krispn Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 What's the thought's on a person having multiple accounts on a forum. Is it all harmless fun, a social experiment, a way to play devils advocate etc. or do folk have other views on the topic? I can understand that the reasons to do so can be many and varied but I'm undecided on how I feel about it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Hmm, an interesting question. I'll ask my alter ego. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Sorry I couldn't resist. I didn't realise people did either, but now you've got me thinking which two members could be the same person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Having more than one account so you can express different views seems a bit underhand to me. You might find you're arguing with yourself. No wonder there are frequent threads about mental health! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Isn't multiple accounts against the rules of the forum? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Is it better to be schitzophrenic than alone? Another forum gives a long ban for those who play with more than one account. For a reason, there are people behaving badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm struggling to see why anybody would.......unless they have multiple-personalities? I am resisting the temptation to suspect something underhand....but maybe somebody can enlighten me with legitimate reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm far too simplistic to even consider more than one account. I didn't realise this forum stuff was a game you could win by having a team to get your point across. I just say what I feel (within reason) and if people like it then all very well, and if they don't then never mind. One view I have repeated is my one on Internet arguing, "where no one wins and everyone looks like tw@ts", so why bother or worry about it. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Can’t see the point myself, but each to their own - providing it’s not breaking any rules of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 As much as I like to BassCHAT, I also like to BassPLAY... I barely have enough time for the one account! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odysseus Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) When I used to mod on another forum, alternative accounts were known as 'sock puppets' and got shut down, and the offending member warned.

FinnDave Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Has anyone ended up buying a bass from themselves, and if so, how was the haggling conducted? Did you have to drive to a distant motorway service station in order to conduct the transaction in front of a mirror? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I am really struggling to think of a good reason to have a second (or more) account on a forum. I really can't think of anything that doesn't suggest it is an underhand way to create trouble. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Me and @Al Krow were the same person once.... But not anymore. He likes boss synth pedals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
