[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 908533, member: 1"] It's not really a change, there have always been a couple of people that I am aware of that use more than 1 account. I'm not sure why most of them do it, but most of the time it seems harmless. On the other hand we have seen a couple of situations where multiple accounts were created by a poster and then used to support the posts of their other account to make their views look more accepted. That undermines trust and is really annoying. When we find multiple accounts being used in that way we will delete the clone accounts and may also ban the main account if they do not comply with our requests to stop. The situations where multiple accounts have been banned were pretty much isolated to 1 or 2 malicious users that were using puppet accounts to converse with one another and support their self generated drama and attacks on other members. When people are banned for that reason any other accounts they make will be closed. It may take a while to spot them, but when they surface, they will be banned. We don't ban people quickly or without good cause, but when we do, we will reapply that ban every time we see the same person. [/QUOTE]
