Is having multiple accounts on is it normal permitted?

Is having multiple accounts on is it normal permitted? I just recently uncovered a person with two accounts here. His account got suspended/banned/deleted. I also asked a person recently if it was because of owning multiple accounts, and he said it was permitted. I'm still not sure, so I wanted to double-check.

**This post is in the "Habits" category because I'm just getting there, so be patient. :P
____________________________________________________________

So anyway, I've just thought up a few ways how people could use multiple accounts incorrectly. These thing may include:

-Impersonating other users
-Make them seem popular
-Confuse other users about who they are

Yes 8
No 7
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I've had someone impersonate me. Several users I know have also been impersonated. There's one psychopath who makes several accounts per day. Even before the one comment limit for new people, she'd make one comment (usually to say she was leaving forever...I don't think she understands what that means...) then create a new account. She's now had a new comment limit of zero per day applied to her and only her.

    And I'm sure by tomorrow I'll have hatemail from her twenty new accounts. I wonder if I can forfeit my gold...

    On the flipside, I know a few people have made second accounts just for fun/clever trolling. They're awesome.

    I made another account when this one was banned.

    • How do they give someone a 0 comment per day limit? Couldn't they just change their IP address and come back? I've been here almost 3 years and while there are rude users and trolls I haven't noticed anyone be overly harassing but maybe I just haven't noticed.

      Also how do people know when someone has multiple accounts. I've noticed it on rare occasions when someone slips or isn't hiding it at all but for all I know everyone here is the same person.

        Idk that's just what Udi told me. I know she's the same person cos she always says the same thing and does the same rage filled PMs. I did quite like the one about hoping all my children end up "defecto-loaves" though haha.

        Far as I can work out, the reason accounts get comment limits is primarily due to having many accounts on same IP.

            I'm happy to share, I've got a lot.

            I'm assuming you don't want the dick pics, though?

            • I'm good on those.

              That's funny you get stuff like that considering people have to pay for membership to send pm's.

              I've never got any unusual messages.

    Is it normal that I miss the old trolls of yore?

      • I don't think I recall this one, so maybe it's four...Or maybe more. My awesomeness is too much for the universe to contain in one body so as made it so that smaller parts of my awesomeness are made elsewhere...The universe is weird like that.

        However, this is becoming something like the Highlander-NO!...Duzlander.

        THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

        ;)

  • I don't think there's much they can do about it. They can ban someones IP address but that can be changed too.

    It is permitted. I know because I use my brothers account from time to time as my second account when he's not using it. He doesn't mind.

    From what I just skimmed under the "help" section of IIN, I did not see anything that expressly states that you couldn't have multiple accounts (but, as aforementioned, I was skimming). However, under one of the policies of IIN, I did read this (specifically, #6 on the list):

    Only you will know that you have multiple accounts. Just use a bogus e_mail address when you register.

    I think I've read somewhere that it IS permitted.
