I've just re-read the TOS after recent banning shenanigans. I won't mention specific cases because I can't, and don't, claim to know all the facts.
My question is this - If somebody is posting under multiple accounts and is not being abusive, trolling or answering their own posts should they be banned just for being deceptive?
I guess I'm saying, what is considered disruptive? If I create a second account to post as a gay man because I get my jollies that way* should I be banned?
Here's the section of the ToS I'm talking about:
Accounts- Members here are discouraged from having multiple accounts. We realize that sometimes several members of a family will use the same computer and we encourage that. However, if a member sets up multiple accounts to post from for the purpose of disrupting the board, that will be considered trolling. Members who post from multiple accounts for the purpose of trolling the board will be banned without warning.
* That's theoretical - I neither do that, nor do I get my jollies that way.:smile:
