Like, on this site specifically. I notice some users have alts and they legit have who their main are in the signature.

If the point of suspensions and the like is to put people on time out, why are posters allowed to blatantly bypass it?

Especially since CE has a karma requirement. So users with alts in storage benefit while posters who are normal and only have one account are punished.

Nobody cares about karma, so why do mods not auto ip suspend users? Trying to create a new account while warned gets it set to read only. But if you just make the account in advance, youre fine.

Seems unfair.

There are lots of dishonest people out there. I say things I don't think sometimes just to present scenarios just from reading the amount of dishonesty out there. But yeah. There are lots of frauds out there. And actual frauds in the correct use of the word. I don't see what the big deal for using an alt is though. it depends on why I guess. I don't, but it could serve a purpose in honest ways vs why a lot of people actually do.

My favorite is when alts get exposed for pretending to be a different user and going into a topic to defend or agree with their main

a dedicated troll can easily avoid an IP ban. one of the lead moderators brought up the issue a while back when they finally removed admiral. essentially boiled down to the idea that warnings and suspensions on accounts discourages bad behavior without encouraging a counterattack like an account ban or IP ban would, those are reserved for truly egregious behavior.

not sure if i believe the reasoning, but that's how it was laid out.

Yeah there is some crazy stuff out there. Only reason I'd use an alt just because of people like that who lie and got something in their heads about me that isn't even true just to get a fresh start. But I don't really care that much.

I guess it could be fun if you are an assassin and want to mess with people who are actual douchebags. I tend to think most of the alts I've seen just seem not that bright though.

Truth is, most alts are just throwing fireballs to try and rile people up. Some are legit stupid, but most are just deliberate trolls.

that means you care
Everyone could stand to care less about this.

Disruptive assholes will disrupt, regardless of current username, and will quickly just have to make another alt anyway.
