Sock puppets?
Just wondering for a few weeks now, and can't find the answer in the FAQ. Does the board frown on having multiple accounts/identities here? I've never seen it mentioned, but I've never seen it NOT mentioned on any other board I've frequented. Has it just never come up?
Re: Sock puppets?
You only get one Board ID, yes.
It's a trick to catch, but if you do get caught, then the "both" of you get tossed.

Re: Sock puppets?
Ummm, at the risk of sounding stupid here, is there any GOOD reason why anyone would need more than one?
I am not attepmting to sound in anyway rude, but why?
It is an intersting place to read stories, chat, post in a forum...but what would be the advantage of having multiple identities?
Unless, of course, one has multiple personalties, then I guess it would make sense

Not much, for those, who obey local laws (forum rules).
Most such uses are bad, like trolling and avoiding account bans :-\
Maybe someone will suggest other uses, but that's the ones I have seen practically.

This.
And having conversations/agreeing with oneself (or weirdly, disagreeing). Or just attention-whoring.
