Nope, never happening. Well, if you made it but never gave rep or posted I think it would be ok.

Somehow people found out, and now we have ookla season. (Which is between Brandon's birthday and Peter Alshtrom birthday) It was Peter's account on the TWG forums, actually.

Chaos Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Ene is correct. Multiple accounts are strictly forbidden. We are not generous to people who do this, and I will not cry if you get banned because of it. Our Code of Conduct is very clear on this. There have been multiple bans solely on that basis. We will find them and you will be removed. Ookla season is over a decade old and is nothing new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don't get the lure - this is a real question. I used to be a part of a much younger forum community (they were for books not even considered YA even) and I made the mistake of making a second account that went unnoticed for a couple days. And then one day... both accounts banned. Instant regret. Tough luck. I had thought it would be funny or cool. I could be two different people! I would be in on a secret that only I knew about... everyone would be fooled. I urge anyone considering this to just not. It's not all it's cracked up to be, and you'd just be making a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know how multiple accounts are detected, but I am not going to say it because once people know the detection method, they can find a way around it. Anyway, my brother is getting started in the Cosmere; he has read some books and is getting hooked. Sometime soon, probably as a Christmas present, I will introduce him to this, the 17th Shard. Once he has an account, I don't want his account to be mistaken as a duplicate account for myself, or vice versa. Is there a way to ensure that something like this doesn't happen? Others can offer input, but I feel like a staff member such as @Ookla the Editor or Chaos would be best suited to answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmical Existence Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) @GakI'm pretty sure it ends on Brandon's birthday, which is tomorrow. I can't change my name for a bit, used up all my name changes for now. Edit: I just checked, and I've passed the date, so I can change my name whenever I want. Which is not yet.

Yeah, I haven't done exactly that, but I've broken a few rules in the past that I thought I could get away with. (I couldn't.) I've found that generally, you should assume the people in charge are five steps ahead of you. So even if you pull off what you consider to be the perfect crime, you've almost certainly left some evidence that can be traced directly back to you. Especially with computers, you should act almost like you're being watched at all times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
