Dupe accounts are against the rules

[p1ngpong]

This has become an epidemic of sorts lately with multiple instances of this happening every week and goes back to the issue of new members being oblivious of the rules. People are making second and third accounts all over the place constantly to reply to their own threads, give themselves likes and to act generally retarded.

If you make a second duplicate account for any reason you will be warned, possibly suspended and run the risk of being banned if you already have existing warns.

Read the rules people because this is getting ridiculous at this point and you are giving the staff tons of unnecessary work and jeopardizing your accounts here for stupid reasons.

Luckily I've never done, nor considered this sort of thing and still not a single warn...sadly.

I swear you got an IP ban from dupe accounts before. Did the rules get a little less strict?

I'm pasting this here:

- Set an age limit. I won't hide the fact that I got very disappointed at the forum in the Youtube Red news thread. References to real porn websites everywhere, even from the staff and OP. Low quality jokes all over. Isn't that bumping spam in a way? Wasn't this forum open for everyone? If it isn't, then why there isn't an age limit? An 11 years old made an account here and constantly posts in the EOF. It even made a thread saying that an user was dead and a shitstorm happened. How can someone this young contribute to a forum in any way, if not by spamming a lot? I know there are many adults that act like 5 years old, but those are a small minority. Kids being kids are the norm. Set a 13 or 16 age limit in order to register here and ban anybody who doesn't meet the requirements. Sure, some might keep their age a secret, but what's the problem then? If they don't behave, treat them like a normal user and ban them.

Is this doable?

Age restrictions have only taught people to subtract the relevant number from the current date, or just give the scroll wheel a good spin on the year dropdown.

If the server, owners, domain... meant that some kind of real ID system was necessary (like it is in a few countries) then I guess it could be done but short of that I can not see how implementing such a thing would be any kind of useful at all.

Kids are stupid. The user that recently got banned because he admitted to have made a dupe account demonstrated it. Sooner or later they will brag about their real age and you ban them. If they are below the age restriction but you can't tell because they somehow make quality posts then hey, there is no problem.

Either that or you should put "no childish behavior" in the rules.

 

[FAST6191]

I think you think too little of people, which is usually my job so stop that as soon as you like. Bragging about age is a possibility but there is already something of a topic of non discussion so that would probably only catch the lowest of low hanging fruit.

As for putting "no childish behavior" in the rules then is that not already covered by the rules? We have another thread at this point covering the idea that there are rules but being a disruption can see you invited to use to the door, spelling such things out seems redundant.
