Duplicate NSC Accounts - who has them, and why?

[Bry Nylon]

Who are these schizo types with two or more accounts, and why do they do it?

I posted as Caesar Salad for about 1 day, as I had been away from NSC for about 2 years and forgotten my password, so I started a new account. But then I remembered my old password again.

I've got 73, but I need them for my job.

I work for MI6. And I have worked for the CIA in the past.

I foiled an assassination attempt on the queen once.

Snap.....i did the very same thing, hence Webbyson turned into *Gullsworth* or was it the other way round

Would be great if Bozza posted them all up on NSC one day.

Wow - I think that I set this one up years ago when i did a similar thing. I forgot that it existed. This will be Normal Rob 2s first and last ever post.

Incorrect. There are probably a couple in my IP as family members of mine use NSC

Yeh, he should

They are used for trolling and abusing people anonymously. Most sites ban them.

I thought it was VERY NAUGHTY to have more than one account

Next you'll be telling me Nacho Novo is Catholic.

I admit I have a 'duplicate' account, but it has less than 100 posts.

why should people have to ask? for what purpose does someone need 2 accounts on NSC unless its for mischief? I had one called Agent Taylor when peter Taylor was manager of palace, a parody but no malice.

Even more pertinent, why protect someone whos using an account to anonymously abuse and harrass another poster? If they haven't got the guts to post with their "Known" account why protect them?

yonkers and yonkers ago I seem to remember registering a "pasty_at_work" username because of some odd firewall thing going on at work, but never used it.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

I always thought people who had more than one username was cos they pissed off too many people under one name or had lost too many debates and basically ducked for cover.

The simple matter of fact that vBulletin does not provide a single click 'find duplicate user' function for administrators. To the best of my knowledge no other forum software does either.

So, to try and stop dribbling mentalist Looney ranting on...

- We do not encourage multiple accounts on NSC
- Technically we do not allow them
- (Like most forums) there is not much we can do about them

However we do have plenty of tools available to try and detect duplicate account if we have need to investigate particular user(s) either from our own observations or from a tip off. When we find them we will either ban the duplicate account or, my preferred approach, merge the accounts together. This can have quite humorous results because, for example, it then becomes very clear if someone was talking to themselves using two accounts they controlled.

We think very, very dimly of users with a posting ban in place who go on to open another user account to post on NSC during the period of their ban.

 

[KneeOn]

Not got a second account

 

[pasty]

Bozza. If "Pasty_at_work" or whatever it was I called it still exists, feel free to delete it

 

[8ace]

Doesn't one the mods have more than one account?
