Rule 1729: No fake accounts

[on:]

Just in case someone didn't figure this one out: We don't want secondary user accounts here unless they are

• for sibblings, or
• otherwise of value to PEEL.

For both those and possibly for exceptions, I'd like to get an email explaining what the account is about before you register a secondary account. Otherwise, I'll disable both the new and the old account upon noticing them. This just happened to TehPEELer and Barfbag and their main accounts. Mail me if you want to get back on PEEL.

For people holding fake accounts right now, I'll grant 2 weeks of handing them in by email (include a reason why you want to keep them if you do want to keep them). After that, I might go through some logs.

Huzzah for someone doing something about this!

And just in time to put it in my comic somewhere...(don't worry, [-mArc-], eyebeams are at an absolute minimum.  In fact, I don't even know where the joke behind them comes from.)

PS: Will you let Lampy come back if I help keep him away from n00bs and the rant thread?

[Reply #2 on:]

Thank god someone is doing something about this. It's not funny in the slightest.

Praised be free-spirited German effeciency! Tallywacker was good, the rest, well, not so good.

Nice to see something being done about it.

[Reply #4 on:]

Although, wont that mean half of PEEL will disappear? and on an unrelated note so would winna...

[Reply #5 on:]

Wait - random question.

I had an account - then changed my email address, but the new password would never send.  So I had to create a new account.  Is my previous one considered "fake" and am I at risk of being disabled?

[Reply #6 on:]

Praise for you, mArc. Thanks for taking action and joining the good fight.

I missed a few lectures, what were the other 1728 rules again?

I made Franco for a bit of a niggling-aggro thing that me and Cube had going for a while back in the glorious days of '03. Kill him off if needs be.

Cube's not around to Hadokenify anymore. I guess that means i won. All my millions, upon millions, upon billions of acres of minions are now useless, except for maybe testing a doom spell or two...
Let the smotening commence!

Cube had an account for the same reason, but i can't remember the name of it.

Thankee [-mArcUs-pOlArIs-] may death come quickly to your genomish enemies.

Praised be free-spirited German effeciency!

Reminded me of:
Fake Homer: "Ya, please forgive my unexplained two week absence. To make it up to you we will go out to dinner at a sensibly priced restaraunt then have a night of efficient German sex."

I'm aware of the lack of relavance that that has to anything, but damn it's funny.

Hey, not ALL fake accounts are useless and irritating, folks. Some are used properly, like Jicannon, who you can hardly even tell is a fake account.

[Reply #9 on:]

I am so lost. Exactly who is fake?

[Reply #10 on:]

Im not sure, but im damn interested!

[Reply #11 on:]

Who I'm sure of:
Tallywhacker
DaveMason
Pen15

Can't think of any other active ones right now.

Tallywhacker and DaveMason will be allowed to stay because they're run by respected, veteran PEELers and one of them is funny.

I'm guessing alt accounts will only get banned if you post with them, so Slackit02 should be fine.

Note to [-mArc-] and the mod squad: Make sure you check poll results, too.  People using alts to vote multiple times should be banned as well.  And this should be retroactive to at least the Corrupt Despot thread.

That, and she's got a completely legitimate reason for having a second account.

I'd only worry about such things if you've been using the fake/second account for the purposes of evil.

[Reply #13 on:]

This is a witch hunt!!!

[Reply #14 on:]

Burn Her!

[Reply #15 on:]

She turned me into a newt!

[Reply #16 on:]

Whatever the reason was for getting a secondary account, send me an email and explain/say it can be disabled.

Just by going through a few logs, I'd like to hear from:

Guinea Pig Trick
Jeremy
NibblerJr
Nasty Pasty
Zeep
zoidyzoid
canned eggs
Metallica
blackkatnorn
jan_18_1981
leela_zoid
athena1999
zomit
WhiteMoth
seraicontet
Simp-o-Rama

This isn't a complete list and some of these people might be inactive for a longer time already , caused by public computers/sibblings or have secondary accounts for valid reasons.

[Reply #17 on:]

I think jan_18_1981 was banned

[Reply #18 on:]

Nasty Pasty! You disapoint me!

[Reply #19 on:]

Meh, there are at least three accounts from his house.  His, B_W's, and that one account he made so he could double-post in the NationStates thread.

[Reply #20 on:]

they should have a record for "the most phoney accounts"... then get banned.

Bender_Waffles is Nasty's wife? *dramtic 'Dum' sound*

[Reply #22 on:]

It's his sister. Not his wife.
Or maybe...

IT'S BOTH!

I've heard stories about you North Jersey people ...

[Reply #25 on:]

I'm disappointed to see a list with those people's names... those people who aren't me 

[Reply #26 on:]

Then she's your cousin. AND your sister AND your wife! *dun dun daaa*

But seriously, I misread, and I can't remember who B_W's brother is off the top of my head. It seemed to fit.

[Reply #27 on:]

Ok marc, you gotta tell me....DaveMason is a real guy isn't he? Please don't dash my dreams of one day being his best bud and taking frequent lunch breaks at Mr. Wok with him 

[Reply #28 on:]

I know Dave Mason personally (as far as the internet goes), and he's definitely not fake.   

[Reply #29 on:]

I'm surprised the list is so big, and even that's incomplete. I thought it was just a few people with loads of different accounts...

CWD and WhiteMoth are brother and sister.

I don't think that either of them post here anymore, though.

[Reply #31 on:]

NJ is real.

[Reply #32 on:]

Do you even know what you're talking about?

[Reply #33 on:]

*raises hand*

I "Cunt Luve a Guurl Luke" you

[Reply #34 on:]

 

I find that offnsive!

[Reply #35 on:]

I'm surprised VF hasn't come by with the banstick yet, myself.

[Reply #36 on:]

While we're on the subject of fake and multiple accounts, marky is back in the guise of sith_lord.

Can somebody please perma ban? I'm sure racism against Australians and trolling offences is more than enough proof in this case.

[Reply #37 on:]

I agree, ban the fake accounts.

Byebye BlackkatNorn, Sith_Lord, Pen15, DaveMason, Winna, and Jicannon! Won't miss you!

[Reply #38 on:]

Jicannon is fake? I'm so out of the loop.

[Reply #39 on:]

...I can't tell if you guys are kidding or if I made one too many jokes about me being fake.
At any rate, if I'm fake (which I'll soon find out), I'm bart182's second account.
