simple question

[crete]

are abers allowed to have more than one user name at a time on this site ?

[redcrx]

not sure about allowed but some certainly do have. have you got more than one crete? I feel a bit left out sometimes as ive only got redcrx :(

[Sasha13]

If they create different accounts there's nothing to stop them, surely?

[MiniN]

why would you want more than one?

[crete]

red never used any other name. like you.

From the Site Rules:

"Do not abuse the AnswerBank�s registration procedures and attempt to acquire multiple usernames."

It happens though, and I can't see any major problem if additional names are not used to upset or abuse others.

[crete]

why would anyone require more than one name. ? are some held in reserve for when they are banned ?

[jedimistress]

They may want to answer their own questions or have a debate with themselves.

[whiffey]

Here's an example. On another site someone asked "Do you enjoy mathematics ?"

Quick as a childish flash, I set up a username Pythagoras and replied "It's ok "

Little things.

[redcrx]

reasons:
to ask a question that youd rather not ask as yourself (i wouldnt ask a Q about a v personal matter if 4getmenot about)
because theyve been banned and want to get straight back in rather than wait for AB ED to sort it
because they want to cause trouble and hide behind another name.

I hope the first 2 are the main reasons for havinf multiple names

I have many usernames. As well as Champagne, I am otherwise known as 4getmenot, whiffey, pa___ul, redcrx and crete, to name but a few...

[whiffey]

What about Toad ?

[redcrx]

lol @champagne

[funkymoped]

ive only got the one, but some folks have more... i cant see the point myself, but each to their own..
:-)

[ummmm1]

I have a few but I don't use them to give abuse and I think most people know they are me

[B00]

I just know that if I made an alias to make insulting comments that i'd ruddy forget that it was my B00 ID logged in.

:-(

[crete]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. has a few, oh come on behave yourself.

[B00]

Ummmm's admitted she has a few username crete, are you saying she's lieing and she doesn't have more than this particular one? Or you saying she's shedloads of 'em?

[ummmm1]

I don't keep them secret. Having 'ummmm' in the name tends to be a give away. I got banned three times in one night!!!! Goes to show I need at least four!!!! :-)

[crete]

BOO are you ummmmmmmmmms spokesperson ?

[B00]

No crete, i'm not, she's more than capable of speaking for herself!!!

However, now i'm sorry if I read something in your post that isn't there, I get the distinct impression that you asked this question to deliberately start a squabble of some sorts. I just wondered if your anger (if any!) was directed at Ummmm

Again, sorry if I read this wrong.
