How do you manage multiple accounts on GH?

[hwood34]

can we just get to the point? why does gh let punksdead/hipsterpunks/whateverthe****now have multiple accounts? lesbihonest

I already asked no reply guessing it's fine if you don't use it afterwords although still messed up to allow some to do whilst banning others....

Sometimes you don't know the whole story.

   
Well it's Sunday, most of us have the morning off. Let's sit around the camp fire and find out why punks can have three accounts.

I'm all tucked in and ready for my bedtime story Hoff!

Sorry to disappoint, but it's not my story to tell and I'm busy all day anyway. 

But the story needs to be told, in all seriousness though I assume you have meetings for site stuff can I ask you to propose a thread explaining why and when, it's fine to have a second account.

it's not really on just saying we don't know the whole story whilst enforcing it on others to only have one account and letting some off Scott free, not saying I my self am entitled to know why but I would like clarification on this now in form of a official post as that's some shady **** if he's allowed a second or third for free.

not intending to stir up trouble but it seems very very funky to not tell us why some are allowed secondaries

can we just get to the point? why does gh let punksdead/hipsterpunks/whateverthe****now have multiple accounts? lesbihonest

if you're being serious it's because he's stopped using the old one, so he only has one account at a time.

Firebrand is asking "why" he stopped.

definitely looks to me like he's asking why it's ok, not why he stopped. and even if he was, it's punk's decision to share

To me, it looks like he's asking for the entire story. The entire story would then have a reason as to why he stopped, and/or even why the decision was even made. Then he's asking for clarification on why and when second accounts in general are okay, so there are no vague gossip stories needed to justify multiple accounts that linger without bans.

Furthermore, why isn't it the job of the mods or higher authority to simply explain why people are allowed to circumvent the rules?

It's almost like they wish to create ambiguity and confusion. Then when people complain why does X account get banned but not Y and they bring up the situation in question where a user has NOT been banned for breaking said rule, it creates a ****ing circlejerk of retardism.

IDGAF if Punk wants to say anything. However, mods should make it a point to make **** clear for users. I mean they make announcements for name changes. Why not make announcements for when they have to bend the rules for a user and make everything clear?

Also, I think I would understand the secretive nature a lot more if it wasn't so fairly obvious they were not the same person. It's not as if they are trying to hide their identity, so what gives? And let's just say, I'm not going to believe the same excuse twice.

This is only being brought up yet again, because of the implication of a third account being created.
It's all ****ing stupid.

It's clear that the policy isn't there to prevent a situation like PunksDead's. And it also seems clear that he's doing it in the name of harmless fun, unless you truly believe he happened to have some existential crisis at the 666 posts mark twice in a row.

Wise governing bodies draw their rules leniently and enforce them somewhat selectively, interpreting their intent rather than taking a wooden literal view. This fosters a sense of liberty where people may feel at ease without worrying about getting smacked on the knuckles all the time. Of course, those who insist on pushing boundaries will always feel that tension.

I don't really believe this. There are many instances of people making alt accounts for "harmless fun" and they are banned. Harmless fun is pretty subjective tbh.

Also, the whole point is that the rule is being broken and no clear statement is being made, just gossip. This is creating confusion and arguments about what type of multiple accounts are "okay" and which are not. And if we are going by your idea of harmless fun alt accounts are okay, then we have to define what is "harmless fun" exactly.

The whole thing is pretty dumb though. Lesbihonest.

Lesbihonest, the rules are dumb. All of them. Anarchy on gh.

It's all ****ing stupid.

Bee you nailed what I was asking, its still a rule someone is circumventing I don't give a flying fluk who it is (I'm just using punks as a example as well before anyone gets butthurt) they are still doing it and I want to know why its okay to do so, or revise the rules to say what Hwood pointed out, to something along the lines of "You can have a second account if you stop using the first" still a load of bollocks if you ask me but I would rather the moderation team re-evaluate the rules and clarify them more.

TLDR; Bee said what I said shorter

I'm not sure harmless is really all that subjective. Regardless, subjectivity is just another way to say gray area. My point is if you stay well clear of the gray area it's not confusing at all, and that gray area on the horizon just looks like a black and white line.

Or to put it another way, if people debate which account is more irritating, your alt or your main, you're probably well within the gray area.
