad faith toxic users!

This makes sense. I got purged about three months ago and all my other accounts got hit at the same time. Seems a purg means all your accounts on your usermap get got.

Which tbh kinda makes sense. If you arent meant to be visiting the board then having alts is a way to get round that. Logically it makes sense. It also means if you get purged on CE you are DONE.

A mod's suspicion is good enough grounds to warn / suspend for things you didn't actually say; I'm sure it's good enough for determining who the latest Tails alt is.

TBF DToast engages with the community a lot more than previous admins are. I feel his hands are tied much like SBAllen was.

Unfortunately the more he engages the clearer it becomes that everyone would be happier if his role was filled by a literal rock.

Wow, seriously? (I mean, I know we can't say for sure DToast did it, but just it getting modded in general I mean.)

That's just fucked up.

Edit: Oh, it was just locked. Not nearly as bad then. Still a tad iffy tho.

why are alts allowed to begin with? It seems most of unsavory behavior happens because of alts to begin with, like someone would go harder on their alt than a main account. Just seems easier if everyone was only allowed to use 1 account

Tradition at this point. The recent changes here seem like a good way of keeping that tradition while also getting rid of some of the problems it can cause.
