I don't know anyone that would do something so sadistic like having an alt in this forum. It's almost criminal with it's mind-blowing trauma to the community!

That's what I figure.

yep, that's what a friend of mine did, and it was okay. don't know why he changed it though, but I guess it was because you could infer his real name from the first account...

So did I.
Couldn't someone say "oh my other account, I've stopped using it" and then do the same again and again swopping backwards and forwards? How many times can you do that?

They cant be 'using' two accounts at the same time anyway, they would have to log out of one, unless they used 2 computers I s'pose, and then they could only be making ...[text shortened]... time - hence using only one account......

Someone please clarify before I try it. 😉
I think gatecrasher said something along the lines of "if it's clear abuse it'll be dealt with"...

So, if you inform RHP that you wish to discontinue using one name you close that account and start again under yr new pseudonym and a p1200 rating? Is that right? No other way to change yr name?

I read somewhere in the forums that it would normally only be changed for that reason.

That's different from having another username and account at the same time though.

If you don't play against yourself it couldn't really be abuse could it?

If they are active at the same time in any way, you are breaking the rules. This includes using the forums.

OK.

What exactly would be considered 'active'?

Say on monday 1st account is used.
On tuesday 1st account is not used [ie,not active]and 2nd account is used.

NB.This is a hypothetical question as far as I'm concered but I am interested in the rules etc.

User 120513 became User 224920
User 116279 became User 12949
User 133340 used to be User 248770, has trouble with his User 11203
and User 263981/User 203616 is such a User 161715
That's pretty funny.


I got one question?

PHLABS: How can someone actually have the name cockwhore? Is there no filter on screen names?

I think there is now... There are worse names out there, and Russ has changed them in the past.
