How do you manage multiple accounts on GH?

[digi]

How does this work? Do I use VPN or can I just create multiple accounts under the same IP?

[swill]

I think it is frowned upon to have more than one account. Is there a reason you want more than one account?

[demik]

Ayyyy lamao

[hashbaz]

You have to be a Geekhack Gold member to have more than one account.

It is against ToS and I assume this is a troll post.

Well, you either have to be trying to escape a shady past or be cool with the mods.

That sounds about right.

Thanks Hash, I knew there was a right way going about this.

Sounds about right. Be one of GH's darlings helps also.

Actual serious question though Hoff, what about people like Punks? is that okay because the account becomes inactive after or do you have something setup?

[jdcarpe]

Just use Tor like everyone else.

[noisyturtle]

I mean if you aren't man enough to use your main account for everything.

Only *****es and banned have need for alt accounts. Don't get banned, and don't be a scared little ***** and you should be fine.

Well I know Hoff had one for Clackvent and CC has two...so all that applies to them as well?

If you use one as a joke once it's understandable, I'll never poo poo a haha.
And CC is violating the rules but he's had 2 accounts longer than most of the mods have been mods and it makes sense for the way he runs his sales to have two.
We all know the main kind of person who creates alt GH accounts, people who are ashamed of what they are about to do or have something to hide.

Alternate story line:


Turns out geekhack was just a fantasy reality ,  it was just 1 person the whole time. he wrote every post...



I've always thought having multiple personality disorder would be kinda fun..  because you get a "real friend for lyfe"  and he's 100% as interested in keeping you alive as you are..


So,   yea.. Foorennd...

[rowdy]

If you have multiple accounts, you'd have to spam a lot to get them all over 50 posts!

A few mods made dupes for Clackvent so we could participate.   

It also comes in handy for testing forum changes, so it's not going anywhere.

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

[baldgye]

Alt accounts actually can be really positive. I once upset a user on here and they took the surprising move to make an alt account to troll the spelling and grammar in my posts. Now being pretty seriously dyslexic this was a massive help and as you can see has helped raise the level of my spelling and grammar.

Alt accounts like this should be welcomed and praised for the help they provide to this community.

[tjcaustin]

How can hashbaz be demik's alt if hashbaz is my alt?!?!

What do you need multiple accounts for? I have one account and still manage to post as much drivel as 2-3 normal users. Casuals.

Well this was ****ing hilarious. Can't tell if trolling or srs, but either way lots of laughs.

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....

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.

DENIED! BAWWWWWWWW

[jbondeson]

Sometimes I think it would be easier if all vendors and mods had a second account for "official" comments.

Bro could recreate MMB for personal, Bunny could have CtrlAlt, and Hoff could have HoffDadVoice

[demik]

Can I have a second account? There is a story behind it but I don't wanna share it.

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
